  • 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.

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:

    “I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “That man’s best works should be such bungling imitations of Nature’s infinite perfection, matters not much; but that he should make himself an imitation, this is the fact which Nature moans over, and deprecates beseechingly. Be spontaneous, be truthful, be free, and thus be individuals! is the song she sings through warbling birds, and whispering pines, and roaring waves, and screeching winds.”
    —Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)

    “The difference between de jure and de facto segregation is the difference open, forthright bigotry and the shamefaced kind that works through unwritten agreements between real estate dealers, school officials, and local politicians.”
    —Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
