Introduction: Cerebral ischemia and reperfusion causes physiological and biochemical changes in the neuronal cells that will eventually lead to cell damage. Evidence indicates that exercise reduces the ischemia and reperfusion-induced brain damages in animal models of stroke. In the present study, the effect of exercise preconditioning on brain edema and neurological movement disorders followin...

Objective(s): To investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract EGb761 in early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and its mechanism. Materials and Methods: The SAH rat model was constructed and pre-treated with EGb761.The neurological function, severity of SAH, water content of brain tissue, damage degree of the blo...

The 6 3 Cu nuclear transverse relaxation rates have been measured in the normal state on both square and pyramidal C u 0 2 planes in HgBa 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O s + 8 with Tc = 133 K. The Gaussian component of the spin-echo decay rate, (1/T2G), for both sites increases with decreasing temperature, followed by a peak around T* ~ 150 K, indicating that the spin correlation becomes stronger with decreasing...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is one of the most common neurological diseases with no definite treatment. erythropoietin (epo) and progesterone (prog) have been shown to have neuroprotective effects in different types of experimental brain injury models. this study was designed to determine the effect of epo, prog and combination of epo/prog on neurological outcome after traumatic brain injury. ...

we report a patient diagnosed with whipple's disease (wd) who presented only with neurological symptoms. neuroimaging (mri) showed lesions with marked mass effect similar to infiltrative tumors, which were hypersignal on long tr and hyposignal on short tr images, located in several areas of the brain. in serial controls, lesions resolved with gliosis and atrophic changes as well as migration of...

Jacksonville, Fla., USA (May 1, 2014) — Neuroscientists at Mayo Clinic in Florida have defined a subtype of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that they say is neither well recognized nor treated appropriately. The variant, called hippocampal sparing AD, made up 11 percent of the 1,821 AD-confirmed brains examined by Mayo Clinic researchers — suggesting this subtype is relatively widespread in the genera...
