Sensors, Vol. 21, Pages 8507: A Review on Computer Aided Diagnosis of Acute Brain Stroke
o U. Rajendra Acharya Amongst the most common causes of death globally, stroke is one of top three affecting over 100 million people worldwide annually. There are two classes of stroke, namely ischemic stroke (due to impairment of blood supply, accounting for ~70% of all strokes) and hemorrhagic stroke (due to bleeding), both of which can result, if untreated, in permanently damaged brain tissue. The discovery that the affected brain tissue (i.e., ‘ischemic penumbra’) can be salvaged from permanent damage and the bourgeoning growth in computer aided diagnosis has led to major advances in s...

Sensors, Vol. 19, Pages 3482: 3D Simulations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Detection Using Broadband Microwave Technology
Persson Early, preferably prehospital, detection of intracranial bleeding after trauma or stroke would dramatically improve the acute care of these large patient groups. In this paper, we use simulated microwave transmission data to investigate the performance of a machine learning classification algorithm based on subspace distances for the detection of intracranial bleeding. A computational model, consisting of realistic human head models of patients with bleeding, as well as healthy subjects, was inserted in an antenna array model. The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method was then used to generate simulated t...

Structural Biology and Protein Engineering of Thrombolytics
Publication date: Available online 2 July 2019Source: Computational and Structural Biotechnology JournalAuthor(s): Jan Mican, Martin Toul, David Bednar, Jiri DamborskyAbstract:Myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke are the most frequent causes of death or disability worldwide. Due to their ability to dissolve blood clots, the thrombolytics are frequently used for their treatment. Improving the effectiveness of thrombolytics for clinical uses is of great interest. The knowledge of the multiple roles of the endogenous thrombolytics and the fibrinolytic system grows continuously. The effects of thrombolytics on the alterat...

Age isn ’t a factor when it comes to strokes
Having a stroke isn't something that only happens to the elderly. Young people are at risk, too. And it ’s not confined to elderly, overweight smokers who have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. A stroke is when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either by a blood clot or bleeding. The results can be devastating at any age. Without treatment, cells in the brain quickly begin to die. These “brain attacks” can lead to serious disability or death. About 10 percent of the 800,000 strokes…
