Exendin-4 protected against critical limb ischemia in obese mice.
(e-Century Publishing, 2015-03-15)This study tested the hypothesis that exendin-4 protects against critical limb ischemia (CLI) in obese mice undergoing hypoxic stress (H). B6 mice were categorized into aged-matched control (C)-H (group 1-A), obesity ... -
Intra-carotid arterial administration of autologous peripheral blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells improves acute ischemic stroke neurological outcomes in rats.
(Elsevier, 2015-12-15)We tested the hypothesis that transfusion of autologous peripheral blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells (PBDEPC) via the internal carotid artery could reduce brain-infarct zone (BIZ) and neurological deficit in rats ... -
An osteoporotic fracture mimicking cervical dystonia in idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
(Oxford Journals, 2013-05-14)We report on a case of a 65-year-old (CD) woman who sustained an atraumatic neck fracture. A combination of Parkinson's disease with motor fluctuations, chronic cervical dystonia and osteoporosis provided the basis for ... -
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with bilateral papilledema and vision loss in a 3-year-old child.
(Elsevier, 2008-04)We describe bilateral papilledema and vision loss in a 3-year-old child with obstructive sleep apnea. Although lumbar puncture initially disclosed a normal opening pressure, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure monitoring ... -
Time Factor and Disc Herniation Size: Are They Really Predictive for Outcome of Urinary Dysfunction in Patients With Cauda Equina Syndrome?
(Oxford Academic, 2018-02-06)Timing of surgery and the importance of the size of disc prolapse in cauda equina syndrome (CES) remain controversial. -
Erythropoietin improves long-term neurological outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients: a randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
(BioMed Central, 2015-02-25)Mortality and disability following ischemic stroke (IS) remains unacceptably high with respect to the conventional therapies. This study tested the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on long-term neurological outcome in patients ... -
Administered circulating microparticles derived from lung cancer patients markedly improved angiogenesis, blood flow and ischemic recovery in rat critical limb ischemia.
(BioMed Central, 2015-02-15)We hypothesized that lung cancer patient's circulating microparticles (Lc-MPs) could promote angiogenesis, blood flow in ischemic zone and ischemic recovery in rat critical limb ischemia (CLI).
