In most people the left hemisphere of the brain is dominant for language. Because of the
increased incidence of atypical right-hemispheric language in left-handed neurological patients…

Background— Evidence for efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy in stroke is limited.
Symptomatic carotid stenosis patients are at high risk of early recurrent stroke. In this group, …

We expanded our genome-wide association study on atrial fibrillation (AF) in Iceland, which
previously identified risk variants on 4q25, and tested the most significant associations in …

To evaluate the CO2-induced vasomotor reactivity of the cerebral vasculature, relative
changes of blood flow velocity within the middle cerebral artery were measured by transcranial …

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound is capable of detecting microembolic material, both gaseous
and solid, within the intracranial cerebral arteries. To avoid discrediting this promising and …

Our knowledge about the variability of cerebral language lateralization is derived from
studies of patients with brain lesions and thus possible secondary reorganization of cerebral …

Background Various genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been done in ischaemic
stroke, identifying a few loci associated with the disease, but sample sizes have been …

The highly variable clinical course of cervical artery dissections still poses a major challenge
to the treating physician. This study was conducted (1) to describe the differences in clinical …

Aims To determine whether atrial fibrillation (AF) in stroke-free patients is associated with
impaired cognition and structural abnormalities of the brain. AF contributes to stroke and …

Although most therapeutic efforts and experimental stroke models focus on the concept of
complete occlusion of the middle cerebral artery as a result of embolism from the carotid artery …
