Increase in intracellular Ca 2+ [Ca 2+ ]i regulates many biological functions including
apoptosis, but the protein(s) linking [Ca 2+ ]i and apoptosis are not completely understood. We …

Objective Preoperative embolization of meningioma is commonly performed; however,
there is no consensus on the best embolic material to reduce intraoperative blood loss and …

Background Aneurysmal recanalization is a problem with endovascular coiling and one of
its risk factors is the low volume embolization ratio (VER). The first coil VER (1st VER) is …

Objective Advances in vascular reconstruction devices and coil technologies have made coil
embolization a popular and effective strategy for treatment of relatively wide-neck cerebral …

Calcium (Ca 2+ ) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) controls numerous cellular
functions including proliferation, and is regulated in part by inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate …

Background Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) is a major determinant of prognosis in patients with
subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Alteration in the vascular phenotype contributes to …

Background Neuroendovascular therapy is a common treatment for patients with acute ischemic
stroke of the anterior circulation who fail to respond to recombinant tissue plasminogen …

Objective Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a clinical syndrome characterized by acute
onset after central nervous system injury. Here, we investigated the clinical features of NPE …

Mechanically-induced vasospasm often occurs during guiding catheter insertion, occasionally
preventing catheter advancement to the desired location. Delicate manipulation would be …

Objective Although small unruptured aneurysms rarely rupture, many patients with subarachnoid
hemorrhage (SAH) have ruptured small, especially very small intracranial aneurysms (…
