Circulating MicroRNAs as Biomarkers for Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review
Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Unlike myocardial infarction, there is no current blood test to diagnose acute ischemic stroke. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are very stable in the blood and have been suggested as potential diagnostic markers.

Improving Cognitive Function in Patients with Stroke: Can Computerized Training Be the Future?
Cognitive impairment after stroke is common and can cause disability with a high impact on quality of life and independence. Cognitive rehabilitation is a therapeutic approach designed to improve cognitive functioning after central nervous system's injuries. Computerized cognitive rehabilitation (CCR) uses multimedia and informatics resources to optimize cognitive compromised performances. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of pc cognitive training with Erica software in patients with stroke.

Antithrombotic Therapy Strategy for Cancer-Associated Ischemic Stroke: A Case Series of 26 Patients
The risk of complications from thromboembolism is increased for patients with malignancy. Cancer-associated stroke is also a serious issue with regard to the management of patients with cancer because stroke incidence often causes disabilities that affect daily life and cancer treatment strategy.

Effects of l-Carnitine Supplementation, Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection, and Rehabilitation for a Chronic Stroke Patient
Botulinum neurotoxin injection therapy and rehabilitation have been conducted for stroke patients to reduce the spasticity of their affected limbs and improve their walking ability and daily living. Furthermore, their disability was reported to be related to muscle wasting. Supplementation of l-carnitine was reported to improve physical endurance and was used to treat sarcopenia in, for example, patients with cancer. Here, we report a case of chronic stroke with muscle wasting in a patient with improved walking endurance by l-carnitine supplementation, botulinum neurotoxin injection, and rehabilitation.

Increased Serum Alkaline Phosphatase in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability and death. Higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels have been associated with poor functional outcomes and mortality in previous studies. We investigated alterations in serum ALP concentrations and functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Lacunar Stroke in Cryptococcal Meningitis: Clinical and Radiographic Features
Cryptococcal meningitis carries a high mortality, and survivors are left with considerable neurologic sequelae and marked disability. We lack a clear understanding of the pathogenesis of neurologic sequelae and description of stroke features in this population. We aim to describe clinical and radiographic features and predictors of stroke in a cohort of patients with cryptococcal meningitis.

Contribution of Onset-to-Alarm Time to Prehospital Delay in Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) improves the clinical outcome when administered properly; however, the most important factor to receive tPA is time. The main reason for late hospital arrival is a considerable delay in onset-to-alarm time (OAT), comprising more than 50% of the onset-to-door time. Aims: To identify the factors associated with a delay in OAT and evaluate its contribution to onset-to-door time in ischemic stroke patients.

Time Intervals for Direct Versus Transfer Cases of Thrombectomy for Stroke in a Primarily Rural System of Care
Background: Early treatment is the key to a successful recovery for ischemic stroke patients. From time of onset, a patient's chances of permanent disability only increase until they can receive reperfusion intervention. Objective: We sought to identify potential delays that occur during evaluation and treatment of patients in a rural regional health system. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective review of all patients that arrived at our comprehensive stroke center (CSC) between July 2011 and March 2017, and received thrombectomy, with or without prior treatment with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.

Association between electrocardiographic and echocardiographic atrial abnormalities and prognosis in cryptogenic stroke
The role of atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke (CS) is well known. However, the usefulness of left atrial (LA) electrical and morphological abnormalities to identify more disabling strokes in sinus rhythm patients is less studied. We evaluated the association between electrocardiographic P-wave abnormalities and echocardiographic LA measures with neurological disability in patients with cryptogenic stroke.

Effect of Informational Support on Anxiety in Family Caregivers of Patients with Hemiplegic Stroke
Brain stroke is the most common cause of permanent disability worldwide and has a serious negative impact on the lives of patients and their families.1,2 Due to the unexpected and sudden occurrence of stroke, the family members of the patients inflicted with this condition are confronted with adverse consequences. Accordingly, they should adapt themselves to this condition and its associated complications. Moreover, they should play the role of a caregiver, which causes shock, anxiety, and depression in the patient family.

Recurrent Ischemic Stroke – A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Recurrent ischemic stroke (IS) remains a challenge even with improved neuroimaging, acute stroke management, and disseminated use of secondary prevention.1 The consequences of recurrent IS are more extensive cerebrovascular impairments resulting in additional physical and cognitive disability, and significant social impact.
