Sixty-seven patients (ages: 11-40 years) suffering from ischemic cerebral circulatory disturbances were investigated clinically and angiographically. In 34 cases, transient ischemic attacks or reversible ischemic neurological defects were diagnosed; 33 patients suffered from completed strokes. In most cases the completed stroke took place without previous transient ischemic attacks. A very good tendency toward recovery was observed in 60 of 67 cases. Stenoses or occlusions were found in only 21.5% of the clinically affected vessel regions. However, 50% of those patients, on whom panangiography was performed, were shown to have stenoses or occlusions. Stenotic vessel wall lesions are also obviously to be expected in clinically nonaffected vessel regions; consequently, in cases of cerebral circulatory disturbances, angiographic investigation of all craniocervical vessels is advisable.

Light is the most reliable environmental cue allowing animals to breed successfully when conditions are optimal. In seasonal breeders, photoperiod (length of daylight) information is sensed by the eyes and transmitted to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the master clock region located in the hypothalamus. This structure has a 24-h firing rhythm involving a cycle of clock protein synthesis and degradation, and provides the timing to synchronize the synthesis and release of melatonin, the chemical signal that transduces the photoperiod information.

Epilepsy is characterized by neuronal discharges that occur as a result of disruption of the excitatory and inhibitory balance of the brain due to functional and structural changes. It has been shown in the literature that this neurological disorder may be related to the expression of ion channels. Any defect in the function or expression mechanism of these channels can lead to various neuronal disorders such as epilepsy.

Optical techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), contain high potential for the development of non-invasive wearable systems for evaluating cerebral vascular condition in aging, due to their portability and ability to monitor real-time changes in cerebral hemodynamics. In this study, thirty-six healthy adults were measured by single channel fNIRS to explore differences between two age groups using machine learning (ML). The subjects, measured during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Oulu University Hospital, were divided into young (age ≤ 32) and elderly (age ≥ 57) groups.

Background: Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) may contribute to the initial stages of the pathophysiological process in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hypoperfusion has been observed in several brain regions in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the clinical significance of CBF changes in the early stages of AD is currently unclear.

Background: Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is an effective intervention for restoring adequate circulatory perfusion after cardiac arrest. Ensuring high-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) before initiating Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is critical to mitigate tissue hypoxia and ischemia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO) Goal-Directed CPR (GDCPR) on neurological function before ECMO using a retrospective case-control analysis.
