Background and Purpose—Large vessels are also affected in sickle cell disease. The aim of this study was to assess several parameters […]
Medicalxpress.com: Neuroscience: March 21, 2012. Investigators at the Stanford University School of Medicine have shown that removing a matched set of molecules that typically help to regulate the brain’s capacity for forming and eliminating connections between nerve cells could substantially aid recovery from stroke even days after the event. In experiments with mice, the scientists demonstrated that […]
American Heart Association: March 15, 2012. Abstract Background and Purpose—Pretreatment infarct volume appears to predict clinical outcome after intra-arterial therapy. To confirm the importance of infarct size in patients undergoing intra-arterial therapy, we sought to characterize the relationship between final infarct volume (FIV) and long-term functional outcome in a prospective cohort of endovascularly treated patients. […]
Jama.ama-assn.org: Hooman Kamel, MD; Babak B. Navi, MD; Jahan Fahimi, MD, MPH – March 14, 2012. Thrombolytic therapy improves outcomes after ischemic stroke, but most patients are ineligible because they do not present in time.1 This has prompted efforts to educate people to call 911 for signs of stroke because ambulance transportation results in faster arrival at […]
Circgenetics.ahajournals: Katherine Kasiman1, Cecilia Lundholm2, Sven Sandin2, Ninoa Malki2, Pär Sparén2 and Erik Ingelsson2* – March 9, 2012. Abstract Background—Previous studies on familial risk of ischemic stroke have supported genetic influence on the disease incidence. This study aimed to characterize these familial effects in a nation-wide population-based study by taking into account sibling relations, sex of […]
