The reliable and reproducible creation of an animal model of focal cerebral ischemia is not easily accomplished. Using a transortibal approach, we showed that occlusion of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and the contralateral anterior cerebral artery (ACA) created
BACKGROUND
Pyrexia is often associated with unfavorable stroke outcomes. However, limited information is available on the relationship between the causes of poststroke hyperthermia and stroke prognosis, especially for mild-to-moderate neurogenic pyrexia in acute cerebral infarction.
OBJECTIVE
To
Background: It is reported that acute cerebral infarction with adenomyosis is associated with elevated D-Dimer, elevated CA125, anemia and menstruation. However, previous reports did not notice infection known as fever, which may be a potential risk factor for
Brief and non-lethal cerebral ischemia produces most severe neuronal damage when such ischemia is induced repeatedly at 1-h intervals. We examined whether spontaneous postischemic hyperthermia is an aggravating factor for the cumulative damage following repeated ischemia in the gerbil. We maintained
We investigated the effect of mild whole-body hyperthermia before and after 16 minutes of global cerebral ischemia on metabolic recovery during recirculation in cats using in vivo phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Hyperthermia (temperature 40.6 +/- 0.2 degrees C) was induced
OBJECTIVE
Fever is relatively common and worsens neurologic injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The aim of this study was to display the time course of body temperature, identify predictive factors of fever after SAH, and evaluate its impact on delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and
This study extends our earlier studies in rats by applying our heatstroke model to a new species. Additionally, transgenic mice are used to examine the role of heat shock protein (HSP) 72 in experimental heatstroke. Transgenic mice that were heterozygous for a porcine HSP70i gene ([+]HSP72),
Hyperthermia worsens outcome of stroke in patients and also in animal models. In the present study, we tested the effects of hyperthermia in a focal embolic model of cerebral ischemia in rats. Focal ischemic injury was induced by embolizing a preformed clot into the middle cerebral artery.
Calbindin D-28K (CB), a Ca2+-binding protein, maintains Ca2+ homeostasis and protects neurons against various insults. Hyperthermia can exacerbate brain damage produced by ischemic insults. However, little is reported about the role of CB in the brain under hyperthermic condition during ischemic
Hyperthermia can exacerbate the brain damage produced by ischemia. In the present study, we investigated the effects of hyperthermia before and during ischemia-reperfusion on neuronal damage and glial changes in the gerbil hippocampus following transient cerebral ischemia using cresyl violet
Calpain-mediated spectrin degradation is triggered by cerebral ischemia and, when persistent, is thought to signal irreversible neuronal injury. Hyperthermia superimposed upon cerebral ischemia may exacerbate the injury process. In this study, we compared the extent of spectrin degradation in the
Mediterranean spotted fever is a rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia conorii and transmitted by the brown dog tick. It is considered as a benign disease but 5% to 10% of patients present with a malignant form which is the result of a diffuse vasculitis. We report here the first case of Mediterranean
The metabolic effects of graded whole body hypothermia on complete global cerebral ischemia and recirculation was investigated in the cat. Hypothermia was induced to one of three levels prior to ischemia; T = 26.8 degrees +/- 0.5 degrees C (n = 4), T = 32.1 degrees +/- 0.2 degrees C (n = 5), and T =
The prognostic influence of subfebrility and fever during the first week after an ischaemic cerebral stroke was analysed retrospectively in 110 patients with varying neurological disabilities. The results indicate that fever, and even subfebrility, carry a bad prognosis with respect to residual
OBJECTIVE
Over the past several years, it has been demonstrated that mild intraischemic or immediate postischemic hyperthermia worsens ischemic outcome in models of global and focal ischemia. Periods of hyperthermia are commonly seen in patients after stroke and cardiac arrest. The hypothesis tested
