The cerebral circulation and cerebrovascular disease III: Stroke [PDF]
In this paper, our review series on cerebrovascular disease anatomy, physiology, and pathology ends with a thorough discussion of the most significant cerebrovascular pathology: stroke. This discussion proceeds through two layers of organization.

The cerebral circulation and cerebrovascular disease II: Pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease [PDF]
In this paper, we review the cerebral circulation and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) with an overview of the major types of CVD pathogenesis. These, as categorized here, are as follows: occlusive injury intrinsic to blood vessels, occlusive injury ...

The cerebral circulation and cerebrovascular disease I: Anatomy [PDF]
In this paper, which is the first in a three-part series that reviews cerebrovascular anatomy, pathogenesis, and stroke, we lay the anatomical foundation for the rest of the series.

Posterior circulation cerebrovascular syndromes: diagnosis and management [PDF]
One in five strokes affects the posterior circulation. Diagnosing posterior circulation stroke can be challenging, as the vascular anatomy can be variable, and because presenting symptoms are often non-specific and fluctuating. Nevertheless, making the correct diagnosis is important, as these strokes have a high chance of recurrence, can be life ...

A STUDY ON REGIONAL CEREBRAL CIRCULATION OF THE PATIENTS WITH CEREBROVASCULAR DIESEASE
脳血管障害例における脳循環異常を多角的に把握することを目的として, gamma scintillation cameraを用いて局所脳血流量,平均通過時間,局所脳血管床容積,脳血管抵抗などの循環変量を同時に,同一局所について測定した.そしてこれらの変量の態度を生理的状態,病的状態にわけて検討した,非病巣部位78ヵ所については平均通過時間と局所脳血流量とは負の相関を認めた ...

Critical closing pressure in cerebrovascular circulation [PDF]
Cerebral critical closing pressure (CCP) has been defined as an arterial pressure threshold below which arterial vessels collapse. Hypothetically this is equal to intracranial pressure (ICP) plus the contribution from the active tone of cerebral arterial smooth muscle.

Cerebrovascular Variants in Posterior Circulation [PDF]
Ever since the identification of hypertension around 150 years ago, researchers have struggled to find its cause(s) with only minor successes.1 Essential, or primary, or idiopathic hypertension is historically defined as a rise in blood pressure (BP) without any known causes, which still accounts for ≈95% of all hypertension.2 Whereas multiple risk ...

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide: gaseous messengers in cerebrovascular circulation [PDF]
This review focuses on two gaseous cellular messenger molecules, CO and H2S, that are involved in cerebrovascular flow regulation. CO is a dilatory mediator in active hyperemia, autoregulation, hypoxic dilation, and counteracting vasoconstriction. It is produced from heme by a constitutively expressed enzyme [heme oxygenase (HO)-2] expressed highly in ...

Time-dependent action of carbon monoxide on the newborn cerebrovascular circulation
Carbon monoxide (CO) causes cerebral arteriolar dilation in newborn pigs by the activation of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels. In adult rat cerebral and skeletal muscle arterioles, CO has been reported to produce constriction caused by the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS).

Computer Modeling of Anterior Circulation Stroke: Proof of Concept in Cerebrovascular Occlusion [PDF]
Current literature emphasizes the role of the Circle of Willis (CoW) in salvaging ischemic brain tissue but not that of leptomeningeal anastomoses (LA). We developed a computational model of the cerebral circulation to (1) evaluate the roles of the CoW and LA in restoring flow to the superficial compartment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory
