Post-stroke depression: can we predict its development from the acute stroke phase?

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: To identify possible predictive factors for post-stroke depression (PSD) in the acute phase of stroke. METHODS: The study design was prospective, observational cohort study of patients with acute cerebral infarction (CI). Neurological ... Read more...

Dominant posterior-variant alien hand syndrome after acute left parietal infarction.

10 Jun 2009 Alien hand syndrome (AHS) is a complex clinical disorder in which patients develop a sense of estrangement from, and loss of volitional control of, an affected limb and non-purposeful complex motor actions of the same limb. Several forms of AHS ... Read more...

High serum levels of leptin are associated with post-stroke depression.

7 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: Depression is a frequent mood disorder that affects around 33% of stroke patients and has been associated with both poorer outcome and increased mortality. Our aim was to test the possible association between inflammatory and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Cerebral Infarction'

Definition: The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
