متن کاملNeuroimaging for acute ischemic stroke: current challenges
Over the last decade, neuroimaging methods have been refined to improve clinical decisions regarding acute stroke treatment. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are routinely used to rule out intracerebral haemorrhage or other contraindications of thrombolysis, to detect stroke mimics and to estimate the time of stroke onset. With the availability of fast and advanced imaging met...
متن کاملAssociation of serum magnesium levels with risk factors, severity and prognosis in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients
Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide. One of the factors that affect the occurrence of stroke can be attributed to changes in the levels of trace elements. Accumulating evidence has been shown that magnesium, as an important element, is a new predictor of stroke. We aimed to determine the levels of Mg in ischemic stroke patients in comparison with those having th...
