Abstract:

Stroke is a devastating, neurological dysfunction due to brain blood supply disturbance. It is responsible for increasingly high rate of mortality and disability worldwide. This thesis comprises two original studies involving 868 patients at risk of ischemic stroke and/or hemorrhagic stroke. The first study investigated aspirin’s effect among patients with intracranial hemorrhage. Unlike Caucasians which hemorrhagic strokes account for 10-15% of all strokes; in Chinese, intracranial hemorrhages strike up to 35%. After such, anti-platelet agent like aspirin is often avoided for fear of rec

Abstract:

Stroke outcome is highly variable. Experiments in this thesis test the hypothesis that experience prior to a stroke is an important variable in the manifestation of stroke. Optokinetic tracking was used to evaluate the effects of visual cortex stroke and MCA occlusion in rats. Normal laboratory rats showed a small, but significant decrease in tracking thresholds following visual cortex stroke. Animals with developmental visuomotor experience or reach training experience in adulthood, however, had tracking thresholds which were substantially increased, and the effects of visual cortex strokes w

Abstract:

Lacunar strokes account for approximately a quarter of all ischaemic strokes and traditionally are thought to result from occlusion of a small deep perforating arteriole in the brain. Lacunar infarcts can be up to 2cm in diameter and are found in deep brain structures such as the thalamus and internal capsule. Despite their prevalence and specific accompanying clinical syndromes, the cause of lacunar stroke and its associated vascular pathology remain unclear. Many hypotheses as to the cause exist, which fall broadly into two categories; firstly, a direct occlusion via emboli or thrombus usual

Abstract:

Lacunar stroke accounts for one quarter of all ischaemic stroke and in the long term carries a greater risk of death and disability than was previously realised. Much of our current knowledge originated from neuropathological studies in the 1950s and 1960s. In the last thirty years, brain computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have revolutionised our understanding of lacunar stroke and associated features of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), namely white matter lesions (WML), enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) and brain microbleeds (BMB).

Abstract:

The ventral fronto-parietal network has been considered to play a crucial role in reorienting attention towards significant environmental events, while the dorsal system is thought to be dominant in controlling goal-directed behaviour (Corbetta and Shulman 2002). I begin by reviewing literature which suggests this distinction may not be so clear cut and suggest my own scheme which takes into account this evidence (Singh-Curry and Husain 2009). Specifically, ventral areas, particularly the right inferior parietal lobe (IPL), appear to be activated by tasks involving sustained attention, respond

Abstract:

Microglia, the resident macrophages of the brain, were originally assumed to be passive cells, however increasing evidence suggests that microglia play an active role during development and in neurological disorders. Activated microglia release a variety of toxic inflammatory mediators including reactive nitrogen species, cytokines, glutamate and oxygen free radicals, all of which exert a detrimental effect on neuronal survival if secretion is sustained. Microglial responses depend on the signals received from the surrounding microenvironment. Therefore, in this thesis the effects of albumin,

Abstract:

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the developed world and is the leading neurological cause of disability with a massive impact on personal life and society. Large artery atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of ischaemic stroke. However, in several aspects of this condition there is still a significant amount of uncertainty about its prevalence, appropriate investigation and possible treatment. Reliable data on epidemiology are therefore necessary to provide clinicians and researchers with crucial information to guide diagnostic and therapeutic management as well as further re

Abstract:

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a leading cause of stroke and vascular dementia. The majority of cases are sporadic, occurring in the elderly hypertensive population. However, there also exist patients with familial disease. The most common form is Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. In recent years, other genes have also been found to cause familial SVD, such as COL4A1/A2, HTRA1, FOXC1 and TREX1.

It was found that pre-lesion stress induced the most behavioural impairments, while post-lesion stress exacerbated infarct volume. The effects of chronic multiple stress on skilled motor recovery after lesion was also examined. Chronic multiple stress did not modulate skilled mot

Abstract:

Shift work is a work schedule being the opposite of normal daytime work, often defined as working time outside normal daytime hours (06:00 to 18:00). In recent years, shift work has been associated with an increased risk of numerous chronic conditions including for example cardiovascular disease, some types of cancer, type II diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. While some studies on the association between shift work and chronic disease have found results supporting it, others have not. Therefore, more research is needed to clarify potential associations.The aim of this thesis was to further

Stroke survivors are known to experience a reduction in social participation, independently of activity limitations.
