One hundred seventy-eight patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or small strokes with slight symptoms persisting for more than 24 hours (incomplete recovery = IR) (TIA-IR) from both the carotid and the vertebrobasilar systems were treated with anticoagulants. Ten patients stopped the treatment because of severe side effects. Only one patient had a lethal cerebral infarction when the t...

BACKGROUND Because genotype CG/GG of Furin rs2071410 can increase susceptibility to hypertension, this study investigated whether Furin rs2071410 is correlated with transient ischemic attack (TIA) susceptibility and prognosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were evaluated to assess the association of rs2071410 with TIA risk, and logistic ...

TIAR and TIA-1 are two closely related RNA-binding proteins which possess three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) followed by an auxiliary region. These proteins are involved in several mechanisms of RNA metabolism, including alternative hnRNA splicing and regulation of mRNA translation. Here we characterize the subcellular localization of these proteins in somatic cells. We demonstrate that TIAR a...

The prevalence and incidence ratios of cerebrovascular disease, with special reference to transient ischemic attack (TIA), were studied in the towns of Daisen and Ama in western Japan. There have been no previous reports on this subject in Japan. The prevalence ratios of TIA were estimated to be 4.4 in Daisen and 2.0 in Ama per 1,000 people over 40 years old. The ratio of carotid arterial syste...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the reactivity with TIA-1 and TIA-2, two monoclonal antibodies that recognise, respectively, granular structures in T lymphocytes and the T cell receptor chain in cells from a variety of T cell disorders. METHODS Cytoplasmic staining with TIA-1 and TIA-2 was carried out by the immunoalkaline phosphatase anti-alkaline phosphatase technique in 67 cases with a T cell dis...

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) have been widely used in the prediction of ischemic stroke; however, the differences of the 2 methods in detection the artery lesion differences between transient ischemic attack (TIA) and infarction patients have been long neglected. We performed the present study to investigate the differences between vessel ...

OBJECTIVE We wanted to differentiate between transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke using fractional anisotropy and three-dimensional (3D) fiber tractography. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical data, conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were obtained for 45 TIA patients and 33 minor stroke patients. The fr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Little research has been done on patients' behavior after transient ischemic attack (TIA). Recent data on the high early risk of stroke after TIA mean that emergency action after TIA is essential for effective secondary prevention. We therefore studied patients' behavior immediately after TIA according to their perceptions, clinical characteristics, and predicted stroke r...

On the basis of a review of the literature on anticoagulant, antiplatelet, and surgical treatment, supplemented by our personal experience, we have developed guidelines for the management of patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA). 1. The majority of patients with vertebral-basilar TIA are treated medically. 2. If a skilled surgeon and an experienced angiographer are available, patients ...

In this research a new design of the transimpedance amplifier (TIA) with current mirror was employed by technique (65nm). The TIA consists common gate transistor (CG TIA) and source as an input stage local active feedback second to increase gain. order verify performance proposed TIA, circuit simulation carried out in LT spice program using coefficients (65nm CMOS). results indicate that interf...
