Serum Bilirubin Associated with Stroke Severity and Prognosis: Preliminary Findings on Liver Function after Acute Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: High Tbil and Dbil level within 48 hours of symptom onset could be an independent marker of severity of stroke on admission and discharge for all AIS patients. For patient with mild stroke, elevation of bilirubin after AIS suggests a good prognosis. These findings imply that the liver play the key roles in the mechanism of AIS.PMID:36165803 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2022.2119724

Prognostic value of the systemic inflammation response index in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionSIRI is an independent prognostic indicator for AIS. Elevated SIRI is associated with poor functional outcome of AIS. Our findings suggest the usefulness of SIRI to refine the risk stratification of unfavorable prognosis of AIS.

Understanding Delays in MRI-based Selection of Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Patients for Endovascular Thrombectomy
ConclusionMinimizing arrival-to-puncture time is important for outcomes. Real-world challenges exist in an MRI-based EVT selection protocol; avoiding double imaging is key to saving time. Racial/ethnic disparities require further study. Understanding variables associated with delay will inform protocol changes.

Very early infective endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
ConclusionA significant proportion of IE episodes following TAVR occurs within a few weeks following the procedure and are associated with dismal outcomes. Some baseline and TAVR procedural factors were associated with VE-IE, andStaphylococcus aureus and enterococci were the main causative pathogens. These results may help to select the more appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis in TAVR procedures and guide the initial antibiotic therapy in those cases with a clinical suspicion of IE.Graphical abstractVery early infective endocarditis after trans-catheter aortic valve replacement. VE-IE indicates very early infective endocard...

Prognosis associated with asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsOur results indicate that compared with patients without ICH, those who developed aICH during the acute stage of ischemic stroke had an increasing risk of worse outcome, especially in patients with endovascular therapy.

Associated factors with functional prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing thrombectomy
CONCLUSION: Age, T2D and failed recanalization increase risk for unfavorable outcome at 90 days in patients with AIS treated with MT. Procedure time duration should be considered as a possible determinant factor in functional outcome.PMID:35042605 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2021.11.010

Efficacy outcomes and safety measures of intravenous tirofiban or eptifibatide for patients with acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies
AbstractTo review the literature for randomized control trials (RCTs) and prospective cohort studies investigating the safety and efficacy of tirofiban and eptifibatide in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library were searched for available papers published up to September 2021. The efficacy was evaluated based on the 3-month favorable outcome [modified Rankin scale (mRS)  = 0–1], functional outcome (mRS = 0–2), and the last available National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score measured in each study. Twelve studies (two RCTs and 10 prospective cohorts) an...

Neurological Instability in Ischemic Stroke: Relation with Outcome, Latency Time, and Molecular Markers
AbstractThe National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is commonly used to evaluate stroke neurological deficits and to predict the patient ’s outcome. Neurological instability (NI), defined as the variation of the NIHSS in the first 48 h, is a simple clinical metric that reflects dynamic changes in the area of the brain affected by the ischemia. We hypothesize that NI may represent areas of cerebral instability known as penumbra, wh ich could expand or reduce brain injury and its associated neurological sequels. In this work, our aim was to analyze the association of NI with the functional outcome at 3 months ...

A New Angiographic Collateral Grading System for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Treated with Endovascular Therapy
AbstractPoor clinical outcomes despite endovascular therapy (EVT) are common in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO). We aimed to develop a new angiographic collateral grading system for predicting 90-day functional outcomes of acute BAO after EVT. A prospectively registered consecutive cohort of acute BAO patients treated with EVT in our center during a 6-year period was reviewed. The angiographic collateral grading system for BAO (ACGS-BAO) included 4 grades for poor (grade 1 –2), intermediate (grade 3), and good (grade 4) collateral statuses. First, the independent association of ACGS-BAO with 90-day fun...
