According to the recent increase of age of cardiac surgical patients, the mortality due to non-cardiac causes has increased. One of the most serious risk factors in the senile patients is perioperative stroke mainly due to cerebral infarction.

Effects of pyruvate administration on infarct volume and neurological deficits following permanent focal cerebral ischemia in rats [PDF]
Recent experimental evidences indicate that pyruvate, the final metabolite of glycolysis, has a remarkable protective effect against different types of brain injury. The purpose of this study was to assess the neuroprotective effect and the neurological outcome after pyruvate administration in a model of ischemic stroke induced by permanent middle ...

Analysis of microbiota in elderly patients with Acute Cerebral Infarction [PDF]
Background and Aims Recent evidence suggest that microbiota is associated with almost all major types of diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. However, its role in Acute Cerebral Infarction remains unexplored.

A Method for Imaging the Ischemic Penumbra with MRI using IVIM [PDF]
This work examines the hypothesis that intravoxel incoherent motion MRI (IVIM) can quantify local cerebral blood flow (qCBF), infarct volume, and define the ischemic penumbra for determination of the perfusion-diffusion mismatch (PWI/DWI) volume in a setting of acute ischemic stroke.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Deep Learning Denoising Using Few In Vivo Data [PDF]
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a noninvasive tool to reveal metabolic information. One challenge of 1H-MRS is the low Signal-Noise Ratio (SNR). To improve the SNR, a typical approach is to perform Signal Averaging (SA) with M repeated samples. The data acquisition time, however, is increased by M times accordingly, and a complete clinical MRS

Correlation between MMP-9 and extracellular cytokine HMGB1 in prediction of human ischemic stroke outcome [PDF]
Ischemic stroke (IS) outcome predictors include clinical features, biochemical parameters and some risk factors. The relations between two main players in the ischemic brain, MMPs and HMGB1, were estimated in the plasma of ischemic stroke patients ...

Computational Image-based Stroke Assessment for Evaluation of Cerebroprotectants with Longitudinal and Multi-site Preclinical MRI [PDF]
While ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide, there has been little success translating putative cerebroprotectants from rodent preclinical trials to human patients. We investigated computational image-based assessment tools for practical improvement of the quality, scalability, and outlook for large scale preclinical screening for ...
