Motor Evoked Potentials in Predicting Recovery from Upper Extremity Paralysis after Acute StrokeCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 265-271 - 2003
Henk T. Hendricks, Jaco W. Pasman, Jacques van Limbeek, Machiel J. Zwarts
Objective: The use of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in predicting
recovery after stroke still appears to be somehow equivocal. We assessed the
prognostic value of MEPs with respect to arm and hand motor recovery in acute
stroke patients. Methods: This cohort study included 43 consecutive acute
stroke patients with complete paralysis of the upper extremity. MEPs of the
abductor digit... hiện toàn bộ
Blood Pressure, Smoking and Oral Contraceptive Control after Cryptogenic Stroke in Young Adults in the PFO-ASA StudyCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 20 Số 1 - Trang 41-45 - 2005
Caroline Arquizan, Emmanuel Touzé, Thierry Moulin, France Woimant, Xavier Ducrocq, Jean‐Louis Mas
Background: Management of vascular risk factors is not optimal in stroke
patients. We assessed the control of hypertension, smoking and stopping of oral
contraceptive in 581 consecutive young cryptogenic ischemic stroke patients
followed in the PFO-ASA study and we identified factors associated with
inadequate management. Methods: At each follow-up visit, blood pressure
(BP), smoking... hiện toàn bộ
Mannheim Intima-Media Thickness ConsensusCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 346-349 - 2004
Jean Dallongeville, Michael G. Hennerici, Stephen Meairs, Hadie Adams, Pierre Amarenco, Ryan T. Demmer, Shah Ebrahim, Marc Fatar, Rodríguez Hernández, Christine Espinola‐Klein, Patrizio Prati, Tatjana Rundek, Andrew J. Taylor, Natan M. Bornstein, László Csiba, Éric Vicaut, Kam-Sang Woo, Faı̈ez Zannad
Intima-media thickness (IMT) is increasingly used in clinical trials as a
surrogate end point for determining the success of interventions that lower risk
factors for atherosclerosis. The necessity for unified criteria to distinguish
early atherosclerotic plaque formation from thickening of IMT and to standardize
IMT measurements is addressed in this consensus statement. Plaque is defined as
a foc... hiện toàn bộ
Evolution of Atherosclerotic Carotid Plaque Morphology: Do Ulcerated Plaques Heal? A Serial Multidetector CT Angiography StudyCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 263-270 - 2011
Marjon J. van Gils, Philip J. Homburg, Sietske Rozie, Thomas T. de Weert, Diederik W.J. Dippel, Aad van der Lugt
Background: Atherosclerotic carotid plaque rupture may lead to
thromboembolization, causing transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke.
Carotid plaque ulceration on angiography is associated with plaque rupture.
Although healing of ruptured plaques has been described in coronary arteries,
little is known about the natural development of plaque ulcerations in carotid
arteries. We therefore... hiện toàn bộ
New Approach to Stroke Subtyping: The A-S-C-O (Phenotypic) Classification of StrokeCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 502-508 - 2009
Pierre Amarenco, Julien Bogousslavsky, L.R. Caplan, Geoffrey A. Donnan, Michael G. Hennerici
We now propose a new approach to stroke subtyping. The concept is to introduce a
complete ‘stroke phenotyping’ classification (i.e. stroke etiology and the
presence of all underlying diseases, divided by grade of severity) as
distinguished from past classifications that subtype strokes by characterizing
only the most likely cause(s) of stroke. In this phenotype-based classification,
every patient ... hiện toàn bộ
Endothelial Dysfunction in Lacunar Stroke: A Systematic ReviewCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 519-526 - 2009
Iris L.H. Knottnerus, Hugo Ten Cate, Jan Lodder, F. Kessels, Robert J. van Oostenbrugge
Background: Endothelial dysfunction is thought to play an important role
in the pathogenesis and progression of cerebral small-vessel disease in lacunar
stroke patients. Methods: We systematically searched the literature
(MEDLINE, EMBASE) for evidence of endothelial activation and dysfunction in
lacunar stroke. The selected papers were assessed by a predefined checklist to
estimate m... hiện toàn bộ
Serum Vitamin D Status as a Predictor of Prognosis in Patients with Acute Ischemic StrokeCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 40 Số 1-2 - Trang 73-80 - 2015
Kwang‐Yeol Park, Pil‐Wook Chung, Yong Bum Kim, Heui‐Soo Moon, Bum-Chun Suh, Yu Sam Won, Jeong‐Min Kim, Young Chul Youn, Ohsang Kwon
Background: Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations have
been shown to predict risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality.
Although the prevalence of 25(OH)D deficiency is high in patients with acute
stroke, the prognostic value of 25(OH)D in stroke has not been clearly
established. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the baseline
serum 25(OH)D lev... hiện toàn bộ
Cerebral White Matter Hyperintensities on MRI: Current Concepts and Therapeutic ImplicationsCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 22 Số 2-3 - Trang 83-90 - 2006
Bruce Ovbiagele, Jeffrey L. Saver
Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are commonly observed MRI
abnormalities in the elderly, which generally reflect covert vascular brain
injury. WMH cumulatively produce substantial neurologic, psychiatric, and
medical morbidity. This review provides an overview of current knowledge on
vascular WMH, and describes some pharmacological agents that may have a role in
mitigating th... hiện toàn bộ
Cardiovascular Risk and Neuroradiological Profiles in Asymptomatic Vertebrobasilar DolichoectasiaCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 23-28 - 2010
Ken Ikeda, Yosikazu Nakamura, Takehisa Hirayama, Tokinori Sekine, Riya Nagata, Osamu Kano, Kiyokazu Kawabe, Tetsuhito Kiyozuka, Masaki Tamura, Yasuo Iwasaki
Background: Clinicoradiological variability of vertebrobasilar
dolichoectasia (VBD) is known. Little is known about cardiovascular disease
(CVD) risk and neuroradiological profiles of asymptomatic VBD. Methods: A
total of 7,345 adults (5,534 men and 1,811 women) underwent physical checkup
(PC) and brain magnetic resonance (MR) studies between 2004 and 2007.
Asymptomatic VBD was diagn... hiện toàn bộ
European Stroke Organization Guidelines for the Management of Intracranial Aneurysms and Subarachnoid HaemorrhageCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 93-112 - 2013
Kennedy R. Lees, Seppo Juvela, Andreas Unterberg, Carla Jung, Michael Forsting, Gabriël J.E. Rinkel
Background: Intracranial aneurysm with and without subarachnoid
haemorrhage (SAH) is a relevant health problem: The overall incidence is about 9
per 100,000 with a wide range, in some countries up to 20 per 100,000. Mortality
rate with conservative treatment within the first months is 50–60%. About one
third of patients left with an untreated aneurysm will die from recurrent
