Epidemiological analysis of stroke patients with emphasis on access to acute-phase therapies

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 80 (2), 2022
ABSTRACT Background: Stroke is a public health problem. For patients with ischemic stroke, venous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy are effective therapeutic options. However, even after the National Stroke Treatment Guidelines were published in 2012, the number of cases treated is still lower t...

The use of e-ASPECTS in acute stroke care: validation of method performance compared to the performance of specialists

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 78 (12), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: The rapid evaluation of non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (NCCT) brain scans in patients with anterior stroke symptoms saves time and favors optimal and prompt treatment. e-ASPECTS is a tool that automatically calculates the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) v...

Morphometric analysis and pattern of protein and gene expression of apoptosis in focal cerebral ischemia in rats and the neuroprotetive action of hypothermia and ketoprofen

Int. j. morphol; 38 (3), 2020
This study aimed to investigate the morphometric and the pattern of protein and gene expression related to the extrinsic apoptotic pathway in experimental focal cerebral ischemia and the hole of neuroprotection with hypothermia and ketoprofen. For this analysis, 120 rats were randomly divided into 3 grou...

Combinación de bardoxolona y DMF Mejora la isquemia cerebral/reperfusión Lesión en ratas macho
Combination of Bardoxolone and DMF Ameliorates Cerebral Ischemia / Reperfusion Injury in Male Rats

Prensa méd. argent; 106 (3), 2020
Background: Ischemic stroke has been ranked as the second cause of death in patients worldwide. Inflammation which is activated during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is an important mechanism leading to brain injury. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Berberine on cerebral I/R inju...

Mechanical thrombectomy for reperfusion of acute ischemic stroke in a Stroke Unit in Argentina

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 78 (1), 2020
Abstract Stroke is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Reperfusion therapy with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) was first implemented in 1996. More recently, endovascular reperfusion with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) demonstrated a robust beneficial effect, extendin...

Accidente cerebrovascular pediátrico isquémico en niños: reporte de un caso

Rev. méd. Maule; 34 (2), 2019
A stroke is a rare entity in pediatrics patients; that implies a very important clinical challenge. It is produced by the interruption of flow at the vascular level, producing neurological focus. Causes of childhood stroke are varied and different from adults; constituting one of the 10 leading causes of...

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: current concepts and updates

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 77 (11), 2019
ABSTRACT Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a condition with a considerable incidence variation worldwide. In Brazil, the exact epidemiology of aneurysmal SAH is unknown. The most common presenting symptom is headache, usually described as the worst headache ever felt. Head computed tomography, when p...

Angiographic Findings in Refractory Delayed Cerebral Ischemia

Arq. bras. neurocir; 38 (3), 2019
Background Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) follows a refractory course in a subgroup of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), leading to diffuse ischemic injury. The role of angiographic vasospasm (AV) is unknown. Our goal is to study the angiographic alterations and the clinical profil...

Consenso sobre accidente cerebrovascular isquémico agudo

Medicina (B.Aires); 79 (supl.2), 2019
El accidente cerebrovascular es la tercera causa de muerte y la primera de discapacidad en la Argentina. Los eventos isquémicos constituyen el 80% de los casos. Los accidentes vasculares cerebrales requieren la implementación de protocolos sistematizados que permitan reducir los tiempos en la atención...
