Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease that causes brain tissue damage due to sudden blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain. According to the latest data from the Global Burden of Disease Study, the number of stroke patients worldwide is estimated to exceed 100 million, and more than 80% of patients suffer from stroke. Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke due to which two-thirds of the patients are disabled or even die, seriously affecting the patient's quality of life.

The Purpose: Evaluation of the short-term and long-term results of a phased correction of the tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) with stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in comparison with a one-stage total correction (TC) of the defect.

Materials And Methods: Two groups of patients with classical ToF were formed. Group 1 (n = 25; median age = 72 days) was initially represented by children with ToF with a more severe clinical status (median weight = 3.

Objective: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a major obstacle to neurological recovery after clinical treatment of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanism of Nek6 alleviating CIRI through autophagy after cerebral ischemia.

Materials And Methods: A mouse model of CIRI was constructed by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) contributes to cerebrovascular diseases and cognitive decline. Preclinical studies support the deleterious impact on the brain of intermittent hypoxia (IH), one of the main components of OSA, but heterogeneity in rodent species and brain regions studied, or induced by IH paradigms, can challenge interpretation of the studies. Hence, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of IH on rodent brain oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1).

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that is associated with a wide variety of health conditions, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, metabolic, neoplastic, and neurocognitive manifestations. OSA, as a chronic condition, is mainly characterised by repeated upper airway obstructions during sleep that cause episodes of intermittent hypoxia (IH), resulting in tissue hypoxia-reoxygenation cycles. Decreased arterial oxygen pressure (PaO) and haemoglobin saturation (SatO) stimulate reflex responses to overcome the obstruction.
