These findings suggest an association between OSAS and diminished cerebral vasodilator reserve, related to the increased susceptibility to cerebral ischemia in patients with OSAS, particularly evident in the early morning.

Results show an association between impaired cerebral microvessels functionality and unfavorable evolution of cognitive function in patients with AD.
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts the Outcome of Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage

In patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage, higher neutrophils, lower lymphocytes, and higher NLRs predicted worse 3-month outcome, while the NLR resulted the best discriminating variable and the best predictive cut-off value was 4.58.
Effect of Collateral Blood Flow and Cerebral Vasomotor Reactivity on the Outcome of Carotid Artery Occlusion

- Medicine, PsychologyStroke
- 1 July 2001
The data suggest that cerebral hemodynamic status in patients with carotid occlusive disease is influenced by both individual anatomic and functional characteristics, and the planning of strategies to define the risk profile and any attempt to influence patients’ outcome should be based on the evaluation of the intracranial hemodynamic adaptive status.
Age and sex differences in cerebral hemodynamics: a transcranial Doppler study.

It is suggested that the large reduction of cerebrovascular reactivity in postmenopausal women cannot be considered a simple factor related to aging but is probably influenced by hormonal changes.
Impairment of daytime cerebrovascular reactivity in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

- 1 December 1998
A diminished vasodilator reserve in OSAS patients demonstrates a reduction of the possibility of cerebral vessels to adapt functionally in response to stimulation, which could be linked to hyposensitivity of cerebrovascular chemoreceptors after the continuous stress caused by nocturnal hypercapnia.
Bilateral simultaneous transcranial Doppler monitoring of flow velocity changes during visuospatial and verbal working memory tasks.

The findings agree with results of recent studies using PET which show lateralized activation during working memory tasks and suggests that further application in cerebral flow change monitoring during neuropsychological studies could be promising.
Cytotoxin-Associated Gene-A–Positive Helicobacter pylori Strains Are Associated With Atherosclerotic Stroke
- A. Pietroiusti, M. Diomedi, A. Galante

- 30 July 2002
The association between H pylori and acute cerebrovascular disease seems to be due to a higher prevalence of more virulent H pylonori strains in patients with atherosclerotic stroke.
