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...

Prediction of depressive symptoms up to three years post-stroke.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe the long-term course of depressive symptoms up to 3 years post-stroke and to develop a prediction model for depressive symptoms 1 and 3 years post-stroke. DESIGN: Longitudinal follow-up study. PATIENTS: Data were analysed for ... Read more...

Essential role of cytoplasmic cdk5 and Prx2 in multiple ischemic injury models, in vivo.

5 Oct 2009 Recent evidence suggests that abnormal activation of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) is a critical prodeath signal in stroke. However, the mechanism(s) by which cdk5 promotes death is unclear. Complicating the role of cdk5 are the observations that ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Stroke'

Definition: A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Stroke is classified by the type of tissue NECROSIS, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. non-hemorrhagic nature. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp777-810)
