.... Over a 23-month period, 40 patients with low free protein S were identified. Eight of these patients were found to have suffered a stroke. This study examined the relationship between total S, free S, and C4b-BP in 15 healthy adult volunteers, in 20 patients with normal protein S levels, in 40 patients...

Methods: In a randomized, double-blind study, 40 patients suffering from an acute ischemic stroke received either 6% HES 130/0.4 or crystalloid solution...

...C.G. Faber; J. Lodder; F. Kessels; J.

The mortality rate is higher in vascular dementia (VaD) than in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Community-based studies have...

...Fop van Kooten; Peter J. Koudstaal Twenty to 25% of stroke patients are demented after stroke, which makes stroke an important risk factor for dementia. However, the diagnosis of dementia is difficult and depends heavily on methodology. In this review, we describe pitfalls of diagnosis...
