The changing landscape of ischaemic brain injury mechanisms
Article Abstract:
One of the two main therapeutic approaches to treating brain ischaemia focuses on the shortfall of available arterial oxygen and glucose in relation to the requirements of local brain tissue by boosting blood flow. The other therapeutic approach, neuroprotection, seeks to reduce the intrinsic vulnerability of the brain tissue to ischaemia. Developments in methods of brain imaging should permit more accurate delineation of tissue regions in danger because of impairment of blood supply
