Cerebrovascular Complications of Anemia
AbstractPurpose of the ReviewAnemia has been called the fifth cardiovascular risk factor. It is one of the most prevalent pathologies worldwide. In this article, we aimed to perform a narrative review of the main cerebrovascular complications of anemia and its influence on stroke prognosis.Recent FindingsBoth hypoproliferative anemia (thalassemia, iron deficiency anemia, etc.) and hyperproliferative anemia (sickle cell disease, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, hereditary spherocytosis, etc.) are associated to cerebrovascular disease ranging from transient ischemic attack to ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke with b...

Iron nanoparticle contrast enhanced microwave imaging for emergent stroke: A pilot study
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Joseph S. Hudson, Timothy K. Chung, Benjamin S. Prout, Yasunori Nagahama, Madhavan L. Raghavan, David M. HasanAbstractEmergent stroke is mostly evaluated using hospital based imaging. Quick imaging allows for rapid administration of IV thrombolysis and outcome improvement. Microwave imaging (MI) is an emerging portable imaging modality. Iron oxide nanoparticles are known to interact with microwave frequency electromagnetic radiation. In this manuscript, we provide proof of concept for a novel iron oxide nanoparticle enhance...
