BACKGROUND Whether unilateral moyamoya disease (MMD), confirmed by steno-occlusive lesion at the terminal portion of internal carotid artery with formation of moyamoya vessels unilaterally and normal or equivocal findings contralaterally, is an early form of definite (bilateral) MMD remains controversial. It is well-known that adult patients with MMD tend to suffer from cerebral hemorrhage, occ...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy can present as lobar intracerebral hemorrhage in an elderly person, presumably due to increased fragility of the vessels affected by amyloid deposition. For this reason, patients presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage and suspected of having cerebral amyloid angiopathy have often been treated nonsurgically. Since 1983 we have evaluated 11 patients with cerebral amy...

The incidence and mortality from stroke in Espoo-Kauniainen, Finland, in 1972-73 were compared to the incidence and mortality from stroke in the same area 1978-80. The factors at the acute stage influencing case fatality were also analyzed. A declining trend in age-adjusted incidence of stroke was observed, though failing to reach statistical significance. The greatest decline was seen in the i...

Background: Cerebral ischemic stroke remains the leading cause of death and disability in many countries. Objectives: to study Role MRI detection cerebral stroke. Materials Methods: All patients referred Department Radio-Diagnosis with clinically suspected a period 2 years. The main source data for are from following teaching hospitals attached Bapuji Educational Association, J.J.M. Medical Col...

Using immunohistochemical staining methods with antibodies to amyloid beta protein and human cystatin C, we examined cerebrovascular amyloid protein in the brains from 46 cases with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (seven with Alzheimer's disease, one with Down's syndrome, 18 with intracranial hemorrhage, 10 with cerebral infarction, and 10 elderly patients without any neurologic disorder). All cere...

From 2 hours to 23 days following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage, the accumulation of indium-111-labeled platelets on the intimal surface of the middle cerebral artery was studied in 23 cats. Subarachnoid hemorrhage was produced by transorbital rupture of the right middle cerebral artery. Of the 23 cats, 17 exhibited right middle cerebral artery/left middle cerebral artery radioactivity r...

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhages and respiratory distress syndrome are two common diseases in preterm infants. Observation-based care, may reduce the rate of these complications through energy saving, diminishing apnea periods and cerebral blood flow changes. Aim: to evaluate the effect of behavior observation-based care training for mothers on intraventricular hemorrhages and ventilati...

Using immunohistochemical staining methods with antibodies to amyloid /3 protein and human cystatin C, we examined cerebrovascular amyloid protein in the brains from 46 cases with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (seven with Alzheimer's disease, one with Down's syndrome, 18 with intracranial hemorrhage, 10 with cerebral infarction, and 10 elderly patients without any neurologic disorder). All cerebr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate cerebral hemodynamics in patients requiring surgical treatment for lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS Twenty patients who underwent surgery to remove a lobar spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage were scanned before and after surgery using perfusion CT mapping. Mean transit time, time to peak of the residue function, c...
