This study intended to investigate the frequency specific brain oscillation activity in patients with acute basal ganglia ischemic stroke (BGIS) by using the degree centrality (DC) method. A total of 34 acute BGIS patients and 44 healthy controls (HCs) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scanning. The DC values in three frequency bands (conventional band: 0.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the spontaneous regional neural activity abnormalities in patients with acute basal ganglia ischemic stroke (BGIS) using a multifrequency bands regional homogeneity (ReHo) method and to explore whether the alteration of ReHo values was associated with clinical characteristics.

Methods: In this study, 34 patients with acute BGIS and 44 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. All participants were examined by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of different frequency bands in the spontaneous brain activity among patients with acute basal ganglia ischemic stroke (BGIS).

Methods: In the present study, thirty-four patients with acute BGIS and forty-four healthy controls were examined by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) from May 2019 to December 2020. Two amplitude methods including amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and fractional ALFF (fALFF) calculated in three frequency bands (conventional frequency band: 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer can lead to a higher risk of ischemic stroke due to increased blood clotting (hypercoagulability), and traditional tests may not reliably detect this issue.
  • A study involving 35 patients with lung cancer-related strokes found that thromboelastography (TEG) was more effective in identifying hypercoagulability compared to standard coagulation tests, with detection rates of 77.14% for TEG vs. 51.43% for routine tests.
  • The findings suggest that TEG could be a valuable tool for identifying hypercoagulability in lung cancer patients, potentially aiding in stroke prevention efforts.

microRNA (miR) are a class of endogenous small non-coding RNA that are aberrantly expressed and are critical in tumorigenesis. Amongst them, miR-152 was reported to be dysregulated in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, the function and mechanism of miR-152 is not well understood.
