THrombolysis for Acute Wake‐up and unclear‐onset Strokes with alteplase at 0·6 mg/kg (THAWS) Trial
DiscussionThis trial may help determine if low‐dose alteplase at 0·6 mg/kg should be recommended as a routine clinical strategy for ischemic stroke patients with unclear‐onset time.

Association of baseline dyslipidemia with stroke recurrence within five‐years after ischemic stroke
ConclusionsOur results showed that DL is related to the recurrent strokes in patients with ischemic stroke within five‐years after ischemic stroke, specifically to the large‐artery disease subtype.

Predictive validity of severity grading for cerebral steno‐occlusive arteriopathy in recurrent childhood ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThe CVSS is a reliable measure of severity of steno‐occlusive arteriopathy in childhood stroke. This preliminary study suggests that higher CVSS is associated with stroke recurrence in children with moyamoya arteriopathy.

Elevated platelet‐derived growth factor AB/BB is associated with a lower risk of recurrent vascular events in stroke patients
ConclusionsHigher levels of PDGF‐AB/BB were independently associated with a lower risk of recurrent vascular events in a cohort of convalescent nondisabled stroke patients. Our findings suggest that PDGF‐AB/BB may potentially serve as a prognostic marker for outcomes pos‐ stroke and, if this result is validated in larger samples, a potential therapeutic target.

Burden of stroke in Puerto Rico
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and the first cause of long‐term disability in Puerto Rico. Trained staff reviewed and independently validated the medical records of patients who had been hospitalized with possible stroke at any of the 20 largest hospitals located in Puerto Rico during 2007, 2009, and 2011. The mean age of the 5005 newly diagnosed stroke patients (51·2% female) was 70 years. At the time of hospitalization, women were 4½ years older, were less likely to be married (60·2% vs. 39·9%, P < 0·001), smoked less (5·8% vs. 13·4%, P < 0·001), and had significantly higher proportion...

Prevalence of vertebral artery origin stenosis in a multirace‐ethnic posterior circulation stroke cohort: Miami Stroke Registry (MIAMISR)
ConclusionsWe found a lower prevalence of vertebral artery origin stenosis in a predominately non‐white population with posterior circulation stroke than previously reported. Vertebral artery origin stenosis was a direct cause of posterior circulation stroke in only 5·2% of patients.

Telestroke a viable option to improve stroke care in India
In India, stroke care services are not well developed. There is a need to explore alternative options to tackle the rising burden of stroke. Telemedicine has been used by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to meet the needs of remote hospitals in India. The telemedicine network implemented by ISRO in 2001 presently stretches to around 100 hospitals all over the country, with 78 remote/rural/district health centers connected to 22 specialty hospitals in major cities, thus providing treatment to more than 25 000 patients, which includes stroke patients. Telemedicine is currently used in India for diagnosing stro...

Relationship between hospital volume and early outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator
ConclusionHospital volume was not significantly associated with seven‐day mortality or functional independence at discharge in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in Japan.

Should DWI MRI be the primary screening test for stroke?
Patients presenting with focal neurological symptoms may suffer from ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, or stroke mimics. Such patients are usually screened with a noncontrast‐enhanced computed tomography to rule out hemorrhage and to detect early signs of ischemia. However, the sensitivity of noncontrast‐enhanced computed tomography for acute stroke is far inferior to that of diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging and the latter is also very sensitive for identifying acute intracerebral hemorrhage. Most centers perform a magnetic resonance imaging stroke protocol that takes long to accomplish and may ...

The THRIVE score predicts symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after intravenous tPA administration in SITS‐MOST
ConclusionsThe THRIVE score predicts the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after intravenous tissue plasminogen activator administration. This external validation of the relationship between THRIVE and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in a prospective study further strengthens the role of the THRIVE score in the prediction of poststroke outcomes.

Detection of ischemic penumbra using combined perfusion and T2* oxygen challenge imaging
ConclusionsIn conclusion, T2* oxygen challenge combined with perfusion imaging has advantages over alternative magnetic resonance imaging techniques for penumbra detection by providing serial assessment of available penumbra based on tissue viability.
