Journal ArticleDOI
Hemorrhagic Transformation of Ischemic Brain Tissue Asymptomatic or Symptomatic
Christian Berger,Marco Fiorelli,Thorsten Steiner,Wolf-Rüdiger Schäbitz,Luigi Bozzao,Erich Bluhmki,Werner Hacke,Rüdiger von Kummer +7 more
TL;DR: Only parenchymal hematoma type 2 independently causes clinical deterioration and impairs prognosis, and has a distinct radiological feature: it is a dense homogeneous hematomas >30% of the ischemic lesion volume with significant space-occupying effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Treatment and Forced Arm Use on Functional Motor Recovery After Small Cortical Ischemia
W.R. Schäbitz,Christian Berger,Rainer Kollmar,M. Seitz,E. Tanay,Marika Kiessling,Stefan Schwab,Clemens Sommer +7 more
TL;DR: Postischemic intravenous BDNF treatment improves functional motor recovery after photothrombotic stroke and induces widespread neuronal remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massive accumulation of N-acylethanolamines after stroke. Cell signalling in acute cerebral ischemia?
Christian Berger,Patricia C. Schmid,W.R. Schäbitz,Margit Wolf,Stefan Schwab,Harald H.O. Schmid +5 more
TL;DR: NAE accumulation during acute stroke may be due to increased synthesis as well as decreased degradation, possibly by inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Hypothermia on Excitatory Amino Acids and Metabolism in Stroke Patients: A Microdialysis Study
Christian Berger,Wolf-Rüdiger Schäbitz,Dimitrios Georgiadis,Thorsten Steiner,Alfred Aschoff,Stefan Schwab +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hypothermia decreases glutamate, glycerol, lactate, and pyruvate in the “tissue at risk” area of the infarct but not within theinfarct core, and future treatment strategies for life-threatening stroke should be guided by close neurochemical monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Release of Fatty Acid Amides in a Patient With Hemispheric Stroke A Microdialysis Study
Wolf Rüdiger Schäbitz,Andrea Giuffrida,Christian Berger,Alfred Aschoff,Markus Schwaninger,Stefan Schwab,Daniele Piomelli +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first report demonstrating release of FAEs in vivo during human stroke and may suggest contribution of the FAE signaling system to the pathophysiological events after ischemia.
