  1. 1. Deep Learning-Based Identification of Ischemic Regions in Native Head CT Scans

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Maximilian Hornung; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. Fast diagnosis is of critical importance for stroke treatment. In clinical routine, a non-contrast CT (NCCT) is typically acquired immediately to determine whether the stroke is ischemic or hemorrhagic and plan therapy accordingly. READ MORE

  3. 2. Nox inhibitors : A potential future medicine for ischemia stroke

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsa och lärande

    Author : Charlotte Jackson; [2018]
    Keywords : NOX inhibitors; reactive oxygen species; ROS; ischemia stroke;

    Abstract : This study investigated the neuroprotective effects of novel small molecule NOX inhibitors after induction of an ischemic stroke model on Neuroblastoma cells (NB69). Previous findings show that high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been identified for playing a role in causing inflammation, cellular damage and apoptosis in many cardiovascular diseases.

  4. 3. Nox2/4 inhibition in NB69 during ischemia/reperfusion : Inhibition of ROS-production using M4, M107, and M114

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsa och lärande

    Author : Hampus Johansson; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cerebral stroke has become one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. During an ischemic stroke, oxygen and nutrient deprivation occurs, which combined lead to cell starvation, anoxia, and eventually cell death. READ MORE

  5. 4. ELECTRICAL BIOIMPEDANCE CEREBRAL MONITORING : A Study of Cerebral Impedance Variation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Shiva Mokhberi; [2016]
    Keywords : Electrical Bioimpedance Spectroscopy; Stroke; Hemorrhage; Ischemia; Biomedical Instrumentation; Non-invensive Monitoring;

    Abstract : Stroke is amongst the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Today diagnosis of Stroke is restricted to fixed imaging facilities which do not provide a rapid diagnostic. A portable device which could provide a non invasive assessment of stroke would therefore decrease the time of diagnosis and increase the chance of survival. READ MORE

  6. 5. Stroke-induced stem cells proliferation in normal versus diabetic mice and pharmacological regulation

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Zainab Fadhel; [2015]
    Keywords : Stroke; diabetes; GLP-1; Exendin-4; neurogenesis; stem cell proliferation; animal model; mouse;

    Abstract : Introduction: Stroke is caused from the occlusion of any cerebral artery leading to cerebral ischemia, brain damage and consequent neurological impairments and disability. The primary causes of mortality in western populations is stroke. Diabetes type 2 is a high risk factor for stroke. READ MORE
