  • 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.

"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 thus worked our way up this river, gradually adjusting our thoughts to novelties, beholding from its placid bosom a new nature and new works of men, and, as it were with increasing confidence, finding nature still habitable, genial, and propitious to us; not following any beaten path, but the windings of the river, as ever the nearest way for us. Fortunately, we had no business in this country.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Do not worry about the incarnation of ideas. If you are a poet, your works will contain them without your knowledge—they will be both moral and national if you follow your inspiration freely.”
    —Vissarion Belinsky (1810–1848)

    “Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
