The replicability of research results has been a cause increasing concern to the scientific community. long-held belief that experimental standardization begets also recently challenged, with observation reduction variability within studies can lead idiosyncratic, lab-specific cannot be replicated. An alternative approach is to, instead, deliberately introduce heterogeneity, known as “heterogenization” design. Here, we explore novel perspective in heterogenization program meta-analysis...

<h3>Background</h3> Meta-analysis of preclinical data is used to evaluate the consistency findings and inform design conduct future studies. Unlike clinical meta-analysis, often involve many heterogeneous studies reporting outcomes from a small number animals. Here, we review methodological challenges in meta-analysis estimating explaining heterogeneity treatment effects. <h3>Methods</h3> Assuming aggregate-level data, focus on two topics: (1) estimation using commonly methods meta-analysis:...

Abstract Oxidative stress contributes to the progression of brain injury following ischemic stroke and reperfusion. NADPH oxidase is a well‐established source superoxide in vascular disease, but its contribution tissue has yet be fully elucidated. Here we show spatiotemporal profile subunits Nox2 Nox4 concurrent generation induced by middle cerebral artery constriction conscious rats. mRNA was progressively up‐regulated both ipsilateral cortex striatum from 6 hr 7 days poststroke also...

In both the human and animal literature, it has largely been assumed that edema is primary cause of intracranial pressure (ICP) elevation after stroke more equates to higher ICP. We recently demonstrated a dramatic ICP 24 hours small ischemic strokes in rats, with minimal edema. This was completely prevented by short-duration moderate hypothermia soon stroke. Here, our aims were determine importance whether mild could prevent rise. Experimental performed rats. monitored (35 °C) or (32.5...

Oxidative stress caused by an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is known to contribute stroke injury, particularly during reperfusion, and antioxidants targeting this process have resulted in improved outcomes experimentally. Unfortunately these improvements not been successfully translated the clinical setting. Targeting source oxidative may provide a superior therapeutic approach. The NADPH oxidases are family enzymes dedicated solely ROS production pre-clinical animal studies shown...

Background Intracranial pressure elevation, peaking three to seven post-stroke is well recognized following large strokes. Data small–moderate stroke are limited. Therapeutic hypothermia improves outcome after cardiac arrest, strongly neuroprotective in experimental stroke, and under clinical trial stroke. Hypothermia lowers elevated intracranial pressure; however, rebound elevation neurological deterioration may occur during rewarming. Hypotheses ( 1 ) increases 24 h moderate small 2...
