Different Effects of Normobaric Oxygen in Normotensive Versus Hypertensive Rats After Focal Cerebral Ischemia [Brief Report]
Conclusions—NBO reduced infarction in Sprague–Dawley but not in spontaneously hypertensive rats. These findings suggest that comorbidities may influence responses to potential treatments after stroke. (Source: Stroke)

Effect of Antihypertensive Medication on Cerebral Small Vessel Disease [Brief Report]
Conclusions—AHM has a protective effect on the progression of white matter hyperintensities, but no effect on brain atrophy. There are no trials on the effect of AHM on lacunes, microbleeds, enlarged perivascular spaces, or acute small subcortical infarcts. (Source: Stroke)

Time to Decision and Treatment With tPA (Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator) Using Telemedicine Versus an Onboard Neurologist on a Mobile Stroke Unit [Brief Report]
Conclusions—Assessment by a TM-VN is comparable with an OB-VN in making decisions about tPA administration on an MSU and does not lead to treatment delays.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02190500. (Source: Stroke)

Low Levels of Caveolin-1 Predict Symptomatic Bleeding After Thrombolytic Therapy in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke [Brief Report]
Background and Purpose—Experimental models of cerebral ischemia demonstrate that the decrease in the caveolin-1 membrane protein results in an increase in endothelial permeability. Because this phenomenon is responsible for hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after cerebral ischemia, we aimed to determine whether caveolin-1 levels may predict bleeding after recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (r-tPA) administration in patients with acute stroke.Methods—We studied 133 patients with a first hemispheric stroke treated with r-tPA within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. HT was evaluated and classified on cranial computed t...

Shorter Intensive Care Unit Stays? [Brief Report]
Conclusions—sICH associated with the administration of intravenous tPA typically occurs within the first 12 hours of treatment. Longer monitoring in an intensive care unit-like setting may be unnecessary for most individuals. (Source: Stroke)

Innovative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Markers of Hereditary Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy at 7 Tesla [Brief Report]
Background and Purpose—The aim of the present study is to explore whether using 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging, additional brain changes can be observed in hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type (HCHWA-D) patients as compared with the established magnetic resonance imaging features of sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy.Methods—The local institutional review board approved this prospective cohort study. In all cases, informed consent was obtained. This prospective parallel cohort study was conducted between 2012 and 2014. We performed T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging performed at 7 Tesla...

Distribution of Lacunar Infarcts in Asians With Intracerebral Hemorrhage [Brief Report]
Conclusions—Our findings expand on recent work showing that lobar lacunes are more frequent in CAA-ICH than hypertensive ICH. Their independent association with lobar cerebral microbleeds and brain amyloid deposition suggests a relationship with CAA even in an Asian cohort with overall higher hypertensive load.
