Background and Purpose—In clinical trials and observational studies there is considerable
inconsistency in the use of definitions to describe delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after …

Background and Purpose— Numerous imaging techniques have been developed and applied
to evaluate brain hemodynamics. Among these are positron emission tomography, single …

Background The inconsistent effect of hypothermia treatment on severe brain injury in
previous trials might be because hypothermia was induced too late after injury. We aimed to …

✓ The authors sought to determine risk for stroke in individuals with symptomatic carotid
stenosis or occlusion based upon an assessment of cerebral blood flow (CBF) reserves. …

✓ To evaluate the changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) that occur immediately after head
injury and the effects of different posttraumatic lesions on CBF, 61 CBF studies were obtained …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the hemodynamic consequences
of extracranial carotid disease correlate with the risk of subsequent cerebral infarction. …

The clinical, operative and pathological characteristics of a dissecting aneurysm of the
vertebral artery are presented. A review of the literature suggests that this type of intracranial …

OBJECTIVE: In patients with traumatic or ischemic brain injury, hyperthermia is thought to
worsen the neurological injury. We studied fever in the neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) …
