accompanies acute ischemic stroke. Elevated blood levels of systemic inflammatory markers …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is the best-known acute phase protein. In humans, almost every
type of inflammation is accompanied by an increase of CRP concentration. Until recently, the …

Inflammation is implicated in several aspects of acute ischaemic stroke. It remains to be
established whether the inflammatory response is a truly independent risk factor in general …

Background and Purpose—The diagnosis of ischemic stroke can be difficult. CT may be

Background There is growing evidence that inflammation plays an important role in
atherogenesis. Previous studies show that C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory …

Background Inflammation is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and particular
inflammatory parameters can be used to predict the incidence of CVD. The aim of this study …

Serum biomarkers related to the cascade of inflammatory, hemostatic, glial and neuronal
