[HTML][HTML] Evolution of blood-brain-barrier permeability after acute ischemic stroke

Z Merali, K Huang, D Mikulis, F Silver, A Kassner - PloS one, 2017 - journals.plos.org
The dynamics of BBB permeability after AIS in humans are not well understood. In the
present study we measured the evolution of BBB permeability after AIS in humans using MRI. …

Selective reduction of blood flow to white matter during hypercapnia corresponds with leukoaraiosis

…, JS Han, J Poublanc, AP Crawley, A Kassner… - Stroke, 2008 - Am Heart Assoc
Background and Purpose— Age-related white matter disease (leukoaraiosis) clusters in bands

Assessment of blood–brain barrier disruption in stroke

A Kassner, Z Merali - Stroke, 2015 - Am Heart Assoc
The blue azo dye, Evans blue, has a MW of 1.0 kDa. A notable property of Evans blue is its
propensity to bind serum albumin. The dye can, therefore, be used to measure the …

Blood‐oxygen level dependent MRI measures of cerebrovascular reactivity using a controlled respiratory challenge: reproducibility and gender differences

A Kassner, JD Winter, J Poublanc… - Journal of Magnetic …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose: To evaluate the reproducibility and gender differences in cerebrovascular reactivity
(CVR) measurements obtained using the blood‐oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response …

Fiber density index correlates with reduced fractional anisotropy in white matter of patients with glioblastoma

TPL Roberts, F Liu, A Kassner… - American Journal of …, 2005 - Am Soc Neuroradiology
A quantitative description of white matter fiber attenuation, the fiber density index (FDi) is
described. This measure is derived from quantitative analysis of diffusion tensor imaging and …
