Low triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio predicts hemorrhagic transformation in large atherosclerotic infarction of acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract The ratio of triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is an objective approach to predicting poor outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The impact of TG/HDL-C on hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after AIS remains unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the accurate effect of TG/HDL-C on HT after AIS. We enrolled a total of 1423 patients with AIS in the training cohort from a prospective, consecutive hospital-based stroke registry. Of the 1423 patients, HT occurred in 155 (10.89%) patients. The incidence of HT after AIS was significantly increased when there were low levels...

Management of oral anticoagulation in very old patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation related acute ischemic stroke
AbstractThe optimal management of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in the acute phase of non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)-related acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains controversial, especially in very old patients. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the practical management of OAC in this context. We conducted an observational retrospective study on patients 85-years old and older admitted to two Italian hospitals for NVAF-related AIS. For each patient, clinical and brain computed tomography data were recorded. Type of OAC (vitamin K antagonists, VKAs or Direct Oral Anticoagulants, DOACs), dosage and starting ...

Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation combined with intensive physical therapy for gait disturbance after hemorrhagic stroke: an open-label case series
In this pilot study, we aimed to determine the safety and feasibility of a 15-day protocol consisting of in-hospital repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) combined with intensive physical therapy for the recovery of the gait disturbance in chronic stroke patients with lower limb hemiparesis. Seven hemorrhagic stroke patients with lower limb hemiparesis and gait disturbance (age: 50–78; time from onset of stroke: 7–107 months) were enrolled. rPMS was applied to the muscles of the paretic lower limb with a parabolic coil. A train of stimuli at a frequency of 20 Hz was applied for 3 s followed by a 27-s ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

Treatment With Intravenous Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Reversal of Dabigatran With Idarucizumab: A Case Study
Treatment options for anticoagulated patients presenting with ischemic stroke are limited. Off-label use of idarucizumab to rapidly reverse the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran may ensure eligibility for thrombolytic therapy with alteplase. This case describes a 77-year-old white male who presented to the hospital 89 minutes after sudden onset of right-sided hemiparesis, dysarthria, and facial palsy. Significant history included atrial fibrillation and previous right-sided cortical stroke. Medication reconciliation revealed he was taking dabigatran 150 mg twice a day, with the last dose being 179 minutes before presentat...

The weekend effect revisited: evidence from the Upper Austrian stroke registry
AbstractEmpirical evidence on the so-called ‘weekend-effect’ on stroke mortality is mixed with some studies reporting significantly higher mortality for weekend admissions and others finding no difference. The aim of this paper is to enhance the evidence on the weekend-effect on stroke mortality using a rich stroke registry data set from Upper Austria and to discuss underlying reasons for the heterogeneity in results. Using logistic regressions and ordinary least squares regressions with hospital and year-fixed effects, the outcomes of weekend versus weekday admissions are compared for patients admitted to 16 hospitals...

Impacts of in-hospital workflow on functional outcome in stroke patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy
This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of in-hospital workflow on functional outcomes after thrombectomy. Patients were enrolled from a multi-center registry program in China. Based on in-hospital managing procedure and personnel involved, two workflow models, neurologist-dominant and non-neurologist-dominant, were identified in the participating centers. Favorable outcome was defined as a mRS score of  ≤ 2 at 90 days of stroke onset. After patients being matched with propensity score matching (PSM) method, ratios of favorable outcomes and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) were compared between patients ...
