Early Mobilization Decision after an Acute Ischemic Stroke: Protocol for an Umb...
Fernandes, Catarina; Sousa, João André; Bernardo-Castro, Sara; Silva, Fernando; Donato, Helena; Sargento-Freitas, JoãoIntroduction: Stroke is considered one of the greatest public health challenges worldwide, with the ischemic subtype being the most prevalent. Various acute stroke clinical guidelines recommend early rehabilitation interventions, including very early mobilization. However, despite the studies conducted in recent years regarding when to initiate mobilization after an acute stroke, there are few systematic and pe...
Reconsidering the role of blood-brain barrier in Alzheimer's disease: From deli...
Sousa, João André; Bernardes, Catarina; Bernardo-Castro, Sara; Lino, Miguel; Albino, Inês; Ferreira, Lino; Brás, José; Guerreiro, RitaThe existence of a selective blood-brain barrier (BBB) and neurovascular coupling are two unique central nervous system vasculature features that result in an intimate relationship between neurons, glia, and blood vessels. This leads to a significant pathophysiological overlap between neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease whose p...
Therapeutic Nanoparticles for the Different Phases of Ischemic Stroke
Bernardo-Castro, Sara; Albino, Inês; Barrera-Sandoval, Ángela María; Tomatis, Francesca; Sousa, João André; Martins, Emanuel; Simões, SusanaStroke represents the second leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Ischemic strokes are the most prevalent type of stroke, and they are characterized by a series of pathological events prompted by an arterial occlusion that leads to a heterogeneous pathophysiological response through different hemodynamic phases, namely the hyperacute, acute, subacute, and chronic phases. Stroke treatment is highl...
Permeability of the blood-brain barrier through the phases of ischaemic stroke ...
Bernardo-Castro, Sara; Donato, Helena; Ferreira, Lino; Sargento-Freitas, JoãoIntroduction Ischaemic stroke is the most prevalent type of stroke and is characterised by a myriad of pathological events triggered by a vascular arterial occlusion. Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a key pathological event that may lead to fatal outcomes. However, it seems to follow a multiphasic pattern that has been associated with distinct biological substrates and possibly contrasting outcom...
