... and initial NIHSS score was strong in patients without CDM ( r = 0.731) but only moderate in patients with CDM ( r = 0.355). Conclusion: Patients with both CDM and PDM had a better response to late-window EVT than those with PDM only. Late phase Thrombectomy Recovery Clinical-diffusion mismatch Early...

...Wolf-Dieter Heiss Prediction measures of recovery and outcome after stroke perform with only modest levels of accuracy if based only on clinical data. Prediction scores can be improved by including morphologic imaging data, where size, location, and development of the ischemic lesion is best...

...Carine Gandin; Catherine Widmann; Michel Lazdunski; Catherine Heurteaux Background: There is increasing evidence that angiogenesis, through new blood vessel formation, results in improved collateral circulation and may impact the long-term recovery of patients. In this study, we first investigated...

.... ‘Isolated aphasia' was defined by aphasic patients without motor limb deficit. We created a ‘composite language score' obtained by summing the NIHSS items 1b, 1c and 9, which reflects language-processing ability. Recovery of functions was evaluated as measured by global NIHSS, composite language score...

...-analysis to frame the interpretation of the results of an ongoing large multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of the efficacy of MLC601 in improving the recovery of stroke patients. Methods: PubMed® and the Cochrane Library® databases...

...Bejoy Machumpurath; Stephen M. Davis; Bernard Yan Background: Treatment with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is associated with improved outcome in acute ischemic stroke. Of note, a proportion of patients demonstrate rapid and significant neurological recovery within 24 h. This has previously...

...Henk T. Hendricks; Jaco W. Pasman; Jacques van Limbeek; Machiel J. Zwarts Objective: The use of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in predicting recovery after stroke still appears to be somehow equivocal. We assessed the prognostic value of MEPs with respect to arm and hand motor recovery in acute...

A previous study in acute stroke patients suggested that trafermin was safe and well tolerated when given over a 3-hour period over a wide dose range. Methods and Results: Double-blind, parallel...

...S. Iglesias; G. Marchal; F. Viader; J.-C. Baron Although ‘intrahemispheric diaschisis’ (i.e. a hypometabolism affecting the cerebral hemisphere ipsilateral to but remote from the infarct) may classically exacerbate acute-stage neurological deficit and influence early recovery, it has been studied...

...) of cerebral infarction. On the other hand, if bFGF is administered intracisternally starting at one day after ischemia, infarct size is not reduced, but recovery of sensorimotor function of the impaired limbs is increased, presumably due to enhancement of new neuronal sprouting and synapse formation...

...?) was moderate ((= 0.51) whilst that of the ''recovery'' question (i.e. Do you feel that you have made a complete recovery from your stroke?) was good ĸ= 0.61). Although this degree of reliability may be acceptable in very large studies, it will make it more difficult to demonstrate real differences between...

The answer to the item ''Do you feel that you have made a complete recovery from your stroke?'' had an accuracy of 90% when compared...
