  2. 11. Functions of Pericytes in Ischemic Stroke

    Author : Michaela Roth; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke; Pericytes; RGS5; Blood-brain barrier; vascular remodelling; scar formation;

    Abstract : Ischemic stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and its burden is predicted to further increase due to the aging population. The only available treatments, thrombolysis or thrombectomy, can only be applied within a limited time window after stroke onset, and thus are applicable only to a small proportion of stroke patients.

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explore variations in stroke prevention and the effect of prevention on outcome. The studies were based on patients registered in the Swedish Stroke Register between 2001 and 2009 and although used to different extents in each paper, additional information was retrieved through linkage to The National Patient Register, the Cause of Death Register, the Prescribed Drug Register and the Total Population Register.
