Diagnosis of partial complex regional pain syndrome type 1 of the hand: retrospective study of 16 cases and literature review.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We aimed to develop a tool, the hemorrhagic transformation (HT) index (HTI), to predict any HT within 14 days after middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke onset regardless of the intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rtPA) use. That is especially important in the light of missing evidence-bas...
