Stroke is the third leading cause of death and carotid atherosclerosis is the leading cause of embolic stroke. In recent years, the need for a more detailed analysis of atherosclerotic plaques has been stressed. Information beyond the degree of narrowing of the vessel lumen seems to be desirable and there is considerable demand for diagnostic ...
Endogenous neuoprotection is a phenomenon where a brief episode of ischemia renders the brain resistant against a subsequent longer-lasting ischemia event. Experimentally, the author was able to model hypoxic preconditioning in animal model. Increasing knowledge of this endogenous neuroprotectin by ischemic tolerance may help to minimize neuronal ...
Stroke represents a clinical syndrome of rapid onset of focal or sometimes global cerebral deficit with a vascular cause, lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death. Eighty per cent of all strokes are ischaemic, 15 percent are due to intracerebral haemorrhage, and 5 percent to subarachnoid haemorrhage. Correct diagnosis is important because ...
This book focuses on advances in imaging and mapping strategies to study the brain's structure, function and the relationship between both, from the whole brain to the molecular and cellular tissue level in order to improve the understanding of normal and disease processes. Studies of intact living organisms may be at the human, animal, cellular ...
In recent years, a substantial number of imaging studies have addressed the neuronal processes underlying recovery after stroke. Although difficult to achieve, several longitudinal studies assessed both clinical recovery and imaging patterns over time and give important inside into the plasticity of the stroked brain. This tendency is supported by ...
The purpose of this book is to give an overview of the whole topic in human autonomic reflexes on the basis of the trigemino-cardiac reflex (TCR) that is the strongest autonomic reflex that is known in humans. The author provides an overview of the literature, presents his own data on TCR and critically discusses the literature and his own data in ...
