Tobacco Use and Cryptogenic Stroke in Young Adults
Objective: Cryptogenic stroke is the leading subtype of ischemic stroke in the young. We sought to evaluate the association between traditional cardiovascular risk factors and cryptogenic stroke by using a case–control study. Methods: Patients aged 18-54 years, consecutively treated for first-ever cryptogenic ischemic stroke in an academic stroke unit, were compared with subjects from the general population living in the same geographic area. Control subjects were matched for age and sex with patients.

Multiple Silent Brain Infarcts Are Associated with Severer Stroke in Patients with First-Ever Ischemic Stroke without Advanced Leukoaraiosis
Silent brain infarct (SBI) is associated with symptomatic stroke, but the association between SBI and acute ischemic stroke severity is uncertain. We aimed at investigating the association between SBI number and stroke severity in patients with first-ever ischemic stroke without advanced leukoaraiosis.

Accessibility to Tertiary Stroke Centers in Hokkaido, Japan: Use of Novel Metrics to Assess Acute Stroke Care Quality
Both the accessibility and availability of stroke specialists are major determinants of patient outcomes following acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The purpose of this study was to implement novel metrics to assess the accessibility of tertiary stroke centers as well as to evaluate regional disparities in stroke specialists.

Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score-Time Score Predicts Outcome after Endovascular Therapy in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Single-Center Study
Clinical outcomes after successful endovascular therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke are associated with several factors including onset-to-reperfusion time (ORT), the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS). The NIHSS-time score, calculated as follows: [NIHSS score] × [onset-to-treatment time (h)] or [NIHSS score] × [ORT (h)], has been reported to predict clinical outcomes after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator therapy and endovascular therapy for acute stroke.

Campaign —Once Again Streptokinase Trials (COAST) in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Every year, 1.5 million people suffer from stroke worldwide, the leading cause of disability and the second most common cause of death.1 Stroke incidence in developing countries is much higher and is further rising,2 whereas access to effective acute stroke treatment is very limited. Only 1% stroke sufferers in developing countries have access to the highly expensive tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the only proven and recommended thrombolytic agent for acute ischemic stroke treatment.3

Which Ischemic Stroke Subtype Is Associated with Hyperhomocysteinemia?
In this study, we hypothesized that serum total homocysteine level may be related with specific atherothrombotic ischemic stroke subtypes and aimed to find if high serum homocysteine levels are correlated with any specific ischemic stroke subtype.

Ischemic Volume and Neurological Deficit: Correlation of Computed Tomography Perfusion with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Score in Acute Ischemic Stroke
The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is the most adopted stroke patients' evaluation tool in emergency settings to assess the severity of stroke and to determine the patients' eligibility for specific treatments. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is crucial to identify salvageable tissue that can benefit from the reperfusion treatment. The aim of this study is to identify the relation between the NIHSS scores and the hypoperfused volumes evaluated by CTP in patients with hyperacute ischemic stroke.

Clinical Outcome of Ischemic Stroke in Old Patients Versus Oldest-Old
Background: It is unclear whether very old patients benefit from stroke unit. The aim of our work was to compare the clinical outcome of patients with ischemic stroke aged either 70 or 80 (G 1) versus oldest-old greater than or equal to 81years (G 2). Methods: Of 1187 patients admitted with stroke during 5 years in our stroke unit, we included 252 patients with independent functional status (modified Rankin scale, [mRS] ≤ 2) before the stroke. All patients underwent clinical examination, blood test, electrocardiography, brain imaging, and cerebrovascular ultrasound.

The Impacts of Peptic Ulcer on Functional Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke
This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of peptic ulcer on functional outcomes of ischemic stroke. Methods: Patients with first-ever ischemic stroke were grouped as with and without history of peptic ulcer. Functional outcomes were evaluated with modified Rankin scale at 90 days after the index stroke. Favorable functional outcomes were defined as with a modified Rankin scale score of 0-2.

No Weekend or After-Hours Effect in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated by Telemedicine
Background: Stroke outcomes have been shown to be worse for patients presenting overnight and on weekends (after-hours) to stroke centers compared with those presenting during business hours (on-hours). Telemedicine (TM) helps provide evaluation and safe management of stroke patients. We compared time metrics and outcomes of stroke patients who were assessed and received intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) via TM during after-hours with those during on-hours. Methods: Analysis of our TM registry from September 2015 to December 2016, identified 424 stroke patients who were assessed via TM and received IV-tPA.

Safety and Outcome of Endovascular Treatment for Minor Ischemic Stroke: Results From the Multicenter Clinical Registry of Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands
Goal: Insufficient data is available about safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with minor stroke symptoms because these patients were excluded from most randomized trials. We aimed to compare characteristics, functional outcome, and complications in patients with minor ischemic stroke National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤5 (NIHSS score ≤5) and moderate to severe ischemic stroke (NIHSS score ≥6) due to intracranial proximal artery occlusion of the anterior circulation who underwent EVT.
