The effect of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors on thrombolysis-induced haemorrhagic transformation
Publication date: Available online 11 September 2019Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Yousheng Wu, Dan Lu, Anding XuAbstractThrombolysis-induced haemorrhagic transformation is the most challenging preventable complication in thrombolytic therapy. This condition is often associated with poor functional outcome and long-term disease burden. Statins, or 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, are controversially suggested to either increase or decrease the odds of better primary outcomes compared to treatment without statins after thrombolysis in patients or animals; statins are ...

Evaluation of the role of susceptibility-weighted imaging in thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke
Publication date: Available online 20 February 2017 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): Guangjian Zhao, Ling Sun, Ziran Wang, Liquan Wang, Zhongrong Cheng, Hongyan Lei, Daiqun Yang, Yansen Cui, Shirui Zhang We inspected low-intensity venous signals and microbleeds in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) using susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) before and after administration of within-thrombolytic-time-window thrombolytic therapies, and observed their prognosis and safety, in order to guide individualized thrombolytic therapies. Patients with AIS were divided into groups A or B according to the pres...

The establishment of a telestroke service using multimodal CT imaging decision assistance: “Turning on the fog lights”
Publication date: March 2017 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 37 Author(s): Jelle Demeestere, Claire Sewell, Jennifer Rudd, Timothy Ang, Louise Jordan, James Wills, Carlos Garcia-Esperon, Ferdinand Miteff, Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Neil Spratt, Longting Lin, Andrew Bivard, Mark Parsons, Christopher Levi Telestroke services have been shown to increase stroke therapy access in rural areas. The implementation of advanced CT imaging for patient assessment may improve patient selection and detection of stroke mimics in conjunction with telestroke. We implemented a telestroke service supported by multimodal CT ima...

International benchmarking for acute thrombolytic therapy implementation in Australia and Japan
Publication date: July 2016 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 29 Author(s): Hiroyuki Kawano, Christopher Levi, Yuichiro Inatomi, Heather Pagram, Erin Kerr, Andrew Bivard, Neil Spratt, Ferdinand Miteff, Toshiro Yonehara, Yukio Ando, Mark Parsons Although a wide range of strategies have been established to improve intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) treatment rates, international benchmarking has not been regularly used as a systems improvement tool. We compared acute stroke codes (ASC) between two hospitals in Australia and Japan to study the activation process and potentially improv...

Direct admission to stroke centers reduces treatment delay and improves clinical outcome after intravenous thrombolysis
Publication date: Available online 9 January 2016 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): Dae-Hyun Kim, Hee-Joon Bae, Moon-Ku Han, Beom Joon Kim, Sang-Soon Park, Tai Hwan Park, Kyung Bok Lee, Kyusik Kang, Jong-Moo Park, Youngchai Ko, Soo Joo Lee, Jay Chol Choi, Joon-Tae Kim, Ki-Hyun Cho, Keun-Sik Hong, Yong-Jin Cho, Dong-Eog Kim, Jun Lee, Juneyoung Lee, Mi Sun Oh, Kyung-Ho Yu, Byung-Chul Lee, Hyun-Wook Nah, Jae-Kwan Cha We aimed to examine whether direct access to hospitals offering intravenous thrombolysis is associated with functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke tr...

In-hospital outcomes of thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke in patients with primary brain tumors
Publication date: March 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 22, Issue 3 Author(s): Santosh B. Murthy , Yogesh Moradiya , Shreyansh Shah , Aditi Shastri , Eric M. Bershad , Jose I. Suarez Data on thrombolysis outcomes in patients with primary brain tumors are limited. Our aim was to study stroke outcomes following thrombolysis in these patients in a population-based study. Patients with acute ischemic stroke who received thrombolysis were identified from the 2002–2011 USA Nationwide Inpatient Sample. We compared demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes between primary brain tumor-associated strokes (BT...

A male Fabry disease patient treated with intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke
We report a 38-year-old man with acute aphasia and a left M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery thrombus with no recanalization who was finally diagnosed with Fabry disease after left ventricular hypertrophy of undetermined cause had been identified. A gene test revealed a R227X mutation typical of Fabry disease with the classical phenotype. To our knowledge our patient is the first reported male Fabry patient who was given intravenous thrombolytic therapy and the first reported Fabry patient who received intravenous thrombolytic therapy between 3 and 4.5hours of the symptom onset. Despite favorable prognostic indicator...
