changes in extra and intracellular neurotransmitter amino acids concentration in the early stage of acute cerebral ischemia have been reported. in this the study, serum level of gamma aminobutyric acid (gaba) and l-arginine in acute ischemic stroke patients was assessed. 60 patients with acute ischemic stroke and sixthy healthy volunteers as a control group were assessed. serum gaba was measure...

background and purpose: the relationship between uric acid and stroke recurrence is ambiguous. some studies have explored this relationship in acute ischemic stroke but had different results. we evaluated the association of admission uric acid level with risk of stroke recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke. methods: we studied ischemic stroke patients presenting to our hospital with magne...

background: stroke is a heterogeneous disease with several risk factors. high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) is a marker for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. recent studies have shown that high hscrp level is a risk factor for ischemic stroke. the objective of our study was to investigate the association of high hscrp (> 3 mg/l) levels with ischemic stroke and its subtypes i...

Ischemic stroke accounts for about 87 percent of all cases. It occurs as a result of an obstruction within a vessel of the brain and sudden loss of blood circulation to the corresponding area resulting in the loss of brain function. It is caused by thrombotic or embolic occlusion of an artery and is more common than hemorrhagic stroke. We know that most of the injuries after an acute ischemic s...
