Importância da Hemorreologia clínica no estudo do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral em condições normais e na isquemia Cerebrovascular

Abstract

A critical review on the importance of hemorheology for establishing clinical management of acute cerebrovascular insufficiency is presented. With this purpose a revision is made on cerebral blood flow, acute cerebrovascular insufficiency, and clinical hemorheology. Data support an evaluation on main drugs presently used in the management of stroke, and on general principles adopted for medical treatment and prevention of stroke.

Roberto Melaragno's scientific contributions to Brazilian Neurology

Initially, he published on general neurology, then made more frequent contributions in the areas of cerebrovascular diseases and, later, neuroimmunology and multiple sclerosis, including books on these topics 7,8,15 .…”

“…Initially, he published on general neurology, then made more frequent contributions in the areas of cerebrovascular diseases and, later, neuroimmunology and multiple sclerosis, including books on these topics 7,8,15 . Notable articles addressed cerebrovascular diseases, studies on the pharmacology of cerebral circulation, thrombosis of the internal carotid artery, intracranial aneurysms, and clinical hemorheology in the study of cerebral blood flow 12,14 . In neuroimmunology he published articles on cerebrospinal fluid immunoglobulins G in nervous system diseases 15 , and on the topic of neuromuscular diseases, he addressed ocular myopathy, periodic paralysis, and Charcot-Marie disease 10 .…”
