101. Serial Electroencephalogram in Acute Cerebrovascular Disease

Serial changes in glucose utilization and insulin and growth hormone secretion in acute cerebrovascular disease.

Abttract: Serial Changes in Glucose Utilization and Insulin and Growth Hormone Secretion in Acute Cerebrovascular Disease • Serial studies were made of glucose utilization and insulin and growth hormone secretion following intravenous glucose tolerance tests given to 16 patients during recovery from acute cerebrovascular disease. Three groups of patients were identified based on the pattern of ...

Blood-brain barrier breakdown in acute and chronic cerebrovascular disease.

Disruptions of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and edema formation both play key roles in the development of neurological dysfunction in acute and chronic cerebral ischemia. Animal studies have revealed the molecular cascades that are initiated with hypoxia/ischemia in the cells forming the neurovascular unit and that contribute to cell death. Matrix metalloproteinases cause reversible degradatio...

Plasma renin activity in acute cerebrovascular disease: preliminary communication.

Plasma Renin Activity in Acute Cerebrovascular Disease: Preliminary Communication • A preliminary study of plasma renin activity was made in 22 patients with acute cerebrovascular disease. Eight of 12 patients with intracranial hemorrhage had plasma renin activity values above the normal range of 30 to 330 ng/100 ml plasma, but only one of ten patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease had ...

Current status of thrombolytic agents in acute cerebrovascular disease.

Progress in Cerebrovascular Disease Digital Subtraction Angiography in Cerebrovascular Disease

THE INTRAVENOUS INJECTION of contrast medi­ um for the visualization of vascular structures was introduced 43 years ago by Robb and Steinberg. This technique never gained widespread popularity because of the technical problems in obtaining consistent im­ ages of good quality. Also, the amount of contrast medium that had to be injected to achieve adequate visualization of large arteries was subs...
