Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a debilitating disease process accounting for 5% of strokes. While improvements in care have reduced case-fatality rates, patients are at increas...
The corticospinal system (CS) regulates muscle activation through shifts in muscle-level tonic stretch-reflex thresholds (TSRT). This ability is impaired in stroke and contributes to sensori...
Stroke is the leading neurological cause of death and disability all over the world, with few effective drugs. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is well known for its multifaceted neuroprotective fu...
Therapeutic angiogenesis with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is promising for the clinical treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, the heterogeneous proangiogenic nature of MSC...
Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) produces supraphysiologic shear stress that causes von Willebrand factor (VWF) degradation and a bleeding diathesis. Reduction of revo...
Redo cardiac surgery carries an inherent risk for adverse short-term outcomes and worse long-term survival. Strategies to mitigate these risks have been numerous, including initiation of car...
The Chinese stroke emergency map (SEM) was implemented in 2017 to reduce prehospital and hospital delays for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients suitable for intravenous recombinant tissue ...
The COVID-19 outbreak is currently the major public health concern worldwide. This infection, caused by the novel coronavirus Sars Cov2, primarily affects respiratory system, but there is in...
There are concerns that public anxiety around Covid-19 discourages patients from seeking medical help. The aim of this study was to see how lockdown due to the pandemic affected the number o...
The CAVA trial did not show the anticipated risk reduction for postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) after thrombus removal via additional ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis (U...
A professional 55-year-old female experienced diver, who surfaced after the second dive, had a lucid interval before dropping Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to 3/15. She was admitted to intensive ...
Clinical use of continuous electrocardiogram (cECG) for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) after stroke is unclear. In a Danish nationwide cohort we described post-stroke time trends in outp...
Humanin is a member of a new family of peptides that are encoded by short open reading frames within the mitochondrial genome. It is conserved in animals and is both neuroprotective and cyto...
The association of malnutrition on stroke subtypes has not been well established. We investigated the relationship between malnutrition and functional outcome according to stroke subtypes.Ac...
Elderly cryptogenic ischemic stroke (IS) patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) have a high risk of recurrent IS (RIS) compared to other stroke subtypes. In young ESUS pa...
How does the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) vary with type and age of menopause?Earlier surgical menopause (e.g. <45 years) poses additional increased risk of incident CVD events, c...
Stent retriever technology has evolved, and significantly longer devices have become available for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) of large cerebral vessel occlusions in ischemic stroke. We hyp...
Diffusion-weighted imaging-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (DWI-FLAIR) mismatch is an early sign of acute ischemic stroke. DWI-FLAIR mismatch was reported to be valuable to select patien...
The genetic variants of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) gene have been associated with vascular disease risk. The objective of this work was to explore the associatio...
Optimal tissue oxygenation is essential for its normal function. Suboptimal oxygenation or ischemia contributes to increased mortalities during various pathological conditions such as stroke...
