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
<i>Objective:</i> 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. <i>Methods:</i> This cohort study included 43 consecutive acute stroke patients with complete paralysis of the upper extre...... hiện toàn bộ
Mannheim Intima-Media Thickness ConsensusCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 346-349 - 2004

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 ...... 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
<i>Background:</i> 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 ar...... 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 ...... 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
<b><i>Background:</i></b> 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 whethe...... hiện toàn bộ
Cardiovascular Risk and Neuroradiological Profiles in Asymptomatic Vertebrobasilar DolichoectasiaCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 23-28 - 2010

<i>Background:</i> Clinicoradiological variability of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is known. Little is known about cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and neuroradiological profiles of asymptomatic VBD. <i>Methods:</i> 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 ...... hiện toàn bộ
Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with a History of Myocardial Infarction and StrokeCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 68-76 - 2011

<i>Background:</i> There is a lack of the generic data comparing the influence of different diseases on health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in a representative sample of primary care patients. <i>Methods:</i> Patient data were collected in the DETECT (Diabetes Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation: Targets and Essential Data for Commitment of Treatment) study including ...... hiện toàn bộ
Outcome in Patients with Stroke Associated with Internal Carotid Artery OcclusionCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 108-113 - 2005
Maurizio Paciaroni, Valeria Caso, Michele Venti, Paolo Milia, L. Jaap Kappelle, Giorgio Silvestrelli, Francesco Palmerini, Monica Acciarresi, Michela Sebastianelli, Giancarlo Agnelli
<i>Background:</i> The clinical outcome in patients with stroke associated with internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is poor, although a minority may recover without dependency. The purposes of this study were (1) to assess the predictive factors of adverse outcome in patients with stroke associated with an occlusion of the ICA and (2) to evaluate the rate of spontaneous rec...... hiện toàn bộ
