Cerebral Infarction: Epidemiology, Classification, Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Management
Within minutes after ischemia onset, deprivation of oxygen and glucose leads to rapid ATP depletion, resulting in failure of Na+/K+‐ATPase activity and membrane depolarization. This ionic imbalance promotes uncontrolled synaptic release of glutamate and excessive activation of postsynaptic NMDA and AMPA receptors.

Genetic susceptibility loci for cardiovascular disease and their impact on atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]
Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in part caused by lipid uptake in the vascular wall, but the exact underlying mechanisms leading to acute myocardial infarction and stroke remain poorly understood. Large consortia identified

Recurrent pseudoaneurysm after carotid endarterectomy
Pseudoaneurysms and patch infections are known complications of carotid endarterectomy with patch angioplasty. Although they are rare occurrences, they carry high morbidity and almost uniformly require surgical intervention.

Cerebral perfusion MR imaging using FAIR-HASTE in chronic carotid occlusive disease: comparison with dynamic susceptibility contrast-perfusion MR imaging. [PDF]
To determine the efficacy of flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery using half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (FAIR-HASTE) in detecting cerebral hypoperfusion in chronic carotid occlusive disease, we subjected 12 patients with various degrees

ABSTRACT Background One comprehensive stroke centre (CSC), in North Queensland, Australia, supports almost 700 000 people across 750 000 km2. Access to urgent ischaemic stroke treatment is challenging for remote and regional residents, who are more likely to carry stroke risk factors and have a 17% higher stroke incidence than those in major cities ...

An oral glucose tolerance test in pregnancy and its association with future cardiovascular diseases
Abstract Aims/hypothesis Gestational diabetes and abnormal 100‐g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results in pregnancy are associated with type 2 diabetes, but their relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is less clear. We evaluated the risk of CVD according to the number of abnormal OGTT values during pregnancy.

Carotid endarterectomy for carotid stenosis: audit at a tertiary referral centre [PDF]
Prospective randomised controlled trials performed in North America and Europe have demonstrated that the risk of future stroke or death is substantially reduced by performing carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients who have severe carotid ...
