BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain infarction localized in the anterior cerebral artery territory is rather uncommon, and its etiology has not yet been fully elucidated. METHODS Based on computed tomographic findings, 17 patients with solitary anterior cerebral artery territory infarction were selected from among 3,619 patients admitted consecutively to our institute. Patients without angiographic ...

BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a multifunctional protein that plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism. However, the relationship between APOE gene polymorphisms and cerebral infarction in the Chinese population remains unclear. Therefore, we studied the role of APOE gene polymorphisms in patients with cerebral infarction in a Chinese population. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study ...

Objective: To study the risk factors of cerebral infarction in stroke patients. Methodology: It is a descriptive hospital based study conducted at the Department of Medicine, Naseer Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from January 2005 to December 2005. One hundred patients of stroke with cerebral infarction confirmed on C.T. scan brain and more than twenty years of age were included. Risk factors for ...

In this study, the correlation between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at rs2910829 and rs918592 in the phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) gene and cerebral infarction in the Uygur and Han ethnic groups of Xinjiang, China were examined. The study population consisted of 373 Uygur and Han patients with cerebral infarction and 377 Uygur and Han control participants with no nervous system dis...

OBJECTIVES Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and vertebral artery stenosis (VAS) are associated with cerebral infarction after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). It remains unclear whether this association is causal. We investigated the associations between neurologically asymptomatic CAS and VAS and the occurrence of subclinical cerebral lesions after CABG verified by magnetic resonance ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We have developed a dynamic CT method to measure absolute cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT). In this study we evaluated the ability of CT-derived functional maps to detect infarction in a rabbit model of focal cerebral ischemia. METHODS Sequential dynamic CT studies were performed at 2 different slices in 5 control rabbi...

Neurologic deficits resulting from stroke remain largely intractable, which has prompted thousands of studies aimed at developing methods for treating these neurologic sequelae. Endogenous neurogenesis is also known to occur after brain damage, including that due to cerebral infarction. Focusing on this process may provide a solution for treating neurologic deficits caused by cerebral infarctio...

BACKGROUND Cerebral infarction of unknown origin at admission accounts for half of all cerebral infarction cases in some institutions. However, the factors associated with cerebral infarction prognosis have not been sufficiently examined. Here, we investigated whether aortic arch plaques (AAPs) on transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) were associated with the prognosis of cerebral infarction ...

Ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) is a common clinical disease of ischemic necrosis or softening localized brain tissue, which belongs to in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In recent years, its incidence rate has gradually increased, the age onset tends be younger, and seriously affects quality life patients with cerebral infarction. TCM rehabilitation one effective methods improve symp...

Moyamoya disease was diagnosed as the cause of cerebral infarction in eight young adults (seven women, one man), aged 17-40 (mean 33) years. All had angiographic abnormalities characteristic of moyamoya disease. Single-photon emission tomography showed bilateral carotid circulation hypoperfusion and posterior circulation hyperemia in all seven patients with regional cerebral blood flow studies....
