Temperature dependence of cerebral blood flow for isolated regions of the brain during selective cerebral perfusion in pigs.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) are utilized for cerebral protection during aortic surgery. However, no consensus exists regarding optimal ASCP-temperature showing a tendency toward ... Read more...

Blood pressure as a prognostic factor after acute stroke.

29 Sep 2009 Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and is the complication of hypertension that is most directly linked to blood pressure. Hypertension affects nearly 30% of the world's population; therefore, reducing blood pressure is key ... Read more...

Suppression of fibroblast growth factor-2 expression: possible mechanism underlying methylmercury-induced inhibition of the repair of wounded monolayers of cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells.

29 Sep 2009 Vascular toxicity is an important feature of the neuropathy induced by methylmercury. Methylmercury does not cause nonspecific cell damage, but rather retards the repair of wounded monolayers of cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Brain'

Definition: The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.
