Protein C in acute stroke.

ارتباط سطح سرمی پروتئین واکنشگر C-با تنگی عروق داخل و خارج مغزی در بیماران مبتلا به سکته مغزی ایسکمیک حاد

Background and Objective: Previous studies have been shown that serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP) is significantly correlated with mortality and functional outcome in patients with ischemic stroke. Some studies point to specific vessels involvement according to different serum level CRP. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum C-reactive protein level ...

Ability of serum C-reactive protein and white blood cell cout in predicting acute schemic stroke. A short -term follow-up study

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and long-term morbidity. The aim of the present study was to determine the ability of baseline serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC) values in predicting the outcome of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: This study consisted of patients with first AIS referred to Poursina Hospital, Rasht, Iran. Severity...

Predictive ability of C-reactive protein for stroke

ارزیابی سطح سرمی اسید اوریک و ویتامین C در فاز حاد سکته‌ی مغزی آتروترومبوتیک

Background and Objective: Uric acid and vitamin C take part in protection mechanisms to overcome the oxidative stress that occurs in vascular accidents. Considering the prevalence of cerebrovascular accidents and unresolved position of these antioxidants, this study aimed to assess serum uric acid and vitamin C levels in acute ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 patients durin...

Lacunar infarction in child with Protein S deficiency: a case report

Abstract Arterial ischemic stroke defines as a new focal neurologic deficit that lasted 24 hours or longer. Stroke is relatively rare in children and incidence of cerebrovascular disease is 1 per 4000 in neonates and 1 per 7000 to 1 per 70000 in older children (1 month to 18 years). Protein S deficiency is one of the causes of the stroke in children. Major manifestations of protein S deficienc...
