Stroke etiologic subtype may influence the rate of hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign disappearance after intravenous thrombolysis
This study suggests that stroke due to LAA is associated with lower rates of HMCAS disappearance, neurologic improvement, and mRS ≤1 after IV thrombolysis, compared with cardioembolic stroke.

Clinical outcome of cardioembolic stroke treated by intravenous thrombolysis
ConclusionsCardioembolic strokes are not associated with increased mortality. Patients with CS are less likely to have sICH and have better outcome after IVT.

Jefferson Health and Bensalem Rescue Squad Unveil Mobile Stroke Unit
BENSALEM, PA — On Thursday, May 16, the Vickie and Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience at Jefferson and the Bensalem Rescue Squad introduced during a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony a new Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) that will serve stroke patients in Bucks County. The event was hosted by leaders from Jefferson Health and Bensalem Township, who touted the unit’s unique capabilities to aid victims of stroke. The MSU will be based in Bucks County and is the region’s first university-based, high-tech Mobile Stroke Unit. It will work with emergency medical services, Jefferson Expert Telestroke (JET) physician team, and med...

Predictors of Survival in Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Active Cancer: A Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study
Conclusions The prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke and active cancer varied considerably depending on stroke mechanism, distant metastasis, and coagulation abnormalities. The present study confirmed that coagulation abnormalities were crucial in determining the prognosis of such patients.PMID:37489755 | DOI:10.1161/JAHA.123.029618

Mobile Stroke Units: A Device in Search of an Indication
If you've been to any regional or national EMS conference in the last two years, you've seen these mobile stroke units. They are beautiful large ambulances with the latest and greatest in modern technology including mobile CT scanners. Often, the name of a hospital is blazoned on the side. There is usually a staff member present to tell you how great these will be for your community. But are they? Where's the science? What's the cost? These are important questions that should be asked and answered before these devices are deployed on a widespread basis. Although still somewhat controversial, therapies are now available to ...

Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke-Specific Focus on Anesthetic Management for Mechanical Thrombectomy.
Abstract Acute ischemic stroke is a neurological emergency with a high likelihood of morbidity, mortality, and long-term disability. Modern stroke care involves multidisciplinary management by neurologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, and anesthesiologists. Current American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) guidelines recommend thrombolytic therapy with intravenous (IV) alteplase within the first 3-4.5 hours of initial stroke symptoms and endovascular mechanical thrombectomy within the first 16-24 hours depending on specific inclusion criteria. The anesthesia and critical care provider may b...

Haemodilution for acute ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall results of this review showed no clear evidence of benefit of haemodilution therapy for acute ischaemic stroke.These results are compatible with no persuasive beneficial evidence of haemodilution therapy for acute ischaemic stroke. This therapy has not been proven to improve survival or functional outcome. PMID: 25159027 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Novel Diagnostic and Monitoring Tools in Stroke: an Individualized Patient-Centered Precision Medicine Approach.
Authors: de Villiers S, Swanepoel A, Bester J, Pretorius E Abstract Central to the pathogenesis of ischaemic stroke are the normally protective processes of platelet adhesion and activation. Experimental evidence has shown that the ligand-receptor interactions in ischaemic stroke represent a thrombo-inflammatory cascade, which presents research opportunities into new treatment. However, as anti-platelet drugs have the potential to cause severe side effects in ischaemic stroke patients (as well as other vascular disease patients), it is important to carefully monitor the risk of bleeding and risk of thrombus in pati...

Stroke Code Simulation Lab; Save Time Save Brain! (P2.375)
CONCLUSIONS: The stroke code simulation lab met its objectives of improving the neurology residents’ knowledge and experience managing stroke codes. It was perceived as a valuable exercise. Further data will determine if the stroke code simulation lab improves patient care.Disclosure: Dr. Mao has nothing to disclose. Dr. Zidan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Afzal has nothing to disclose.

Drip-and-Ship Thrombolytic Therapy Supported by the Telestroke System for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Living in Medically Under-served Areas.
Authors: Kageji T, Obata F, Oka H, Kanematsu Y, Tabata R, Tani K, Bando H, Nagahiro S Abstract There are a few stroke specialists in medically under-served areas in Japan. Consequently, in remote area patients may not receive thrombolysis with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (iv rt-PA), the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Using a mobile telestroke support system (TSS) that accesses the internet via a smart phone, we implemented iv rt-PA infusion therapy under a drip-and-ship protocol to treat the stroke patients in medically under-served areas. The physicians at the Tokushima Pref...

Correlation between clot density and recanalization success or stroke etiology in acute ischemic stroke patients.
Conclusions There was no relationship between clot density and revascularization success or stroke etiology in our study. More research is needed to determine if clot density can predict recanalization rates or indicate etiology. PMID: 28604188 [PubMed - in process]
