A nanomedicine transports a peptide caspase-3 inhibitor across the blood-brain barrier and provides neuroprotection.

2 Nov 2009 Caspases play an important role as mediators of cell death in acute and chronic neurological disorders. Although peptide inhibitors of caspases provide neuroprotection, they have to be administered intracerebroventricularly because they cannot cross ... Read more...

Mild hypothermia has no long-term impact on postischemic neurogenesis in rats.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Postischemic improvement of functional outcome by therapeutic hypothermia may be related to cerebral regeneration by postischemic neurogenesis. We investigated whether mild peri-ischemic hypothermia leads to a long-term increase in ... Read more...

Clinically presenting acute/subacute ischemic stroke: differential diagnosis of the non-enhanced CT hypodensity by advanced neuroimaging.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: Patients presenting to the emergency room with an acute or subacute onset of focal neurological deficits are evaluated initially by non-contrast computed tomogram (CT) of the brain. This is primarily carried out to differentiate an ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Brain Ischemia'

Definition: Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.
