Journal ArticleDOI
Dental infections in association with cerebral infarction in young and middle-aged men.
TL;DR: Poor oral health, as assessed by two indices measuring the severity of infections of teeth and periodontium, or by the presence of subgingival calculus or the existence of suppuration in the gingival pockets, were more common in male patients than in male controls, but no difference was observed in females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preceding infection as an important risk factor for ischaemic brain infarction in young and middle aged patients.
TL;DR: Although causality cannot be inferred from these data and plausible underlying mechanisms remain undetermined, preceding febrile infection may play an important part in the development of brain infarction in young and middle aged patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular diseases and oral infections
TL;DR: Patients who have poor oral health need health education, paying attention to those common risk factors of oral infections and vascular diseases, because they may predispose to infectious complications, which may lead to infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pneumococcal bacteraemia during a recent decade
TL;DR: The thrombocytopenia at the time of positive blood culture and the circulatory acidosis as a complication seemed to be independently the most useful predictive factors for a fatal outcome using multivariate logistical regression analysis after adjustment to classic risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central Nervous System Complications in Patients with Bacteremia
TL;DR: Almost 40% of the patients with bacteremia developed CNS complications, which were a significant risk factor for death during the first month after the bacteretmia, and mental changes were not associated with any bacterial species studied.
