Administration of a phosphodiesterase 4B inhibitor reduces hippocampal neuronal cell death after global cerebral ischemia

Abstract Global cerebral ischemia (GCI) causes widespread neuronal injury, with hippocampal neurons being particularly vulnerable. This study examined whether post-GCI treatment with amlexanox (AMX), a phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) inhibitor, reduces hippocampal neurodegeneration...

Vascular Imaging Features and Time-Specific Recurrence Risk After Craniocervical Artery Dissection

Background and ObjectivesCraniocervical artery dissection (CCAD) is a major cause of stroke in young adults, yet its recurrence risk remains poorly defined because of delayed enrollment in prior research. We aimed to determine the temporal distribution of recurrent ischemic strok...
