A Paper-Based Elisa Device for the Rapid Detection of Ischemic Stroke
<p>Diagnosing an ischemic stroke quickly and accurately is essential for appropriate treatment and results in more effective management of the stroke, leading to better patient outcomes. Specifically, the determination of ischemic versus hemorrhagic stroke leads to critically different treatment …

Therapeutic Targeting of Arteriogenesis Following Ischemic Stroke
Strokes are a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, predominantly caused by ischemic events. Ischemic strokes occur when a clot or other obstruction lodges in a blood vessel of the brain, restricting the movement of blood. Subsequent rapid cell death occurs and often leads to …

Expanding the evidence of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke: patient–centered outcomes, population–level impact, and patients presenting with mild stroke symptoms
… treatment (EVT) for anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke due to large‐vessel occlusion is the new standard of care resulting in reduced disability compared to medical treatment. Practice guidelines recommend the use of EVT but can only speak to the evidence provided by clinical trials and …

Injectable chemokine-releasing gelatin matrices for enhancing endogenous regenerative responses in the injured rat brain
Brain injuries acquired from hemorrhage, ischemic strokes and trauma affect millions worldwide each year and often cause irreversible loss of neural tissue that disrupts vital neurological functions. Cell transplantation has traditionally been the strategy for achieving neuroregeneration but …
