Department of Neurology, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA
Neurocrit Care 13:118-22. 2010..However, neither their attitude toward aggressive treatment, nor their perception of acceptable quality of life after a stroke, has been adequately studied...
The effect of decompressive hemicraniectomy on brain temperature after severe brain injuryKazuma Nakagawa
