Early NT-ProBNP (N-Terminal Probrain Natriuretic Peptide) Elevation Predicts Malignant Edema and Death After Reperfusion Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients.

abstract：:To compare the diagnostic yields of transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography in the detection of potential cardiac sources of embolism, 63 patients (mean +/- SD age 63 +/- 15 [range 18-87] years) with transient ischemic attacks or stroke underwent both procedures. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a po...

abstract：:Background and Purpose- Lacunar strokes are subcortical infarcts with small size and high disability rates, largely due to injury of the corticospinal tract in the internal capsule (IC). Current rodent models of lacunar infarcts are created based on stereotactic coordinates. We tested the hypothesis that better unders...
