Effect of Enteral Nutrition on In-hospital Infection and Hospital Expense in Stroke Patients: A Retrospective Assessment
Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 2021 Mar 9. doi: 10.2176/nmc.oa.2020-0350. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInfection is a common complication of stroke and is associated with unfavorable outcomes. Although nutritional intervention reduces the risk of postoperative infection, the impact of specific nutritional products remains unclear. From a hospital management perspective, we aimed to determine whether the provision of specific types of enteral nutrition in acute stroke patients affects infection control and hospital costs. In all, 45 acute hemorrhagic stroke patients receiving enteral nutrition in a single center (April 2017-Marc...

Clostridium difficile Infection Does Not Impact Outcomes in Stroke Patients
This study investigates incidence, patient characteristics, clinical features, and outcomes of CDI following stroke, including ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods: The hospital database was queried for all patients with IS, ICH, or SAH from 2010 through 2014. Patients who underwent testing for C. difficile testing (CDT) through polymerase chain reaction were assessed. Demographics, risk factors, clinical features, and outcomes were recorded. Fever was defined as temperature>101°F. Results: CDT was obtained in 555/4004 patients and was po...

Short-term effects of individual exposure to PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > on hospital admissions for myocardial infarction and stroke: a population-based case-crossover study in Guangzhou, China
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Jun 5. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-28058-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSome studies have investigated the effects of PM2.5 on cardiovascular diseases based on the population-average exposure data from several monitoring stations. No one has explored the short-term effect of PM2.5 on cardiovascular hospitalizations using individual-level exposure data. We assessed the short-term effects of individual exposure to PM2.5 on hospitalizations for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in Guangzhou, China, during 2014-2019. The population-based data on cardio-cerebrovascular events were provided by ...

Microwave-Based Stroke Diagnosis Making Global Prehospital Thrombolytic Treatment Possible
Here, we present two different brain diagnostic devices based on microwave technology and the associated two first proof-of-principle measurements that show that the systems can differentiate hemorrhagic from ischemic stroke in acute stroke patients, as well as differentiate hemorrhagic patients from healthy volunteers. The system was based on microwave scattering measurements with an antenna system worn on the head. Measurement data were analyzed with a machine-learning algorithm that is based on training using data from patients with a known condition. Computer tomography images were used as reference. The detection meth...

Reducing the impact of stroke
An emerging treatment for stroke will be trialled in new research funded by the NIHR Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme. The trial, with over 2000 patients across 120 hospitals, will examine the use of tranexamic acid and assess its impact on those affected by haemorrhagic stroke. Stroke can be a devastating condition. As the most common cause...

Hemorrhagic Stroke: Better Outcome at Comprehensive Centers Hemorrhagic Stroke: Better Outcome at Comprehensive Centers
Patients with hemorrhagic stroke admitted to comprehensive stroke centers are more likely to be alive at 90 days than patients admitted to other hospitals, a new study has shown. Medscape Medical News

The Role of Statin Therapy in Hemorrhagic Stroke
The 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) are the most widely utilized class of cholesterol‐lowering agents, carrying multiple indications for both primary and secondary cardiovascular risk reduction. Concern was raised by previously published post hoc analyses and observational studies that noted an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke in patients receiving a statin. Subsequent studies have demonstrated conflicting results regarding the role of statin therapy on hemorrhagic stroke risk and patient outcomes. New evidence suggests that statins taken prior to or continued during admissi...

Association between i.v. thrombolysis volume and door-to-needle times in acute ischemic stroke
We examined the association between DNT and IVT volume in a large Dutch province. We identified consecutive patients treated with IVT between January 2009 and 2013. Based on annualized IVT volume, hospitals were categorized as low-volume (≤24), medium-volume (25–49) or high-volume (≥50). In logistic regression analysis, low-volume hospitals were used as reference category. Of 17,332 stroke patients from 11 participating hospitals, 1962 received IVT (11.3 %). We excluded 140 patients because of unknown DNT (n = 86) or in-hospital stroke (n = 54). There were two low-volume (total 101 patients), five medium-volume ...

A rare case of right ventricular myxoma causing recurrent stroke
We present a 62-year-old lady admitted in our hospital with two episodes of acute ischemic stroke about 2 weeks apart. She was evaluated for acute ischemic stroke and was thrombolysed for recent stroke in right MCA territory first time. On further evaluation, she was found to have a RVOT mass. A transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a PFO and a large, 5.1cm×2.3cm, ovoid, well circumscribed, echogenic mass in the right ventricle outflow tract attached by small pedicle to the ventricular side of anterior tricuspid leaflet, partly obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract and protruding through the ...

Prehospital Systolic Blood Pressure is Higher in Acute Stroke Compared with Stroke Mimics
Elevated blood pressure (BP) in patients with acute stroke is common and associated with poor outcomes. Previous, limited data suggests that acute BP reduction improves outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recent pilot studies have suggested pre-hospital BP lowering strategies but at this point pre-hospital blood pressure in patients with acute stroke are poorly understood.

Prognostic parameters for symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke in an Asian population.
Abstract Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is a major complication after intravenous thrombolysis leading to severe disability and death. The incidence was higher in Asian than in westernized countries. Prognostic factors across ethnicities are presumably different. Studies in Asian populations are limited. Clinical data from January 2008 to September 2016 in one provincial and four regional hospitals in the northern part of Thailand were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were those with acute ischemic stroke, to whom recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) had been prescribed. They were classif...
