Thrombectomy vs. medical management for large vessel occlusion strokes with minimal symptoms
Exp Ther Med. 2023 Jun 23;26(2):377. doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.12076. eCollection 2023 Aug.ABSTRACTPatients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) presenting mild symptoms with a low National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤8 and also found to have an intracranial large vessel occlusion (LVO) undergo endovascular thrombolysis (ET) or medical management alone. The current study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medical management vs. ET therapy among patients with mild AIS symptoms (NIHSS score ≤8) accompanied by LVO. The present meta-analysis included articles involving mild AIS, LVO, thrombectom...

Using Aspirin Every Day May Cause Anemia in Seniors
A new study suggests regular aspirin use in older adults may pose a serious risk of anemia, adding to existing research that challenges the long-established recommendation to use aspirin as a preventative therapy for dangerous cardiac events. The results come just a year after a national independent task force updated formal recommendations in April 2022 cautioning those over the age of 60 against beginning a daily aspirin regimen.
For decades, aspirin has been used like a vitamin by a sizable portion of America’s aging population. Research as far back as the 1950s showed a daily low dose of the anti-inflammatory me...

Predictors and long-term outcome of intracranial hemorrhage after thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke —A prospective single-center study
DiscussionOlder age, higher NIHSS, large vessel occlusion, and intra-arterial thrombolysis may correlate with ICH. The unfavorable outcome is more common in patients with ICH. Precise scoring of post-thrombolysis bleeding might be a useful tool in the evaluation of the patient's prognosis. Our findings may help to identify predictors and estimate the prognosis of ICH in patients with AIS treated with rt-PA.

Predictors of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after endovascular treatment for acute large vessel occlusion: data from ANGEL-ACT registry
AbstractSymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) is a catastrophic complication of endovascular treatment (EVT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO). We aimed to investigate the incidence and predictors of SICH after EVT. Patients were selected from the ANGEL-ACT registry. We diagnosed SICH according to the Heidelberg Bleeding Classification. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the independent predictors of SICH. Of the 1283 patients, SICH was observed in 116 patients (9.0%). On multivariable analysis, admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) > 12 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.86,...

Electrical stimulation of the brain may help people who stutter
When Guillermo Mejias was 7 years old, his parents sent him out to buy bread during a family holiday in southern Spain. Mejias still remembers his growing anxiety as he walked to the bakery, repeating what he would say over and over in his head. But when the moment arrived, he was unable to produce a single word. He recalls returning empty-handed, ashamed, and wondering what to tell his parents. “I was so tense that I had been inadvertently biting my cheeks and tongue and my mouth was bleeding,” he says.
Mejias still stutters, but today, as a brain researcher at the Complutense University of Madrid, he investigate...
