Combining Human Umbilical Cord Blood Cells With Erythropoietin Enhances Angiogenesis/Neurogenesis and Behavioral Recovery After Stroke
In conclusion, our results suggest that hUCBC infusion in combination with EPO administration demonstrates therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of stroke-induced injury by promoting neurogenesis and angiogenesis. Further research that delineates the therapeutic mechanism of systemically administered hUCBC and EPO is required. Ethics Statement All experimental procedures involving animals were performed in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals as adopted and promulgated by the U. S. National Institutes of Health and were approved by CHA University Institutional Animal Care & Use Com...

Management of Chronic Hypertension Following Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Acute blood pressure control after a cerebrovascular event is integral in the immediate care of these patients to preserve perfusion to ischemic areas and prevent intracerebral bleeding. The majority of patients with ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) present with preexisting hypertension and therefore require a treatment plan after the acute phase. The presence of chronic hypertension after ICH has often been discussed as a modifiable risk factor for recurrent events. Clinical evidence is relatively lacking for clinicians to understand the extent of blood pressure lowering and the optimal agents to use in t...
