Neuroprotective effects of argon in an in vivo model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Oxygenation measured 24 hours after acute respiratory distress syndrome onset more accurately stratifies risk, relative to oxygenation at onset, in both children and adults. However, waiting 24 hours is problematic, especially for interventions that are more efficacious early in the disease course. We aimed t...
