Objective: Currently, treating ischemic stroke by intravenous thrombolytic therapy has acceptable results in patients with stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the three months prognosis of patients treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA).Methods: This cross-sectional prospective study was conducted on 30 patients with cerebral ischemic stroke with the National Insti...

introduction: elevated levels of crp are present among patients at risk for further first-ever myocardial infarction and stroke. it has been shown that after ischemic stroke, increased levels of crp are associated with unfavorable outcomes. methods: from 120 patients admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of stroke crp, d-dimer and ferritin level was measured and the ...

Ischemic stroke is the main cause of long-term disability and death worldwide. Studies have pointed out that antidepressants not only can be used to treat depression, but also promote nerve regeneration, plasticity, recovery function after stroke. Some evidences indicated beneficial effects on ischemic At same time, there are risks in treatment process. The mechanisms complicated rarely reporte...

Background: Asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation infarct (AHTI) is known as a complication of ischemic attack and maybe occurs in the entire stroke. However, the role of AHTI in the result of the treatment is still not clear, because it is based on the definition of an asymptomatic and not identifiable. The aim of this study was assessment and evaluation frequency of AHTI in acute ischemic s...

Objective(s): To investigate the effect of miR-103 on the angiogenesis of ischemic stroke rats via targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at the molecular level. Materials and Methods: Rat models had received the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or sham operation before grouping, and cell models of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) were performed. FITC-dextran, matrigel, and ...

OBJECTIVES Previous prospective studies on ischemic stroke patients have shown conflicting results concerning the association between cholesterol level and patient outcome. We aimed to investigate the relation between cholesterol level and prior ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that acute ischemic stroke patients with increased cholesterol on admission more frequently had experienced prior isch...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recovery of patients within the first 6 months after stroke is well documented, but there has been little research on long-term recovery. The aim of this study was to analyze functional and motor recovery between admission to rehabilitation centres and 5 years after stroke. METHODS This follow-up of the Collaborative Evaluation of Rehabilitation in Stroke Across Europe ...
