A nearly full-recovery from AVM hemorrhagic stroke 17 years after insult using a new integrated neurodevelopmental approach: A case report
This study investigated a novel approach to chronic-phase stroke rehabilitation using traditional child motor-learning techniques, play, and proprioceptive-building activities in addition to current stroke rehabilitation techniques. During an initial six-month period, followed by a three-year period, the participant used motor-developmental learning activities as well as traditional strength, gait, and balance training. During the initial phase of treatment, clinically-significant improvements were recorded along with self-reported lifestyle enhancements. These gains continued throughout the three-and-a-half year process. ...

Recovery of an injured corticobulbar tract in a patient with stroke: A case report
Rationale: The corticobulbar tract (CBT) is known to be involved in the motor function of the non-oculomotor cranial nuclei and controls the muscles of the face, head, and neck. Several studies have reported injury of the CBT in patients with brain injury, however, little is known about recovery of the injured CBT. Patient concerns: A 59-year-old right-handed male underwent decompressive craniectomy for management of brain swelling and intracerebral hemorrhage following an infarction in the left middle cerebral artery territory. Initially, the patient had showed severe dysphagia and had to be fed using a Levin tube. Five ...

The risk of stroke among acutely ill hospitalized medical patients: lessons from recent trials on extended-duration thromboprophylaxis.
Authors: Marszalek J, Mehrsefat S, Chi G Abstract Data from recent randomized controlled trials indicate that the incidence of stroke among acutely ill medical patients is unexpectedly high and approximates 1% at 90 days. Preliminary data suggest that betrixaban may reduce ischemic stroke in patients without atrial fibrillation. There is an unmet demand for stroke risk stratification schemes targeting hospitalized medical patients. The prognostic value of biomarkers such as natriuretic peptides and D-dimer in predicting short-term stroke remains uncertain. Future research should focus on identifying the high-risk s...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a postpartum hemorrhagic woman without hypertension: A case report
Rationale: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), which diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and radiological features, is a neurotoxic disease characterized by a set of clinical manifestations, such as seizure, headache, visual, and/or consciousness disturbance. It is the first case of PRES followed by postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) without underlying disease. Patient concerns: A 37-year-old healthy woman had PPH after caesarean section. Six days after delivery, headache occurred suddenly, followed by episodes of clonus seizure. Diagnoses: Brain computed tomography showed ischemic stroke. However, magnetic...

Restoration of the ascending reticular activating system compressed by hematoma in a stroke patient
In conclusion, restoration of nonreconstructed neural tracts of the lower ARAS with the resolution of the hematoma and perihematomal edema was demonstrated in a stroke patient, using DTT.

Change of ascending reticular activating system with recovery from vegetative state to minimally conscious state in a stroke patient
We report on a stroke patient who showed change of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) concurrent with recovery from a vegetative state (VS) to a minimally conscious state (MCS), which was demonstrated on diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). Patient concerns: A 59-year-old male patient underwent CT-guided stereotactic drainage 3 times for management of intracerebral hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage. Diagnosis: After 4 months from onset, when starting rehabilitation, the patient showed impaired consciousness, with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 6 and a Coma Recovery Scale-Revised score of 2. At...

Acute endovascular recanalization: lessons from randomized controlled trials
Purpose of review: The purpose is to review the results and impact of recent positive studies on endovascular stroke treatment in the context of previous negative trials. Recent findings: Since October 2014, the results of five randomized controlled multicenter trials on the endovascular stroke treatment as adjunct to conservative treatment (largely including intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator) versus conservative treatment alone have been published. All of these trials largely used stent retrievers as endovascular device and included patients with proven large vessel occlusion (mostly distal internal carotid o...

5 Scary Symptoms That Are Usually Harmless
SPECIAL FROM Next Avenue By Linda Melone After 50, aches, pains and the occasional muscle twinge become a fact of life. But some symptoms that may seem frightening or serious turn out to be far less than they appear. While you should always see a doctor if you experience something out of the ordinary, these signs generally are more smoke than fire: A Bloody Nose Nosebleeds can be particularly frightening due to the suddenness in which they occur and the sometimes large amount of blood involved. “People worry that it’s internal bleeding, but almost every time it’s not,” says Dr. Carlo Reyes, emergency room...

Thrombolysis and Expedited Carotid Revascularization.
Abstract With the move towards expedited carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients presenting with a TIA/minor stroke and for offering intravenous thrombolysis <3 hours to patients with acute ischemic stroke, it is inevitable that surgeons will be asked to consider CEA in patients who have made a good recovery from their stroke after thrombolysis and who have a 50-99% ICA stenosis. The key question is; 'how long after thrombolysis should I delay CEA to minimise the peri--operative risk (especially intracranial hemorrhage (ICH)), whilst also minimizing the risks of further embolization and stroke?' Thirteen serie...

Clinical trials in cardiac arrest and subarachnoid hemorrhage: lessons from the past and ideas for the future.
Conclusions. Clinical trials in SAH assessing acute brain injury are warranted and successful interventions identified by the cardiac arrest literature may be reasonable targets of the study. PMID: 23533956 [PubMed]

Organ-specific bleeding patterns of anticoagulant therapy: lessons from clinical trials.
Abstract Anticoagulants are effective at preventing and treating thrombosis, but can cause bleeding. For decades, vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) have been the only available oral anticoagulants. The development of non-VKA oral anticoagulants (NOACs), which inhibit either factor Xa or thrombin stoichiometrically, has provided alternatives to VKAs for several indications. The results of recent large-scale randomised controlled trials comparing NOACs with VKAs for the prevention of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) have produced some unexpected results. As a group, NOACs showed similar effic...

Maternal death from stroke: a thirty year national retrospective review
Conclusion: This is the largest UK study examining the incidence of fatal maternal stroke in pregnancy and the puerperium. Our results highlight the high proportion of women who die from stroke in the puerperium. Sub-standard care featured especially in regard to management of dangerously high systolic blood pressure levels. These deaths highlight the importance of education in managing rapid-onset hypertension and superimposed coagulopathies.
