Acute diffuse and transient thyroid swelling after intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke: A case report
Rationale: Intravenous thrombolysis is the primary therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but it has some complications, including symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, orolingual angioedema, and extracranial bleeding. However, thyroid disorders associated with thrombolysis are very rare. Patient concerns: A 56-year-old man developed acute pain and neck swelling after thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.

Effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation for wrist rehabilitation after acute ischemic stroke
This study investigated the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for patients with wrist dysfunction after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A total of 82 patient cases with wrist dysfunction after AIS were selected in this study. Of these, 41 cases in the intervention group received physical training and NMES treatment. The other 41 cases in the control group received physical training only. The primary outcome was measured by Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) score. The secondary outcomes were measured by the Barthel Index (BI), and numerical rating scale (NRS). After 4-week treatment, patients in the ...

A review of carotid and vertebral artery dissection
This article reviews the literature to provide practical information for clinicians to recognise key risk factors and features of history and examination which should raise suspicion of cervical artery dissection. Diagnosis can now be made using the non-invasive, commonly available modalities of computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography. Timely treatment with antithrombotic agents is recommended to reduce the rate of an ischaemic stroke.PMID:35506728 | DOI:10.12968/hmed.2021.0421
