Levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines and neurological worsening in acute ischemic stroke.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Cerebral emboli can be identified by the presence of typical microembolic signals (MES) in transcranial Doppler (TCD) spectral curves. The usefulness of this technique was studied by evaluating the prevalence and time course of MES in patients with acute stroke. In addition, we examined the influ...
