Resting State Functional Connectivity and Thrombolysis Mediated Reperfusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator (rTPA) is used to treat acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Early recanalization from this leads to better stroke outcomes, but the exact mechanism remains unknown. To clarify this, we correlated tissue perfusion and functional outcomes in acute stroke patients (AIS) who received rTPA to resting state default mode network (DMN) and task-positive (TPN) activities measured with fMRI. Following NIH stroke scale (NIHSS) assessments, patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans during rTPA infusion (baseline), six hours post stroke and at 30d follow up visit.

Myxoma may cause systemic embolization and frequently presents as ischemic stroke. There has been debates whether it is safe to use recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in patients with cardiac myxoma who are presented with ischemic stroke at emergency department. we describe a young case of atrial myxoma with initial presentation of acute cerebral infarction symptoms who was treate...

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of controlled mouth breathing during the resting state using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods: Eleven subjects participated in this experiment in which the controlled “Nose” and “Mouth” breathings of 6 s respiratory cycle were performed with a visual cue at 3T MRI. Voxel-wise seed-to-voxel maps and whole-brain region of i...

Background: Thrombolytic therapy is the only approved treatment for acute cerebral ischemia. The hemorrhagic transformation is the greatest complication of this treatment, which may occur after recanalization of occluded artery. The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with clinical improvement and worsening in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous th...

Arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in adults is considered a serious health threat and requires urgent medical treatment. Prompt diagnosis allows the therapeutic option of thrombolysis within the time window of 3 to 6 hours after first symptoms. Alternatively, early anti-platelet therapy is effective in improving the outcome after stroke. The incidence of pediatric AIS range from 2 to 5 per 100 000...
متن کاملRe-canalization in acute ischemic stroke: the strategies.
Thrombolytic stroke therapy is based on the "re-canalization hypothesis," i.e., that reopening of occluded vessels improves clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke through regional reperfusion and salvage of threatened tissues. Re-canalization is an important predictor of stroke outcome in all the modalities of thrombolysis. Thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke evolved from clinical trials w...
