Circulating Chemokines and Short- and Long-Term Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke.

Chemokines are vital in post-cerebral ischemia inflammatory reactions. We investigate the possible relationship between plasma chemokines and short-term and long-term outcomes after stroke. This study included 235 patients (median age, 72 years; 49.

Reduced ex vivo TNFα synthesis upon whole blood stimulation with endotoxin predicts post-stroke fatigue.

Objective: Fatigue is a common, debilitating syndrome after stroke. Peripheral inflammation plays a role in the pathogenesis of fatigue of different origin, but its contribution to post-stroke fatigue (PSF) remains unclear. We aimed to determine if there is any association between ex vivo synthesized and circulating cytokines, and risk of PSF.
