The outcome and infarction size after focal cerebral ischemia is determined in part by delayed neuronal cell death in the borderzone of ischemia. This process is mediated by programmed cell death ...
leading to cerebral ischemia and infarction, and thus to poor outcome and occasionally death. Advances in diagnosis and treatment—principally the use of nimodipine, intensive care management ...
Acute limb ischemia occurs due to a sudden decrease in the blood flow to a limb, resulting in a potential threat to the viability of the extremity. Unfortunately, the threat is not only to the ...
Ischemic stroke results from an obstruction of a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. The brain is an organ extremely sensitive to reduction of oxygen and energy, and brain damage is already ...
Acute limb ischemia (ALI) results from a sudden obstruction in the arterial flow to the extremity due to an embolism or thrombosis. Embolic problems result in a greater degree of ischemia than ...
