Summary
This review explores apoptosis in ischemic stroke (IS) pathogenesis. A novel patient functional request concept, encompassing external and internal factors, offers new therapeutic and rehabilitation strategies for IS.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Cell Biology
- Pathology
Background:
- Ischemic stroke (IS) is a leading cause of disability.
- Apoptosis plays a significant role in IS pathogenesis.
- Current understanding of IS pathogenesis requires novel conceptual frameworks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the role and mechanisms of apoptosis in ischemic stroke.
- To introduce a new conceptual framework for understanding IS pathogenesis.
- To explore the clinical and fundamental potential of this new concept for therapy and rehabilitation.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on apoptosis in ischemic stroke.
- Conceptual analysis of patient-centered factors in IS.
- Integration of apoptosis mechanisms with patient functional requests.
Main Results:
- Apoptosis is a key mechanism in the development of ischemic stroke.
- A novel concept of 'functional request of the patient' is proposed.
- This concept integrates internal and external patient attributes influencing IS outcomes.
Conclusions:
- The 'functional request' concept provides a new perspective on IS pathogenesis.
- Understanding apoptosis and functional requests can enhance IS therapy.
- This framework holds potential for improved post-IS rehabilitation strategies.

Mechanical systems are analogous to to electrical networks where springs and masses play similar roles to inductors and capacitors, respectively. A viscous damper in mechanical systems functions similarly to a resistor in electrical networks, dissipating energy. The forces acting on a mass in such systems include an applied force in the direction of motion, counteracted by forces from the spring, a viscous damper, and the mass's acceleration. This interplay of forces is mathematically...

Electromechanical systems are intricate configurations that effectively combine electrical and mechanical elements to achieve a desired outcome. Central to many of these systems is the DC motor, a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, enabling various applications ranging from simple fans to complex robotic mechanisms.
A key component of the DC motor is the armature, a rotating circuit positioned within a magnetic field. As an electric current passes through the...

Cancer cells accumulate genetic changes at an abnormally rapid rate due to the defects in the DNA repair mechanisms. From an evolutionary perspective, such genetic instability is advantageous for cancer development. Mutant cell lines accumulate a series of beneficial mutations that contribute to their progression into cancer.
Some of the advantages that cancer cells have on normal cells include - enhanced ability to divide without terminally differentiating, induce new blood vessel formation,...

14.4K
Apoptosis is a combination of two Greek words, 'apo' and 'ptosis,' meaning separation and falling off, respectively. Hippocrates used this word to describe gangrene, which was caused due to bandaging of fractured bones. Apoptosis was distinguished from necrosis in 1970 when John Kerr reported observations of morphological changes occurring during apoptosis. During one experiment, he observed that the disruption of blood supply to the liver tissue resulted in a size...

In an underdamped second-order system, where the damping ratio ζ is between 0 and 1, a unit-step input results in a transfer function that, when transformed using the inverse Laplace method, reveals the output response. The output exhibits a damped sinusoidal oscillation, and the difference between the input and output is termed the error signal. This error signal also demonstrates damped oscillatory behavior. Eventually, as the system reaches a steady state, the error diminishes to zero.

First-order systems, such as RC circuits, are foundational in understanding dynamic systems due to their straightforward input-output relationship. Analyzing their responses to different input functions under zero initial conditions reveals significant insights into system behavior.
When a first-order system is subjected to a unit-step input, its response is characterized by its transfer function. By applying the Laplace transform of the unit-step input to the transfer function, expanding the...
