Hyperthermia worsens outcome after ischemia. While it seems reasonable that hyperthermia would also worsen outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), clinical studies attempting to find a causative relationship between hyperthermia and outcome have been inconclusive. We induced ICH with an...

Investigating the Significance of Post-Stroke Temperature Changes in Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke
DownloadFall 2024
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. There are two broad stroke subtypes: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke occurs when brain tissue is deprived of oxygen and nutrients; hemorrhagic stroke occurs when brain vasculature ruptures and blood extravasates. Despite...

The Effects of a Western Diet on Stroke Severity and Functional Outcome Following Global Ischemia in Rats
DownloadFall 2009
The present thesis investigated the effects of a western diet (WD) on cell death and functional outcome following global ischemia in rats. Experiment 1 assessed the effects of a 60-day WD regimen on temperature, activity and glucose levels in normal rats. Experiment 2 evaluated the influence of a...
