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...

Common CCR 5 polymorphism in stroke: the CCR 5 delta32 polymorphism differentiates cardioembolism from other aetiologies of ischaemic cerebrovascular diseases.

30 Oct 2009 Inflammation is involved in the development of atherosclerosis. The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) initiates chemotaxis and modulates the inflammation secondary to atherosclerosis and related vascular diseases. The CCR5 Delta32 polymorphism ... Read more...

Metoprolol reduces cerebral tissue oxygen tension after acute hemodilution in rats.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Perioperative beta-blockade and anemia are independent predictors of increased stroke and mortality by undefined mechanisms. This study investigated the effect of beta-blockade on cerebral tissue oxygen delivery in an experimental model ... 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)
