Shengui Sansheng San Ameliorates Cerebral Energy Deficiency via Citrate Cycle After Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion In summary, SSS extraction significantly ameliorates cerebral energy metabolism via boosting citrate cycle, which mainly embodies the enhancements of blood glucose concentration, glucose and lactate transportation and glucose utilization, as well as the regulations of relative enzymes activities in citrate cycle. These ameliorations ultimately resulted in numerous ATP yield after stroke, which improved neurological function and infarcted volume. Collectively, it suggests that SSS extraction has exerted advantageous effect in the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Ethics Statement All animal operations were accor...

Stroke in a Young Woman as a Presenting Manifestation of Membranous Nephropathy
Stroke is one of the most severe complications of nephrotic syndrome (NS), only a few cases have been reported in previous literature. Some of those cases are not clear about whether the stroke was purely caused by NS because they also had other risk factors for stroke, such as old age, hypertension. A recent study showed that serum albumin less than 2.8 g/dL is a risk factor for thromboembolic events (venous thromboembolic events). Anticoagulation is suggested for patients with NS with low albumin by KIDIGO guideline 2012. Here, we describe a case in which a young patient presented with stroke as an initial symptom of mem...

Circulating exosomes and their role in stroke.
Abstract Stroke is an acute neurologic disorder which can be life threatening if left untreated or diagnosed lately. Various detecting techniques including neurologic imaging of brain by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging can facilitate diagnosis of stroke. However, according to the recent advances in molecular detection techniques new diagnostic and prognostic has been emerged. Exosomes as an extra cellar particle are one of these markers which can have useful diagnostic, prognostic and even therapeutic impact after stroke. We have previously discussed the role of exosomes in cardiovascular disease...

Dabigatran Reversal with Idarucizumab Preceding Thrombolysis in an Octogenarian Patient with Chronic Kidney Disease and Acute Stroke: a Case Report.
CONCLUSION: Our case showed the effectiveness and safety of giving Idarucizumab followed by thrombolysis in Dabigatran-treated atrial fibrillation with ischemic stroke. Based on this case, the procedure can be performed in an elderly population with chronic kidney disease when administered close to the limit of threshold for thrombolysis.

Brain Imaging Findings and Response to Intravenous Thrombolysis in Posterior Circulation Stroke
ConclusionsEarly ischaemic signs and pre-existing structural signs should be considered during the assessment of patients with PCIS eligible for IVT. Tissue hypoattenuation on initial CT scans correlates with an increased risk of death. Similarly to anterior circulation, atrophy on initial MRI may negatively predict good clinical outcome in posterior circulation.

Low-dose intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in acute ischemic stroke without large vessel occlusion screened by 3T MRI
CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates the efficacy and safety of low-dose rTPA treatment for AIS without LVO within 4.5 hours. Patient selection for rTPA by 3T MRI decreased complications and mortality.PMID:37522667 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202307_33126
