چکیده
BACKGROUND We intended to investigate the serum magnesium impact upon the disability after ischemic stroke. METHODS A total of 67 ischemic stroke patients who less than 6 hours had passed from their attacks participated in this cross sectional study. We have measured their serum magnesium level and determined its correlation with their Rankin Disability Score (RDS) in the first 72 hours (RDS0) and after 1 week (RDS1w) and its change in this period of time by using nominal regression method and repeated measure ANOVA in SPSS 17. RESULTS There was a reciprocal statistical correlation between serum magnesium level and RDS0 and RDS1w. (P = 0.000 & 0.002 respectively). But it hasn't any significant statistical correlation with the changes of this score in this period of time (P = 0.513). CONCLUSION Serum magnesium level is a good predictor for patients' abilities that involved by an ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypothermia is neuroprotective in ischemic stroke models. The influence of baseline body temperature on outcomes after thrombolytic therapy is unclear. We examined outcomes after alteplase treatment across baseline body temperature for patients with ischemic stroke in data held within the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive (VISTA; 1998 to 2007). METHODS We coll...
متن کاملAncrod in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Background and Purpose—Previous studies of multiple-day dosing with the defibrinogenating agent, ancrod, in acute ischemic stroke yielded conflicting results but suggested that a brief dosing regimen might improve efficacy and safety. The Ancrod Stroke Program was designed to test this concept in subjects beginning ancrod or placebo within 6 hours of the onset of acute ischemic stroke. Methods—...
