MTI-Hungary Today 2025.05.23.

The stroke care program of Semmelweis University’s Department of Neurosurgery and Neurointerventional Medicine has been awarded the highest diamond level recognition by the European Stroke Organisation (ESO), the institution announced to MTI on Thursday.

They recalled that the ESO’s assessment examines how quickly, how organized, and how professionally patient care is provided.

The clinic provides care continuously, 24 hours a day, according to the highest quality standards, with treatment beginning without delay within one hour of the onset of symptoms,

they wrote.

Over the past year, the clinic has treated more than a thousand cases, including 760 patients in serious condition who required mechanical blood clot removal in addition to thrombolysis, they said.

Fact

When a blood vessel becomes blocked, whether in the case of an organ transplant, heart attack, or stroke, the affected organ suffers from a lack of oxygen and cells send emergency signals to the surface. Researchers working in a joint venture between Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) Faculty of Science and the HUN-REN Research Center for Natural Sciences have recently created a unique drug that protects the body from damage following oxygen deprivation.

EvolVeritas, founded by research and discovery scientists from the ELTE Faculty of Science and the HUN-REN Research Center for Natural Sciences, has created a unique drug through the directed evolution of a human protein. The patent-protected EVO24L prevents organ damage following oxygen deprivation. EvolVeritas’s new active ingredient, EVO24L, prevents inflammation as well as destruction by providing a perfect and durable cover for the MASP-2 active site.
