background: stroke is one of the most frequent causes of death and disability worldwide and has significant clinical and socioeconomic impact. hyperlipidemia and inflammation play major roles in atherothrombosis and in stroke. this study is conducted to compare the high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels and the lipid profile parameters between stroke patients and control group and de...

background: stroke is a heterogeneous disease with several risk factors. high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) is a marker for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. recent studies have shown that high hscrp level is a risk factor for ischemic stroke. the objective of our study was to investigate the association of high hscrp (> 3 mg/l) levels with ischemic stroke and its subtypes i...

background: stroke is a leading cause of death in developed countries. however, current therapeutic strategies for stroke have been largely unsuccessful. several studies have reported important benefits on reducing the risk of stroke and improving the post‑stroke‑associated functional declines in patients who ate foods rich in micronutrients, including b vitamins. folic acid, vitamin b6, and vi...

objectives: stroke is a neurological syndrome with sudden onset or gradual destruction of brain vessels, which may take 24 hours or more. complications of stroke effect in the variation aspects of the individual. according to de spulveda and chang’s studies, disability reduced the effective adjustment. this study aimed to overview the adjustment of stroke patients based on the main concepts of ...

background and purpose: the relationship between uric acid and stroke recurrence is ambiguous. some studies have explored this relationship in acute ischemic stroke but had different results. we evaluated the association of admission uric acid level with risk of stroke recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke. methods: we studied ischemic stroke patients presenting to our hospital with magne...

background: changes in the lipid profile have been suggested as a risk factor for developing ischemic stroke. their role in intra-cerebral hemorrhage, however, is not clear. the present study was designed to evaluate the lipid profile levels of patients who had experienced an acute stroke during the first 24-hour and to compare these levels in different patients suffering from the stroke, eithe...

stroke is one of the most prevalent and disabling disease in human being. approximately 700000 strokes occur each year in the united states, leaving 500 000 stroke survivors with disability, and economic loss resulting from stroke approaches an estimated $51.2 billion annually 1 . what comes below is stroke management guideline used at massachusetts general hospital (at harvard medical school) ...

background: firoozgar comprehensive stroke center started up as the first organized care unit in the country in 2014; this study was performed to investigate quality indicators such as reduction in mortality, morbidity and hospital stay.   methods: two groups of ischemic stroke patients were compared. the first group had been admitted in general neurology ward (non-stroke unit patients) and the...

 There are many well-established factors that influence the risk of stroke including blood pressure, diabetes, low socioeconomic status and smoking, however, the shared genetic resource in members of a family effect on stroke predisposition. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have demonstrated evidence of a shared genetic source in stroke risk. This review considered the influence of family...
