YouTube as a source of patient information for stroke: A content-quality and an audience engagement analysis
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide following ischemic heart disease, and the fifth in the United States. The video-sharing database, YouTube, is the second most popular visited website with more than 2 billion users, thus it's increasingly being used as a medium for delivering health information.

The Effect of a County Prehospital FAST-ED Initiative on Endovascular Treatment Times
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, with approximately 140,000 deaths per year, and a cost of $34 billion per year.1 The most severe strokes are caused by large vessel occlusions (LVOs) which benefit the most from timely endovascular thrombectomy. In the US this therapy is reliably available only at thrombectomy-capable and comprehensive stroke centers (TSCs and CSCs, respectively).2 It is therefore important that patients with LVO stroke are identified promptly as such and triaged appropriately to the right facility type.

Malignant Cerebral Ischemia in A COVID-19 Infected Patient: Case Review and Histopathological Findings
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for an unprecedented worldwide pandemic that has severely impacted the United States. As the pandemic continues, a growing body of evidence suggests that infected patients may develop significant coagulopathy with resultant thromboembolic complications including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. However, this data is limited and comes from recent small case series and observational studies on stroke types, mechanisms, and outcomes.

Intravenous tPA for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients with COVID-19
We present a multicenter case series from 9 centers in the United States of patients with acute neurological deficits consistent with AIS and COVID-19 who were treated with IV tPA.Results: We identified 13 patients (mean age 62 ( ±9.8) years, 9 (69.2%) male).

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Severe Pre-Stroke Disability
Frequency and outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in clinical practice for patients with severe pre-stroke disability are largely unknown. In this case series, we aim to describe the disability make-up and outcomes of 33 patients with severe pre-stroke disability undergoing MT. Patients with a permanent, severe, pre-stroke disability (modified Rankin Score, mRS, 4-5) were identified from a prospectively-maintained database of consecutive, MT-treated, anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke patients at two comprehensive stroke centers in the United States.

Transient Ischemic Attack: The Trend and Readmissions in the United States
: Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary event of neurological dysfunction. Patients with TIA may be discharged from the Emergency Department or following an observational admission since their symptoms have resolved. Some portion of these patients, however, return to the hospital due to various reasons. The aim of our study is to find the trend of TIA readmissions in the United States.

Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment in United States
There is accumulating data suggesting that the ischemic stroke may be increased in patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to hyper coagulopathy1,2. An increase in acute ischemic stroke patients who require mechanical thrombectomy is to be expected particularly in regions with high rates of COVID-191.

In defense of our patients: indirect negative neurological consequences of sars-cov-2 in the new york epicenter
New York has become the epicenter in the United States for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with approximately 202,829 infected, 52,697 hospitalized, and 17,055 confirmed deaths as of June 5, 2020.15 The large influx of critically ill patients resulted in widespread policy and practice changes to counter this new resource-limited setting. All elective surgeries were cancelled. Urgent cases required approval and were limited significantly, resulting in primarily emergency cases.

The interplay between COVID 19 and non-communicable diseases
Since the coronavirus designated as COVID-19 emerged as a global pathogen in late 2019, there has been rapid spread across the globe. After originating in China, several high-income countries such as Italy, Spain, United States, and the United Kingdom have had high case prevalence and high levels of mortality.

Comparison of risk factors, treatment, and outcome in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease in India and the United States
Conclusion: Compared to patients in US with symptomatic ICAD, Indian patients were younger and had more severe strokes. However, Indian patients had lower rates of recurrent stroke, perhaps due to greater use of dual antiplatelet therapy.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is penetrating to dementia research.
Abstract 1. Introduction Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was first reported in Wuhan, China, in late December, 2019. Despite the tremendous efforts to control the disease, SARS-CoV-2 has infected 1,5 million people and caused the death of more than a hundred thousand people across the globe as of writing. Recently, Mao et al. [1] investigated the penetration potential of SARS-CoV-2 into the central nervous system in 214 patients. They reported that 36.4% of the patients had some neurologic findings which are ranged from nonsp...

Expansion of the dimensions in the current management of acute ischemic stroke
AbstractStroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States with a huge burden on health care. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) accounts for 87% of all stroke. The use of thrombolytic agents in AIS treatment is well known since 1950 but no FDA approval until 1996, due to lack of strong evidence showing benefits outweigh the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. The NINDS trial led to the approval of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator treatment (IV recombinant tPA) within 3  h of stroke. Due to this limitation of 3–4.5 h. window, evolution began in the development of effective endovascular therapy (EVT). Multipl...

Impact of Race-Ethnic and Economic Disparities on Rates of Vascular Dementia in the National Inpatient Sample Database from 2006-2014
We have previously reported regional differences in the rates of vascular dementia (VD) in the United States (US), with the West having lower rates of VD diagnosis found in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database. We aimed to determine if these regional differences were associated with race-ethnic disparities in economic status or prevalence of the stroke risk factors hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.

Social Network Simulation Identifies Persistent Racial Disparities Of Delay To Hospital In Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Delayed arrival to the hospital remains the major reason for not deploying stroke therapies. In the United States, minority patients have longer delays that have not been adequately understood nor acted upon. Social context plays a key role, because most strokes occur in front of witnesses who influence decision-making. We created a social network simulation to understand the interpersonal factors that influence decision-making following acute stroke, particularly in minority patients.
