[Carotid atherosclerosis and white matter hypodensities: a controversial relationship]. [PDF]

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2014
INTRODUCTION White matter hypodensities of presumed vascular origin, are recognized as an important cause of morbidity with established clinical and cognitive consequences. Nonetheless, many doubts remain on its physiopathology.

Posterior circulation ischaemic stroke - A retrospective analysis from a General Hospital [PDF]

, 2023
Even though ischemic stroke represents a majority of strokes in general, only a smaller portion origi- nate from posterior circulation. Because of different origin and particular territory involvement, this represents a difficult clinical task.

Impact of cerebral collateral flow on stroke outcomes after carotid stenting

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 10, Issue 11, Page 2065-2073, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Internal carotid artery stenosis is a main contributor to recurrent ischemic stroke. This study aimed to evaluate associations between recurrent stroke and changes in prestenting flow direction in the primary collaterals or both primary and secondary collaterals, and the potential interaction between extra‐ and intracranial arteries.

Cerebrovascular Phenotype in Fabry Disease Patients Assessed by Ultrasound

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 42, Issue 10, Page 2315-2330, October 2023., 2023
Objectives Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X‐linked lysosomal storage disorder with variable phenotypes, including neurological symptoms. These can be influenced by vascular impairment. Extracranial and transcranial vascular sonography is an effective and noninvasive method for measuring arterial structures and blood flow.

External Validation of SAFE Score to Predict Atrial Fibrillation Diagnosis after Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Multicenter Study

Stroke Research and Treatment, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Introduction. The screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) scale (SAFE score) was recently developed to provide a prediction of the diagnosis of AF after an ischemic stroke. It includes 7 items: age ≥ 65 years, bronchopathy, thyroid disease, cortical location of stroke, intracranial large vessel occlusion, NT‐ProBNP ≥250 pg/mL, and left atrial ...

The Influence of Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide on Cerebral Hemodynamics in Nonmigraine Subjects with Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide‐Induced Headaches

BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Background. Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) is regarded as an important molecule in trigeminovascular sensitization (TVS). CGRP‐induced headaches (CGRP‐IH) are evoked by intravascular administration of CGRP in nonmigraine and migraine subjects. CGRP might be associated with vasodilatation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA).

Conducting focus groups in realist evaluation

Evaluation, 2022
Focus groups are valuable tools for evaluators to help stakeholders to clarify programme theories. In 1987, R.K. Merton, often attributed with the birth of focus groups, wrote about how these were ‘being mercilessly misused’.
