Comparison of Serum Soluble Corin Levels among Stroke Subtypes
Journal Title: Journal of Neurology, Neurological Science and Disorders - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Serum soluble corin was decreased not only in some cardiac diseases, but also in stroke. Cardiogenic sources play a critical role in ischemic stroke. Serum soluble corin level in stroke subtypes has not been studied. Here we aimed to study corin level in 4 stroke subtypes: hemorrhagic, thrombotic, embolic and lacunar stroke.

Therapeutic Hypothermia in improving Neurological outcome after Cardiac Arrest
Background: Only a few patients survive cardiac arrest as it with widespread cerebral ischemia frequently leads to severe neurologic impairment. Aim: Our objective was to evaluate whether induced hypothermia improves n...
Use of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Treatment of Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia
