Long-term Prognosis of Patients Presenting First-ever Vestibular Symptoms in a Community-based Study
Conclusions: First-ever-in-lifetime VSs are common in patients with FNS and may represent a good opportunity for preventing a serious vascular event, particularly in patients with vascular comorbidity (silent infarctions and VRFs).

Computer Tomography for Prediction of Cognitive Outcomes after Ischemic Cerebrovascular Events
Conclusions: CT parameters are independently associated with SCogI at 3-6 months after an ischemic cerebrovascular event and may be a clinically useful component in predicting for SCogI after stroke.

Amusia for Pitch Caused by Right Middle Cerebral Artery Infarct
A 61-year-old right-handed man with hypertension and dyslipidemia noted that he was singing along to classic rock songs on his car radio, but his voice was off pitch. Six days later, a magnetic resonance imaging scan of his brain revealed a cerebral infarct of the right temporal parietal cortex and insula. Case reports of the precise anatomic correlates of disordered pitch musical processing have been few and fragmentary. The anatomic involvement of our case coincides with the areas of involvement in 3 previously reported cases. Increased awareness of amusia as a rare clinical presentation of stroke should lead to earlier stroke intervention.

Diffusion-weighted Imaging at b1000 for Identifying Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Preliminary Sensitivity, Specificity, and Inter-rater Variability
Conclusions: DW-MRI at b1000 has a diagnostic yield similar to NCCT for detecting ICH and superior to NCCT for detecting IS. Therefore, DW-MRI may be considered as the initial screening tool for imaging patients presenting with focal neurologic symptoms suggestive of stroke.

Early Relapsing Calcified Cerebral Embolism
Calcified cerebral emboli are rarely reported, but may be recurrent and devastating. Misdiagnosis at interpretation of initial brain computed tomography (CT) scan may occur in up to 27% of cases. The purpose of this case report was to describe clinical, CT, and CT angiography findings in a 79-year-old woman undergoing early recurrent stroke from calcified cerebral embolism. Neuroradiology should not overlook calcified cerebral embolism, and this confirms the role of CT in the assessment of stroke.

Routine 24-Hour Computed Tomography Brain Scan is not useful in stable patients Post Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator
Obtaining a routine computed tomography (CT) brain scan 24 hours after treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) is included in the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association acute stroke guidelines. The usefulness of the test in stable patients is not known. We hypothesized that the results of routine, 24-hour post-treatment neuroimaging (CT or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] brain scans) would not alter the management of clinically stable patients.

Do All ASPECT Score Regions have the Same Predictive Power for Functional Outcomes?
ASPECTS (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score) is a 10-point topographic CT scan score that has been shown to be a strong prognostic factor in acute ischemic stroke. We investigated whether all ASPECTS regions have the same prognostic value.

Lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D is associated with severer white matter hyperintensity and cognitive function in patients with non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular events
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is the second most common type of cognitive impairment, referring to the entire spectrum of cognitive impairment contributed by cerebrovascular pathology1. Due to the progressively higher incidence of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases, VCI, including post-stroke cognitive impairment are the leading causes of disability epidemic worldwide2-3. White matter lesions, manifested as white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, are one of the most common pathological characteristics of VCI4.

Mobile point-of-care MRI demonstration of a normal volunteer in a telemedicine-equipped ambulance
Several centers have implemented ambulances equipped with CT scanners and telemedicine capabilities, known as mobile stroke units (MSU), to expedite acute stroke care delivery in the pre-hospital setting. While MSUs have been shown to improve outcomes compared with standard emergency medical management, there are limitations to incorporating CT, including radiation exposure to emergency medical services personnel. Recently, a portable, low-field strength MRI (Swoop ®, Hyperfine, Inc., Guilford, CT) received FDA clearance for in-hospital use.

Dosing of Tissue Plasminogen Activator Often Differs from 0.9 mg/kg, but Does Not Affect the Outcome
Conclusions: In clinical practice, the actual dose of t-PA often differs from the recommended dose of 0.9 mg/kg, but this has no significant impact on the outcome after t-PA treatment.

Searching for Salvageable Brain: The Detection of Ischemic Penumbra Using Various Imaging Modalities?
Various imaging modalities are used to identify the ischemic penumbra in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Although single-photon emission computed tomography (CT), perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and perfusion CT are used to evaluate residual cerebral blood flow in the ischemic area, validation of the perfusion threshold for the penumbra has not been established. The ischemic core corresponds generally to areas with early ischemic changes, such as parenchymal hypoattenuation on CT, restricted apparent diffusion coefficient on diffusion-weighted MRI, or very low cerebral blood volume on perfusion C...

Quantitative HO-PET in Pediatric Moyamoya Disease: Evaluating Perfusion before and after Cerebral Revascularization
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an idiopathic intracranial angiopathy with a progressive spontaneous occlusion of the circle of Willis resulting in repeated ischemia if not diagnosed and treated early, especially in children. Prevention of stroke is achieved by revascularization of the affected cerebral regions. Functional imaging techniques such as H2[15O]-Positron emission tomography (PET) allow quantification of cerebral perfusion/blood flow (CBF) and in particular cerebrovascular response after acetazolamide (AZA) challenge.
