Is hypertension on admission associated with a lower risk of early seizures after stroke?
ES after stroke was equally frequent in patients with ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke. Low/normal blood pressure on admission and younger patient age were risk factors for ES after stroke.
Biochemical injury markers released during the cold preservation period were reflective of the duration of warm ischemic injury sustained prior to release of the markers, as well as the hepatic energy status. As such, assessment of the flush effluent at the end of cold preservation may be a useful tool in evaluating suboptimal livers prior to transplantation, particularly in situations with undeterminable ischemic durations.
