brain infarction

Hypertension is an important risk factor for brain infarction and hemorrhage.

Any further elevations will lead to brain infarction and brain death.

Micropsia is sometimes seen in individuals with brain infarctions.

Stroke (brain infarction): Blood flow and oxygen are suddenly interrupted to an area of brain tissue, which then dies.

Major depression is a risk factor and also a consequence of silent brain infarction (SBI).

Spontaneous brain infarction (in spontaneously hypertensive rats)

Goumah Died suffering from the complications of a Brain Infarction on the 15th of June, 1953.

This results in widespread reduction in cerebral flow and perfusion, eventually leading to ischemia and brain infarction.

His research interests include antioxidants and aging, and the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease, especially predictive factors in early life and the role of brain infarction.

These include Alzheimers disease, which was first described in 1907, multiple brain infarctions (small strokes in the brain), drug toxity and Huntington's Chorea.

Major causes of morbidity due to raised intracranial pressure are due to global brain infarction as well as decreased respiratory drive due to brain herniation.

Snowdon DA, Greiner LH, Mortimer JA, et al. (1997) Brain infarction and the clinical expression of Alzheimer disease.

The derivation of the term may be related to the term "brain infarction," however a more likely etiology is the direct comparison of the episode of forgetfulness escaping one's brain without check to the accidental production of flatus.

A piece of surgical filament is introduced into the internal carotid artery and forwarded until the tip occludes the origin of the middle cerebral artery, resulting in a cessation of blood flow and subsequent brain infarction in its area of supply.

When injecting spheres into the cerebral circulation, their size determines the pattern of brain infarction: Macrospheres (300 - 400 m) induce infarcts similar to those achieved by occlusion of the proximal MCA , whereas microsphere ( 50 m) injection results in distal, diffuse embolism .

Loss of consciousness may occur as the result of traumatic brain injury, brain hypoxia (e.g., due to a brain infarction or cardiac arrest), severe poisoning with drugs that depress the activity of the central nervous system (e.g., alcohol and other hypnotic or sedative drugs), severe fatigue, and other causes.
