conclusions if seizure occurs during the peripartum period, along with providing complete cardiovascular and respiratory support, advanced diagnostic measures are needed and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis should be considered as a possible diagnosis. introduction seizure involves less than 1% of pregnancies; however it is associated with increased maternal and fetal complications. cerebral ve...

Introduction: Several studies have indicated that late treatment of aminoguanidine (AG) reduces cerebral ischemic injuries in animal models. However, the effects of early treatment of AG on cerebral ischemic damage are not well understood. This study was designed to evaluate effect of early treatment of AG on cortex and striatum injuries as well as neurological dysfunctions in transient mode...

introduction measuring magnetic induction phase shift (mips) changes as a function of cerebral hemorrhage volume has the potential for being a simple method for primary and non-contact detection of the occurrence and progress of cerebral hemorrhage. our previous mips study showed that the intracranial pressure (icp) was used as a contrast index and found the primary correlation between mips and...

introduction : cerebral autoregulation (ca) and mean cerebral blood flow velocity in males and females are still under controversy. the present study was scheduled to address the effect of sex on these parameters. materials and methods : the present study was interventional and performed on 30 healthy volunteers (15 males aging from 20-30 yrs and mean age of 23.9±3 years old and 15 females agin...

Objective(s): Carthamus tinctorius L. (CT) or saffloweris widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. This study investigated the effects of CT extract (CTE) on ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) brain injury and elucidated the underlying mechanism. Materials and Methods: The I/R model was conducted by occlusion of both common carotid arteries and right middle cerebral artery for 90 min followed by 24...

Objective: The present study investigated possible neuroprotective effects of ethanolic extract of Tiliacora triandra leaf against cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury in mice. Materials and Methods: Forty male Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were randomly divided into five groups: (1) Sham + 10% Tween 80, (2) bilateral common carotid artery occlu...
