Journal ArticleDOI

Thresholds of focal cerebral ischemia in awake monkeys

TL;DR: Some cases of acute hemiplegia, with blood flow in the paralysis range, might be improved by surgical revascularization, and studies of local CBF might help identify suitable cases for emergency revascularized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue plasminogen activator reduces neurological damage after cerebral embolism

TL;DR: In vitro studies indicate that tissue plasminogen activator produced substantial lysis of clots at concentrations comparable to those expected in vivo, suggesting that this may be the mechanism of action of this drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial dysfunction and the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthetase in diabetic neuropathy, vascular disease, and foot ulceration.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the endothelium-dependent and endothelial-independent vasodilations are impaired in diabetic patients predisposed to foot ulceration and that neuropathy is the main factor associated with this abnormality.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIV-associated disease of the nervous system: review of nomenclature and proposal for neuropathology-based terminology.

TL;DR: Herbert Budka 1, Clayton A. Wiley 2, Paul Kleihues 3, Juan Artigas 4, Arthur K. Asbury 5, Eun-Sook Cho 6, David R. Cornblath 7, Mauro C. Dal Canto 8, Umberto DeGirolami 9, Dennis Dickson 10, Leon G. Epstein 11, Margaret M. Esiri 12, Felice Giangaspero 13, Georg Gosztonyi 14,
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropathology of Experimental Spinal Cord Ischemia in the Rabbit

TL;DR: The segmental topographic distribution of the lesion and its histologic characteristics are discussed in relation to two important pathophysiological mechanisms of injury in central nervous system ischemia: the microcirculatory network, which in turn governs the adequacy of collateral flow, and the differential susceptibility of cells in nervous tissue.
