Reporting “specific abilities” after major stroke to better describe prognosis
If health professionals are to involve major stroke patients and their families in making decisions about treatments, they need to describe prognosis in terms that are easily understood. We suggest that referring to “specific abilities”, such as ability to be independent, walk, talk, eat normally, be continent, live without severe pain, live without major anxiety or depression and to live at home may be more easily understood than terms such as disabled based on the modified Rankin scale (mRs).

Predictive value of discharge destination for 90-day outcomes among ischemic stroke patients eligible for endovascular treatment: Post-hoc analysis of DEFUSE 3
The endovascular treatment (ET) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is increasing among eligible patients. To help address care quality, administrative data sets are utilized but do not usually include formal outcome scales. We explore the predictive ability of discharge destination from acute hospitalizations for long-term disability among AIS patients eligible for ET within a clinical trial.

Treatment Approaches and Outcomes for Acute Anterior Circulation Stroke Patients with Tandem Lesions
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has revolutionized stroke care for large vessel occlusions (LVOs). However, over half treated remain functionally disabled or die. Patients with tandem lesions, or severe stenosis/occlusion of the cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) with intracranial LVO, may have technical EVT challenges and worse outcomes. We sought to compare treatments and outcomes for patients with anterior circulation tandem lesions versus isolated LVOs.

White Matter Acute Infarct Volume After Thrombectomy for Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke is Associated with Long Term Outcomes
Despite the proven efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large vessel occlusion stroke, over half treated remain functionally disabled or die. Infarct topography may have implications for prognostication, patient selection, and the development of tissue-specific neuroprotective agents. We sought to quantify white matter injury in anterior circulation acute infarcts post-EVT to understand its significance and identify its determinants.

Study Protocol for a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase-II Trial: AdrenoMedullin for Ischemic Stroke Study
Acute ischemic stroke (IS) is a devastating disorder closely linking to severe disabilities and poor quality of life. Currently, the only approved treatments are antiplatelet agents and reperfusion therapies; identifying other therapeutic options is necessary and urgent.1 After the onset of blood vessel occlusion, ischemic injury triggers inflammatory cascades in the parenchyma that further amplify tissue damage,2,3 implying the necessity of anti-inflammatory treatment from the very acute phase of IS.

Effects of Motor Imagery as a Complementary Resource on the Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Motor imagery is a technique that can be utilized in the rehabilitation process to improve the lives of patients with a functional disability acquired by this pathology.

Osuntokun Award Lecture 2021: Challenges of Measuring the Burden of Stroke in Africa
Over recent years non-communicable diseases have dramatically increased in low- and middle-income countries, including those of sub-Saharan Africa. With continuing high levels of infectious disease, these countries now face the double burden of disease. Stroke has emerged as a major cause of hospital admission, disability, and mortality for which the major modifiable risk factor is hypertension, which is often not diagnosed and, even if diagnosed, not treated and, even if treated, not controlled.

Comparison of Transcallosal Inhibition Between Hemispheres and Its Relationship with Motor Behavior in Patients with Severe Upper Extremity Impairment After Subacute Stroke
Stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide and is the most important cause of long-term disability in the adult population.1 It leads to persistent impairment in the arm and hand in over 50% of survivors, often for the rest of their lives.2 In the past two decades, a great deal of research has demonstrated that limitations in the recovery of functional hand movements despite intensive rehabilitation are often linked to abnormalities in cortical activity patterns.3,4

Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor increases proliferation, Migration and differentiation of subventricular zone neuroblasts in photothrombotic stroke model of mouse
Cerebral ischemic stroke can induce the proliferation of subventricular zone (SVZ) neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult brain. However, this reparative process is restricted because of NSCs ’ death shortly after injury or disability of them to reach the infarct boundary. In the present study, we investigated the ability of cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) on the attraction of SVZ-resident NSCs toward the lesioned area and neurological recovery in a photothrombotic (PT) st roke model of mice

Effect of race/ethnicity on arterial recanalization following intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke patients
Several reports have identified that clinical outcomes such as death or disability in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients following intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) treatment can vary according to race and ethnicities. We determined the effect of race/ethnicity on rates of arterial recanalization in AIS patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) after IV tPA.
