... inversion recovery Infarct volume Stroke treatment Combined thrombolysis Recanalization Functional outcome Thrombolytic therapy improves functional outcome and reduces mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke through recanalization of occluded arteries [ 1 ]. However, recanalization...

... infarction volume from CT taken after 3 ± 1 days from the onset. Plasma D -dimer levels were measured at the time of admission. Relationships were analyzed between infarction volume and plasma D -dimer levels, cardiovascular risk factors, preadmission medications and admission conditions. We also assessed...

... (NSE), glial fibrillary acidic protein, tau-protein, myelin-basic protein and S100-β are potential candidate biomarkers. Aim: We systematically reviewed the relevant literature to find studies that correlated blood levels of neuronal and glial damage markers with imaging measures of infarct volume...

...A. Angermaier; S. Langner; M. Kirsch; C. Kessler; N. Hosten; A.V. Khaw Background: Final infarct volume after thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke depends on time to, and degree of reperfusion and residual blood flow, which is influenced by leptomeningeal collateralization. We evaluated the role...

... after induction of cerebral ischemia, resulted in a reduction of infarct size. No studies on the effects of nimodipine on infarct size in man have been published. We measured the infarct volumes in the admission and control CT examinations 3 weeks to 3 months later in 153 patients who had participated...
