Extracerebral complications, especially pulmonary and cardiovascular, are frequent in brain-
injured patients and are major outcome determinants. Two major pathways have been …

An enormous amount of experimental and clinical evidence has clearly shown that the
measurement of cardio-specific biomarkers is able to significantly and independently …

Background: Over the past decade, many studies have reported the association of brain
natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) with …

Traumatic acute subdural hematoma (aSDH) is associated with a high mortality rate caused
by post-operative cerebral infarction. Recently, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was …

The purpose of this study was to analyze brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) serum levels of
patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) and their clinical implication. Patients with …

Background Acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a life-threatening
condition, and certain serological indicators may be associated with the prognosis after ICH …

Background: We investigated the association between N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic
Peptide (NT-proBNP) levels upon hospital admission and early hematoma growth (HG) …

Objective To investigate the role of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in predicting long-term
functional outcome and develop a new predictive score of poor functional outcome after …

Background: Plasma biomarkers may be useful to detect healthy individuals at increased
risk for atherosclerotic manifestations, such as carotid artery stenosis. The aim of this …

Background: Biomarkers that predict the outcome of stroke are critical for treatment,
