Early apixaban therapy after ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsSymptomatic HT rates are likely to be low in randomized trials of DOAC initiation post-stroke. Recurrent ischemic stroke may be the major clinical outcome. These data may be used as expected event rates when calculating sample size requirements for future safety/efficacy trials of early versus late DOAC initiation after AF-related stroke.

Inter-hospital transfer for mechanical thrombectomy within the supraregional stroke network NEVAS
ConclusionWithin a telemedicine network stroke care can successfully be organized as only a minority of patients has to be transferred. Our data provide clinical evidence that all MT-eligible patients should be shipped with the fastest transportation modality as possible.

Relationship between ischemic stroke locations, etiology subtypes, neurological outcomes, and autonomic cardiac function.
CONCLUSIONS: HRV measured after admission is related to the AIS infarction basin, TOAST subtypes, and neurological outcomes at discharge suggesting a possible role for HRV in evaluating AIS and identifying high-risk patients. PMID: 32701421 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Using a  Manually Expandable Stent Retriever (Tigertriever)
ConclusionThe Tigertriever offers a  safe and effective treatment option in ischemic stroke due to LVOs with reperfusion rates and a safety profile similar to alternative devices. The Tigertriever is a promising bail-out tool in complex cases. Its role as a first line device has to be evaluated in further prospective studies.

Recanalization is the Key for Better Outcome of Thrombectomy in Basilar Artery Occlusion
ConclusionReperfusion is the major predictor of functional outcome in BAO in clinical practice. Failed recanalization resulted in a  13-fold increase of the risk of poor outcome. Successful recanalization is crucial to achieve a better functional outcome in BAO.

Collateral Scores in Acute Ischemic Stroke
ConclusionAlthough collaterals are known to correlate with clinical outcome, none of the analyzed collateral scores sufficiently predicted outcome as a  standalone parameter.

Total Small Vessel Disease Burden Predicts Functional Outcome in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: Total SVD burden negatively associated with functional outcome at 3 months in patients with acute ischemic stroke and is superior to individual SVD feature in prediction of functional outcome. MRI-based assessment of total SVD burden is highly valuable in clinical management of stroke victims, and could help guide the allocation of resources to improve outcome.

The predictive dysphagia score (PreDyScore) in the short- and medium-term post-stroke: a putative tool in PEG indication
ConclusionBMI<  20 and mRS ≥ 3 are easily measurable bedside predictive factors of persistent dysphagia. PreDyScore showed good sensitivity and very good specificity and enables the prediction of persistent dysphagia with great accuracy in any clinical setting.

Early microvascular cerebral blood flow response to head-of-bed elevation is related to outcome in acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsEarly CBF response to mild HOB elevation in the ipsilesional hemisphere is related to functional outcome. Further studies may enable optical monitoring at the bedside to individualize management strategies in the early phase of AIS.

Safety of urgent endarterectomy in acute non ‐disabling stroke patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis: an international multicenter study
ConclusionsOur findings highlight that urgent CEA performed within two days from the index event is related to a non ‐significant increase in the risk of peri‐procedural stroke. The safety of urgent CEA requires further evaluation in larger datasets.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Clinical and radiological characteristics and predictors of outcome of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a hospital-based study
AbstractCerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon cause of stroke, which is more prevalent in Iran and the Middle East. We aimed to assess the etiology, radiologic, and clinical manifestations of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, specifically the predictors of patients ’ outcome in Namazi hospital, Shiraz, Iran. In this retrospective study, we included all adult patients with the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, who were admitted in hospital, from 2012 to 2016. Demographic data, radiologic findings, clinical presentation, risk factors, treatment, a nd outcome according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS) o...
