Delayed administration of thrombolytic therapy in minor stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of few symptoms in minor strokes can make them difficult to recognise and could be a reason for delaying treatment. Training among staff caring for these patients is essential to improve this aspect.PMID:33978229 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7210.2020510

Subject-Specific Calculation of Left Atrial Appendage Blood-Borne Particle Residence Time Distribution in Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that leads to thrombus formation, mostly in the left atrial appendage (LAA). The current standard of stratifying stroke risk, based on the CHA2DS2-VASc score, does not consider LAA morphology, and the clinically accepted LAA morphology-based classification is highly subjective. The aim of this study was to determine whether LAA blood-borne particle residence time distribution and the proposed quantitative index of LAA 3D geometry can add independent information to the CHA2DS2-VASc score. Data were collected from 16 AF subjects. Subject-specific measurements included le...

Clinical-CT mismatch defined NIHSS ≥ 8 and CT-ASPECTS ≥ 9 as a reliable marker of candidacy for intravenous thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke
by Hung-Ming Wu, I-Hui Lee, Chao-Bao Luo, Chih-Ping Chung, Yung-Yang Lin
BackgroundClinical-diffusion mismatch between stroke severity and diffusion-weighted imaging lesion volume seems to identify stroke patients with penumbra. However, urgent magnetic resonance imaging is sometimes inaccessible or contraindicated. Thus, we hypothesized that using brain computed tomography (CT) to determine a baseline “clinical-CT mismatch” may also predict the responses to thrombolytic therapy. MethodsBrain CT lesions were measured using the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS). A total of 104 patients were included: 79 pa...

Intraparenchymal hemorrhage related to cerebral venous air embolism secondary to mesenteric ischemia
CONCLUSIONS: Mesenteric ischaemia can cause significant pneumatosis intestinalis, which, by a retrograde mechanism through the portal system, can cause air bubbles to reach the cerebral venous system, leading to acute stroke.PMID:33908620 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7209.2020652
