چکیده
Homocysteine, Folic Acid, and B Vitamins Approximately 90% of all strokes are attributable to vascular risk factors.1 Homocysteine has also been identified as another risk factor for stroke. VITAmins TO Prevent Stroke (VITATOPS) aimed to assess whether daily administration of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 in patients with recent stroke or transient ischemic attack lowers homocysteine and reduces major vascular events. The data overall and pooled analysis of individual patient data showed that B vitamins have no or at most a marginal positive effect on reducing vascular events.2

متن کاملNeuroplasticity and neuromotor synergies in context of rehabilitation after stroke: a systematic review
Background: Alterations of neuroplasticity and cortical excitability are important pathophysiological factors in stroke. Modulation of the neuroplasticity has been proposed as an underlying mechanism of recovery in different neurological disorders. But it is not still clear how the CNS faces the complexity of muscle control. Neuroplastic processes may be used for the functional improvement of s...
