Predictive value of melatonin and serotonin levels in early recovery period of cerebral ischemic hemispheric stroke by S. O. Medvedkova

“…The aim was developing of criteria for prediction of the early recovery period outcome of cerebral ischemic hemispheric stroke (CIHS) on the base of the identification of serum concentration of melatonin and plasma level of serotonin. Materials and methods: complex clinical and paraclinical investigation was carried out in 77 patients (the average age of patients was 57.9 ± 0.9 years) on early recovery period of CHIS using of clinical scales (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, Barthel Index, modified Rankin Scale) on the 10th, 30th, 90th and 180th day of disease, and visualization of cerebral structures by CT scan, and identification of the serum concentration of melatonin and serotonin plasma level on the 10th, 30th day of disease, and also by the calculation of the melatonin/serotonin ratio (MSR) as serum concentration of melatonin divided by serotonin plasma level. …”
