The study carried on 30 patients diagnosed reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (RIND) at Bach Mai Hospital Nervous deparment from 2000 January. Result: The indicende of male was higher than female (67% vs 33%). 70% were 45 to 59 years of age. Two major reasons were internal carotid artery stenosis 60%, heart diseases e.g mitral stenosis and insufficiency, artrial fibrillation 27%, the cause of unknown 13%. The clinical symptoms of RIND were: hemiplegia 100%, hemisensory loss, dysphasia or aphasia. RIND can make cerebral infarction, so need to detect early and treat timely to advoid stroke and cerebral infarction

Brain-MR studies are sensitive to intracranial ischemia and vascular flow. However, brain MR study for brain death is clinically limited because keeping the ventilation is difficult during study. In our hospital, three 'brain death patients' brain-MR studies were performed under the anesthetic Mapleson's circuit-F system. Three patients' clinical states were not changed after the studies. We confirmed that brain herniation, absent intracranial flow void, no intracranial contrast enhancement, poor gray/white matter differentiation, and prominent nasal enhancement findings. The value of brain-MR study for brain death may be possible.

The treatment of stroke is undergoing a revolution, which is reflected in the wide spread use of the term "Brain Attack". Our understanding of the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia, and our ability to effectively intervene in the clinical setting have changed the way patients at risk of or suffering from a stroke are managed.

The trials to detect the cerebral ischemia during the brain surgery have been continued since last three decades. The intraoperative Xenon isotope cerebral blood flow(CBF) measurement and EEG monitoring were proven to be useful techniques for this purpose. But these techniques have several drawbacks and are not easily applicable in most institutions. Authors, therefore, developed a intraoperative cerebral ischemia monitoring system which applied the digital electroencephalography(EEG) and compressed spectral array(CSA) technique. Technical details of our system and the examples of clinical applications are described.

Hypoxic/ischemic brain damage is well-known catastrophic injury. The specific treatment, socalled neuroprotective therapy, aims to prevent or diminish this havoc damage. However, approved neuroprotective therapy in clinical practice is limited. Targeted temperature management (TTM) shows the most promising neuroprotective therapy. Moreover, TTM is also useful for intracranial pressure (ICP) control. Many methods of TTM have been reported. TTM can apply to several clinical conditions associated with hypoxic/ischemic brain injury or elevated intracranial pressure.

Background: Cerebral stroke is an issue of great interest in the community, particularly the elderly. One of these risk factors, the risk of Lipid disorders is of primary concern.\r\n', u'Objectives: Research on Lipid to contribute recommended disease prevention and treatment of cerebral inchemic stroke.\r\n', u'Subjects and method: 44 patients with cerebral stroke (28 males, 16 females, age: 30-86, everage: 61.5+ 13.5) medically treated in the Faculty-Department of Heart-Kidney-Joint-Endocrinology and Faculty -Department of Neurology, Army Hospital 103, from May 2003 to July 2004 were include in the study. RL identified lipid in patients with cerebral inchemic stroke with hypertension according: Test the nervous system, cardiovascular system, brain computed tomography scanner, blood pressure monitoring, monitoring of dyslipidemia.\r\n', u'Results:The results obtained are as follows. The rate of lipid disorders among patients with is chemic cerebral stroke was 79.6%. The rates of lipid disorders closely increased with age, the older age the higher rate, and vice versa. The rate of lipid disorders in cerebralis ischemic stroke patients without arterial hypertension was 90.3%. In cerebral ischemic stroke patients without arterial hypertension, the rate of lipid disorders and non lipid disorders were about the same (53.9% vs 46.1%, respectively)\r\n', u'Conclusion: Research results entirely consistent with the theoretical basis and research. However, this problem should be studied further\r\n', u'\r\n', u'

Subjects are 540 patients, including 320 males and 220 females, mean age 62.1±11.8, ranged from 11 to 84 years old. Rate of lacunar infarction is 29%. Hypertension and diabetes are 2 major risk factors as well as are causes of lacunar infarction. Idiopathic cerebral infarction accounts for high rate (46%). Progress and prognosis of lacunar infarction is better than other ischemic strokes.
