• Abstract

  Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide resulting in an enormous social and economic burden in developed as well as in developing countries. Ischemic stroke accounts for up to 80% of the cases. In the acute phase, in the ischemic brain there is typically a central area ("core") characterized by very low perfusion that undergoes necrotic cell death. The core is surround…

  Neuroprotective effects of neuromodulation in acute stroke, AP.R SPRINT

• Abstract

  Upper limb paresis is the most common type of post-stroke neurological impairment and a major cause of functional disability. Repetitive peripheral electrical stimulation (RPES) is a novel strategy to improve upper limb motor performance in the post-stroke chronic phase but its effects in the subacute phase are still poorly understood. Processes of plasticity and responses to neuromodulat…

  Comparison between mechanisms underlying effects of repetitive peripheral nerve stimulation on upper limb motor performance in the subacute and chronic phases after stroke, AP.R

• Abstract

  Vascular disease is the leading cause of death in Brazil. Myocardial infarction is caused by coronary atherosclerosis in almost 100% of the cases whereas ischemic stroke (IS) is caused by atherosclerosis in cervical (internal carotid and vertebral arteries) or intracranial arteries only in up to 20-40% of the patients. Patients with ischemic stroke affecting the cervical portion of the in…

• Abstract

  Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, resulting in a huge social and economic burden in developed and developing countries. Despite significant progress in reperfusion methods in acute ischemic stroke (thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy), there is still a great need to improve clinical outcomes. A study performed with the functional magnetic resonanc…
