Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of acquired blindness, and it is the most common ischemic disorder of the retina. Available treatments are not very effective. Efforts to inhibit diabetic retinopathy have focused ...

Background. Ischemia-reperfusion injury is an unavoidable aspect of transplantation, as well as an important cause of acute kidney injury in clinical practice. Pre- and post-ischemic conditioning are strategies that may ...

Retinal ischemia is a condition associated with several degenerative diseases leading to visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Currently, there is no highly effective therapy for ischemic retinopathies. This study was ...

The reduction of infarct size produced by brief ischemic episodes prior to a sustained occlusion of a coronary artery, called ischemic preconditioning, is a well known phenomenon that occurs in several species, but its ...

The aim of this study was to elucidate whether post-ischemic enriched environment (EE) housing protects the retina from ischemic damage in adult rats, and the involvement of glutamate in retinal protection induced by EE ...

Holter recordings are widely used to detect cardiac events that occur transiently, such as ischemic events. Much effort has been made to detect early ischemia, thus preventing myocardial infarction. However, after detection, ...
