Evaluation of vasomotor response in ophthalmic migraine patients [PDF]
Introduction. Hemodynamic changes of the cerebral arteries in ophthalmic migraine may be an important pathophysiological mechanism of the disease. The nitric oxide (NO) synthesis plays a significant role in hemodynamic changes due to vasodilatation ...

Ultrasound and dynamic functional imaging in vascular cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
The vascular contributions to neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation may be assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (US). This review summarises the methodology for these widely available, safe and relatively low cost tools and ...

An Analysis of Resting-State Functional Transcranial Doppler Recordings from Middle Cerebral Arteries [PDF]
Functional transcrannial Doppler (fTCD) is used for monitoring the hemodynamics characteristics of major cerebral arteries. Its resting-state characteristics are known only when considering the maximal velocity corresponding to the highest Doppler shift (

Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography predicts cardiovascular events after TIA
Background Transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients are at high vascular risk. We assessed the value of extracranial (ECD) and transcranial (TCD) Doppler and duplex ultrasonography to predict clinical outcome after TIA.

Changing ethnic disparity in ischemic stroke mortality in US children after the STOP trial. [PDF]
ImportanceA prior report showed higher stroke mortality in US black children compared with white children (1979-1998), a disparity likely due in part to sickle cell disease, which leads to a high risk of childhood ischemic stroke.

A New Methodology of Viewing Extra-Axial Fluid and Cortical Abnormalities in Children with Autism via Transcranial Ultrasonography [PDF]
Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are developmental conditions of uncertain etiology which have now affected more than 1% of the school-age population of children in many developed nations.

Abnormal transcranial Döppler ultrasonography in children with sickle cell disease
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a potentially fatal complication of sickle cell disease in children between 2-16 years and transcranial Döppler has been recommended as a screening method in these cases.
