Existing effective treatments for ischemic stroke restore blood supply to the ischemic region
using thrombolysis or mechanical removal of clot. However, it is increasingly recognized that …

Background Tissue oedema affects tissue perfusion and interferes with the monitoring of
tissue oxygenation in patients with severe sepsis. However, the underlying mechanisms …

General anesthesia can affect microcirculatory properties. However, differential effects on
the microcirculation according to the anesthetic technique used during thoracoscopic …
