Transcranial Doppler as an Confirmatory Test in Brain Death
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?
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 ...

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 ...

Changes in Cerebral Hemodynamics and Efficacy of Revascularization Procedures in Ischemic Stroke
Introduction We evaluated the possibility of identifying predictors of efficacy of revascularization treatments in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) through mean flow velocity (MFV) changes in middle cerebral arteries (MCAs). Patients and Methods Color‐coded transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCCD) was used to assess vessel status and cerebral ...
