Among 668 patients with hemispheric infarction, we prospectively included those with chief complaints of acute vestibular symptoms, such as vertigo/dizziness, nausea/vomiting and gait instability, in the "VS" group. We also retrospectively reviewed MRI of all stroke patients, and included cases with ...

Strokeor cerebral infarction(cerebral=brain + infarction=loss of blood supply) describes the condition where the blood supply to part of the brain is lost, and the brain stops functioning. There are numerous reasons for blood supply to decrease. There may be a gradual narrowing of an artery to...
Acute stress with sudden rise in blood pressure and/or cerebral blood flow has been reported to cause thalamic hemorrhages9,10, and chronic stress exposure could heighten the severity of post-stroke secondary neurodegeneration in the thalamus11. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients showed less...
deleterious events in the ischemic core, including an imbalance of membrane homeostasis due to Ca2+-influx, glutamate and cytochrome c release, oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, activation of caspases, and inflammatory responses [15,41]. Ultimately, ischemic stroke ...
Heart disease or a history ofstrokeputs you at higher risk for flu complications due to the stress an infection can put on your circulatory system, such as inflammation, lowering the oxygen level in your blood, or lowering your blood pressure. In fact, a 2018 study found that the risk of...
The final output of the neuroimaging pipeline produced a skull-stripped brain mask with segmented voxels comprising normal appearing white matter, normal appearing grey matter, ventricular and sulcal cerebrospinal fluid, deep and periventricular lacunes, perivascular spaces, cortico-subcortical stroke lesion,...
Other important causes of cerebral palsy include accidents of brain development, genetic disorders, strokedue to abnormal blood vessels orblood clots, or infections of the brain. Even though it is widely believed that the most common cause of cerebral palsy is a lack of oxygen to the brain duri...

Though the prevalence of VBD has been estimated to be in the range of 0.2–4. 4% for the general population and 2.6–17.1% for stroke patients [2], reliable population-based data are lacking. Complications from VBD include transient ischemic at- tack, compression of brainstem or cranial ...
