Novel Algorithm to Help Identify Stroke Mimics
Stroke is a major cause of disability in the United States. A portion of patients presenting with stroke-like symptoms in the emergency room who receive tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) do not end up having a true stroke, leading to unnecessary health-care costs. The aim of our study is to identify those patients who have a high likelihood of experiencing a stroke mimic using a novel stroke mimic score and to identify a cutoff point with a high specificity of ruling in stroke mimics.

Excessive supraventricular ectopic activity and future onset of atrial fibrillation in patients with cryptogenic stroke
Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is a leading preventable cause of ischemic stroke,1,2 after the initial evaluation, approximately 30% of all stroke events are finally characterised as cryptogenic.3,4 However, nowadays with the use of prolonged cardiac rhythm monitoring, studies exist to reveal the existence of silent, subclinical AF in those patients, or even the presence of excessive ectopic atrial activity that may precede it.5,6 In particular, such methods can detect and quantify premature atrial complexes (PACs) and short supraventricular runs (SVRs), which, up until recently, have been considered benign electrophysiological phenomena.

Accuracy of Prehospital Identification of Stroke in a Large Stroke Belt Municipality.
CONCLUSIONS: EMD and EMS personnel in a large city in the Southeastern United States, with high stroke prevalence, had a relatively high sensitivity in identifying acute stroke patients. Paramedic accuracy was augmented by positive CPSS screening and by EMD recognition of stroke.

Factors associated with stroke after COVID-19 vaccination: a statewide analysis
ConclusionConcurrent COVID-19 infection had the strongest association with early ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke after the first dose of COVID-19 vaccination. Although not all determinants of stroke, particularly comorbidities, were considered in this analysis, the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine was associated with a higher risk of early post-vaccination ischemic stroke than BNT162b2.

Determinants of stroke prevalence in the southeastern region of the United States
ConclusionCharacterization of factors associated with stroke prevalence in a region of the USA known for its adverse stroke rates is essential for offsetting the burden of this public health issue and for promoting health.

O-016 Outcomes after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for low national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS): a multicenter study
ConclusionsMT is an effective and safe treatment for appropriately selected ischemic stroke patients presenting with low NIHSS. Diabetes and prior stroke are predictors of functional dependence at 90 days, and prior stroke is also associated with mortality, suggesting that MT should be offered judiciously to patients with these risk factors. Our findings signal the need for a randomized trial comparing MT versus medical management for LVO patients with low NIHSS.Disclosures I. Abecassis: 2; C; IschemaView (Rapid), Remedy Robotics. E.

Depressive Symptoms and Anger Expression Among Survivors After Stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Early detection and management of depression and anger will facilitate patient's compliance to the rehabilitation program in order to achieve optimal therapeutic results and ensure a better quality of life.PMID:37581799 | DOI:10.1007/978-3-031-31986-0_24

Assessment of atherosclerosis in ischemic stroke by means of ultrasound of extracranial/intracranial circulation and serum, urine, and tissue biomarkers
Curr Med Chem. 2022 Aug 17. doi: 10.2174/0929867329666220817123442. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is a common practice to take into consideration: age, diabetes, smoking, treated and untreated systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol for the prediction of atherosclerosis and stroke. There are, however, ultrasound markers in use for the assessment of atherosclerosis and the evaluation of stroke risk. Two areas of investigation are of interest: the carotid artery and the intracranial arterial circulation. Again, within the domain of the carotid artery, two ultrasonic markers have at...
