Microvascular ischemic disease describes conditions that affect the small blood vessels in the brain. These conditions include stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, and dementia. Age, high blood pressure, and ...

Given the size of the stroke depicted in Figure 1 (greater than one third of the hemisphere), thrombolytic therapy would be contraindicated for this patient. Indications of a hemorrhagic stroke ...

Partial recovery after ischemic stroke is possible, but the mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear. Researchers identified a whole new pathway promoting brain repair. They discovered ...

AC, allyl chloride; AQP-4, aquaporin-4; BBB, blood-brain barrier; BC, baicalin; GD, gardenoside; GLU, glucose; I/R, cerebral ischemia reperfusion; LA, lactic acid ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how the protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT1 ameliorates cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury by suppressing RIPK1-mediated ...

Brain injuries are a leading cause of death and long-term disability in infants. Among the most common is neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), which affects one to three in 1,000 live ...

Researchers identify the role of cell receptor CD300a in efferocytosis, a process by which dead cells are eliminated from the body. Mice deficient in CD300a exhibited an increase in efferocytosis in ...

Cerebral palsy is a condition usually caused by brain damage before or during birth, resulting in impaired posture and movement. Early symptoms are typically subtle, which may delay diagnosis until ...

The validated 6-variable IsCHEMiA score accurately identifies patients at high risk for developing epilepsy following an acute ischemic stroke.
