  2. 1. Stroke : patient characteristics, efficacy of a stroke unit and evaluation of hemodilution therapy

    Author : Tage Strand; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute cerebrovascular disease; blood viscosity; cerebral infarction; hemodilution therapy; stroke unit;

    Abstract : Stroke is a major health problem in all developed countries. These studies, performed in a stroke unit at a medical department, were designed to characterize essential clinical features of the different cerebrovascular disorders on admission to hospital, to evaluate the efficacy of admitting unselected stroke patients to a stroke unit and, to evaluate hemodilution as a therapeutical regime in patients with cerebral infarction.

  5. 3. Cerebral oedema after reperfusion therapy in patients with ischaemic stroke : predictors, outcomes and treatment

    Author : Magnus Thorén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Abstract : Introduction: Reperfusion therapy by intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and/or endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) are established treatments in ischaemic stroke.

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is thought that up to 20% of cancers are caused by infectious agents, and an oncogenic role of several viruses has been established for certain tumours. Increasing evidence implies that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is associated with a number of malignancies. READ MORE

    Abstract : Stroke is the third most common cause for mortality in industrialised countries and amongst the major causes of long- time morbidity. While the mortality due to myocardial infarction has been dramatically reduced during the last 10-15 years, mortality due to stroke remains almost the same, despite the fact that the two share similar basic pathogenic mechanisms including atherosclerosis, hypertension and diabetes.
