a number of evidences suggest that during ischemic stroke, serum iron and hemoglobin (hb) levels are changed. yet, there are few reports in the literature related to this issue and resolution of this mechanism requires further experiments. the aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of serum iron and hemoglobin levels as a  biomarker in diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ischemia on computed tomography (CT) is associated with subsequent stroke after transient ischemic attack. This study assessed CT findings of acute ischemia, chronic ischemia, or microangiopathy for predicting subsequent stroke after transient ischemic attack. METHODS This prospective cohort study enrolled patients with transient ischemic attack or nondisabling stroke t...

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is associated with a high 90-day risk of stroke. Recently, tools for identifying and triaging high-risk patients, rapid medical management, and access to specialist care have led to improved outcomes. One such tool, the age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration of transient ischemic attack, diabetes mellitus (ABCD2) score, uses clinical data to stratify pa...

background: nitric oxide synthase (nos) activity is increased during hypertension and cerebral ischemia. nos inactivation reduces stroke-induced cerebral injuries, but little is known about its role in blood-brain barrier (bbb) disruption and cerebral edema formation during stroke in acute hypertension. here, we investigated the role of nos inhibition in progression of edema formation and bbb d...

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...

A retrospective review of PubMed, Embase, Web Science, and Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials was performed from January 1, 1990 to June 2020. Based on three patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), oral anticoagulant plus antiplatelet therapy significantly improved acute limb ischemia, stroke, major amputation events compared agents alone. However, not effective the prev...

conclusions trauma induced by the tip of the catheter at the contact location with the lv wall in a patient with mild hypercoagulable state accounted for intracardiac thrombosis formation and its embolization to the brain and intestines. introduction coronary angiography can be complicated by some major complications such as stroke. case presentation we describe a patient who presented with hem...

Septic embolism associated with infective endocarditis (IE) is the occlusion of a blood vessel caused by an infected thrombus traveling through bloodstream resulting in ischemia and/or infarction. can result infarction due to vascular and infection, inflammation possible abscess formation. Systemic embolization generally occurs left-sided IE, causing stroke, blindness or endophthalmitis, spleni...
