Interrupted transport by the emergency medical service in stroke/transitory ischemic attack: A consequence of changed treatment routines in prehospital emergency care
ConclusionFrom this pilot study, we hypothesise that a fraction of patients with stroke/TIA who call for the EMS have their direct transport to hospital interrupted due to a lack of suspicion of the disease by the EMS nurse at the scene. These patients appear to have more vague symptoms including vertigo and disturbed balance. Instruments to identify these patients at the scene are warranted.

Misdiagnosis of lamotrigine toxicity as posterior circulation transient ischemic attack or stroke.
CONCLUSION: Emergency departments will frequently call a stroke alert for patients taking LTG and presenting with symptoms consistent with LTG toxicity, particularly in seniors at greater risk of stroke. This adds not only expense but also radiation and contrast exposure from computed tomography (CT) studies. We recommend that a rapid LTG assay be made available and always ordered in patients receiving LTG, avoiding the considerable expense of an unnecessary stroke evaluation.

Ischemic stroke in Morocco: Prehospital delay and associated factors
CONCLUSION: Patient behavior, bystander knowledge and direct admission to the competent hospital for stroke care are modifiable factors potentially useful for reducing onset-to-door time, and thereby increasing the implementation rates of acute stroke therapies.PMID:34148762 | DOI:10.1016/j.respe.2021.03.010

Role of pulse wave velocity for the diagnosis of dizziness or vertigo due to stroke (P6.047)
Conclusions:Increased PWV values were detected in patients with dizziness or vertigo due to stroke. PWV value may be used as a predictor of central vertigo even though there should be more convincing evidences.Disclosure: Dr. Cho has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kim has nothing to disclose.

Prevalence of stroke in acute vertigo presentations: A UK tertiary stroke centre perspective
The reported prevalence of stroke amongst patients presenting to hospital with acute vertigo and/or imbalance is c. 5%, leading to the pervasive notion amongst emergency and stroke physicians, that stroke is uncommon in this cohort.To interrogate the veracity of this notion, we systematically and retrospectively screened the electronic care records in our institution of patients referred as suspected stroke, to a hyperacute stroke service at a large tertiary referral centre.We screened 24,310 consecutive patients' electronic case records presenting to our hospital as an emergency over a 4-month period, 332 of whom were ref...

Incidence, characteristics, and neuroanatomical substrates of vestibular symptoms in supratentorial stroke
This study aimed to determine the incidence, clinical features, and anatomical correlation of acute vestibular symptoms in supratentorial stroke. We performed a prospective, multicenter, observational study that had recruited patients with supratentorial stroke from the neurology clinics of referral-based four university hospitals in Korea. All patients received a constructed neuro-otological evaluations, and neuroimaging. We analyzed the incidence of acute vestibular symptoms, abnormal ocular motor and vestibular function tests, and stroke lesions. Of 1301 patients with supratentorial stroke, 48 (3.7%) presented with acut...

Use of DWI-only MR protocol for screening stroke mimics
Abstract: Purpose: Patients presenting with focal neurological symptoms may suffer from stroke or stroke mimics. Diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) is highly sensitive for identifying acute ischemia. Therefore, we aimed to explore whether a DWI-only protocol would help differentiate stroke from stroke mimics.Methods: We identified all patients with possible but not definite stroke that underwent DWI-only MRI between 6/2010 and 8/2011. Patients with a positive DWI lesion were compared to those with negative DWI findings on demographics, risk factor profile, final discharge diagnoses, and outcome.Results: A total of 124 patients w...
