Prolyl Carboxypeptidase Activity Decline Correlates with Severity and Short-Term Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Abstract Prolyl carboxypeptidase (PRCP) is an enzyme associated with cerebrovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity and hyperlipidemia. We aim to evaluate the relation between serum PRCP activity and severity, evolution and outcome of acute ischemic stroke. We used a specific RP-HPLC activity assay to measure PRCP activity in serum of 50 stroke patients at admission, and at 24 h, 72 h and 7 days after stroke onset to assess correlations with stroke severity based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke scale score (NIHSS), infarct volume on brain MRI scan, stroke outcome based...

Thrombectomy in stroke of unknown onset, wake up stroke and late presentations: Australian experience from 2 comprehensive stroke centres
This study shows good ‘real world’ outcomes, comparable to published RCTs, in patients with unknown-onset, or late presentation, stroke treated with EVT more than 6 h from stroke onset.

Magnetisation transfer parameters and stroke outcome
Publication date: Available online 16 April 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): I. Sibon , T. Tourdias , S. Felix , J. Asselineau , L. Bracoud , A. Vivot , F. Rouanet , P. Renou , J.M. Orgogozo , V. Dousset Our aim was to evaluate the association between magnetisation transfer imaging (MTI) parameters measured 30 to 45days after a cerebrovascular insult and post-stroke functional outcome at the same time. MTI offers the opportunity to depict subtle microstructural changes in infarcted areas. The clinical significance of the heterogeneity of brain damage within ischaemic stroke lesions is unknown. We p...

HDAC9 Polymorphisms Predict Susceptibility, Severity, and Short-Term Outcome of Large Artery Atherosclerotic Stroke in Chinese Population
This study aimed to investigate whether these two polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility, severity, and short-term outcome of LAA stroke in a southern Chinese Han population. rs2074633 and rs28688791 were genotyped using SNPscan technology in 1011 LAA stroke patients and 1121 healthy controls. Stroke severity on admission and short-term outcome were, respectively, assessed by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on admission and modified Rankin Scale score at 3  months after stroke onset. rs2074633 (P = 0.039) and rs28688791 (P = 0.025) were associated with risk of LAA stroke. In ...

A troponin study on patients with ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage: Type II myocardial infarction is significantly associated with stroke severity, discharge disposition and mortality
Publication date: Available online 20 April 2019Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Ayham M. Alkhachroum, Benjamin Miller, Tarek Chami, Curtis Tatsuoka, Cathy SilaAbstractTroponin elevations due to Type II myocardial infarction (T2MI) are associated with hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes but there is little data on stroke severity, troponin elevation and outcome. We studied 1655 patients from a tertiary medical center between 1/2013-4/2015 using multivariate regression analysis for demographics, vascular risk factors, admission stroke severity, laboratory tests, echocardiogram results and discharge dispositio...

Neuron Specific Enolase and C-reactive Protein Levels in Stroke and Its Subtypes: Correlation with Degree of Disability.
Abstract Stroke is an emergency which threatens life and third leading cause of death and long term disability in developed countries. The use of biomarkers in diagnosing stroke and assessing prognosis is an emerging and rapidly evolving field. The study aimed to investigate the predictive value of biochemical marker of brain damage neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and systemic inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) with respect to degree of disability at the time of admission and short term in stroke patients. We investigated 120 patients with cerebrovascular stroke who were admitted within 72 h of onset of s...

Development of Regional Stroke Programs
Abstract The organization of stroke care has undergone a dramatic evolution in the USA over the last two decades. Beginning with the recommendation for Primary Stroke Centers (PSCs) in 1994, there has been a concerted effort by physicians, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and state legislatures to advance an evidence-based system of care with several tiers of stroke centers. At the apex of this structure are Regional Stroke Centers (RSCs), which do not have official recognition like PSCs and Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSCs), but their ex...

Mechanical thrombectomy in patients with stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and low baseline NIHSS score
J Integr Neurosci. 2021 Sep 30;20(3):645-650. doi: 10.31083/j.jin2003068.ABSTRACTWe sought to verify the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and low National Institute of Health stroke scale score at presentation. The prospective database of our stroke center was screened for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion and a baseline National Institute of Health stroke scale score ≤5 that had undergone mechanical thrombectomy. Outcome measures were the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days, brain b...
