Systolic blood pressure measurements are unreliable for the management of acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

Purpose: Whether systolic blood pressure (SBP) is reliable in acute spontaneous intracerebral (sICH) by assessing agreement between simultaneous BP measurements obtained from cuff non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and radial arterial invasive blood pressure (AIBP) devices.

Material And Methods: Among 766 prospectively screened sICH subjects, 303 (39.5%) had NIBP and AIBP measurements.

Valacyclovir and Acyclovir Neurotoxicity With Status Epilepticus.

We present the case of a 52-year-old man with hypertension, diastolic congestive heart failure, end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis 3 times a week and a remote history of a hemorrhagic stroke who presented to the emergency department with a vesicular rash on his left arm. The rash was observed to be in a dermatomal distribution, and a diagnosis of herpes zoster was made. The patient was discharged home on valacyclovir 1 g 3 times a day for a duration of 7 days.
