Cause-specific Mortality after Stroke: Relation to Age, Sex, Stroke Severity, and Risk Factors in a 10-Year Follow-up Study
We investigated cause-specific mortality in relation to age, sex, stroke severity, and cardiovascular risk factor profile in the Copenhagen Stroke Study cohort with 10 years of follow-up. In a Copenhagen community, all patients admitted to the hospital with stroke during 1992-1993 (n = 988) were registered on admission. Evaluation included stroke severity, computed tomography scan, and a cardiovascular risk profile. Cause of death within 10 years according to death certificate information was classified as stroke, heart/arterial disease, or nonvascular disease. Competing-risks analyses were performed by cause-specific Co...

Wake-up Stroke Within 3 Hours of Symptom Awareness: Imaging and Clinical Features Compared to Standard Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treated Stroke
Background: Patients with wake-up stroke (WUS) are excluded from thrombolysis because of unknown time of symptom onset. Previous studies have reported similar stroke severity and early ischemic changes (EICs) in patients with WUS and stroke of known onset. These studies, however, included patients within a large timeframe to imaging or did not quantify EICs. The aim of our study was to quantify EICs of patients with WUS presenting within 3 hours of symptom recognition compared to standard 3-hours recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA)–treated patients and assess the extent of ischemic lesion and functional ind...

Acute Kidney Injury Is Associated with Increased Hospital Mortality after Stroke
Conclusions: AKI occurs frequently after stroke and is associated with increased hospital mortality. Additional studies are needed to establish if the association is causal and if measures to prevent AKI would result in decreased mortality.

Pooled Assessment of Computed Tomography Interpretation by Vascular Neurologists in the STRokE DOC Telestroke Network
Conclusions: Both vascular neurologists and reports from spoke radiologists had excellent reliability in identifying radiologic rt-PA contraindications. These pooled findings demonstrate that telestroke evaluation of head CT scans for acute rt-PA assessments is reliable.

Evaluating Middle Cerebral Artery Atherosclerotic Lesions in Acute Ischemic Stroke Using Magnetic Resonance T1-weighted 3-Dimensional Vessel Wall Imaging
Background: Atherosclerotic lesions in intracranial arteries are a leading cause of ischemic stroke. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is often used to assess atherosclerotic changes by detecting luminal narrowing, whereas it cannot directly visualize atherosclerotic lesions. Here, we used a 3-dimensional vessel wall imaging (3D-VWI) technique to evaluate intracranial arterial wall changes in acute stroke.Methods: Eighteen consecutive patients with acute noncardioembolic stroke in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory who were prospectively examined with a 1.5-T magnetic resonance scanner were studied. T1-weighted ...

Time to ct scan imaging after symptom onset among ischeamic stroke patients presenting to a quaternary hospital in ghana
This study sought to determine the time of onset of symptoms to the time a CT imaging was done among patients presenting with acute stroke at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

Nascent Deep Microbleeds and Stroke Recurrences
This study investigated the contributions of nascent deep MBs to stroke recurrence.Methods: We prospectively analyzed nascent deep MBs in patients admitted to our hospital who were treated for index strokes between April 2004 and November 2009. The number of nascent deep MBs was counted on T2∗-weighted MRI scans around 1 year after the index strokes, and compared to previous MRIs on admission. Stroke recurrence–free rate curves were generated using the Kaplan–Meier method using the log-rank test. The odds ratio for nascent deep MBs was derived using a multivariate logistic regression model that was based on recurren...

Investigating the Utility of Previously Developed Prediction Scores in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients in the Stroke Belt
Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that although highly predictive of outcome in the original study design treatment groups, prediction scores may not generalize to all patient samples, highlighting the importance of validating prediction scores in diverse samples.

Effects of Candesartan in the Acute Phase of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Background and Purpose: Uncertainty persists over the effects of blood pressure-lowering treatment in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We assessed the effects of treatment with candesartan in acute ICH and according to different types of hematoma. Methods: Post-hoc analysis of the Scandinavian Candesartan Acute Stroke Trial, a randomized- and placebo-controlled, double-masked trial of candesartan in patients with any stroke within the acute phase (

Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Therapy for an Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient with Later Diagnosed Unilateral Moyamoya Syndrome
We report the use of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) therapy in a 38-year-old patient who was later diagnosed with unilateral moyamoya syndrome. The patient had a sudden onset of unconsciousness, vomiting, dysarthria, and tetraparesis. A neurologic examination revealed consciousness disturbance, right central facial nerve palsy, dysarthria, and tetraparesis with bilateral exotropia and horizontal gaze palsy. A magnetic resonance imaging scan on admission did not reveal fresh cerebral infarction or hemorrhage, but magnetic resonance angiography revealed severe stenosis at the terminal portion of left interna...

Subacute Elevation of Plasma Level of Caspase-Cleaved Cytokeratin-18 is Associated with Hemorrhagic Transformation and Functional Outcome in Ischemic Stroke
Background: Caspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 (CCCK-18) is an apoptosis marker. Here, we analyzed the relationship between plasma level of CCCK-18 in the acute and subacute stage of ischemic stroke and early and late functional outcome. Besides, correlation among CCCK-18 and complications, such as hemorrhagic transformation (HT) were also explored. Methods: Plasma concentration of CCCK-18 was investigated in 54 patients at admission and poststroke 72 hours. HT was evaluated by CT scans on 24 poststroke hours.

Cardiac Arrhythmias and Acute Cerebrovascular Events: A Case of QT Prolongation and Torsades de Pointes Early After Right Insular Stroke
Stroke involving some areas of the cerebral hemisphere, such as insula, amygdala, and lateral hypothalamus, may cause changes in autonomic control of cardiac function. A 58-year-old woman presented to the emergency department for acute onset of left facial-brachial-crural hemiparesis and dysarthria. A brain CT scan showed subacute ischemic lesion with hemorrhagic infarction in right insular-rolandic cortex. Over the next few days ECG showed severe bradycardia with elongation of QTc, significative pauses (5 seconds), runs of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and torsades de pointes.
