Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular risk factors and diabetic neuropathy
Solomon Tesfaye,Nish Chaturvedi,Simon E.M Eaton,John D. Ward,Christos Manes,Constantin Ionescu-Tirgoviste,Daniel R. Witte,John H. Fuller +7 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that, apart from glycemic control, the incidence of neuropathy is associated with potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, including a raised triglyceride level, body-mass index, smoking, and hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adverse effects of prolonged hyperventilation in patients with severe head injury: a randomized clinical trial
Jan Paul Muizelaar,Anthony Marmarou,John D. Ward,H. A. Kontos,Sung C. Choi,D. P. Becker,H. D. Gruemer,H. F. Young +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that prophylactic hyperventilation is deleterious in head-injured patients with motor scores of 4-5 and that the course of ICP was most stable in the HV + THAM group, although mean ICP could be kept well below 25 mm Hg in all three groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
The outcome from severe head injury with early diagnosis and intensive management
TL;DR: It is proposed that vigorous surgical and medical therapy, by preventing or reversing secondary cerebral insults, enables some patients who would have died to make a good recovery without increasing the proportion of severely disabled patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traumatic acute subdural hematoma: major mortality reduction in comatose patients treated within four hours.
TL;DR: The delay from injury to operation was the factor of greatest therapeutic importance, and patients who underwent surgery within the first four hours had a 30 per cent mortality rate, as compared with 90 percent in those who had surgery after four hours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of ICP instability and hypotension on outcome in patients with severe head trauma
Anthony Marmarou,Randy L. Anderson,John D. Ward,Sung C. Choi,Harold F. Young,Howard M. Eisenberg,Mary A. Foulkes,Lawrence F. Marshall,John A. Jane +8 more
TL;DR: The relationship between raised intracranial pressure (ICP), hypotension, and outcome from severe head injury is described and a stepwise ordinal logistic regression was used to determine outcome.
