Article Synopsis
- - Gagnep, a Vietnamese medicinal plant, has been studied for its chemical composition and anti-cancer properties, particularly focusing on its rhizome extract (CSE).
- - The study evaluated the cytotoxic effects of CSE on liver and breast cancer cells using different assays, finding significant cancer cell death while sparing normal cells, and showing a dose-dependent induction of apoptosis in specific cancer cell lines.
- - Key compounds identified in the extract included sesquiterpenes like germacrone, ar-turmerone, and curcumol, marking this research as the first to report on the anti-cancer activity of Gagnep's rhizomes.
Background And Purpose: Patients with acute ischemic stroke receive computed tomography angiogram (CTA) and digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) for clinical evaluation. Current guidelines lack in defining indications for transcranial Doppler (TCD) and/or carotid duplex ultrasonography (CUS) in acute stroke evaluation or follow-up cerebrovascular imaging after reperfusion. We investigated the clinical utility of performing additional TCD/CUS after reperfusion in guiding postacute care stroke management.
