The therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord blood transplantation for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and ischemic stroke.
Human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) cells are rich source of immature stem cells, which have the potential to repair lost tissue. Intractable central nervous system (CNS) disorders are important targets for regenerative medicine, and the application of HUCB cells is being investigated in animal models of CNS disorders. Transplantation of HUCB has induced functional improvements in these animal mo...
متن کاملVitamin D and Ischemic Stroke
Introduction: stroke is the most important brain disease. Stroke leads to a reduction in bone density, altered calcium homeostasis, and an increase in hip fractures. Some recent studies show effects of vitamin D on stroke and vice versa. The purpose of this study was to determine of serum vitamin D levels in patients with acute stroke. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we compared t...
متن کاملStem cell transplantation for ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND Studies in animal models of ischemic stroke have shown that stem cells transplanted into the brain can lead to functional improvement. However, to date, evidence for the benefits of stem cell transplantation in ischemic stroke patients is lacking. OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and safety of stem cell transplantation compared with conventional treatments in patients with ischemi...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia for acute ischemic stroke.
Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator remains the only US FDA-approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke. However, the very limited time window for its administration restricts its usefulness. Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly clear that, given the numerous pathways via which cerebral ischemia causes cell death, the capacity to inhibit multiple mechanisms simultaneously ...
متن کاملIschemic Stroke after Heart Transplantation
Cerebrovascular complications after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) are more common in comparison with neurological sequelae subsequent to routine cardiac surgery. Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) are more common (with an incidence of up to 13%) than intracranial hemorrhage (2.5%). Clinically, ischemic stroke is manifested by the appearance of focal neurologic deficits...
