Younger gerbils have been found to be more resistant than adults to cerebral infarction after carotid ligation. In this study, the perfused cerebral area after bilateral common carotid occlusion was evaluated in infant, young, and adult Mongolian gerbils by the carbon black perfusion method to
High intensity lesions are frequently encountered in the basal ganglia, thalamus and cerebral white matter in T2-weighted images of MRI. Most of them are generally assumed to represent cerebral infarction without pathologic verification. Studies were performed on the brain showing such lesions with
Heart failure during the immediate period of an acute myocardial infarction constitutes a major insult to this pathology; since, once installed, it is associate to ventricular dysfunction and expansion of the left ventricle. It can appear either early or delayed. Subsequent to the acute insult, the
