Estrogenic Therapy in Men With Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease: Effect on Recurrent Cerebral Infarction and Survival • A cooperative clinical investigation was undertaken in 15 Veterans Administration Hospitals to determine whether long-term therapy with conjugated equine estrogens prevented recurrent cerebral infarction or death due to atherosclerotic vascular disease. Follow-up observations ...

aim: oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. since water-solublefullerene derivatives act as the potent scavenger of oxygen free radicals in biological systems, we aimedto investigate the possible protective effects of fullerol nanoparticles on brain infarction and edema intransient model of focal cerebral ischemia in rat.materials & methods: experiment ...

Meningioma presenting as ischemic stroke is very rare. We report a case of left medial sphenoid wing meningioma with cerebral infarction due to occlusion middle artery (MCA) in 36-year-old female. discuss the incidence, pathophysiology, management and review literature intracranial stroke.

AIM Previous studies have reported a 10.2%-22% rate of silent cerebral infarction and a 0.1%-1% rate of symptomatic cerebral infarction after coronary angiography (CAG). However, the risk factors of cerebral infarction after CAG have not been fully elucidated. For this reason, we investigated the incidence and risk factors of CVD complications within 48 h after CAG using magnetic resonance imag...

Spinal cord stroke is rare accounting for 0.3-1% of all strokes and is classified into upper (cervical) and lower (thoracolumbar) strokes. Patients present with severe deficits but later often show good functional improvement. On admission, younger age, male gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and elevated blood glucose indicate more severe spinal cord strokes. Treatment of these risk facto...

BACKGROUND The association between oxidised low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and cerebral infarction is suspected but not established. OBJECTIVES To determine whether plasma OxLDL is a useful marker for monitoring oxidative stress in stroke patients. METHODS Plasma OxLDL concentrations were determined in 56 stroke patients with cerebral infarction (n = 45) or cerebral haemorrhage (n = 11), a...

PURPOSE The arterial pulsatility index (PI) is measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and is postulated to reflect the vascular resistance distal to the artery being examined. An increased PI of the intracranial artery is often reported with diabetes mellitus (DM), old age, hypertension, intracranial hypertension, vascular dementia, and small artery disease. Microvascular compli...

To explore therapeutic effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) on cerebral infarction by establishing canine middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) infarct model. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology was used to study effects of NGF on cerebral infarction, and the results of MRI indexes (such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI)) were compared with th...

AIM To define neonatal pial middle cerebral artery infarction. METHODS A retrospective study was made of neonates in whom focal arterial infarction had been detected ultrasonographically. A detailed study was made of cortical middle cerebral artery infarction subtypes. RESULTS Forty infarctions, with the exception of those in a posterior cerebral artery, were detected ultrasonographically o...
