Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between silent brain infarcts (SBI) and leukoaraiosis in middle-aged ischemic stroke patients, finding a significant association between the two conditions in a sample of 50 individuals.
- - Out of the participants, 52% showed signs of leukoaraiosis, with over 65% of those also having SBI, and a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) was noted among the group.
- - The research emphasizes that leukoaraiosis is a critical risk factor for SBI, indicating that enhanced imaging methods can help in diagnosing cerebrovascular conditions related to age and hypertension, though further studies are needed for improved understanding and treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Acute ischemic stroke can cause serious side effects, including headaches that people often overlook, which can affect recovery.
- Researchers are studying how headaches develop after a stroke and how to manage them better by using special imaging techniques.
- They found that certain blood vessels in the brain, when opened during a stroke, are linked to causing these headaches, and understanding this can help predict when they might happen.
Background And Purpose: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the cerebellar hemisphere represents a new option in treating essential tremor (ET) patients. We aimed to determine the efficacy of cerebellar rTMS in treating ET using different protocols regarding the number of sessions, exposure duration, and follow-up duration.
Methods: A randomized sham-controlled trial was conducted, in which 45 recruit patients were randomly allocated to 2 groups.
