Mortality and Stroke Recurrence in a Rehabilitation Cohort of Patients with Cerebral Infarcts and Chagas Disease
Conclusions: Cardiac conditions did not correlate with mortality or recurrence. Age was a protective factor against recurrence, probably due to cumulative risk of IS over time, while initial mRS was associated with both outcomes. Treating diseases such as DM and bladder dysfunction, and early treatment to reduce the initial mRS could potentially prevent both outcomes; also, establishing a correct etiological diagnosis is important.Eur Neurol 2018;79:177 –184

Prominent Hypointense Vessel Sign on Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging Is Associated with Clinical Outcome in Acute Ischaemic Stroke
Conclusions: The presence of PHVS, CVS and SWI-ASPECTS were associated with poor outcome in AIS. The presence of PHVS was the most effective radiographic marker for predicting outcome.Eur Neurol 2018;79:231 –239

Effects of Acupuncture Treatment on Lower Limb Spasticity in Patients Following Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Pilot Study
Conclusions: Acupuncture could improve the lower limb spasticity and motor function, thus providing a safe and economical approach for treating stroke patients. The potential mechanism underpinning the greater improvement may be attributed to a reshape of corticospinal plasticity induced by acupuncture.Eur Neurol 2019;81:5 –12

Drip-and-Ship Model for Thrombectomy in Stroke Patients with Large-Vessel Occlusion
Conclusions: The “drip-and-ship” model has the potential to be a feasible model for patients with LVO in the anterior circulation to undergo endovascular treatment. Further large-scale prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings.Eur Neurol

Investigating the Association between Wake-Up Stroke and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: WUS patients have severer SDB problems compared to NWUS patients suggesting that respiratory events during sleep might be underlying the induction of WUS. Besides, the induction of WUS was significantly associated with men rather than women. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of potential WUS patients should benefit from the detection of SDB status and respiratory effects.Eur Neurol

Effectiveness of Intensively Applied Mirror Therapy in Older Patients with Post-Stroke Hemiplegia: A Preliminary Trial
Conclusion: Intensive MT appears to be more effective than a more spaced over time therapy; therefore, at least in the older adults, this treatment protocol should be recommended in the post-stroke recovery of these patients. Further studies will confirm with certainty whether this treatment is the most suitable guideline for to treat these patients.Eur Neurol

Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke When Multiple Passes Are Required and Associated Risk Factors
Conclusion: Needing more than 2 passes during mechanical thrombectomy is associated with poorer outcomes. Higher preprocedural NIHSS scores and internal carotid artery thrombi are associated with more than 2 passes.Eur Neurol

Associations between Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Levels and Both Severity and Early Outcome of Patients with Ischemic Stroke
We aimed to investigate associations between serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and both severity and outcome after ischemic stroke (IS). A total of 731 patients consecutive IS patients were enrolled (mean age 69.4 ± 15.4, 61.6% men), and serum TSH levels were measured at admission and analyzed according to the tertiles of their distribution (1.6 mUI/l). Associations between TSH and both severity at admission (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores

The Effect of Passive Movement for Paretic Ankle-Foot and Brain Activity in Post-Stroke Patients
Conclusion: Manual therapy with CPM device therapy improved the ankle PROM, equinovalgus and severity of spasticity. The ankle PM increased ipsi- and contralateral cortical activation.Eur Neurol 2016;76:132-142

Post Stroke Dysglycemia and Acute Infarct Volume Growth: A Study Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Background: The aim of the present study was to clarify the effect of glucose profiles after stroke, which was assessed by a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device.Methods: Acute ischemic stroke patients within 24 h of onset were prospectively studied. CGM was performed for 72 h after admission. CGM parameters were evaluated as follows: (1) mean glucose level, (2) area under the curve (AUC) for glucose level>140 mg/dl and (3) SD of the glucose level. Infarct volume was measured at admission and 24 and 72 h after admission using diffusion-weighted imaging. CGM data and infarct volume growth were compared at 24 and 72 h....

Distinct Roles of Endothelial Dysfunction and Inflammation in Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stroke
Background/Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the differential roles of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in intracranial atherosclerotic stroke (ICAS).Methods: We prospectively recruited 262 patients with acute cerebral infarcts caused by ICAS and 75 individuals with no history of stroke as controls. Markers of endothelial dysfunction (asymmetric dimethylarginine, ADMA) and inflammation (lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, Lp-PLA2) were measured. Acute ischemic lesions were measured in terms of their size, composition, and patterns. Subclinical microangiopathy (degree of leukoaraiosis) and macroangiopa...

The Efficacy of High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Improving Apathy in Chronic Stroke Patients
Although repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for hemiparesis is beneficial, so far no study has examined the usefulness of rTMS for apathy. Thirteen patients with chronic stroke were assigned randomly to 2 groups: rTMS group (n = 7) and sham stimulation group (n = 6). The patients received 5 sessions of either high-frequency rTMS over the region spanning from the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) to medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) or sham stimulation for 5 days. The severity of apathy was evaluated using the Apathy Scale (AS) and the severity of depression was evaluated using the Quick Inventory of De...

Heart Rate Variability During Early Mobilization in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Autonomic dysfunction is one of the predictors of poor outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We compared the heart rate variability (HRV) during early mobilization in patients with or without neurological deterioration (ND). We enrolled 7 acute ischemic patients with ND and 14 without ND and measured their HRV in the rest and mobilization by electrocardiography. There was a significant difference in sympathetic nervous activity during mobilization between the 2 groups. However, no significant differences in blood pressure, heart rate, and parasympathetic nerve activity were observed. In patients with acute ischem...

Blood Glucose Levels Are Associated with Cerebral Microbleeds in Patients with Acute Ischaemic Stroke
Conclusions: In this prospective study of patients with acute ischaemic stroke, our results showed that glucose was associated with deep or infratentorial CMBs but not with lobar CMBs.Eur Neurol 2018;80:187 –192
