Effects of predictive nursing intervention on cognitive impairment and neurological function in ischemic stroke patients
ConclusionPredictive nursing intervention is beneficial to improve the effects of thrombolytic therapy in patients with ischemic stroke, which improves the neurological, cognitive and motor functions of patients, and reduces the occurrence of complications, suggesting an important clinical application value.

Hidden Telltale Signs in Hyperacute Ischemic Stroke Caused by Aortic Dissection: A Case Report and Post Hoc Analysis
Conclusion: Hyperacute ischemic stroke caused by AD often hides some telltale signs. Clinicians should master basic clinical skills to exclude AD by looking for these telltale signs hidden in hyperacute ischemic stroke to avoid the fatal consequences of intravenous thrombolysis and/or cerebral angiography within the narrow window of time.

Treatments in Ischemic Stroke: Current and Future
Background and Aim: Despite progress made over the last 30 years, stroke is still a leading cause of disability and mortality; likewise, its burden is expected to increase over the next decades, due to population growth and aging. The development of drugs with better safety-efficacy profiles as well as strategies able to improve ischemic stroke management from the pre-hospital setting is needed.Summary: The pathophysiology of ischemic stroke involves multiple pathways resulting in cerebral artery obstruction and brain tissue ischemia. To date, the only approved drug for acute ischemic stroke is intravenous thrombolytic alt...

Outcomes and Treatment Complications of Intravenous Urokinase Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke in China
Conclusions: Patients treated with urokinase had similar outcomes but a higher risk of extracranial bleeding compared to patients treated with alteplase. The risk of extracranial bleeding was higher in the patients treated with high-dose urokinase than in the patients treated with low-dose urokinase. Patients who received low-dose urokinase had similar outcomes and complications compared to patients treated with alteplase. In countries such as China where some acute ischemic stroke patients cannot afford alteplase, urokinase may be a good alternative to alteplase for intravenous thrombolysis.

Safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolytic treatment in wake ‐up stroke: Experiences from a single center
ConclusionsOur study demonstrated that in patients who awaken with stroke symptoms, intravenous thrombolytic treatment is a safe procedure that may lead to favorable outcomes. Further studies should be performed to increase the size of the group of patients with wake ‐up strokes who can be treated with reperfusion therapy.

Influence of Sex on Stroke Prognosis: A Demographic, Clinical, and Molecular Analysis
Conclusion Our data suggest that women who suffer from IS present with a poorer functional outcome than men at 3-months, regardless of other preclinical and clinical factors during the acute phase. These relationships seem to be mediated by atrial dysfunction and inflammation. The inflammatory response is slightly higher in women; however, there are no sex differences in their functional behavior. There is a probable relationship between the molecular marker of atrial dysfunction NT-proBNP and worse functional outcome in women, and the connection seems to be more important in cardioembolic stroke patients. In patients wi...

Frequency of Hemorrhage on Follow Up Imaging in Stroke Patients Treated With rt-PA Depending on Clinical Course
Conclusions: Frequency of hemorrhagic transformation in Routine follow-up brain imaging and consecutive changes in therapeutic management were different depending on clinical course measured by NHISS score. Introduction Brain imaging 24–36 h after systemic thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke is recommended in American Stroke Association and European Stroke Organization guidelines (1, 2). Brain imaging is performed to detect secondary bleeding or hemorrhagic transformation in order to adapt medical stroke prevention if necessary. Guideline recommendations are based on the results of the first study on rt-PA...

Incidence of orolingual angioedema after intravenous thrombolysis for stroke
DiscussionThe incidence of orolingual angioedema was very low in our series. Although OA is usually mild, anaphylactoid reactions may rarely occur, because of the variable degree of activation of the complement system and kinin cascade caused by alteplase. In such instances, admission to neurointensive care may be required. Specific bradykinin antagonists or drugs that target the kallikrein-kinin system are beginning to be used in the more severe cases. Thus, doctors and nurses caring for acute stroke patients need to be able to recognize and treat this complication.

Outcomes of Endovascular Thrombectomy with and without Thrombolysis for Acute Large Artery Ischaemic Stroke at a Tertiary Stroke Centre
Conclusion: Our study highlights the relatively large proportion of patients suitable for EVT who have a contraindication to alteplase and raises the hypothesis that adding alteplase to successful EVT may not be necessary to optimize functional outcome. The results are consistent with observational data from other endovascular centres and support a randomised controlled trial of EVT versus EVT with bridging alteplase.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2017;7:95 –102

Idarucizumab in Dabigatran-Treated Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Receiving Alteplase: A Systematic Review of the Available Evidence
ConclusionExperience with idarucizumab administration prior to tissue plasminogen activator treatment in acute ischemic stroke is limited. Initial clinical experience in less severe stroke syndromes and short time windows seems favorable. Larger cohorts are required to confirm safety, including bleeding complications and the risk of thrombosis.

Outcomes of Endovascular Thrombectomy with and without thrombolysis for acute large artery ischaemic stroke at a Tertiary Stroke Centre (P5.259)
Conclusions:Our study supports the use of direct EVT for patients in whom alteplase is contraindicated. We observed no additional benefit of adding intravenous thrombolysis to EVT but the estimates are imprecise due to small numbers. Nevertheless, the results are consistent with observational data from other centres, and support a randomised controlled trial of EVT vs. EVT with bridging alteplase.Disclosure: Dr. Wee has nothing to disclose.
