A rare cause of perioperative stroke
Sapna Erat Sreedharan, P Gayatri, PN SylajaAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2013 16(1):103-105Perioperative stroke can occur following 0.2-0.3% of general surgical and orthopedic procedures. We are reporting a patient who developed multiple strokes in the immediate postoperative period following total knee replacement, where etiological workup revealed multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae (PAVF). The significance of PAVF with paradoxical embolism in perioperative settings has rarely been reported in the literature.

Structural kinetics of the myosin power stroke Biochemistry
We have used transient kinetics, nanosecond time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and kinetics simulations to resolve a structural transition in the Dictyostelium myosin II relay helix during the actin-activated power stroke. The relay helix plays a critical role in force generation in myosin, coupling biochemical changes in the ATPase...

Outcomes of neuropsychological interventions of stroke
Xiao-Di Xu, Hong-Yan Ren, Ravi Prakash, Vijayadas , Rajesh KumarAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2013 16(3):319-328The reported prevalence of cognitive deficits within the first month of stroke ranges widely from 10% to 82%, depending primarily on the criteria used to define cognitive impairment and on the selected patient population. These cognitive defects progress toward impairment over a course of time if left untreated. Among the most common cognitive deficits are the attentional, the visuoperceptual, the memory and executive function deficits. As these impairments are being increasingly recognized ...
