Deep brain stimulation for movement disorders after stroke: a systematic review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first systematic review of DBS for poststroke movement disorders. Overall, most studies to date have been case reports and small series reporting heterogeneous patients and surgical strategies. This review suggests that DBS for movement disorders after a stroke has the potential to be effective and safe for diverse patients, and DBS may be a feasible option to improve function even years after a stroke.PMID:36308482 | DOI:10.3171/2022.8.JNS221334

P-017 Triple therapy versus dual antiplatelet therapy for dolichoectatic vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms treated with flow-diverters: the last frontier?
ConclusionsPatients with dolichoectatic VBFAs treated with flow-diversion and kept under triple therapy had less ischemic strokes, less progression of symptoms and overall better outcomes at last follow-up than similar patients kept under DAPT.Disclosures A.

Predictors of 30-day hospital readmission after mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The study data demonstrate that hypertension, length of hospital stay, and hemorrhagic conversion were predictors of 30-day hospital readmission in stroke patients after mechanical thrombectomy. Infection was the most common cause of 30-day readmission, followed by cardiac and cerebrovascular diagnoses. These results therefore may serve to identify patients within the stroke population who require increased surveillance following discharge to reduce complications and unplanned readmissions.

DEFUSE-3 Trial: Reinforcing Evidence for Extended Endovascular Intervention Time Window for Ischemic Stroke
The incidence of ischemic stroke in the United States is 3.29 per 1000 persons per year, making it the first and fourth greatest causes of disability and mortality, respectively.1 Previous randomized clinical trials (RCTs) investigating acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO) have shown that endovascular intervention is clinically beneficial when performed within 6 hours of onset.2-7 A few of these RCTs had perfusion imaging inclusion criteria, showing superior results when compared with similar RCTs without such criteria.

Woodrow Wilson's hidden stroke of 1919: the impact of patient-physician confidentiality on United States foreign policy.
Abstract World War I catapulted the United States from traditional isolationism to international involvement in a major European conflict. Woodrow Wilson envisaged a permanent American imprint on democracy in world affairs through participation in the League of Nations. Amid these defining events, Wilson suffered a major ischemic stroke on October 2, 1919, which left him incapacitated. What was probably his fourth and most devastating stroke was diagnosed and treated by his friend and personal physician, Admiral Cary Grayson. Grayson, who had tremendous personal and professional loyalty to Wilson, kept the severit...
