Manage myocardial ischemia Stroke prevention Primary stroke prevention refers to the treatment of individuals with no previous history of stroke. Measures may include use of the following: Platelet antiaggregants Statins Exercise Lifestyle interventions (eg, smoking cessation, alcohol moderation) Se...
Clinical indications for angi- ography were chest pain or a positive non-invasive stress test suggestive of myocardial ischemia. To limit clinical heterogeneity, individuals suffering from acute illnesses other than acute coronary syndrome (ACS), chronic non-cardiac diseases and a history of malignancy...
A comparison restricted to patients treated with tPA potentially could have led to a bias favoring the MSU group because of earlier neurological assessment and possible spontaneous symptom resolution in the natural course of hyper–acute cerebral ischemia. Patients were excluded if they had absolute con...
(days 1-3) and clinical symptoms assessed by disease severity scores, neuroinflammation estimated by CSF IL-6 levels, as well as prognosis evidenced by delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and 6-month adverse outcome was investigated. Finally, combined analysis of early levels for predicting prognosis ...
Mortality codes in SEER are assigned from death certificates, completed by the doctor caring for the patient at the time of demise. Stroke is defined by the American Stroke Association4as central nervous system infarction attributable to ischemia, based on neuropathological, neuroimaging, and/or cl...
To identify stroke from the MEDPAR data, we used the following ICD-9-CM codes in the primary position: 434 (occlusion of cerebral arteries), 435 (transient cerebral ischemia), and 436 (acute, but ill-defined, cerebrovascular disease). We did not use the ICD-9-CM code of 433 (occlusion...
since brain ischemia is less extensive. However, in some MeVO patients, infarcts are seen outside the territory of the occluded vessel (MeVO with discrepant infarcts). This study aims to determine the prevalence and clinical impact of discrepant infarct patterns in acute ischemic stroke due to ...
cau- tion since misclassification of the time of event onset may lead to underestimation of the effect.33 Although we did not take into account possible delays in presentation, we be- lieve our events were of an acute nature since we used Magnetic Resonance Imaging to c...

post-ischemic down-regulation of δ-GABAARs, an excitotoxicity-driven mechanism is corroborated Several cerebral pathophysiologies that are associated with excitotoxicity e.g., ischemia38,40, amyo- trophic lateral sclerosis41 and epilepsy36, lead to down-regulation of KCC2. Mechanisms identified ...
