The Effect of Aging and Small-Vessel Disease Burden on Hematoma Location in Patients with Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Conclusion: Putaminal, thalamic, and lobar hemorrhages are prone to occur in specific ages and SVD states: putaminal in young patients, thalamic in old and high SVD burden patients, and lobar hemorrhages in old and low SVD burden patients. Susceptibility to bleeding with aging or severe SVD accumulation seems to differ considerably among brain locations.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Real-World Experience with Artificial Intelligence-Based Triage in Transferred Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Patients
Conclusions: Preliminary results have shown that Viz LVO implementation is associated with earlier, more consistent NT notification times. This application can serve as an early warning system and a failsafe to ensure that no LVO is left behind.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

The “Flying Intervention Team”: A Novel Stroke Care Concept for Rural Areas
Background: Endovascular treatment of large vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke patients is difficult to establish in remote areas, and time dependency of treatment effect increases the urge to develop health care concepts for this population.Summary: Current strategies include direct transportation of patients to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) ( “mothership model”) or transportation to the nearest primary stroke center (PSC) and secondary transfer to the CSC (“drip-and-ship model”). Both have disadvantages. We propose the model “flying intervention team.” Patients will be transported to the nearest ...

Defining Minor Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Conclusions: The definition of mICH using the NIHSS cutoff point of 6 for supratentorial ICH and 4 for infratentorial ICH is useful to identify good outcome in ICH patients.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Severity of Small Vessel Disease Biomarkers Reduces the Magnitude of Cognitive Recovery after Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: The severity of SVD biomarkers, encompassing WMH and cSS, seems to reduce the magnitude of cognitive recovery after an IS. The detection of such SVD biomarkers early after stroke might help to identify patients with a cognitive vulnerability and a higher risk of poststroke cognitive impairment.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Left Atrial Appendage Flow Velocity and Multiple Infarcts in Cryptogenic Stroke
Conclusions: Reduced LAA-FV on TEE was associated with multiple infarcts in patients with cryptogenic stroke. The present findings indicate that cryptogenic stroke with multiple infarcts includes embolic stroke due to LAA dysfunction.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Clinical Outcome of Acute Ischemic Strokes in Patients with COVID-19
Conclusion: In this study, patients with AIS infected by SARS-CoV-2 showed a poorer early outcome than COVID − ones. However, when compared to other factors, COVID-19 was not a significant predictor of poor outcome. Vascular morbidity and mortality rates were significantly higher in the COVID+ group compared with the COVID− group.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Stroke Angel: Effect of Telemedical Prenotification on In-Hospital Delays and Systemic Thrombolysis in Acute Stroke Patients
Conclusion: Although the positive effects of Stroke Angel in AIS provided a rationale for implementation in routine care, larger studies of practice implementation will be needed. Using Stroke Angel in the prehospital management of AIS impacts on important process measures of IVT delivery.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Clinical Significance of Cytotoxic Lesions of the Corpus Callosum in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients: A Retrospective Analysis
Conclusions: The development of cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum may be related to the extent of hematomas in SAH patients. Although they are usually reversible lesions, the development of cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum may be a predictor of poor outcomes in SAH patients.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Risk Factors, and Clinical and Etiological Characteristics of Ischemic Strokes in COVID-19-Infected Patients: A Systematic Review of Literature
Conclusions: Ischemic strokes in COVID-19-infected patients were clinically severe, affecting younger patients mainly with Cry and cardioembolic etiologies. Further multicenter prospective registries are needed to better describe the causal association and the effect of COVID-19 infection on stroke.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Higher Mortality of Ischaemic Stroke Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19 Compared to Historical Controls

Association of Carotid Artery Endothelial Signal Intensity Gradient with Unilateral Large Artery Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: Although CCA and ICA are located with continuity, the hemodynamics and their roles in large artery ischemic stroke should be considered separately. Further studies are needed to delineate the pathophysiologic roles of ESS in CCA and ICA for large artery ischemic stroke.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)
