Assessing the efficacy of endovascular therapy in stroke treatments: updates from the new generation of trials.
Authors: Walker GB, Jadhav AP, Jovin TG Abstract INTRODUCTION: For the past 20 years, intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been the only proven treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Large arteries such as the internal carotid artery, the middle cerebral artery and the basilar artery supply blood to large volumes of brain tissue. When occluded, these vessels may have low response rates to rt-PA resulting in devastating injury and death. . Areas Covered: In 2013, three trials evaluating the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke were neutral, however, lessons learned from these...

Acupuncture and constraint-induced movement therapy for a patient with chronic stroke: One-year follow-up case report
This report describes the successful addition of acupuncture on spasticity and arm function in a patient with chronic stroke and arm paresis. Patient concerns: At screening, the patient was unable to voluntarily extend her interphalangeal or metacarpophalangeal joints beyond the 10 degrees required for constraint-induced movement therapy. However, the BTX type A injection couldn’t be used as she had ever suffered a severe allergic reaction in the injection of BTX type A for facial anti-wrinkle. Diagnoses: A 40-year-old female experienced arm paresis after an infarction in the right posterior limb of the internal ca...

Restoration of the corticoreticular pathway following shunt operation for hydrocephalus in a stroke patient
We report on a stroke patient who showed restoration of discontinued corticoreticular pathways (CRPs) on serial diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) concurrent with recovery of gait disturbance following shunt operation for hydrocephalus.Patient concerns:A 67-year-old female patient underwent stereotactic drainage for management of intraventricular hemorrhage due to a rupture of the left posterior communicating artery.Diagnoses:After 4 weeks from onset, the patient exhibited quadriparesis with more severe weakness in the proximal muscles and could not even stand or walk. She underwent comprehensive rehabilitation for 3 week...

Fu's subcutaneous needling and constraint-induced movement therapy for a patient with chronic stroke: One-year follow-up case report
This report describes the successful addition of acupuncture on spasticity and arm function in a patient with chronic stroke and arm paresis. Patient concerns: The patient suffered an infarction in the right posterior limb of the internal capsule 1 year ago, which resulted in hemiparesis in his left (nondominant) hand and arm. The only limitation for constraint-induced movement therapy was insufficient finger extension. The patient was unable to voluntarily extend his interphalangeal or metacarpophalangeal joints beyond the 10 degrees required for constraint-induced movement therapy. However, his muscle tension did no...

Thrombolysis in an acute ischemic stroke patient with rivaroxaban anticoagulation: A case report
Rationale: Whether intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-TPA) therapy can be administered in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs), including rivaroxaban, remains controversial. Patient concerns: A 76-year-old woman with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, who had been receiving 15 mg rivaroxaban once daily, was brought to the emergency department with right-side hemiparesis and aphasia. The onset of neurological deficits occurred 8 hours after the last dose of rivaroxaban administration. Diagnosis: The patient was diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke. Int...

Developmental venous anomaly associated ischemic stroke caused by minor head trauma: A case report
We report a case of ischemic stroke in the area of a DVA after minor head trauma in a patient with DVA and without a predisposition thrombosis. Patient concerns: A healthy 17-year-old male was admitted to the emergency room due to left hemiparesis, which was caused by a ball hitting the right side of his head during a soccer game. Diagnosis: Brain magnetic resonance (MR) susceptibility-weighted image showed several small veins draining to the central vein in the area from the right posterior putamen to the periventricular white matter. Interventions: We diagnosed the patient with an ischemic stroke associated with...

SARS ‐CoV2 disease seen through the prism of acutely decompensated chronic kidney disease and ischemic stroke: What lesson we have learned from using prophylaxis therapy of vascular thromboembolism?
Our case underlines the tight management of antithrombotic therapy in the context of acutely decompensated chronic kidney disease, ischemic stroke, and SARS ‐CoV2 infection, the development of stroke as a SARS‐CoV2 complication increase the chances of adverse outcomes that may be mitigated by a rapid recognition and institution of available treatments.

Movement Matters, and So Does Context: Lessons Learned from Multisite Implementation of the Movement Matters Activity Program for Stroke in the COMPASS Study
The purpose of this Special Communication is to discuss the rationale and design of the Movement Matters Activity Program for Stroke (MMAP) and explore implementation successes and challenges in home health and outpatient therapy practices across the stroke belt state of North Carolina. MMAP is an interventional component of the COMprehensive Post-Acute Stroke Services (COMPASS) Study, a randomized multicenter pragmatic trial of stroke transitional care. MMAP was designed to maximize survivor health, recovery, and functional independence in the community and to promote evidence-based rehabilitative care.

Can body awareness training improve recovery following stroke: A study to assess feasibility and preliminary efficacy
CONCLUSIONS: Body awareness training was safe, feasible and acceptable in people with stroke. Individuals in the class-based group showed greater benefit compared to those receiving home-based therapy.PMID:35243909 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221083492

A review of decision support, risk communication and patient information tools for thrombolytic treatment in acute stroke: lessons for tool developers
Conclusions: Tools to support decision making or patient understanding in the treatment of acute stroke with thrombolysis have been sub-optimally developed. Development of tools should utilise mixed methods and strategies to meaningfully involve clinicians, patients and their relatives in an iterative design process; include evidence-based methods to augment interpretability of textual and probabilistic information (e.g. graphical displays showing natural frequencies) on the full range of outcome states associated with available options; and address patients with different levels of health literacy. Implementation of tools...

Who Must We Target Now to Minimize Future Cardiovascular Events and Total Mortality?: Lessons From the Surveillance, Prevention and Management of Diabetes Mellitus (SUPREME-DM) Cohort Study Original Articles
Conclusions— To sustain improvements in myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and mortality, health systems that have successfully focused on care improvement in high-risk adults with DM or CVD must broaden their improvement strategies to target lower risk adults who have not yet developed DM or CVD.
