Outcomes of a Stroke Response Team on the Emergent Management of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
DISCUSSION: Implementation of a stroke response team increased the knowledge of the care team, improved the timeliness of blood pressure control, and decreased the time for emergency department arrival to a critical care bed, and to anticoagulation reversal agent administration.PMID:36749865 | DOI:10.1097/DCC.0000000000000519

Acute ischemic stroke patients with diabetes should not be excluded from intravenous thrombolysis
Abstract
The benefit of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has been questioned for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in cases of acute ischemic stroke (IS). Our objective was to analyze the differences in outcome according to prior diagnosis of DM and the use or not of IVT. Observational study with inclusion of consecutive IS patients admitted to an stroke unit. Demographic data, vascular risk factors, comorbidity, stroke severity and 3-month follow-up outcome (modified Rankin Scale) were compared according to prior diagnosis of DM and the use or not of IVT. A total of 1,139 IS patients were admitted; 283 (24.8 %...

Safety and efficacy of desmoteplase given 3–9 h after ischaemic stroke in patients with occlusion or high-grade stenosis in major cerebral arteries (DIAS-3): a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial
Publication date: Available online 30 April 2015 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Gregory W Albers , Rüdiger von Kummer , Thomas Truelsen , Jens-Kristian S Jensen , Gabriela M Ravn , Bjørn A Grønning , Hugues Chabriat , Ku-Chou Chang , Antonio E Davalos , Gary A Ford , James Grotta , Markku Kaste , Lee H Schwamm , Ashfaq Shuaib Background Current treatment of ischaemic stroke with thrombolytic therapy is restricted to 3–4·5 h after symptom onset. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of desmoteplase, a fibrin-dependent plasminogen activator, given between 3 h and 9 h after symptom onset in patients with ...

Predictors of 30-Day Hospital Readmission Following Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke
Stroke patients have a high rate of 30-day readmission. Understanding the characteristics of patients at high risk of readmission is critical. A retrospective case-control study was designed to determine factors associated with 30-day readmission after stroke. A total of 79 cases with acute ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes readmitted to the same hospital within 30 days were compared with 86 frequency-matched controls. Readmitted patients were more likely to have had ≥2 hospitalizations in the year prior to stroke (21.5% vs 2.3% in controls, P < .001), and in the multivariate model, admission National Institutes of Hea...

Safety of tirofiban for patients with acute ischemic stroke in routine clinical practice.
Authors: Zhu YQ, Zhang YJ, Ruan HL, Liu Q, Zhan Q, Li Q
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the safety of tirofiban alone and in combination with various treatments in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A total of 120 patients with AIS were included in the study, and these patients were divided into three treatment groups: Group A (tirofiban alone, n=68), group B (tirofiban plus thrombolytic therapy, n=26), and group C (tirofiban as a 'bridging therapy', n=26). Risk factors, stroke severity, initial imaging, treatment regimens, complications and long-term outcomes were analyzed. In total, eight patie...

Patient- and Hospital-Level Determinants of Rehabilitation for In-Patient Stroke Care: An Observation Analysis
Abstract: During acute stroke care, rehabilitation usage may be influenced by patient- and hospital-related factors. We would like to identify patient- and hospital-level determinants of population-level inpatient rehabilitation usage associated with acute stroke care.
From data obtained from the claim information from the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) in Taiwan (2009–2011), we enrolled 82,886 stroke patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction from 207 hospitals. A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) analyses with patient-level factors specified as random effects were conducted (fo...

A cohort study of relationship between serum calcium levels and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in ischemic stroke patients with AF and/or RHD
Abstract: Calcium is an essential element for life and has cerebroprotective property in stroke patients. Low serum calcium levels were found to be related to large hematoma volumes in intracerebral hemorrhagic patients and hemorrhagic transformation in ischemic stroke patients after thrombolysis. However, their impact on hemorrhage-prone small vessel disease represented by cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) is uncertain. We aim to investigate whether low serum calcium levels are associated with presence and location of CMBs.
Ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or rheumatic heart disease admitted to our ho...

Blood ‐based protein biomarkers for stroke differentiation: A systematic review
Computed tomography (CT) scan is the mainstay for diagnosis of stroke; but the facility of CT scan is not easily available. A blood‐based biomarker approach is required to distinguish ischemic stroke (IS) from hemorrhagic stroke (HS) in pre‐hospital settings.To conduct a systematic review of diagnostic utility of blood biomarkers for differential diagnosis of stroke.A comprehensive literature search was carried out till March 7, 2017 in PubMed, Cochrane, Medline, OVID, and Google Scholar databases. Methodological quality of each study was assessed using the modified Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies que...

Stroke in HIV-infected individuals with and without HCV coinfection in Spain in the combination antiretroviral therapy era
by Alejandro Alvaro-Meca, Juan Berenguer, Asunci ón Díaz, Dariela Micheloud, Teresa Aldámiz-Echevarría, Chiara Fanciulli, Salvador Resino
The incidence of stroke in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected individuals has been well analyzed in recent epidemiological studies. However, little is known about the specific contribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to stroke among HIV-infected individuals. The aims of this st udy were to analyze trends in the incidence rates of stroke in HIV-infected individuals during the combination antiretroviral (cART) era in Spain and to categorize them by the presence or ...

Intravenous thrombolysis in SLE-related stroke: a case report and literature review
AbstractPatients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) bear an increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, evidences for treating acute stroke due to artery thrombosis in SLE patients are extremely limited. A 45-year-old woman experienced sudden left hemiplegia. She was transported to the emergency department of our hospital 2 hours after the initial symptom. According to the medical records, the patient was diagnosed with SLE at the age of 28. CT scanned 150 min after the initial symptom showed no evidence of acute changes or hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed occlusion of the right proximal mi...
