Book Description
Novel and innovative approaches are essential in developing new treatments and improving clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patient. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a series of mechanical interruptions in blood flow of a distal organ, following end organ reperfusion, shown to significantly reduce infarct size through inhibition of oxidation and inflammation. Ischemia/reperfusion is what ultimately leads to the irreversible brain damage and clinical picture seen in stroke patients. There have been reports about the potential of RIC in acute ischemic stroke; however, the focus here is a comprehensive look at the differences in the three types of RIC (remote pre-, per-, and postconditioning). There are some limited uses of preconditioning in acute ischemic stroke due to the unpredictability of the ischemic event; however, it does provide the identification of biomarkers for clinical studies. Remote limb per- and postconditioning offer a more promising treatment during patient care as they can be harnessed during or after the initial ischemic insult. Though further research is needed, it is imperative to discuss the relevance of preclinical data in understanding the methods and mechanisms involved in RIC. This understanding will facilitate translation to a clinically feasible paradigm for use in the hospital setting. As an attractive low-cost, low-risk, and easily-operated therapy, the application of remote ischemic conditioning can be applied to cerebral ischemia in the clinics. When carrying out experimental studies, such detailed mechanisms of action and potential biomarkers should be integrated into clinical trial designs to ensure proper translation and ultimately therapeutic efficacy.
Neuroprotective Therapy for Stroke and Ischemic Disease
Author: Paul A. LapchakPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319453459
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 795
Book Description
A critical and comprehensive look at current state-of-the-art scientific and translational research being conducted internationally, in academia and industry, to address new ways to provide effective treatment to victims of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and other ischemic diseases. Currently stroke can be successfully treated through the administration of a thrombolytic, but the therapeutic window is short and many patients are not able to receive treatment. Only about 30% of patients are "cured" by available treatments. In 5 sections, the proposed volume will explore historical and novel neuroprotection mechanisms and targets, new and combination therapies, as well as clinical trial design for some of the recent bench-side research.

Imaging in Acute Stroke – New Options and State of the Art

Pages : 65
Book Description
One in six suffers a stroke during their lifetime and stroke remains the major cause of new onset disability in adulthood. The worldwide burden of stroke is increasing due to an ageing population, however, globally haft of stroke victims are young. Stroke is the clinical diagnosis of an acute vascular incident and covers a multitude of pathophysiological causes. The clinician needs imaging to make decisions on acute treatment as well as to plan a secondary prevention strategy: a non-contrast CT and a Duplex of the carotids followed by an aspirin as a one size fits all strategy does not always provide sufficient support for those decisions. Presently, fast, generally available, and non-invasive imaging provides new possibilities of establishing a cause of stroke, provide specific information on the brain parenchyma – including possibly salvageable tissue and micro-bleeds – as well as allowing for more specific prognostication in acute stroke. This eBook covers both ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke and includes hot topics such as micro-bleeds, salvageable tissue and spot-sign, clinically challenging issues including movement artefacts in MRI as well as an overview of present options including pragmatic and feasible suggestions for an approach to state of the art acute imaging.

Pages : 156
Book Description
This volume records the international scientific meeting of The Stroke Association celebrating its centenary. It is an account of what stroke care was like in the past, present practice and future trends in treatment. The proceedings demonstrate the contributions from several disciplines, medicine physiotherapy, psychology, occupational therapy and speech therapy. The possibilities of methods of primary prevention, secondary prevention, acute care diagnosis, including new methods of imaging and rehabilitation are described. The dramatic developments described offer great hopes for the future. Stroke accounts for about 10 per cent of all deaths in industrialised countries and is a leading cause of disability in the community. Stroke rates rise sharply with age, and the increasing number of older persons in the population is of concern in terms of projected impact of stroke. All those involved in stroke, clinicians, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, GPs and public health physicians should find this a valuable up-to-date review of knowledge in prevention, treatment and investigation and rehabilitation of stroke.
