Homocysteine in cerebrovascular disease: An independent risk factor for subcortical vascular encephalopathy [PDF]
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for obstructive large-vessel disease. Here, we studied plasma concentrations of homocysteine and vitamins in patients suffering from subcortical vascular encephalopathy (SVE), a cerebral small-vessel disease leading ...

Resolution of Occlusive Carotid Artery Thrombus Treated with Anticoagulation as Demonstrated on Duplex Ultrasonography. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: While the majority of cerebral ischemic events due to carotid occlusive disease result from atherosclerotic plaque rupture, intraluminal carotid artery thrombus occasionally occurs in patients without preexisting carotid ...

BLUNT CEREBROVASCULAR INJURIES [PDF]
Over the past decade, the recognition and subsequent management of blunt cerebrovascular injuries has undergone a marked evolution. Originally thought to be a rare occurrence, blunt cerebrovascular injuries are now diagnosed in approximately 1% of blunt trauma patients. The recognition of a clinically silent period allows for angiographic screening for

Cerebrovascular Resistance: The Basis of Cerebrovascular Reactivity [PDF]
The cerebral vascular network regulates blood flow distribution by adjusting vessel diameters, and consequently resistance to flow, in response to metabolic demands (neurovascular coupling) and changes in perfusion pressure (autoregulation). Deliberate changes in carbon dioxide (CO2) partial pressure may be used to challenge this regulation and assess ...

Thrombolysis for cerebral ischemia
The care for patients with acute ischemic stroke has been revolutionized by the clinical application of fibrinolysis. Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been proven to improve functional outcomes following acute ischemic ...
