introduction: extreme altitude travel has gained popularity globally for adventurous, scientific, and military endeavors. cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (cvst) at extreme altitude is a rare, covert, and emergent condition requiring immediate intervention. case presentation: a case of cvst masqueraded as high altitude cerebral edema (hace) at 6700 m/22000 ft in karakoram himalayas. atypical ol...

objective: the morphology of anterior cerebral artery (aca) in patients with hydrocephalus was analyzed (hcp), and its importance was discussed in maintaining cerebral perfusion. materials & methods: two groups were created for the study. group 1; patients with hydrocephalus and group 2; as control group without hcp. in both groups, the length of the a2 segment of aca was measured from its orig...

objectives: the high number of cerebral palsy, the severe disability of this disorder, depression in disabilities, and long lasting effects of the child`s disability on the family especially mothers are the common issues. the purpose of this study was investigating the level of depression in mothers with cerebral palsy children and its related factors. methods: this caused comparative study was...

the mechanisms underlying cerebral vasodilatation during hypercapnia are not fully understood. to examine the role of nerves and prostaglandins in the regulation of basal blood flow and in hypercapnia-induced vasodilatation in the cerebral blood vessels of rabbit. cerebral blood flow was measured by laser doppler flow-meter in 18 nzw rabbits anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital.  tetrodetoxin...

introduction: many of study show decrease of quality of life in mothers of children with cerebral palsy due to care activity of their child but the researchers less pay attention to the decrease of mother’s quality of life in relationship with child-related factors like walking ability in children with cerebral palsy, so the aim of this study was tocomparing the quality of life of mothers with ...

background: the mechanisms underlying cerebral hypercapnic vasodilatation are not fully understood.   objective: to investigate the role of nitric oxide (no) and atp-sensitive potassium (k atp ) channels in basal blood flow regulation and hypercapnia-induced vasodilatation in rabbit cerebral blood vessels.   methods: the change in cerebral blood flow was measured by a laser doppler flowmeter in...

background: nitric oxide synthase (nos) activity is increased during hypertension and cerebral ischemia. nos inactivation reduces stroke-induced cerebral injuries, but little is known about its role in blood-brain barrier (bbb) disruption and cerebral edema formation during stroke in acute hypertension. here, we investigated the role of nos inhibition in progression of edema formation and bbb d...
