  • Flamm ES, Demopoulos HB, Seligman ML, Poser RG, Ransohoff J., Free radicals in cerebral ischemia, Stroke. 1978 Sep-Oct;9(5):445-7.
Generally acknowledged as the first experimental demonstration of a role for reactive oxygen species in stroke.
  • Demopoulos, H. B,, Flamm, E. S., Pietronegro, D. D., and Seligman, M. L., The free radical pathology and the microcirculation in the major central nervous system disorders, Acta Physiol. Scand. Suppl., 492, 91, 1980.
This paper first suggests that free radical pathogenesis in stroke may be at least partially mediated through damage to the microcirculation. The neuroprotective antistroke agents NXY-059, Tirilazad, Superoxide dismutase/Catalase, and uric acid all likely work at this level, rather than interneuronally.
  • Demopoulos, H., Flamm, E., Seligman, M. L., Poser, R., Pietronegro, D., and Ransohoff, J., Molecular pathology of lipids in CNS membranes, in Oxygen and Physiological Function, Volsis, F. F., Ed., Professional Information Library, Dallas, Tex., 1977, 491.

"Large doses of methohexital protect the microcirculation in regional cerebral ischaemia models". This is the first well-defined example of an antistroke neuroprotective agent working outside the blood–brain barrier. NXY-059, Superoxide dismutase, catalase, uric acid, and Tirilazad are others.

Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “We all agree now—by “we” I mean intelligent people under sixty—that a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. Unluckily, the matter does not end there: a rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.”
    —Clive Bell (1881–1962)

    “Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “The appetite of workers works for them; their hunger urges them on.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:26.
