background: some studies  in recent  years showed  that carotid  intima-media   thickness  (imt),  indicator  of  the presence  of atherosclerosis,  was higher  in non-alcoholic fatty  liver disease  (nafld)  in comparison  with  normal subjects.  they concluded  that  nafld  patients  may  be resulted  in more cardiovascular events. hence, we aimed to study the association of nafld and ischemi...

Introduction: Some recent studies have shown that citicoline improves clinical symptoms in patients with stroke. Citicoline's mechanism of action in improving the clinical symptoms is not recognized yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cerebrovascular hemodynamic status in patients with ischemic stroke treated with citicoline compared with the control group. <st...

several studies have assessed association between helicobacter pylori infection and thrombotic ischemic stroke. this study was designed to investigate the association between this organism and ischemic strokes. antibody against h. pylori (hp igg) was measured in 81 patients with stroke and 43 subjects without stroke. hp igg titer more than 20u/ml was defined as positive. 67.4% of control subjec...

background: serum troponin elevation, characteristic of ischemic myocardial injury, has been observed in some acute ischemic stroke (ais) patients. its cause and significance are still controversial. the purpose of this study is to find determinants of troponin elevation and its relationship with stroke severity and location. methods: between january 2013 and august 2013, 114 consecutive ais pa...

background: interleukin-6 (il-6) is one of the inflammatory mediators characterized by elevated levels in ischemic stroke (is) patients. the present study set out to assess the role of il-6, as a marker for inflammation, in the severity and prognosis of acute is. methods: in a cross-sectional descriptive study, 45 patients with acute is were selected. patients with their first day of stroke wer...

conclusions our findings indicate that fullerenol nanoparticles decrease the brain infarction through enhancement of the sod activity during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. results occlusion of mca induced considerable infarction and lesion in ischemic hemispheres of control ischemic rats (527 ± 59 mm3) in accompany with a decrease in the glutathione content (45%), and sod activity (29%) ...
