Vedashree Meher, U of S researcher led a study to assess the impact of what's inside the blockages causing strokes. Together with her research supervisors, Drs. Roland Auer, Lissa Peeling and Michael Kelly, they aimed to find out if the composition of the clot affects the ability to remove it, and if it also affects the functioning of patients after stroke.
The University of Saskatchewan's synchrotron is being used to help researchers from Oxford looking for potential treatment for stroke and brain injury victims. Researchers from the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Oxford and Columbia University have come together to publish a paper in the journal BAA-Biomembrances. -CBC News
Listen to Dr. Mootaz Salman on Gormley Live discuss using the Canadian Light Source on ground breaking research into treatment reducing edema post stroke and/or brain injury.
The Kelly lab uses synchrotron sources and traditional lab staining techniques to provide a unique view of the stroke-affected brain
Dr. Michael Kelly, a neurosurgeon at #RUH , and colleagues Dr. Jake Pushie, Nicole Sylvain, Richard Wang and Huishu Hou are using the CLS to try to improve care for stroke patients. The @usask research team is studying how the brain is affected by stroke, how different treatments affect the healing process, and how certain pre-existing conditions can make a stroke worse.
Stroke is a leading cause of death in Canada. Dr. Jake Pushie's team at the University of Saskatchewan is examining risk factors for bleeding in the brain after stroke. The team is using the MidIR beamline to study the effects of stroke using non-destructive imaging techniques. They hope to improve outcomes for patients and identify if there are individuals who are particularly vulnerable.
Neuroscience research scientist, Jake Pushie, is studying the long-term effects of coronavirus
Recently, CSVC group member Jake Pushie discussed his work with the Canadian Light Source exploring the molecular wake that COVID-19 can leave on the vascular system, potentially elevating risks of chronic illness long into the future.
