Clinical potential of pre-reperfusion hypothermia in ischemic injury.
Authors: Han Y, Rajah GB, Hussain M, Geng X Abstract The damage caused by ischemic stroke is mostly refractory to medical therapies and amounts to a substantial degree of mortality and morbidity in the world. The core tenet of treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is to save 'reversible' ischemic tissue (ischemic penumbra) as quickly as possible within a limited therapeutic time window. The neuroprotective effect of hypothermia has been proven previously in a large number of animal experiments and clinical trials. Some of these animal and human studies have shown that pre-reperfusion hypothermia can reduce myoc...

Risk factor profile in patients with stroke at a young age.
Conclusions Angiopathy is the most common risk factor for stroke at a young age. More than half of the patients with stroke at a young age have at least two independent risk factors for stroke. In the first two decades of life, the most frequent risk factors for stroke are heart diseases; arterial diseases play a dominant role in the consecutive three decades.

A mini review: garlic extract and vascular diseases.
Authors: Zhu Y, Anand R, Geng X, Ding Y Abstract Vascular diseases refer to medical conditions that narrow blood vessels. Narrowed cardiac or cerebral arteries can lead to myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke. Risk factors including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes may induce either cardiovascular or cerebral complications. Based on current research, garlic favorably affects atherosclerosis, hypertension and diabetes, and helps decrease the risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Garlic has been utilized for hundreds of years as a natural health remedy. New research is emerging regarding i...

Neuroprotective effect of epidermal growth factor plus growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 resembles hypothermia in experimental stroke.
DISCUSSION: With hypothermia being a good standard neuroprotectant reference, these results provide additional proof of principle for EGF and GHRP-6 co-administration as a potentially neuroprotective stroke therapy. PMID: 27665924 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
