FLAIR vascular hyperintensity predicts early neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving endovascular thrombectomy
AbstractFluid-attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensity (FVH) is frequently observed in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). FVH is associated with functional outcome at 3  months in AIS patients receiving endovascular thrombectomy. In the present study, we assessed whether FVH predicted early neurological deterioration (END) and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) within 72 h in AIS patients receiving endovascular thrombectomy. We retrospectively analyzed 104 patients with acute internal-carotid-artery or proximal middle-cerebral-artery occlusion within 16 h after symptom onset. Before thrombectomy, all p...

The use of serum glial fibrillary acidic protein test as a promising tool for intracerebral hemorrhage diagnosis in Chinese patients and prediction of the short-term functional outcomes
The objective of this study was to explore the efficacy of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in differentiating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from ischemic stroke (IS). Suspicious patients of acute stroke were screened and finally diagnosed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Blood samples were collected within 2–6 h after onset of symptoms, and serum GFAP level was determined by ELISA assay. The functional outcome for the patients was determined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 90 days after onset of symptoms. 43 ICH patients and 65 IS patients were enrolled. GFAP concentration in ICH group was ...

Serum hepcidin concentrations correlate with serum iron level and outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage
Abstract Iron plays a detrimental role in the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced brain damage, while hepcidin is the most important iron-regulated hormone. Here, we investigate the association between serum hepcidin and serum iron, outcome in patients with ICH. Serum samples of 81 cases with ICH were obtained on consecutive days to detect the levels of hepcidin, iron, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) was measured at admission and on days 7 and 30, and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score was evaluated at 3 months after IC...
