Background & Aims: Ischemic postconditioning, conducted by a series of brief occlusion and release of the bilateral common carotid arteries, has neuroprotective properties in permanent or transient models of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion but its delayed neuroprotective effects in the embolic model of stroke, especially in female rat, have not yet been reported and were investigated ...

background: angiotensin ii (ang ii) has an important role on cerebral microcirculation however, its direct roles in terms of ischemic brain edema need to be clarified. this study evaluated the role of central ang ii by using candesartan, as an at1 receptor blocker, in the brain edema formation and blood-brain barrier (bbb) disruption caused by ischemia/reperfusion (i/r) injuries in rat. methods...

background & objectives: ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death and disability in most of the human societies. there is no effective treatment due to complexity of the pathophysiological mechanisms. today, more researches are designed to introduce involving factors and new treatment strategies in brain ischemia. the objective of this study is to introduce an experimental model of t...

In addition to the liver, human hydatidosis has been reported in the lung, brain, abdominal viscera, muscles, and heart chambers. Infarction of the brain has also been documented. Arterial embolism of the lower extremities by hydatid cyst, however, is extremely rare. In the presented case, acute ischemia of the patient's left leg led to gangrene and amputation. Complete workup for localizat...

The Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) outbreak is a deadly disease of concern to the world, includingIndonesia. Reported cases death show high number with more than 3800 deaths reported. This diseasecan induce Cytokine Storm Syndrome (CSS) and interfere Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), causingcoagulopathy hypoxia, which in turn lead cerebral edema brain. research uses casestudy approach, detailed ex...

Background Hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) on a non-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scan is considered an important radiological marker in detecting acute arterial thrombotic occlusion, and it one of the earliest signs ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA). This finding has been observed within 90 min symptom onset. Modern approaches to patients with infarctio...

BACKGROUND Very few population based cohort studies have focused on the long term recurrence of stroke. OBJECTIVE To examine 10 year cumulative recurrence rates for stroke in a Japanese cohort according to pathological type and clinical subtype of brain infarction. METHODS During a 32 year follow up of 1621 subjects >/=40 years of age, 410 developed first ever stroke. These were followed up...

OBJECTIVES We have often observed silent subcortical brain lesions on CT or MRI in first-ever ischemic stroke, but there is little published information on the relationship of these lesions to stroke subtypes. Here, we describe the incidence of MRI-detected silent subcortical brain lesions, including infarctions and white matter lesions, in a series of patients with first-ever ischemic stroke c...
