Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury affects not only the cardiomyocyte compartment but also all other cellular compartments, and the coronary circulation has a central role in it. Acute myocardial infarction most often arises from atherosclerotic plaque rupture/erosion with superimposed thrombosis (type 1 myocardial infarction). However, in the absence of coronary atherosclerosis, coronary v...

INTRODUCTION MRL is a strain of mice with the unusual ability to recover from injuries without forming scar tissue. It was recently reported that the MRL mice can recover with little or no scar formation following a cryogenically induced myocardial infarction of the right ventricle. These findings suggest that scarless recovery from myocardial injury is possible in mammalian ventricles. If appl...

Ischaemic stroke is a sudden neurological disorder caused by localised cerebral ischaemia and persistent infarction. Occlusion of large arteries due to atherothrombosis, embolism (i.e., embolic infarction), no thrombotic occlusion in small, deep lacunar stenosis proximal hypotension leading decreased blood flow arterial supply zones are the most common causes ischemic hemodynamic stroke). It no...

Primary ventricular fibrillation (VF) complicating acute myocardial infarction is associated with occluded infarction-related arteries. The relationship between VF during ischemia and spontaneous coronary reocclusion was analyzed in 48 anesthetized pigs submitted to 48 min of coronary ligation and 6 h of reflow. Reocclusion was associated with ischemic VF (6 of 11 animals with VF but only 6 of ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tubercle Bacilli. In 15-20 % cases of active pulmonary TB, infection spreads to extrapulmonary foci, including the nervous system complications. Ischemic stroke related tuberculosis without meningitis rare. We report 74-year-old female presented with rapid onset confusion, unconsciousness, and left hemiparesis. She had...

Background: It is assumed giving oxygen to patients with acute myocardial infraction may increase the oxygenation of the ischemic tissue; however, the usefulness of oxygen in these patients has become a challenging topic. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the effect of oxygen inhalation on cardiac biomarkers in patients with acute myocardial infarction.    Methods: This randomized cli...
