background: the cardioprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning has been known for many years. since the temporary ischemia in the heart may cause lethal cardiac effects, the idea of creating ischemia in organs far from the heart such as limbs was raised as remote ischemic preconditioning (ripc). we hypothesized that the extension of ripc has more cardioprotective effect in patients undergo...

background:  the aim of this study was to evaluate whether higher serum levels of igf-i in the acute phase of ischemic stroke are associated with less severe strokes and better functional outcome in a period of one year follow up. methods: from october 2014 to august 2015, patients with the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke admitted to the stroke unit of firoozgar hospital entered this prospec...

Objective(s): It has been demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide plays a vital role in physiological and pathological processes such as regulating inflammation, oxidative stress, and vessel relaxation. The aim of the study was to explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide on angiogenesis in the ischemic adductor muscles of type 2 diabetic db/db mice and ischemic diabetic wound...
