Health professionals' knowledge of driving restrictions following stroke and TIA: experience from a hyperacute stroke centre
Conclusions Health professionals providing stroke care showed limited knowledge of FTD regulations after minor stroke or TIA. Imparting accurate information on driving restrictions is an important but neglected part of stroke management.

Consensus Statements by Korean Society of Interventional Neuroradiology and Korean Stroke Society: Hyperacute Endovascular Treatment Workflow to Reduce Door-to-Reperfusion Time.
Abstract Recent clinical trials demonstrated the clinical benefit of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. These trials confirmed that good outcome after EVT depends on the time interval from symptom onset to reperfusion and that in-hospital delay leads to poor clinical outcome. However, there has been no universally accepted in-hospital workflow and performance benchmark for rapid reperfusion. Additionally, wide variety in workflow for EVT is present between each stroke centers. In this consensus statement, Korean Society of Interventional Neuroradiolog...

Multicentre collection of uniform data on patients hospitalised for transient ischaemic attack or stroke in the Philippines: the Philippine Neurological Association One Database-Stroke (PNA1DB-Stroke) protocol
Introduction For scientific advances to translate into improved patient outcomes, systems of care must be in place to facilitate delivery of care. There is scarce information on quality of care and clinical outcome in our stroke patients. We aim to collect uniform data from patients with first or recurrent transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke to determine in-patient caseload, patient profile, types of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, outcomes and overall quality of care among patients hospitalised for acute stroke in the Philippines. Methods and analysis This multicentre observational...

Impact of socioeconomic deprivation on mortality in people with haemorrhagic stroke: a population-based cohort study
Conclusions There is a significant impact of SED on long-term mortality after haemorrhagic stroke. The reasons for this survival inequality must be explored to reduce mortality in patients with haemorrhagic stroke.

The 2020 Taiwan Stroke Society guidelines for blood pressure control at the acute stage of ischemic stroke
J Formos Med Assoc. 2022 Aug 27:S0929-6646(22)00318-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jfma.2022.08.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 2020 Taiwan Stroke Society (TSS) guidelines for blood pressure (BP) control related to ischemic stroke update the 2015 TSS BP guidelines. The early management of acute ischemic stroke has evolved rapidly in the previous two decades. Since the publication of the previous version of the TSS BP guidelines, many studies have addressed BP management in ischemic stroke. Particularly, several successful endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) trials published in 2015 led to a new era of acute treatment for ischemic st...

Distribution of risk factors differs from coronary heart disease and stroke in China: a national population survey
Conclusions The distribution of risk factors for CHD and stroke were substantial differences. More specific prevention and control measures should be formulated according to the distribution differences of risk factors related to CVD.

Use of antiplatelet drugs in stroke prevention: time for a rethink?
Worldwide, 15 million people suffer stroke each year from which a third die and a further third sustain severe disability, with ischaemic events accounting for ~80% of all strokes.1 The annual estimated economic burden of stroke is 64.1 billion in Europe alone.2 While recent major investments in acute stroke services have focused on thrombolysis and hospitalisation in dedicated stroke wards, we believe that primary and secondary stroke prevention should remain of utmost importance in a disease that carries such serious permanent neurological sequelae. Antiplatelet agents such as aspirin, diypridamole or clodpidogrel are ph...

Acute ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack and the need for inpatient echocardiography
Conclusions Echocardiography detected potential clinically relevant findings in a minority of patients (7.6%), but these findings changed medical management 90.5% of the time. A risk score using sex, ECG abnormality, and embolic pattern imaging at baseline could help predict which patients are more likely to have these echo findings.

Effects of aspirin on risk and severity of early recurrent stroke after transient ischaemic attack and ischaemic stroke: time-course analysis of randomised trials
Publication date: Available online 18 May 2016 Source:The Lancet Author(s): Peter M Rothwell, Ale Algra, Zhengming Chen, Hans-Christoph Diener, Bo Norrving, Ziyah Mehta Background Aspirin is recommended for secondary prevention after transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or ischaemic stroke on the basis of trials showing a 13% reduction in long-term risk of recurrent stroke. However, the risk of major stroke is very high for only the first few days after TIA and minor ischaemic stroke, and observational studies show substantially greater benefits of early medical treatment in the acute phase than do longer-term trials. ...

Remote ischaemic conditioning for preventing and treating ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: We found low-quality evidence that RIC may reduce the risk of recurrent stroke in participants with intracerebral artery stenosis and reduce stroke severity in participants undergoing carotid stenting, but it may increase death or dependence in participants with acute ischaemic stroke who are undergoing intravenous thrombolysis. However, there is considerable uncertainty about these conclusions because of the small number of studies and low quality of the evidence. PMID: 29974450 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The relationship between malignant tumors and ischemic stroke: II. Chronology of diagnoses and treatment of strokes
Orv Hetil. 2022 Jan 9;163(2):43-51. doi: 10.1556/650.2022.32329. Print 2022 Jan 9.ABSTRACTÖsszefoglaló. A malignus daganatok és a stroke együttesen gyakran fordulnak elő a stroke tradicionális rizikófaktoraival (magas vérnyomás, hyperlipidaemia, cukorbetegség, elhízás, dohányzás) rendelkező betegekben. Az elmúlt évtized kutatási eredményei alátámasztották, hogy a rosszindulatú daganatban szenvedő betegekben szignifikánsan nagyobb a stroke kockázata. A malignus daganatokhoz társuló stroke a leggyakrabban a malignus daganat diagnózisát követő fél-egy év során jelentkezik. A kapcsolat a más...
