Transcranial Laser Therapy in Acute Stroke Treatment: Results of Neurothera Effectiveness and Safety Trial 3, a Phase III Clinical End Point Device Trial Major Clinical Trial
Conclusions— Once the results of the interim futility analysis became available, all study support was immediately withdrawn by the capital firms behind PhotoThera, and the company was dissolved. Proper termination of the trial was difficult but was finally achieved through special efforts by former employees of PhotoThera, the CRO Parexel and members of the steering and the safety committees. We conclude that transcranial laser therapy does not have a measurable neuroprotective effect in patients with acute ischemic stroke when applied within 24 hours after stroke onset.

Sensitivity and Specificity of the Hyperdense Artery Sign for Arterial Obstruction in Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— When present in acute ischemic stroke, HAS indicates a high likelihood of arterial obstruction, but its absence indicates only a 50/50 chance of normal arterial patency. Thin-slice CT improves sensitivity of HAS detection. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.controlled-trials.com/ISRCTN25765518. Unique identifier: ISRCTN25765518.

Distance to Thrombus in Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion: A Predictor of Outcome After Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusion— DT is an independent predictor of clinical outcome in patients with acute MCA occlusion treated with IVT. In acute stroke with MCA occlusion confirmed by CT angiography and DT <16 mm, the likelihood of a good clinical outcome after treatment with IVT was exponentially <50%. This might warrant the evaluation of other therapy forms than IVT in patients with proximal MCA occlusion.

Burden of stroke in Italy: An economic model highlights savings arising from reduced disability following thrombolysis
ConclusionOur study reveals that performing thrombolytic therapy in eligible patients improves economic outcomes compared with patients receiving standard care. This model is useful for decision makers, both within and outside of the Italian national context, as a tool to assess the cost‐effectiveness of thrombolysis in both short‐ and long‐term period.

Combined lysis of thrombus with ultrasound and systemic tissue plasminogen activator for emergent revascularization in acute ischemic stroke (CLOTBUST‐ER): design and methodology of a multinational phase 3 trial
ConclusionsSince intravenous recombinant tissue‐plasminogen‐activator remains the only medical therapy to reverse ischemic stroke applicable in the emergency department, our trial will determine if the additional use of transcranial ultrasound improves functional outcomes in patients with severe acute ischemic stroke (NCT#01098981).

Impact of Prehospital Intervention on Delay Time to Thrombolytic Therapy in a Stroke Center with a Systemized Stroke Code Program
The use of emergency medical services (EMS) and notification to hospitals by paramedics for patients with suspected stroke are crucial determinants in reducing delay time to acute stroke treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate whether EMS use and prehospital notification (PN) can shorten the time to thrombolytic therapy in a stroke center with a systemized stroke code program.

Rivaroxaban Versus Dabigatran or Warfarin in Real-World Studies of Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—In this systematic review and meta-analysis, rivaroxaban was as effective as dabigatran, but was more effective than warfarin for the prevention of stroke/thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation patients. Major bleeding risk was significantly higher with rivaroxaban than with dabigatran, as was all-cause mortality and gastrointestinal bleeding. Rivaroxaban was comparable to warfarin for major bleeding, with an increased risk in gastrointestinal bleeding and decreased risk of intracranial hemorrhage.

Pulmonary embolism in acute ischaemic stroke (p4.293)
Conclusions:PE was observed in 0.32% of AIS and associated with high rates of death and disability. CTA stroke protocol images from aortic arch to vertex allows visualization of upper pulmonary arteries and detection PE in AIS.Disclosure: Dr. Eswaradass has nothing to disclose.

Annexin A2 Plus Low-Dose Tissue Plasminogen Activator Combination Attenuates Cerebrovascular Dysfunction After Focal Embolic Stroke of Rats
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of the combination in early BBB integrity and cerebrovascular patency in the rat focal embolic stroke model. Ischemic brain infarct volume and hemorrhagic transformation were quantified at 24  h after stroke. At an earlier time point, 16 h after stroke, BBB integrity was evaluated by IgG extravasation, and the involved mechanisms were assessed for tight junction ZO-1 and adhesion junction ve-cadherin protein expression, matrix metalloproteinase activation, extracellular matrix collagen IV and endothelial barrier antigen expression, and activation o...

Campaign —Once Again Streptokinase Trials (COAST) in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Every year, 1.5 million people suffer from stroke worldwide, the leading cause of disability and the second most common cause of death.1 Stroke incidence in developing countries is much higher and is further rising,2 whereas access to effective acute stroke treatment is very limited. Only 1% stroke sufferers in developing countries have access to the highly expensive tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the only proven and recommended thrombolytic agent for acute ischemic stroke treatment.3

Treatment and outcome of childhood cerebral sinovenous thrombosis
Conclusions Within the IPSS registry, children with risk factors of trauma or intracranial surgery were less likely to receive anticoagulation for CSVT. Anticoagulation was associated with a lower odds of severe neurologic impairment or death at hospital discharge, but this finding is limited and needs further confirmation in randomized, controlled, prospective studies.

The Role of Thrombin in Brain Injury After Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke
AbstractThrombin is increased in the brain after hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke primarily due to the prothrombin entry from blood either with a hemorrhage or following blood-brain barrier disruption. Increasing evidence indicates that thrombin and its receptors (protease-activated receptors (PARs)) play a major role in brain pathology following ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (including intracerebral, intraventricular, and subarachnoid hemorrhage). Thrombin and PARs affect brain injury via multiple mechanisms that can be detrimental or protective. The cleavage of prothrombin into thrombin is the key step of hemostasis and...

Diabetes Mellitus/Poststroke Hyperglycemia: a Detrimental Factor for tPA Thrombolytic Stroke Therapy
AbstractIntravenous administration of tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV tPA) therapy has long been considered a mainstay in ischemic stroke management. However, patients respond to IV tPA therapy unequally with some subsets of patients having worsened outcomes after treatment. In particular, diabetes mellitus (DM) is recognized as a clinically important vascular comorbidity that leads to lower recanalization rates and increased risks of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). In this short-review, we summarize the recent advances in understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in post-IV tPA worsening of outcome in dia...
