Changes in collateral blood flow and neuroprotective efficacy of transient aortic occlusion during acute ischemic stroke
DownloadSpring 2014
Ischemic stroke is the rapid loss of brain function due to occlusion of a cerebral blood vessel. It is a major cause of death and disability in the world; however, the approved thrombolytic treatments are ineffective in many patients and there is a need for better therapies for treating brain...

High Spatial Resolution Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) of Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
DownloadFall 2016
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is the most sensitive imaging technique available to identify ischemic lesions. This magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique exploits (non-invasively and in a short scan time) early changes to water mobility caused by metabolic failure of neurons by tagging...

Immune activation in patients with admission blood pressure above 185/110 mm Hg in acute ischemic stroke
DownloadFall 2021
Background: An admission blood pressure over 185/110 mm Hg is associated with increased risk of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA)-related hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Stroke guidelines recommend blood pressure (BP) above 185/110 mm Hg be lowered before r-tPA treatment. How high...

Spring 2023
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke are at high risk for stroke recurrence. Early anticoagulation may reduce the risk of recurrent events but is usually avoided due to the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). The risk of HT is based on historical data from an older...
