Transient cerebral ischemic attacks.
نویسندگان
چکیده
“Stroke” is defined as rapid onset of focal neurological deficit, resulting from diseases of the cerebral vasculature and its contents. The term “transient ischemic attacks” (TIA) implies warning symptoms of stroke usually lasting upto 30 minutes to one hour, and complete recovery within 24 hours. Second TIA often causes more damage than the first. Without proper treatment one out of ten subjects who have had TIA will develop a stroke within a year.

Research Paper: Optimization of Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia Model by Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
Introduction: Cerebral ischemia is one of the most common causes of death in human populations in the industrial communities. The need for animal models is inevitable to study the pathophysiology and treatment of cerebral ischemia in human. The current study aimed at evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of different techniques used to create ischemia in previous studies and optimizing the tr...
متن کاملShort Communication Orthostatic Transient Ischemic Attacks: A Symptom of Large Vessel Occlusion
TRANSIENT CEREBRAL ISCHEMIC ATTACKS may be focal or generalized (syncope). The latter are usually caused by a fall in systemic blood pressure, often precipitated by standing. Focal transient ischemic attacks (TIA) however, are rarely associated with hypotensive episodes' 2 and even more rarely are precipitated by standing. A case of orthostatic TIA is presented and previous cases from the liter...
متن کاملCarotid transient ischemic attacks and normal investigations: a follow-up study.
Reports on the long-term prognosis of patients with transient ischemic attacks and normal angiograms have revealed variable results, some suggesting a good prognosis while others report an outcome no different from that of patients with transient ischemic attacks and atherosclerotic vascular narrowing. Normal cerebral angiograms do not exclude disease in the heart or hematologic disorders. The ...
متن کاملL-NAME and 7-Nitroindazole Reduces Brain Injuries in Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Rat
Background: The role of nitric oxide (NO) of endothelial or neuronal origins in cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injuries are far from being settled, extending from being important to not having any role at all. Objective: To investigate the role of NO of endothelial and neuronal origins in ischemia/reperfusion injuries in focal cerebral ischemia, L-NAME, a non selective NO synthase inhibitor...
متن کاملOrthostatic transient ischemic attacks: a symptom of large vessel occlusion.
Orthostatic transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are very much rarer than orthostatic generalized cerebral ischemia (syncope). A case is described and previous reports reviewed. Orthostatic TIA appears to occur only with large vessel occlusion. In these patients, collateral blood supply is marginal and unable to support normal postural autoregulation.
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of Blood Brain Barrier permeability in transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat
Introduction: Development of brain edema following focal cerebral ischemia exacerbates primary ischemic injury. Blood brain barrier (BBB) opening is an important part of edema named as vasogenic brain edema. In this study, quantitative alterations of BBB permeability is experimentally evaluated using transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat. Methods: Two groups of male rats (ischemic and sh...
