1 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Background/Objective: Dyskinesia caused by transient ischemic attack (TIA) and mild ischemic stroke (MIS) is mild and short-lived; however, cognitive impairment (CI) can occur in the acute phase and be easily overlooked. DNA methylation is an epigenetic phenomenon that can affect gene expression through gene silencing. Blood levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9 are elevated in ischemic stroke patients and...
