Microbial risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: potential therapeutic options [PDF]
Infection and inflammation may have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This hypothesis is supported by an increasing number of reports on the interaction between chronic infection, inflammation, and atherogenesis.

Isolated transient vertigo: posterior circulation ischemia or benign origin?
Background Isolated transient vertigo can be the only symptom of posterior circulation ischemia. Thus, it is important to differentiate isolated vertigo of a cerebrovascular origin from that of more benign origins, as patients with cerebral ischemia have

The translational potential of experimental pharmacology for cerebrovascular disorders
The efficacy of reperfusion therapy to restore cerebral blood supply in patients with ischaemic cerebrovascular disorders is well recognized. Medications with proven cerebrovascular activity, such as oxymethylethylpyridine succinate (Mexidol), nicotinoyl-

Quantitative Analysis of Brain CT Perfusion in Healthy Beagle Dogs: A Pilot Study
Brain computed tomography (CT) perfusion is a technique that allows for the fast evaluation of cerebral hemodynamics. However, quantitative studies of brain CT perfusion in veterinary medicine are lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the

Transient cerebral hypoperfusion and hypertensive events during atrial fibrillation: a plausible mechanism for cognitive impairment [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of dementia and cognitive decline, independent of strokes. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this association, but altered cerebral blood flow dynamics during AF has been poorly investigated: in particular, it is unknown how AF influences hemodynamic parameters of the distal ...

Cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of acute mountain sickness upon acute high-altitude exposure at 3,700 m in young Chinese men. [PDF]
PURPOSE: We aimed at identifying the cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of acute mountain sickness (AMS). METHODS: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography examinations were performed between 18 and 24 h after arrival at 3,700 m via plane from 500 m (n ...

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 ...

Higher ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation relates to increased cerebral hypoperfusions and hypertensive events [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with cognitive impairment/dementia, independently of clinical cerebrovascular events (stroke/TIA). One of the plausible mechanisms is the occurrence of AF-induced transient critical hemodynamic events; however, it is presently unknown, if ventricular response rate during AF may impact on cerebral hemodynamics.
