A double‐tuned 1H/23Na resonator allows 1H‐guided 23Na‐MRI in ischemic stroke patients in one session
ConclusionsThe use of a double‐tuned 1H/23Na birdcage head coil in a clinical setting ‘allowed sodium intensity measurements’ in a justifiable time also for acute stroke patients, and heterogenous sodium signal intensity in the diffusion weighted imaging lesion might represent differences in tissue damage or repair.

Strategies to improve recovery in acute ischemic stroke patients: Iberoamerican Stroke Group Consensus
Stroke is not only a leading cause of death worldwide but also a main cause of disability. In developing countries, its burden is increasing as a consequence of a higher life expectancy. Whereas stroke mortality has decreased in developed countries, in Latin America, stroke mortality rates continue to rise as well as its socioeconomic dramatic consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to implement stroke care and surveillance programs to better describe the epidemiology of stroke in these countries in order to improve therapeutic strategies. Advances in the understanding of the pathogenic processes of brain ischemia have re...

Functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging in stroke: an evidence‐based clinical review
Stroke is a common condition that may lead to various degrees of neurological deficit and long‐term disability. It has become increasingly recognized that cortical reorganization of neuronal networks plays a significant role in regaining function following a focal brain injury. However, the mechanisms involved in this process are still not fully understood. Resting‐state functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging is a rapidly evolving scanning technique that has the potential to shed light into this neuronal rearrangement. A better understanding of the underlying neurological pathways may contribute to the deve...
