Rapid and targeted diagnostic evaluation is essential in the clinical diagnosis of cerebral ischaemic infarction. According to the principle “time is brain”, clinical evaluation should be performed as a matter of urgency to initiate potential treatment without any delay. Cerebral infarction is a medical emergency and accordingly, patients with suspected cerebral infarction have priority in the ...

BACKGROUND Pregnancy losses and atherosclerotic disease may be etiologically linked through underlying pathology. We examined whether miscarriage and stillbirth increase later risk of myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and renovascular hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS Among women pregnant at least once between 1977 and 2008, we identified a cohort of women with miscarriages, stillbi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relation between serum total cholesterol levels and stroke is controversial. The Akita Pathology Study provides data on the association of serum total cholesterol, different types of stroke, and distribution of stenosis in cerebral arteries. METHODS The data are based on 750 autopsied men aged 30 years and older who were admitted to a local hospital in northeast Jap...

We present a normal 13-year old female who developed left cerebral infarction following envenomation by the carpet viper (Echis carinatus). We have read of only one other case of cerebral infarction following viper envenomation (Viperi russelli). Possible mechanisms for cerebral infarction in these circumstances are discussed. It is believed that this complication may be more common than is rep...

OBJECTIVE: To identify global research trends in neuroimaging diagnosis for cerebral infarction using a bibliometric analysis of the Web of Science. DATA RETRIEVAL: We performed a bibliometric analysis of data retrieval for neuroimaging diagnosis for cerebral infarction containing the key words “CT, magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, transcranial Doppler, transvaginal color Doppler, digital subtr...

BACKGROUND Clinical and radiologic predictors of cerebral infarction occurrence and location after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage have been seldom studied. METHODS We evaluated all patients admitted to our hospital with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage between 1998 and 2000. Cerebral infarction was defined as a new hypodensity located in a vascular distribution on computed tomography (C...

BACKGROUND Risk factors associated with cerebral infarction within 7 days after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting require further statistical elucidation. METHODS From January 1997 to July 2006, off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting was performed in 576 patients at Toyama University Hospital. Factors including previous cerebral infarction, lesions in head and neck vessels, preoperat...
