...Matias Guzman; Pablo M. Lavados; Gabriel Cavada; Alejandro M. Brunser; Veronica V. Olavarria Introduction: Tenecteplase (TNK) has demonstrated to be non-inferior to alteplase (ALT) for intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

...Jeong Yoon Song; Sun U. Kwon Background: Ischemic stroke is a significant global health problem associated with mortality and disability. Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a leading cause of stroke and contributes to recurrent stroke, especially in the Asian population. ICAS should...

González Introduction: In emergency rooms (ERs), 5% of patients experiencing an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) receive an alternative diagnosis; these cases...

... populations. This cross-sectional study investigates the prevalence of the RNF213 rs112735431 gene in non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke (NCIS) among Thai patients. Methods: A cross-sectional investigation was conducted on patients aged 18 years or older admitted to King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital between...

... between antiplatelet treatment and clinical outcomes, including ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, functional outcome, survival, and bypass patency, in patients with MMD. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, from the inception date to February 2022...

... patients showing an acute ischemic stroke in the context of COVID-19 were identified in the literature ( Table 1 ) [ 6‒12 ]. In 4 out of them, acute ischemic lesions were multiple, involving bilateral centrum semi-ovale with a pattern compatible with a watershed distribution [ 8‒10 , 12 ]. No hemodynamic...

... (eGFR) at admission in patients with ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between the two. Methods: Patients who were hospitalized and diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke were recruited from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018, at Shanghai TCM-Integrated...

...Kendra Jing Ying Tang; Seyed Ehsan Saffari; Kaavya Narasimhalu; Kian Kheng Queck; Deidre Anne De Silva Introduction: Patients with cancer are known to have an increased risk of ischemic stroke (IS) around the time of their diagnosis. However, there is a paucity of data in Asian populations...

... network using specific risk factors that contribute to stroke severity. Methods: We examined gender differences in stroke severity among 454 patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The logistic regression model was used to predict clinical risk factors associated with stroke severity...

...Nandini Mitta; Sapna Erat Sreedharan; Sankara P. Sarma; Padmavathy N. Sylaja Background: The impact of gender on acute ischemic stroke, in terms of presentation, severity, etiology, and outcome, is increasingly getting recognized. Here, we analyzed the gender-related differences in etiology...

... Marca; Aldobrando Broccolini Introduction: We sought to verify the predicting role of a favorable profile on computed tomography perfusion (CTP) in the outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) undergoing effective mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods: We...

...Juha-Pekka Pienimäki; Sara Protto; Eetu Hakomäki; Pasi Jolma; Niko Sillanpää Background and Purpose: Anemia predicts poor clinical outcome of ischemic stroke in the general stroke population. We studied whether this applies to those treated with mechanical thrombectomy for proximal anterior...

...) may account for 1 out of 4 cryptogenic strokes (CS) and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). The purpose of this pilot study was to search for biomarkers potentially predicting incident AF in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA. Methods: Plasma samples were collected from patients aged 18 years...

...Bijan J. Khaksari; Erin R. Kulick; Mitchell S.V. Elkind; Amelia K. Boehme Background and Purpose: Previous studies suggested that quality of care may be lower on weekends than during the week. We hypothesized that, among patients hospitalized for an index ischemic stroke, those admitted on weekends...

... >9 predicted very poor outcomes (mRS 0–2: 0%, mRS 4–6: 98.5%). The estimated interrater reliability of the aNIHSS was higher than that of the total 24-h NIHSS across 6 published datasets (mean weighted kappa 0.80 vs. 0.73, p < 0.001). Conclusions: At 24 h following ischemic stroke, aphasia...

... symptoms. Ischemia is far less likely in patients with an INR of ≥2 and rare in those with an INR ≥3.6. This study shows that the INR value of a patient on warfarin can help stratify patients’ risk for acute ischemic stroke and guide further neurologic imaging and workup. [email protected] 19 03...
