Wide therapeutic time window for nimesulide neuroprotection in a model of transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat [PDF]
Results from several studies indicate that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved ischemic brain injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of the selective COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide on cerebral infarction and ...

Standard operating procedures (SOP) in experimental stroke research: SOP for middle cerebral artery occlusion in the mouse [PDF]
Recently, systematic reviews have found quantitative evidence that low study quality may have introduced a bias into preclinical stroke research. Monitoring, auditing, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are already key elements of quality control ...

Complete occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery associated with pneumonia [PDF]
We report a case of a 5-year-old girl who developed left hemiparesis and left facial palsy, 6 days after the initiation of fever and respiratory symptoms due to pneumonia.

Perfluorocarbon Enhanced Glasgow Oxygen Level Dependent (GOLD) magnetic resonance metabolic imaging identifies the penumbra following acute ischemic stroke [PDF]
The ability to identify metabolically active and potentially salvageable ischaemic penumbra is crucial for improving treatment decisions in acute stroke patients.

Mouse Model of Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion [PDF]
Stroke is the most common fatal neurological disease in the United States. The majority of strokes (88%) result from blockage of blood vessels in the brain (ischemic stroke). Since most ischemic strokes (~80%) occur in the territory of middle cerebral artery (MCA), many animal stroke models that have been developed have focused on this artery.

Post-ischaemic treatment with the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor nimesulide reduces blood-brain barrier disruption and leukocyte infiltration following transient focal cerebral ischaemia in rats [PDF]
Several studies suggest that cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 plays a pivotal role in the progression of ischemic brain damage. In the present study, we investigated the effects of selective inhibition of COX-2 with nimesulide (12 mg/kg) and selective inhibition ...

Acacetin protects against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury via the NLRP3 signaling pathway
Acacetin (5,7-dihydroxy-4′-methoxyflavone), a potential neuroprotective agent, has an inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammatory reactions.

While non-contrast head computed tomography is effective in detecting blood, it is not sensitive in diagnosing hyperacute ischemic stroke. One neuroradiologic marker for early thromboembolic occlusion of the distal middle cerebral artery is the middle ...
