A stroke, previously known medically as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is the rapidly developing loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. This can be due to...
A stroke is a cerebrovascular accident that results in inadequate blood flow to part of the brain, starving it of oxygen and causing immediate and irreversible changes to the neurones. If affects 15...
According to the American Brain Tumor Association, just over 24,000 patients will be diagnosed with a primary malignant brain tumour during 2012 in the US alone. Some 80% of primary malignant brain...

Ischemic stroke: an interview with Dr Gregory Ford
A stroke is a sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain which deprives the brain of oxygen and nutrients. Approximately two millions brain cells die each minute during a stroke. This can lead to...
New hope for survivors of stroke and traumatic brain injury
(Springer) A new ground-breaking study about to be published in the Adis journal CNS Drugs provides clinical evidence that, for the first time, chronic neurological dysfunction from stroke or traumati...
Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity Suffers Days After Ischemic Stroke Leading To Serious Complications
While the effects of acute stroke have been widely studied, brain damage during the subacute phase of stroke has been a neglected area of research. Now, a new study by the University of South Florida...
Researchers find far-reaching, microvascular damage in uninjured side of brain after stroke

Devices No Better Than Meds In Recovery From Clot-Caused Strokes
When someone has a stroke, time equals brain. The longer a stroke is left untreated, the more brain tissue is lost. Since the only proven treatment - a clot-busting drug - works in less than half of p...
Stroke: Time Is Still Brain (CME/CE)
(MedPage Today) -- Stroke treatment within 60 minutes, telestroke networks, and expanding eligibility for clot-buster therapy are among the new topics outlined in the new stroke guidelines.
Study finds devices no better than meds in recovery from clot-caused strokes
(Medical Xpress)—When someone has a stroke, time equals brain. The longer a stroke is left untreated, the more brain tissue is lost. Since the only proven treatment—a clot-busting drug—works in...
Researchers find no overall recovery benefit to patients treated with clot-removal devices
When someone has a stroke, time equals brain. The longer a stroke is left untreated, the more brain tissue is lost. Since the only proven treatment - a clot-busting drug - works in less than half of p...

Time course of NT-proBNP levels after acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) can be a biomarker of cardioembolic stroke. However, the best time to measure it after stroke is unknown. We studi...
Management of patients with stroke is it time to expand treatment options?
Approximately 700,000 people in the United States have an ischemic stroke annually. Substantial research has tested therapies for the very early treatment of ischemic stroke but, to date, only intrave...
Silent brain infarctions are frequently found by modern cerebral imaging. Up to 30% of persons without a clinical history of stroke were found to have silent brain infarction in epidemiological studie...
Do acute phase markers explain body temperature and brain temperature after ischemic stroke?
Both brain and body temperature rise after stroke but the cause of each is uncertain. We investigated the relationship between circulating markers of inflammation with brain and body temperature after...
Background/Aims: We evaluated the cerebrospinal fluid/serum albumin ratio (AR) and kinetics of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in blood as markers for blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after acu...
