Screening Poststroke Fatigue; Feasibility and Validation of an Instrument for the Screening of Poststroke Fatigue throughout the Rehabilitation Process.

Objective: Our objective is to investigate the feasibility and validity of a new instrument to screen for determinants of poststroke fatigue during the rehabilitation process.

Design And Setting: This prospective cohort study was conducted within the stroke department of a rehabilitation center.

Participants: The participants in the study were postacute adult stroke patients.

Ornithine decarboxylase in reversible cerebral ischemia: an immunohistochemical study.

Anesthetized Mongolian gerbils were subjected to 5-min ischemia and 8 h of recirculation. Vibratom sections were taken for studying changes in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) immunoreactivity using an antiserum to ODC, and tissue samples were taken for measuring ODC activity. After 5-min ischemia and 8-h recirculation ODC activity increased 11.
