A lesion-proof brain? Multidimensional sensorimotor, cognitive, and socio-affective preservation despite extensive damage in a stroke patient
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2017-01)
In this study, we report an unusual case of mutidimensional sensorimotor, cognitive, and socio-affective preservation in an adult with extensive, acquired bilateral brain damage. At age 43, patient CG sustained a cerebral ...
Neuroprotectin D1 upregulates Iduna expression and provides protection in cellular uncompensated oxidative stress and in experimental ischemic stroke
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06)
Ring finger protein 146 (Iduna) facilitates DNA repair and protects against cell death induced by NMDA receptor-mediated glutamate excitotoxicity or by cerebral ischemia. Neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1), a docosahexaenoic acid ...
Progesterone receptors: a key for neuroprotection in experimental stroke
(Endocrine Society, 2012-05)
Progesterone receptors (PR) are expressed throughout the brain. However, their functional significance remains understudied. Here we report a novel role of PR as crucial mediators of neuroprotection using a model of transient ...
Carotid artery stenting protected with an emboli containment system
(Lippincott Williams, 2002-05)
Background and Purpose—Fear of distal embolization and stroke has aroused concern regarding carotid stenting. Devices to protect the cerebral circulation may make carotid stenting safer. Methods—A multidisciplinary study ...
For people with acute stroke, does acupuncture help to improve outcomes?
(Wiley, 2019-08)
For people with acute stroke, acupuncture compared with control has uncertain effects on death or institutional care, on changes in global neurological deficit score, and on motor function at end of follow‐up or treatment ...
Classification of stroke using neural networks in electrical impedance tomography
(IOP Publishing, 2020-11-23)
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging non-invasive medical imaging modality. It is based on feeding electrical currents into the patient, measuring the resulting voltages at the skin, and recovering the ...
Can adding transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to speech and language therapy improve outcomes for adults with aphasia after stroke?
(Wiley, 2019-10)
Clinical Answer:Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may improve the ability of adults with aphasia after stroke to name objects ("naming nouns") but does not appear to improve their functional communication or ...
Assessment of the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) detection efficiency by comparison to the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS)
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-10)
In this study, strokes detected by the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) were compared to the flashes detected by the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) between the years 2012 and 2014. To evaluate the WWLLN detection ...
What are the effects of stem cell transplantation for people with ischemic stroke?
(Wiley, 2019-07)
Low‐certainty evidence suggests that for adults with acute, subacute, or chronic middle cerebral artery territory infarct, receiving stem cell transplantation may have little effect or an unimportant impact on neurologic ...
