Clinical Updates on Antiplatelet Therapy for Secondary Prevention in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2023 Sep 30;32(3):138-144.ABSTRACTAntiplatelet therapy is the first-line management for noncardioembolic transient ischemic attack (TIA) and acute ischemic stroke (IS). Herein, we review the safety and efficacy of antiplatelet therapies in patients with IS and TIA, primarily focusing on the acute stage. We discuss current antiplatelet monotherapy and the factors influencing efficacy and continuation rate according to clinical trial data. Aspirin remains the most commonly used first-line antiplatelet agent for preventing noncardioembolic stroke recurrence, and clopidogrel, cilostazol, and ticagrelor are ...

Safety and Effectiveness of Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke Outside the Coverage of National Health Insurance in Taiwan.
Conclusion: In stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis according to the AHA/ASA guidelines, the outcomes were comparable between the reimbursement and non-reimbursement groups.

Quality of Life and Psychological Distress of Caregivers' of Stroke People.
CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers of people with stroke experience mental disorders and burden negatively affecting their quality of life. Therefore, there is a need to implement strategies which should aim to the management of these problems for the welfare of both patients and their caregivers.

Renal Function Estimates and Dosing of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: An Observational Study.
CONCLUSION: Although substituting eGFR for CrCl carries potential risks of DOAC overdosing in patients with AF, the effect might be offset by clinicians' predilection for lower dosage in this stroke cohort.

Significant Destructive Interaction of BDNF Val > Met Polymorphism with Stroke Severity and Family History of Dementia for Cognitive Impairments.
CONCLUSION: It can be speculated that presence of Val/Met heterozygosity has a destructive interaction with the SS and FHD for decreasing the cognitive function, particularly in attention and language domains. Our findings suggested that the inhibition of signaling and trafficking of Val/Met heterozygosity is possibly a practical strategy in reducing the cognitive impairments following the stroke.

Update of Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2021 Jun 30;30(2):44-53.ABSTRACTUpon acute ischemic stroke, rapid recanalization of the occluded cerebral vessel via intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT) is crucial to achieve good functional outcome. The time window of IVT with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been extended from post-stroke 3 to 4.5 hours. In patients with cerebral penumbra identified using cerebral perfusion imaging, IVT is still beneficial within 4.5 to 9 hours after onset of stroke. For those without clear stroke onset time, DWI-FLAIR mismatch by brain MRI indicates hyperacute infarct and IVT is indicative. For...
