A quantitative study of the emotional outcome of people caring for stroke survivors.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Arachidonic acid that is released following cerebral ischemia can be metabolized to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE). 20-HETE is a potent vasoconstrictor that may contribute to ischemic injury. This study examined the effects of blockading the synthesis of 20-HETE with TS-011 on infarct ...
