Poststroke dementia is associated with recurrent ischaemic stroke
Conclusions Poststroke dementia predicts recurrence of ischaemic stroke in long-term follow-up and should be considered when estimating prognosis.

Socioeconomic deprivation and provision of acute and long-term care after stroke: the South London Stroke Register cohort study
Conclusions Stroke healthcare inequalities in England exist for some important indicators, although overall it has improved over time. The impact of SED may be stronger in black patients than in white patients. Further efforts are required to achieve stroke care equality.

General medical skills on neurology and stroke wards
This study looks at the difference in the general medical care required in neurology and stroke units and the different skill set required. Methods Prospective data regarding diagnosis and medical complications were collected from 100 patients admitted to a neurology and a stroke ward. Results Stroke unit patients were older (mean age 71.4 yrs; standard deviation 16.3) than those on the neurology ward (47.9;16.8, p=<0.001). The primary diagnosis was neurological in all patients on the neurology ward, but 16% of those on the stroke ward had not had a recent stroke. Attention to general medical issues was required ...

Complexity of heart rate variability predicts outcome in intensive care unit admitted patients with acute stroke
Conclusions In ICU-admitted patients with acute stroke, early assessment of the complexity of HRV by MSE can help in predicting outcomes in patients without AF.

Differential effect of mechanical thrombectomy and intravenous thrombolysis in atrial fibrillation associated stroke
Conclusions In patients treated with MT, comorbid AF is associated with faster procedural time, fewer passes, and increased rates of first pass success without increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage or worse functional outcomes. These results are in contrast to the increased hemorrhage rates and worse functional outcomes observed in AF associated stroke treated with supportive care and or IVT. These data suggest that MT negates the AF penalty in ischemic stroke.

In-thrombus thrombin secretion: a new diagnostic marker of atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke
Conclusions An assay measuring the change in thrombin in clots retrieved during acute stroke endovascular thrombectomy procedures may serve as a diagnostic marker of the origin of the clot. The suggested mechanism for these differences may be the clot location before its retrieval, with high blood flow causing thrombin washout in atherosclerotic clots, in contrast to atrium appendage low blood flow retaining high thrombin levels.

Analysis of microRNA signatures in ischemic stroke thrombus
Conclusions The microRNA expression pattern can provide information regarding the mechanism of stroke by reflecting the underlying pathological status of the organ from which the thrombus was derived.

Predictors of futile recanalization after endovascular treatment in acute ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis
Conclusion This study identified female sex, comorbidities, admission systolic blood pressure, serum glucose, occlusion site, non-bridging therapy, and post-procedural complication as predictors of futile recanalization, and also confirmed previously reported factors. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed.

Early arrival at the emergency department is associated with better collaterals, smaller established infarcts and better clinical outcomes with endovascular stroke therapy: SWIFT study
Conclusions Time was a critical factor in successful clinical outcomes for neurothrombectomy in the SWIFT trial. Shorter times to presentation were associated with better collaterals, smaller established infarcts, and better clinical outcome after revascularization.

Factors associated with successful revascularization using the aspiration component of ADAPT in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke
Conclusions Aspiration success was associated with younger age. Our findings suggest that ADAPT can be used for the vast majority of patients but it may be beneficial to use a different method first in the elderly.

Bridging thrombolysis in atrial fibrillation stroke is associated with increased hemorrhagic complications without improved outcomes
Conclusion In this large thrombectomy registry, AF patients exposed to IVT before MT had increased hemorrhagic complications without improved functional outcomes, in contrast with non-AF patients. Prospective trials are warranted to assess whether AF patients represent a subgroup of LVO patients who may benefit from a direct to thrombectomy approach at thrombectomy capable centers.

Newly detected paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after tia and ischaemic stroke on cardiac monitoring: systematic review and meta-analysis in relation to duration of recording
Conclusion Cardiac monitoring after TIA or ischaemic stroke detects clinically important rates of pAF in studies of unselected populations, with high rates of subsequent anticoagulation. A monitoring period of 5–7 days appears to be adequate.

Preprocedural determination of an occlusion pathomechanism in endovascular treatment of acute stroke: a machine learning-based decision
Conclusions An ML-PM could accurately determine an occlusion pathomechanism with common preprocedural findings. A decision flowchart consisting of the four most influential findings was clinically applicable and superior to single common preprocedural findings for determining an occlusion pathomechanism.
