OBJECTIVE: The goals of this study were to identify and quantify the presence of
programmed cell death (apoptosis) in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) among human
subjects. Recent evidence from laboratory models suggests that cell death in the
perihematoma region may involve apoptosis. METHODS: Retrospective clinical and
histological analyses were performed for patients with spontaneous ICH who underwent
surgical evacuation. Quantification of apoptotic cells was performed in sections obtained …
