Transcranial Doppler as an Confirmatory Test in Brain Death

open access: yes, 2006
Brain death is defined as the irreversible loss of all brain functions, including the brainstem. The diagnosis of brain death allows organ donation or withdrawal of support. Therefore, the exact criteria for the diagnosis should be determined.

Advanced Asymptomatic Carotid Disease and Cognitive Impairment: An Understated Link?

open access: yesStroke Research and Treatment, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Advanced carotid disease is known to be associated with symptomatic cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), as well as with poststroke cognitive impairment. However, cognitive decline often occurs in patients with advanced carotid stenosis without clinically evident stroke or TIA, so it is also suspected to be an ...

Serum Levels of Platelet Released CD40 Ligand Are Increased in Early Onset Occlusive Carotid Artery Disease

open access: yesDisease Markers, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 133-140, 2006., 2006
Objective: Soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) has been suggested as a key mediator between inflammation and atherosclerosis, and the CD40‐CD40L interaction has a role in atherosclerotic lesion progression. We evaluated if platelet released serum sCD40L and sCD40 levels differ between patients with early onset occlusive carotid artery disease and age‐matched ...

Neurosonological Evaluation of the Acute Stroke Patients

open access: yes, 2011
Stroke is a condition with an high mortality rate and a relevant burden of disability and social costs. Indeed it is the third cause of death and the first cause of disability in western countries. About 80% of strokes is ischemic and due to the occlusion of a large or small cerebral artery.

Microembolic signal detection in acute ischemic stroke: Clinical relevance and impact on treatment individualization—A narrative review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Background Microembolic signals (MES) can be detected using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound in several clinical scenarios, including acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This narrative review aims to provide insights into their role in AIS patient management and outcomes.
