Scientific Landscape of Oxidative Stress in Stroke: From a Bibliometric Analysis to an in-Depth Review
Neurochem Res. 2023 Jul 28. doi: 10.1007/s11064-023-03999-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease resulting from either obstruction or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. Oxidative stress (OS), referred to a status where cellular oxidative capacities overwhelm antioxidative defenses, is involved in the pathophysiology of stroke. The bibliometric analysis and in-depth review aim to depict the research trend of OS in stroke. Relevant scientific publications were acquired from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Scientific landscape of OS in stroke was illustrated by general qu...

Association of ventricular arrhythmia and in-hospital mortality in stroke patients in Florida: A nonconcurrent prospective study
Abstract: Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Current evidence identified electrocardiographic abnormalities and cardiac arrhythmias in 50% of patients with an acute stroke. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the presence of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in adult patients hospitalized in Florida with acute stroke increased the risk of in-hospital mortality. Secondary data analysis of 215,150 patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke hospitalized in the state of Florida collected by the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration from 2008 to 2012. The main outcome for th...

Acute Stroke: From Prehospital Care to In-Hospital Management
Early recognition of stroke by clinical presentation and prehospital stroke assessment tools facilitate rapid prehospital and ED diagnosis. CanStockPhoto/focalpoint   Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and requires prompt recognition by prehospital providers to ensure rapid transport. Stroke can present in a variety of different ways, some more readily apparent than others. Delays in diagnosis and treatment can have devastating effects on the outcomes for these patients. In this article, we describe a patient who initially presented with altered mental status and was subsequent...

Worldwide Analysis of Radiology Access and Education for Stroke Care: View From Abroad From 14 Countries
The World Health Organization reports that stroke is among the leading causes of death in noncommunicable diseases worldwide despite advances in acute stroke care [1]. Early interventions in cerebrovascular accidents can prevent mortality and minimize debilitating effects of stroke. There have been major recent advancements in stroke care to intervene more quickly and effectively. We are entering a new era of stroke imaging-based treatment for late acute ischemic stroke. Recent neurointerventional trials, such as DAWN and DEFUSE 3, have transformed the way clinicians provide acute stroke care in the United States and provi...

An Update on Pediatric Stroke Protocol
Pediatric stroke is relatively rare, with approximately 1000 childhood strokes in the United States per year. However, the occurrence of stroke in children leads to significant morbidity and mortality, warranting the development proven screening tools, protocols, and treatment options. Because significant delays in seeking medical attention can occur, time to recognition of pediatric stroke in the emergency department is uniquely challenging and critical. Once recognized, a trained multidisciplinary team with a multifaceted approach is needed to provide the best possible outcome for the patient. Key elements of the pediatr...

Stroke in Pregnancy
Pregnancy confers a substantially increased risk of stroke in women. The period of highest risk of stroke is the peripartum/postpartum phase, coinciding with the highest risk for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and peak gestational hypercoagulability. Hemorrhagic stroke is the most common type of obstetric stroke. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are important contributors to obstetric stroke and predispose women to premature cardiovascular disease. The rate of stroke associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy has increased in the United States. Other conditions associated with obstetric stroke include post...

let-7g counteracts endothelial dysfunction and ameliorating neurological functions in mouse ischemia/reperfusion stroke model.
Abstract Stroke is a debilitating disease, accounting for almost 20% of all hospital visits, and 8% of all fatalities in the United States in 2017. Following an ischemic attack, inflammatory processes originating from endothelial cells within the brain microvasculature can induce many toxic effects into the impacted area, from both sides of the blood brain barrier (BBB). In addition to increased BBB permeability, impacted brain microvascular endothelial cells can recruit macrophages and other immune cells from the periphery and can also trigger the activation of microglia and astrocytes within the brain. We have i...

Providing Stroke and Hypertension Education in Amharic for Ethiopian Persons Living in Dallas, Texas, United States.
CONCLUSION: This study did not show a statistically significant increase in knowledge about stroke when presented learning materials in subjects' native language compared to in English. The use of video to present stroke and stroke-risk educational content can be used in future research and global health initiatives to increase stroke knowledge in the Amharic-speaking community.
