Fall 2009
Stroke is a leading cause of disability in Canada. Delayed hypothermia improves outcome in patients following cardiac arrest and reduces lesion volume in rodents after transient focal ischemia, but less is known about the effectiveness of delayed hypothermia following permanent focal ischemia. In...

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a devastating stroke caused by the rupture of vasculature in the brain, is responsible for <20% of all strokes, yet accounts for a disproportionately high burden of stroke related death and disability. The formation and degradation of the hematoma (blood clot)...

Fall 2013
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating subtype of stroke but the role of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in ICH is unclear - especially since most studies measure ICP in rodents tethered or under anesthesia or restraint. Thus, ICP was measured using telemetry in untethered, awake...

Investigating the Influence of Therapeutic Hypothermia on Stroke-Induced Intracranial Pressure in a Rat Model of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
DownloadSpring 2016
Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a potentially life threatening complication after intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke (ICH). Animal and clinical studies suggest that mild (~33ºC) therapeutic hypothermia (TH) reduces ICP after ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since TH has...

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...

Fall 2010
There are two types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for about 15% of all strokes and is often severe. Currently no treatments are available to reduce injury, but rehabilitation may improve recovery. Most studies focus on ischemia, putting little...
