Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery'NECROSIS occurring in the MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY distribution system which brings blood to the entire lateral aspects of each CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE. Clinical signs include impaired cognition; APHASIA; AGRAPHIA; weak and numbness in the face and arms, contralaterally or bilaterally depending on the infarction. Common names: Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery; MCA Infarction; Middle Cerebral Artery Circulation Infarction; Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke; Stroke, Middle Cerebral Artery; Cerebral Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery; Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction; Left Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction |

Edema formation in the hyperacute phase of ischemic stroke. Laboratory investigation.
30 Oct 2009 
OBJECT: Brain edema formation is a serious complication of ischemic stroke and can lead to mechanical compression of adjacent brain structures, cerebral herniation, and death. Furthermore, the space-occupying effect of edema impairs regional ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Investigators in experimental and clinical studies have used the intrathecal route to deliver drugs to prevent or treat vasospasm. However, a clot near an artery or arteries after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may hamper distribution and ... Read more...
Disruption of the axon initial segment cytoskeleton is a new mechanism for neuronal injury.
19 Oct 2009 Many factors contribute to nervous system dysfunction and failure to regenerate after injury or disease. Here, we describe a previously unrecognized mechanism for nervous system injury. We show that neuronal injury causes rapid, irreversible, and ... Read more...
