Carotid plaques increase the risk of stroke and subtypes of cerebral infarction in asymptomatic elderly: the Rotterdam study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Few studies have quantified the relation between carotid plaques and stroke in asymptomatic patients, and limited data exist on the importance of location of plaques or the association with subtypes of cerebral infarction ...

Inhibition of the potassium channel Kv1.3 reduces infarction and inflammation in ischemic stroke. [PDF]
ObjectiveInhibitors of the voltage-gated K+ channel Kv1.3 are currently in development as immunomodulators for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. As Kv1.3 is also expressed on microglia and has been shown to be specifically up-regulated on "M1-like ...

Selenium-Binding Protein 1 Indicates Myocardial Stress and Risk for Adverse Outcome in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]
Selenium-binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) is an intracellular protein that has been detected in the circulation in response to myocardial infarction. Hypoxia and cardiac surgery affect selenoprotein expression and selenium (Se) status.

Etiology of Ischemic cerebral infarction in individual that are under 55 years old in Ardabil Alavis' Hospital from 2004 to 2005 [PDF]
Introduction: Cerebral infarction is told to acute onset of focal Neurologic symptoms that last more than 24 hour and is due to cerebro vascular accident. According to recent "WHO" reports less than 10% of patients with CVA are under 55 years old.

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and symptomatic cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Recently a new automatic device that measures brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity using an oscillometric method has been developed. However, the practical significance of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity measurement remains uncertain.

Generative Model-Based Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation [PDF]
CT perfusion (CTP) has been used to triage ischemic stroke patients in the early stage, because of its speed, availability, and lack of contraindications. Perfusion parameters including cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), mean transit time (MTT) and time of peak (Tmax) could also be computed from CTP data.
