Immunological mechanisms have come into the focus of current translational stroke
research, and the modulation of neuroinflammatory pathways has been identified as a …

Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in western populations, with up to 40%
of survivors not expected to recover independence from severe disabilities. This equates to …

Background Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with increased risks
of ischemic heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease. We tested whether this is …

Objectives Stroke‐associated pneumonia (SAP) is common and associated with adverse
outcomes. Data on its impact beyond 1 year are scarce. Materials and methods This …

Background: The cause of cerebral small vessel disease is not fully understood, yet it is
important, accounting for about 25% of all strokes. It also increases the risk of having …

Objective Early prediction of outcome in patients with ischemic stroke is important.
Vasopressin is a stress hormone. Its production rate is mirrored in circulating levels of …

Acute ischemic stroke may trigger an inflammatory response that leads to increased levels of
C-reactive protein (CRP). High levels of CRP may be associated with poor outcome …

Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity, with long-term debilitating effects.

Background Classification defined in the Trial of Org10172 in Acute Ischaemic Stroke
(TOAST) is widely used in trials and practice. Previous studies on pathophysiology suggest …

Background: Inflammation contributes both to the pathogenesis of stroke and the response
to brain injury. We aimed to identify proteins reflecting the acute-phase response and …
