(1) The possibility of ICH should always be considered and excluded by CT or US in the infants with nonspecific clinical manifestations.
(2) To complement these results a perception test was carried out in which 29 native speakers identified a randomised sequence of 220 stimuli from tape as one of the phrases 'Diese Gruppe kann ich nicht leid(e)n (leit(e)n)'.
(3) Contrast enhancement was demonstrated on day 3 in four of the five patients in whom the ICH was removed later than 10 days after the hemorrhage.
(4) But the ICH group showed a higher incidence of placental abruption, infarction, infection and incompetent cervix than the non-ICH group.
(5) Minor hemorrhage (not requiring transfusion) outside the central nervous system occurred in five of the nine patients with ICH.
(6) Nevertheless, invasive diagnostic procedures-in particular, open-lung biopsy-are often necessary to diagnose pulmonary disease in the ICH.
(7) The localization of An-ICH was 50% in the middle cerebral artery (MC), 43% in the anterior cerebral artery (AC) and 8% in the internal carotid arterial region.
(8) Stupor or coma at onset occurred more frequently in the IVH (62%) than in the INF (6%) or ICH (13%) groups and was reflected in significantly lower median Glasgow Coma Scores in the IVH group (7) than in the INF (15) and ICH (14) groups.
(9) Likewise, sera from these two groups of dogs had similar ranges of ICH neutralising antibody titres.
(10) Forty percent of An-ICH were treated conservatively and the outcome was very misery (no useful life and 94% was poor or dead).
(11) Stroke-related deaths occurred in 52% of IVH cases, 13% of ICH cases, and no cases of INF.
(12) Although the distribution of individual grades of ICH was not significantly different between the groups, the first ultrasound scan showed higher incidence of major ICH (grades 3 and 4) in the hypothermic infants.
(13) Among secondary alterations in hemostasis, thrombocytopenia, platelet function abnormalities, or factor consumption contribute to the risk of ICH in patients with ITP, TTP, disseminated intravascular coagulation, myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic disorders, and exposure to certain medications.
(14) The type of delivery is not likely to play a role by itself in mortality or in incidence of severe ICH.
(15) A larger number of pathologic findings of all mentioned enzymes and CPK isoenzymes was found in the group of patients with ICH.
(16) A routine skull x-ray study is therefore mandatory in all head-injured adolescents and, if a skull fracture is detected, immediate CT may be performed for early detection of ICH.
(17) Arteriography evidenced normal intracranial vessels, and namely excluded the presence of vascular malformations which could have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ICH.
(18) It is prudent, therefore, to follow SGA infants closely for ICH by repeat ultrasound examinations even if the first scan is negative.
(19) 5 groups were distinguished on the basis of CT data: 103 patients with isolated deep ICH had normal angiograms; 9 patients with isolated superficial ICH and 8 with deep ICH and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) had arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
(20) Hypertension is the major risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is present in about 50% of patients with ICH.
