Novel diagnostic test for acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The absence of a widely available and sensitive diagnostic test for acute cerebral ischemia remains a significant limitation in the diagnosis and management of stroke. The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of developing a diagnostic panel of blood-borne biochemical markers of cerebral ischemia. METHODS Serial blood samples were obtained from patient...

Yet, despite the enormous socioeconomic burden that it imposes, therapies to combat AIS are not widely available. Moreover, revascularization of the ischemic tissue with tissue plasminogen activator, the only FDA-approved therapy for AIS, is hampered by a very narrow therapeutic time win...
متن کاملBlood genomic profiling: novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for stroke?
Findings from gene expression profiling studies are leading to new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that can be applied in medical practice, especially in the field of oncology. Promising results of gene expression profiling of the peripheral blood in patients with ischaemic stroke have been obtained in recent pilot studies, demonstrating a partially reproducible gene signature of acute ce...
متن کاملA diagnostic test for apraxia in stroke patients: internal consistency and diagnostic value.
The internal consistency and the diagnostic value of a test for apraxia in patients having had a stroke are presented. Results indicate that the items of the test form a strong and consistent scale: Cronbach's alpha as well as the results of a Mokken scale analysis present good reliability and good scalability. The diagnostic value of the test was determined by comparison of test results in thr...
