Risk factors for ischemic stroke post bone fracture
Publication date: Available online 7 November 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Qi An, Zhe Chen, Kang Huo, Hua Su, Qiu-Min QuAbstractStroke is one of the most devastating complications after bone fracture. However, due to the rarity of the complication, the risk factor for post fracture stroke remains unknown. We retrospectively reviewed 2914 fractured adults referred to the first affiliated hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, a regional referral center of China, from January 2008 to May 2013. As a result, among the 2914 patients, 13 of them had newly onset stroke within a median of 4 days after...

“In Safe Hands” – A costly integrated care program with limited benefits in stroke unit care
Publication date: Available online 6 November 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Sheila Jala, Sarah Giaccari, Melissa Passer, Carin Bertmar, Susan Day, Dayna Griffith, Martin KrauseAbstractGiven reported favourable outcomes of accountable care unit models of health care delivery (Taylor et al., 2017; Stein et al., 2015; Kara et al., 2015), the Clinical Excellence Commission of NSW has embraced “In Safe Hands” (ISH) to enhance coordination of care. ISH embraces the structured interdisciplinary bedside round (SIBR) component, for which reported outcomes include reduced length of stay (Taylor et al., 2...

Efficacy and safety of drug-eluting stent for the intracranial atherosclerotic disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 3 November 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Gengfan Ye, Xiaoliang Yin, Ximeng Yang, Junjie Wang, Peng Qi, Jun Lu, Lijun Wang, Daming WangAbstractDrug-eluting stent (DES) is a potential endovascular treatment for patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease (sICAD). However, evidence regarding the treatment of ICAD with DES is lacking. We systematically searched Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane database (before 2017-12-21) for literature reporting the application of DES in the treatment of sICAD. The main outcomes were as follows: the incidence of any stroke...

Iron nanoparticle contrast enhanced microwave imaging for emergent stroke: A pilot study
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Joseph S. Hudson, Timothy K. Chung, Benjamin S. Prout, Yasunori Nagahama, Madhavan L. Raghavan, David M. HasanAbstractEmergent stroke is mostly evaluated using hospital based imaging. Quick imaging allows for rapid administration of IV thrombolysis and outcome improvement. Microwave imaging (MI) is an emerging portable imaging modality. Iron oxide nanoparticles are known to interact with microwave frequency electromagnetic radiation. In this manuscript, we provide proof of concept for a novel iron oxide nanoparticle enhance...

A swine model of intracellular cerebral edema – Cerebral physiology and intracranial compliance
We describe a swine model of water intoxication and its cerebral histological and physiological sequela. We studied female swine weighing 35–45 kg. Four serum sodium intervals were designated: baseline, mild, moderate, and severe hyponatremia attained by infusing hypotonic saline. Intracranial fluid injections were performed to assess intracranial compliance. At baseline and following water intoxication wedge biopsy was obtained for pathological examination and electron microscopy. We studied 8 swine and found an increase in ICP that was strongly related to the decrease in serum sodium level. Mean ICP rose from a basel...

Emergency medical services for acute ischemic stroke: Hub-and-spoke model versus exclusive care in comprehensive centers
ConclusionsUsing a comprehensive all-payer cohort of acute ischemic stroke patients in New York State we demonstrated that patients treated in a hub-and-spoke model were not associated with worse outcomes than patients receiving care exclusively in comprehensive institutions. This needs to be taken into consideration when considering acute emergency services in this setting.

Impact of risk factors for recurrence after the first ischemic stroke in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 16 October 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Shengbang Zheng, Baodong YaoAbstractRisk factors for first-ever stroke have been studied extensively, while those for recurrent stroke are not accurately understood. To provide the adequate secondary prevention for the patients, it is necessary to reveal the risk factors that dominate recurrent stroke. Multiple databases were adopted to search for the relevant studies and full-text articles involving in the risk factors for stroke recurrence were reviewed. Meta-analyses were performed with Review Manager 5.0 to estimate the...

The cooking therapy for cognitive rehabilitation of cerebellar damage: A case report and a review of the literature
ConclusionThe comparison of our data with those reported in previous studies confirmed the Schmahmann’s hypothesis on the effectiveness of neurorehabilitation approaches in cerebellar patients acting as external timekeeping of conscious thoughts.Graphical abstractThe cooking therapy framework for the rehabilitation of the cerebellar patients. The patient underwent 18 levels divided into three courses (starter, pasta, and main) X 2 food meals (meat-fish) X 3 levels of difficulty (1°–2°–3° meal). Tomato sauce is the main food, which is prepared each time for every single meal. All cooking levels started with the pre...

Impact of small vessel disease on severity of motor and cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease
ConclusionsThis study demonstrates an association between SVD and motor impairment, and between vascular risk factors, particularly hypertension, and dementia in PD and highlights the need to manage vascular co-morbidities in PD patients.

Activation of mirror neuron system during gait observation in sub-acute stroke patients and healthy persons
In this study, we sequentially enrolled five sub-acute stroke patients who had undergone gait training and nine healthy persons. We used fMRI to detect neuronal activation during gait observation. During the observation period in the stroke group, neural activity in the left inferior parietal lobule, right and left inferior frontal gyrus was significantly higher than during the rest period. In the healthy group, neural activity in the left inferior parietal lobule, left inferior frontal gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus, left superior temporal lobule and right and left middle temporal gyrus was significantly higher than dur...

Acute reversal of dabigatran with Idarucizumab for intravenous thrombolysis as acute stroke treatment
We describe the case of a 73 year old male with AIS and active dabigatran use. Idarucizumab was administered per an approved medical center protocol and the patient was subsequently treated with IV rt-PA. The patient had a severe stroke with no other contraindications to IV rt-PA other than dabigatran use. The patient was administered Idarucizumab and IV rt-PA was given. Within 24 h of treatment, the patient had minimal stroke deficits. Imaging revealed a right middle cerebral artery patchy infarct. The patient was restarted on dabigatran therapy for his atrial fibrillation and was discharged to a skilled nursing facil...

Association of serum lipids with clinical outcome in acute ischaemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
This study aimed at assessing the association between serum lipid and clinical outcomes in acute ischaemic stroke. Relevant data were obtained from Cochrane Library, PubMed and Web of Science databases. The heterogeneity of pooled results was determined by the Cochran’s Q test and Higgins I-squared statistic. The random-effect model was performed to calculate the pooled results if PH < 0.05 for Q-test, otherwise the fixed-effect model was applied. The primary results were death, and the secondary were recurrence, dependency, mRS score ≥3, and early neurological deterioration. A total of 21 full-text studies was...
