... is higher in patients with ischaemic stroke than in the general population, and recent studies have attempted to clarify the relationship between the two. We observed that the evidence for the impact of comorbid cancer on post-stroke clinical outcomes was not established and aimed to investigate it among...

... outcome Ischaemic stroke The concept of frailty relates to the ability to cope with acute stressors being limited and susceptibility to decline having a relationship to intrinsic “reserve.” Frailty is a distinct clinical syndrome from age and multimorbidity [ 1 ]. Frailty has emerged as a crucial...

... outcomes in many diseases. However, data regarding the impact of the SHR on ischaemic stroke, especially in young adults, are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the SHR is associated with stroke severity and adverse outcomes in young adults with ischaemic stroke...

... atrial remodeling and have been associated with ischaemic stroke even in the absence of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the utility of these P-wave indices in predicting outcomes in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) has not been studied. The aim of this study is to examine...

... ischaemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy from January 2008 to June 2017. Patients receiving any dose of intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis were excluded. Patients taking oral anticoagulants (VKAs or DOACs) were compared with non-anticoagulated patients. Outcomes compared between...

...Wei Wang; Dong-Bin Li; Ru-Ying Li; Xia Zhou; Dong-Ju Yu; Xiao-Yan Lan; Jin-Pin Li; Jing-Li Liu Background: Early and accurate diagnosis of ischaemic stroke (IS) requires the use of an optimized biomarker. Exosomal microRNAs have the potential to serve as biomarkers owing to their stability...

...Nathan W. Manning; René Chapot; Philip M. Meyers Background: In the last 12 months, treatment of acute ischaemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion has undergone a paradigm shift. The success of endovascular surgery, and in particular, the use of stent-retrievers, is remarkable. Summary...

...Shuping Liu; Chengyan Li; Tao Li; Jing Xiong; Xueqing Zhao Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that high blood pressure (BP) increases the risk of cerebral oedema and haemorrhagic transformation of the ischaemic stroke (IS), and that low BP in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is associated...

We included only patients with first-ever ischaemic stroke who were testable for depression and executive dysfunction. For follow-up, national register...

.... The potential to treat arterial thrombosis with plasmin was recognized, but it was not until 1958 that its first use in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) was described. However, since computer tomography (CT) was not available until the mid 1970s, optimal selection of patients was not possible. Early studies...
