We aimed to evaluate the clinical presentations and report the acceptable clinical and angiographic outcome of the distal posterior cerebral artery (PCA) dissecting aneurysms with parent artery occlusion (PAO).
Intracranial supratentorial neuroenteric cysts are very rare lesions in the central nervous system. We described a neuroenteric cyst of the left lateral ventricle in a 38-year old male, which had been confirme...
Bioethics falls within the controversial ethical issues from the new advances and emerging technology in pre-clinical and clinical settings which inspired medical policy and practice. The purpose of this paper...
Here, we compiled ten papers detailing recent strides in the field of stem cell therapy, which address critical issues relevant to pursuing this experimental treatment for clinical applications in brain disord...
Repeated intracranial hemorrhages caused by cardiac myxoma is very rare. It is essential for physicians to be aware of such uncommon clinical feature of myxoma.
Much still remains unknown about the pathogenesis of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Previous studies have revealed the abnormal expression of various angiogenesis-related genes in AVMs. To further u...
The aim of the present meta-analysis was to identify whether there was a relationship between mobile phone use and risk of brain tumor. A comprehensive search strategy was developed, and studies were eliminate...
There may be a pathological connection between cardiac failure and ischemic stroke. In this article we describe pertinent research that demonstrates subsequent death of cardiac and neural myocytes in the post ...
This article discusses possible applications of cells derived from human amniotic fluid in regenerative medicine, specifically in stroke therapy. Recent studies have evaluated amniotic fluid as a viable source...

Several experimental therapeutics have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in animal models of neurological disorders, but have failed when they reached the clinic. Postulated factors that affected the ...
Ischemic stroke represents a major, worldwide health burden with increasing incidence. Patients affected by ischemic strokes currently have few clinically approved treatment options available. Most currently a...
The use of biomaterials, such as hydrogels, as a scaffold to deliver cells and drugs is becoming increasingly common to treat neurological conditions, including stroke. With a limited intrinsic ability to rege...
Hemodynamic factors are considered to play an important role in the initiation and recurrence of cerebral aneurysms. However, hemodynamic characteristics leading to the recurrence of aneurysms is not well reco...
