aim: oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. since water-solublefullerene derivatives act as the potent scavenger of oxygen free radicals in biological systems, we aimedto investigate the possible protective effects of fullerol nanoparticles on brain infarction and edema intransient model of focal cerebral ischemia in rat.materials & methods: experiment ...

Massive cerebral infarction is often accompanied by early death, secondary to brain edema and trans-tentorial herniation. Several reports indicate beneficial effects of decompressive craniectomy in this situation, but the efficacy of this procedure is still a matter of debate. A n experimental study in a period of3 years was done on2 3 patients with brain edema due to massive cerebral infa...

Background: Stroke is known to be the third most prominent cause of death in the developing countries and the most common debilitating neurologic disease. This study aimed to investigate the association of platelet count (PC) and mean platelet volume (MPV) index with various stroke types. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on patients over the age of 18 years who presented wit...

background:  intravenous  recombinant  tissue plasminogen  activator  (rt-pa) is an approved  treatment for acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 h of symptoms onset. decompressive craniectomy (dc) has been  shown  as an effective  therapeutic  modality in malignant  middle cerebral  artery (mca) infarction. as rt-pa could result in hemorrhagic  complication during or after any surgery dc may be ass...

background: simultaneous electrocardiographic (ecg) changes are seen in hemorrhagic brain events even in the absence of associated myocardial infarction (mi). this study was designed to assess the role of ecg changes to predict true mi in patients with hemorrhagic brain trauma. methods: data of 153 patients with traumatic brain injury and concomitant ecg changes were recorded. enzyme study was ...

The paper analyzes the IR spectra of blood plasma from healthy donors, patients with brain infarction and coronary heart disease (CHD). It was found that structure main transport protein – albumin in infarction, CHD representatives control group is almost identical. shown absence changes secondary tertiary albumin, increase binding anionic hydrophobic metabolites dyslipidemia compared to due st...
