Meanings of lacunar infarction in anglès

The patient presented with left hemiparesis due to lacunar infarction.

A higher incidence of lacunar infarction (LI) has been reported in nonwhite stroke populations.

Conclusions: Primary hematologic disorders and secondary hemostatic derangements may occur in patients with either cortical or lacunar infarction.

We conducted a study on the added value of two D-dimer assays over clinical assessment for diagnosis of lacunar infarction.

Conclusions: In patients with lacunar infarction and diffuse white matter abnormalities, the presence of callosal atrophy may indicate cognitive impairment.

Patients with atherothrombotic infarction had higher total serum cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations than patients with lacunar infarction.

Results: Five patients with lacunar infarction and 7 patients with cortical infarction demonstrated raised fibrinopeptide A levels, indicating enhanced thrombin activity.

However, it is uncertain whether these abnormalities occur in both cortical and lacunar infarction; this study aimed to further assess this issue.

Lupus anticoagulants were detected in 3 patients with lacunar infarction and in 1 patient with cortical infarction.

Three patients in each group displayed decreased antithrombin III function, and 1 patient with a lacunar infarction had a low protein C level.

Background and purpose: It is unclear why only some patients with lacunar infarction and radiological evidence of diffuse white matter abnormalities have dementia.

Here we discuss the similarities between the genesis of pulmonary cavitation in various animal models and lacunar infarction in the cerebral cortex of rats.

The presence of lacunar infarctions was also associated with increased Abeta40 in both groups.
