Abstract
Stroke is an acute condition characterized by a sudden decrease in blood flow to brain tissue, resulting in immediate deprivation of both glucose and oxygen. Different mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of stroke, but increasing evidence suggests that one of the processes worsening clinical outcome is inflammation with the synthesis and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that activate several cells contributing to the progression of brain injury. Monoclonal antibody therapy has proved useful and safe for the treatment of several systemic diseases. In contrast, the evidence is limited for the treatment of stroke. More studies are needed in order to standardize the method of treatment and establish if it is safe and effective.

Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms, Diagnosis and Therapy
Ischemic cardiovascular disease includes myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, etc., constitute the leading cause of patient mortality by preventing tissues from getting sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Ischemic heart disease, as a clinical condition, is characterized by myocardial ischemia, causing an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand, ...read more
TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN CHRONIC AND END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE
Cardiovascular disease still remains the leading cause of death in Chronic and End Stage Kidney Disease, accounting for more than half of all deaths in dialysis patients. During the past decade, research has been focused on novel therapeutic agents that might delay or even reverse cardiovascular disease and vascular calcification, ...read more
