• There are two main types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic. • Ischemic strokes are far more common than hemorrhagic strokes. • The brain has a blood supply which is fairly consistent between individuals. • Ischemic strokes can be due to large-vessel atherosclerosis, aortocardioembolism, small-vessel occlusion, other determined causes, and undetermined causes. • Hemorrhagic strokes are most...

background stroke is the second cause of death and disability in the world, and oxidative stress which could be considered as a prognostic factor in patients for prevention, follow up and determination of stroke’s severity has a conceivable role in neural damage. objectives the aim of our study was to explain the association between oxidant/antioxidant imbalance as a prognostic factor in patien...

Eighteen consecutive patients satisfying predefined clinical criteria for embolic strokes were prospectively studied by sequential computerized tomography (CT). Their findings were compared to CT scans obtained from patients presumed to have suffered thrombotic strokes. Our data reveal that the CT appearance of hemorrhagic infarction is likely to occur twice as frequently (22%) in CT scans of s...

Background: Among different mechanisms, oxidative stress has a possible role in neural injury in cerebrovascular events. Objectives: Assessment the oxidants-antioxidants imbalance in ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Materials and Methods: Serum level of malondialdehyde, the main marker of lipid peroxidation, and total antioxidant capacity were measured in a group of 48 stroke patients consis...

Broadly, strokes are classified into two main types-ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke (IS) is characterized by blockage in blood flow to a focal area of the brain, until hemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding into the brain. Acute IS is more common than hemorrhagic stroke. Although according the previous literature data about 80% of strokes were ischemic, the retrospective review from...

Acute stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide, exceeded only by coronary artery disease and cancer. There are two major subtypes of strokeischemic and hemorrhagic with 20-30% of all strokes being hemorrhagic in nature. The incidence of ischemic strokes has steadily declined by virtue of rigorous risk factor modification, but the same has not been possible for hemorrhagic strokes. M...

OBJECTIVES To show that echocardiographic left atrial enlargement (Echo-LAE) and electrocardiographic left atrial abnormalities (ECG-LAA) may be probable new risk factors for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS This descriptive prospective case study included 140 CT or MRI-confirmed hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients, who were admitted to Rizgary Teaching Hospital, Erbil, Iraq from...

context migraine is a kind of primary headache that affects 10% to 20% of people worldwide. recent studies have shown that migraines can be involved in strokes incidences, especially ischemic strokes.hence, the current study aimed to review evidence in relation to migraine and risk of stroke. evidence acquisition a literature search was done for related articles dated between 1993 and 2013 on p...
