Functional and technical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign treated with endovascular thrombectomy
ConclusionPatients with HMCAS treated with EVT do not have a worse outcome at 3  months compared with no-HMCAS patients. Patients with HMCAS required a greater number of thrombus passes and longer procedure times.

Clinical and radiological characteristics and predictors of outcome of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a hospital-based study
AbstractCerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon cause of stroke, which is more prevalent in Iran and the Middle East. We aimed to assess the etiology, radiologic, and clinical manifestations of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, specifically the predictors of patients ’ outcome in Namazi hospital, Shiraz, Iran. In this retrospective study, we included all adult patients with the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, who were admitted in hospital, from 2012 to 2016. Demographic data, radiologic findings, clinical presentation, risk factors, treatment, a nd outcome according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS) o...

Elevated Red Cell Distribution Width is Associated with Cerebral Infarction in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
ConclusionsRDW elevation is associated with cerebral infarction and poor outcome after aSAH. Further evaluation of this association is warranted as it may shed light on mechanistic relations between anemia, inflammation, and thrombosis after aSAH.

Severe Cerebral Venous and Sinus Thrombosis: Clinical Course, Imaging Correlates, and Prognosis
Conclusion The outcome of severe CVT is almost equally divided between severe impairment or death and survival with no or only mild handicap. Specifically, space-occupying mass effect and associated neurologic deterioration seem to determine a poor outcome. Therefore, early detection and treatment of mass effect should be the focus of critical care.

Thrombectomy assisted by carotid stenting in acute ischemic stroke management: benefits and harms
This study assesses the benefits and harms of thrombectomy assisted by carotid stenting and identifies factors associated with clinical outcome and procedural complications. Retrospective single-center analysis of 47 consecutive stroke patients with carotid occlusion or high-grade stenosis and concomitant intracranial embolus treated between September 2011 and December 2014. Benefits included early improvement of stroke severity (NIHSS ≥ 10) or complete remission within 72 h and favorable long-term outcome (mRS ≤ 2). Harms included complications during and following EVT. Mean age was 64.3 years (standard deviatio...

Influence of previous physical activity on the outcome of patients treated by thrombolytic therapy for stroke
Abstract Physical activity prevents stroke and is associated with less severe strokes. The neuroprotective effect in patients treated with intravenous (i.v.) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), remains uncertain. We aimed at evaluating the relationship between previous physical activity and outcomes in stroke patients treated with i.v. rt-PA. OPHELIE-SPORT was a prospective observational multicenter study conducted in French and Japanese stroke patients treated with i.v. rt-PA. We evaluated the presence, weekly duration (<2, 2–5, >5 h) and intensity (light, moderate, heavy) of previous leisu...
