Multicenter, retrospective analysis of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke in nonagenarians
Background: With the increasing age of acute stroke patients being admitted to hospitals, more data are needed on indications, complications and outcome of endovascular treatment (EVT) in the very elderly. Methods: Retrospective observational study with data collection from Belgian, Swiss, Canadian comprehensive stroke centers and Swedish EVT National database. All patients with acute ischemic stroke were eligible if aged older than or ≥90 years and treated with EVT ± pretreatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

Left Atrial Dilation and Risk of One-Year Readmission after Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
: Structural left atrial and ventricular abnormalities on the electrocardiogram (ECG) and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) at the time of ischemic stroke have been associated with morbidity and mortality. Yet, the prognostic impact of the same in embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), a relevant subtype of ischemic stroke with a unique pathophysiology, has not been well studied to date. Our aim was to assess the predictive impact of left atrio-ventricular ECG and TTE abnormalities on one-year hospital readmission after ESUS from an ongoing single center prospective stroke registry in the U.S.

In-hospital venous thromboembolism is associated with poor outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: A multicenter, prospective study
Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage are susceptible to venous thromboembolism, but the relationship between venous thromboembolism and outcome is largely unknown. We aim to investigate the association of in-hospital venous thromboembolism with functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Transient Ischemic Attack: The Trend and Readmissions in the United States
: Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary event of neurological dysfunction. Patients with TIA may be discharged from the Emergency Department or following an observational admission since their symptoms have resolved. Some portion of these patients, however, return to the hospital due to various reasons. The aim of our study is to find the trend of TIA readmissions in the United States.

COVID-19 Impact on Stroke Presentations
As Covid-19 evolved into a world-wide pandemic, hospitals reported marked declines in strokes, only to be followed by reports of increased numbers of young people presenting with large-vessel occlusions. We reviewed our patient data-base to determine if similar or other novel trends were present.

Universal laboratory testing for SARS-CoV-2 in hyperacute stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitates organizational and structural adjustments to local health care systems to protect medical professionals and patients from infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (1). Particularly older individuals and those with cardiovascular comorbidities are thought to be at increased risk of COVID-19 (2). Consequently, stroke patients can be considered an at-risk population and might benefit from infection control screens at hospital entry (3,4).

Acute Stroke Care Algorithm in a Private Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Third World Country Experience
Since March 2020, we have experienced an influx of COVID-19 positive patients. As of April 27, 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of at least 27 healthcare professionals while infecting 1080 healthcare professionals in the Philippines.1 Despite attempts to formalize protocols and treatment pathways to ensure the safety of healthcare professionals while optimizing patient care, Philippine healthcare workers from every department still continue to suffer from COVID-19 infections. These affect not only acute care but also emergency response systems such as the brain attack code.

Unprotected stroke management in an undiagnosed case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 infection
We report the case of a 79-year-old woman, who was admitted for a wake-up stroke due to occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. She was treated outside the COVID-19-dedicated track of the hospital because she had no concomitant signs or symptoms suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection nor recent contact with other infected individuals.

Opalski Syndrome Treated with Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Type Plasminogen Activator —Case Report and Review of Literature
A 65-year-old man with a history of Wallenberg syndrome caused by vertebral artery dissection at 62 years old was admitted to our hospital with nausea, vertigo, right facial dysesthesia, right hemiplegia, crossed sensory disturbance (sensory loss and numbness in the right face and left body below the neck), and right limb ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed 80 minutes after onset revealed no acute ischemic stroke lesions, but magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) demonstrated complete occlusion of the right vertebral artery.

Risk factors and pathogenic microorganism characteristics for pneumonia in convalescent patients with stroke: A retrospective study of 380 patients from a rehabilitation hospital
Stroke significantly impacts public health and ranks among the leading causes of death and disabilities, resulting in enormous costs measured in both health care resources and lost productivity. It results primarily from embolus or thrombosis for ischemic stroke and hypertension for hemorrhagic stroke, respectively [1]. In 2016, there were 5.5 million deaths and 116.4 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) owed to stroke [2]. As reported, the impact of stroke on the Chinese population is more severe compared to average global levels, and the prevalence of stroke continues to surpass that of ischemic heart disease [3 –4].

A Stroke Care Model at an Academic, Comprehensive Stroke Center During the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has required the adaptation of hyperacute stroke care (including stroke code pathways) and hospital stroke management. There remains a need to provide rapid and comprehensive assessment to acute stroke patients while reducing the risk of COVID-19 exposure, protecting healthcare providers, and preserving personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies. While the COVID infection is typically not a primary cerebrovascular condition, the downstream effects of this pandemic force adjustments to stroke care pathways to maintain optimal stroke patient outcomes.

Combined STA-MCA Bypass and Encephalodurosynangiosis Versus Encephalodurosynangiosis Alone in Adult Hemorrhagic Moyamoya Disease: A 5 -Year Outcome Study
This study included 123 adult patients admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital with hemorrhagic MMD between 2010 and 2015. The surgical procedures included combined revascularization of STA-MCA anastomosis with EDAS (n = 79) or EDAS alone (n = 44). We recorded basic demographic data as well as several risks factors, and used multivariate regression analysis to evaluate the predictive factor of overall survival and rebleeding-free survival.
