Research Paper: Optimization of Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia Model by Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion

Introduction: Cerebral ischemia is one of the most common causes of death in human populations in the industrial communities. The need for animal models is inevitable to study the pathophysiology and treatment of cerebral ischemia in human. The current study aimed at evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of different techniques used to create ischemia in previous studies and optimizing the tr...

Neuroprotective Effect of Paroxetine on Memory Deficit Induced by Cerebral Ischemia after Transient Bilateral Occlusion of Common Carotid Arteries in Rat

Aims:Memory deficit is the most visible symptom of cerebral ischemia. The hippocampus is sensitive against cerebral ischemia. Oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in the pathological process after cerebral ischemic injury. Paroxetine has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study the effect of paroxetine on memory deficit after cerebral ischemia was investigated. Meth...

Transient neurological deficits due to embolic occlusion and immediate reopening of the cerebral arteries.

The authors present two cases of transient occlusion of the major cerebral arteries which occurred during transfemoral catheterization of the carotid artery. Right hemiplegia and aphasia developed suddenly in both cases, and disappeared completely within 14 hours in one case and 25 minutes in the other. On the angiograms performed at the moment of onset of the symptoms, the site of the occlusio...
