Ischemic preconditioning (IP), has emerged as a powerful experimental method of ameliorating ischemic-reperfusion injury in a variety of organs. Clinical trials using IP have been successfully carried out. They support the existence of IP induced cyto-protection in humans as well. IP induced "ischemia tolerance" and "reperfusion tolerance" mechanisms are presented. The new, recently discovered modifications of IP "remote preconditioning" and "postconditioning" and their possible clinical applications in the ischemia of human: heart, liver, lung, brain, kidney and skeletal muscles are discussed.

Ischemic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

An ischemic stroke occurs when a cerebral blood vessel becomes obstructed, most often by a thrombus or embolus, interrupting the delivery of oxygen and glucose to brain tissue. Because neurons rely on continuous aerobic metabolism, energy failure begins within minutes of reduced perfusion. The region receiving the least blood flow becomes the infarct core, an area of irreversible cellular death. Surrounding this core lies the penumbra, a zone of hypoperfused but still viable tissue that is...
