   Abstract : Background: For the detection and treatment of early cerebral vascular disease it is of paramount importance to first understand the normal physiology of the cerebral vasculature, and subsequently, to understand how and when pathology can develop from that. This is especially important as the population above 65 years of age is increasing and aging itself is an established risk factor for the development of cerebral vascular disease. READ MORE

4. 2. Noninvasive assessment of cerebral circulation before, during and after carotid surgery

   Author : Helene Zachrisson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internal carotid artery disease; cerebrovascular hemodynamics; Carotid thrombendarterectomy; Duplex ultrasound; transcranial Doppler; Internal carotid artery disease;

   Abstract : Non-invasive ultrasound investigations were evaluated in patients with carotid artery stenosis in comparison with radiological disease gradations and perioperative blood pressure measurements. The aim was to assess cerebrovascular hemodynamics before, during and after carotid thrombendarterectomy (CEA) in relation to the clinical outcome of the surgical intervention. READ MORE

5. 3. Penumbra oxygen metabolism and acute neuroinflammation in ischemic stroke : MRI and PET imaging of a M2 occlusion model in rat

   Author : Philip Little; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is caused by the sudden occlusion of a major artery of the brain, and results in infarction and severe ischemia within affected brain regions. If ischemic regions are rapidly revascularized, the neurological disability resulting from AIS can be significantly reduced. READ MORE
