No clue what this means.

Park KY, et al. - The target herein was to investigate the rise in plasma levels of glycogen phosphorylase BB (GPBB) isoform, among patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). A robust response was illustrated by GPBB, with regard to acute ischaemia and high sensitivity for small infarcts. GPBB could be beneficial as a stand-alone marker for acute brain ischaemia if the results were affirmed in more diverse populations including stroke mimics.
