Time and Diffusion Lesion Size in Major Anterior Circulation Ischemic Strokes
Acute ischemic stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of severe disability in adults. Cerebral artery occlusions of the terminal internal carotid artery (ICA) and the proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) represent 30% to 40% of all acute ischemic strokes, but account for the majority of poor outcomes. Current treatment approaches for these stroke...
متن کاملLetter by Dai et al regarding article, "time and diffusion lesion size in major anterior circulation ischemic strokes".
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Major anterior circulation ischemic strokes caused by occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery or proximal middle cerebral artery or both account for about one third of ischemic strokes with mostly poor outcomes. These strokes are treatable by intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator and endovascular methods. However, dynamics of infarct growth in these stroke...
متن کاملAerobic Exercises Improve Blood Flow and Cognitive Functions in Anterior Circulation Ischemic Strokes
Background: Cerebrovascular disorders are the second most common cause of cognitive decline. Aerobic exercises have been proved to improve cognitive functions through producing vascular changes. Objective: To assess and explain from physiological point of view the efficacy of aerobic exercise on cognitive changes of stroke patients. Methods: Thirty Egyptian patients with stroke in territory of ...
متن کاملStability of large diffusion/perfusion mismatch in anterior circulation strokes for 4 or more hours
BACKGROUND The stability of hypoperfused brain tissue in stroke patients with major artery occlusions is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the persistence of a diffusion/perfusion mismatch in patients with ICA or proximal MCA occlusions. METHODS Fourteen patients with ICA and/or proximal MCA occlusion and a diffusion/perfusion mismatch at presentation were studied. All were ...
متن کاملNIHSS and acute complications after anterior and posterior circulation strokes
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was associated with inhospital neurological and medical complications (NMC) in patients with posterior circulation infarction. METHODS This retrospective study included all patients admitted to our stroke unit during a one-year period (n = 289). NMC included neurological ...
