Cerebral perfusion and stroke.
نویسنده
چکیده
Stroke is a heterogeneous syndrome caused by multiple disease mechanisms, but all result in a disruption of cerebral blood flow with subsequent tissue damage. This review covers the mechanisms responsible for regulation of the normal cerebral circulation, and how they are disrupted in disease states. A central concept in treating patients with acute ischaemic stroke is the existence of an ischaemic penumbra of potentially salvageable tissue, and the evidence for its existence in humans is reviewed.

Evaluation of role of brain SPECT in diagnosis of post stroke dementia [Persian]
Post stroke dementia is one of the most common complications of stroke that is preventable and relatively treatable too. The purpose of the study is comparison between the positive findings in brain CT scan and brain perfusion SPECT. 15 patients who were complicated by dementia after cerebrovascular accident and also 5 patients as a control group enrolled in this study. Brain CT scan and ...
متن کاملComparison of admission perfusion computed tomography and qualitative diffusion- and perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in acute stroke patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Besides classic criteria, cerebral perfusion imaging could improve patient selection for thrombolytic therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare quantitative perfusion CT imaging and qualitative diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MRI (DWI and PWI) in acute stroke patients at the time of their emergency evaluation. METHODS Thirteen acute stroke patients underwent p...
متن کاملEvaluation of relation of hyperlipidemia and polycythemia with incidence of cerebral stroke
Cerebral stroke is a leading cause of serious disability and is the third leading cause of death in most countries and its prevention is a key to reduction of morbidity, mortality, and disability. This study investigated the relationship between hyperlipidemia (cholesterol and triglyceride), polycythemia, and incidence of cerebral stroke. Data was obtained from 70 participants that hospitalized...
متن کاملUltrasound microbubble destruction imaging in acute middle cerebral artery stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral perfusion imaging in acute stroke assists in determining the subtype and the severity of ischemia. Recent studies in perfusion models and in healthy volunteers have shown that ultrasound perfusion imaging based on microbubble destruction can be used to assess tissue perfusion. We applied ultrasound microbubble destruction imaging (MDI) to identify perfusion defic...
متن کاملHemodynamic assessment of acute stroke using dynamic single-slice computed tomographic perfusion imaging.
BACKGROUND Stroke management would benefit from a broadly available imaging tool that detects perfusion deficits in patients with acute stroke. OBJECTIVE To determine the role of dynamic, single-slice computed tomographic (CT) perfusion imaging (CTP) in the assessment of acute middle cerebral artery stroke. DESIGN AND PATIENTS Imaging with CTP and CT within the first 6 hours of symptom onse...

Background: Ultrasound (US) has been used in neuroprotection after cerebral ischemia, however the mechanism of action remains unclearly. We have previously shown the protective effect of ultrasound on infarction volume and brain edema in ischemic brain injured at normothermic condition. Ultrasound may also amplify the effect of fibrinolytic medications in thrombolysis process .We have also show...
