Stroke or unsufficient cerebral circulation is a non-traumatic disease due to occlusion or rupture of brain blood circulation characterized by neurological deficits such as loss of motor control, cognitive impairment, oral disorder or sensory changes in one half of the body resulting from changes.

1. / OBJECTIVES The main objective of our study is, using the DTI realized 3T to: 1.1 Main Objective - Highlight changes in brain connectivity induced by the occurrence of transient global amnesia in acute and monitor these remote anomalies (up to 1 year after the initial episode IA). 1.2 Secondary

1.0 Background While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16

Background: The transient global amnesia is a transient, massive and pure memory disorder. Its pathophysiology is poorly known, but the disease process involves the Papez circuitry, and more specifically the medial part of the temporal lobes (hippocampi). It involves 3-8 per 100,000 people per year.

The head injury is a frequent problem of health, which produces high morbid-mortality. Today is the main cause of death and disability between 18 and 40 years. In addition it originates expensive expenses in health care systems. Head injury produces damage by primary mechanisms related to impact,

Early estrogen treatment has been tested in a myriad of animal models of resuscitation ranging from TBI and stroke to spinal cord injury, trauma-related hemorrhage, and sepsis. In these scenarios, studies using old and young, male and female animals found estrogen to be a strikingly effective

The objectives of this protocol are the following: 1. To investigate the efficacy of sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), in treating neurobehavioral sequelae of irritability, depression, frustration, anxiety and other post-concussive symptoms following traumatic brain injury
