Modulation by the Noble Gas Helium of Tissue Plasminogen Activator: Effects in a Rat Model of Thromboembolic Stroke*
Conclusions: In a clinical perspective for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, these data suggest that helium 1) should not be administered before or together with tissue plasminogen activator therapy due to the risk of inhibiting the benefit of tissue plasminogen activator–induced thrombolysis; and 2) could be an efficient neuroprotective agent if given after tissue plasminogen activator–induced reperfusion.

Serum albumin level is associated with the recurrence of acute ischemic stroke
Previous studies have confirmed that low serum albumin levels in acute ischemic stroke patients increased the risk for poor outcome and death, demonstrating the neuroprotective role of albumin. However, there are few studies investigating the relationship between albumin levels and recurrence of stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of serum albumin level on the risk of recurrence in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Helicopter Scene Response for Stroke Patients: A 5-Year Experience
Conclusion Using a 3-step EMS triage for acute CVA, air medical transport from the scene to a comprehensive stroke center allowed for the timely administration of tissue plasminogen activator and/or a neurointerventional procedure in a substantive percentage of patients. Further investigation into air medical scene response for acute stroke is warranted.

Fatal hemopericardium after intravenous recombinant transplasminogeen activator (rt-PA) for acute ischemic stroke
Intravenous recombinant transplasminogeen activator (rt-PA) treatment is considered as standard acute phase treatment in ischemic stroke. In the initial stroke guidelines, recent myocardial infarction (MI) was listed as a contraindication for rt-PA treatment due to the increased risk of myocardial wall rupture. However, in the recent American Heart Association/American Stroke Association guideline, it is regarded only as a relative contraindication, and in the European guidelines, currently it is not listed as a contraindication.

Review article: Why is there still a debate regarding the safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis in the management of presumed acute ischaemic stroke? A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsThere is clear evidence of increased early mortality, increased rates of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage and also of improved functional outcomes for patients with presumed acute ischaemic stroke treated with thrombolysis. The available data are unlikely to resolve the controversy regarding the use of intravenous thrombolysis in this population, and further randomised controlled trials are urgently required.

Prehospital Systolic Blood Pressure is Higher in Acute Stroke Compared with Stroke Mimics
Elevated blood pressure (BP) in patients with acute stroke is common and associated with poor outcomes. Previous, limited data suggests that acute BP reduction improves outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recent pilot studies have suggested pre-hospital BP lowering strategies but at this point pre-hospital blood pressure in patients with acute stroke are poorly understood.

Prehospital Acute Stroke Severity Scale to Predict Large Artery Occlusion: Design and comparison with other scales
Ischemic stroke patients need early initiation of appropriate therapy to achieve optimal outcomes. Among patients with ischemic stroke that have emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) improved outcomes are noted with endovascular therapy (EVT) versus thrombolysis. However, ELVO is provided at Comprehensive Stroke Centers which may necessitate longer transport times which could be detrimental to patients who only need thrombolysis.

Utility of point of care assessment of platelet reactivity (using the PFA-100 ®) to aid in diagnosis of stroke
Rapid and accurate diagnosis of patients presenting with symptoms of stroke is needed to facilitate the timely delivery of proven effective treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).The aim of this study was to determine whether early assessment of platelet reactivity in patients presenting with symptoms of AIS was associated with a diagnosis of AIS, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or stroke mimic.

Parental Care –Seeking Behavior and Prehospital Timelines of Care in Childhood Arterial Ischemic Stroke
While it is well known that failure to recognize stroke symptoms or seek timely care precludes acute stroke treatment in adults, little is known about the barriers to time sensitive emergency department (ED) presentation in childhood arterial ischemic stroke.

An educational intervention allows for greater prehospital recognition of acute stroke
We performed a study to determine whether a brief educational intervention directed at pre-hospital providers would increase the identification of stroke victims in the pre-hospital setting. The purpose of this IRB approved, before-and-after research project was to determine whether the implementation of Advanced Stroke Life Support Class (ASLS) [1] training for pre-hospital providers would lead to improved field identification of stroke.
