Background and Purpose Significant delays often occur during the treatment of patients with acute stroke. Some of those delays occur in the hospital. We attempted to shorten inhospital treatment intervals by creating a rapid-response system, similar to that available for cardiac arrest, that would allow the stroke team to be available within a few minutes to care for stroke victims. Methods We ...

Since the anthropometric and biomechanical parameters role is effective in improving the quality of sports skills, researchers and sports scientists are interesting to identify and communicate between these factors. The purpose of this study was making relationship between some of anthropometrical and biomechanical parameter of girl swimmers in swimming breast strokes. Twenty girl Swimmers (mea...

background: the role of uric acid as a risk factor for vascular disease and acute stroke is controversial and there is little information about it. in this study, we determined serum uric acid levels in patients with acute stroke and assessed its relationship with cerebrovascular risk factors. methods: in this cross sectional study, we assessed patients with acute stroke who were admitted in fi...

The emotional impact of surviving a stroke has not received the same attention as physical aspects. This is particularly true regarding how stroke survivors cope during inpatient rehabilitation. This study examined the coping strategies used by stroke survivors undergoing inpatient rehabilitation and the relationships between demographic or clinical variables and coping behaviors.

Ischaemic stroke can be caused by a number of monogenic disorders, and in such cases stroke is frequently part of a multisystem disorder. Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL), due to mutations in the NOTCH: 3 gene, is increasingly appreciated as a cause of familial subcortical stroke. The genetics and phenotypes of monogenic stroke...

stroke is the leading cause of death and disability in the world after the cancer and cardiovascular diseases. genetic factors have main significance to got stroke. renin-angiotensin system contains candidate genes and polymorphisms for causing stroke. there are reported associations between stroke and angiotensin ii type-1 receptor g. 1166a > c polymorphism (rs5186). therefore in this study th...

numerous etiologies are responsible for cases of stroke in young adults. this study reviews the causes of two types of stroke (ischemic and intracerebral hemorrhage) in young adults aged 15 to 40years, admitted to our center (a tertiary care center) from 1997 to 2002. the purpose of this study is to determine the relative frequency of causes of stroke in young adults and compare this with publi...
