Assessment of atherosclerosis in ischemic stroke by means of ultrasound of extracranial/intracranial circulation and serum, urine, and tissue biomarkers
Curr Med Chem. 2022 Aug 17. doi: 10.2174/0929867329666220817123442. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is a common practice to take into consideration: age, diabetes, smoking, treated and untreated systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol for the prediction of atherosclerosis and stroke. There are, however, ultrasound markers in use for the assessment of atherosclerosis and the evaluation of stroke risk. Two areas of investigation are of interest: the carotid artery and the intracranial arterial circulation. Again, within the domain of the carotid artery, two ultrasonic markers have at...

O-016 Outcomes after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for low national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS): a multicenter study
ConclusionsMT is an effective and safe treatment for appropriately selected ischemic stroke patients presenting with low NIHSS. Diabetes and prior stroke are predictors of functional dependence at 90 days, and prior stroke is also associated with mortality, suggesting that MT should be offered judiciously to patients with these risk factors. Our findings signal the need for a randomized trial comparing MT versus medical management for LVO patients with low NIHSS.Disclosures I. Abecassis: 2; C; IschemaView (Rapid), Remedy Robotics. E.

Telomere Length as a marker of biological aging: A critical review of recent literature
CONCLUSION: The present review attempted to examine the purported relation between leukocyte TL and age-related diseases such as CVD and more specific stroke and heart disease in view of the best established, comprehensive, medical and epidemiological criteria that have characterized the focused recent relevant research. Although several recommendations have been made that may contribute significantly to the field, a call for novel technical approaches and studies is mandatory to further elucidate the possible association.PMID:35838223 | DOI:10.2174/0929867329666220713123750

How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices.
It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...

Investigation of Drug Eluting Stents performance in human atherosclerotic artery through in silico modeling
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2021 Nov;2021:5433-5436. doi: 10.1109/EMBC46164.2021.9629895.ABSTRACTAtherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with heart attack and stroke. It causes the growth of atherosclerotic plaques inside the arterial vessels, which in turn results to the reduction of the blood flow to the different organs. Drug-Eluting Stents (DES) are mesh-like wires, carrying pharmaceutical coating, designed to dilate and support the arterial vessel, restore blood flow and through the controlled local drug delivery inhibit neo-intimal thickening. In silico modeling is an efficient method of...

Impact of Intravenous Alteplase Door-to-Needle Times on 2-Year Mortality in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: Faster DTN in patients with AIS was associated with lower 2-year mortality across all age, gender and race subgroups. These findings reinforce the need for intensifying quality improvement measures to reduce DTN in AIS patients.

P-020 Process improvement with pre-tranfser intubation for patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy; not just for the COVID pandemic
ConclusionAn established protocol of pre-transfer intubation is safe and feasible. Intubation prior to transfer does not negatively affect DIDO yet significantly decreases door to groin time at the CSC.Disclosures M. Stiefel: None. J. Strauss: None. J. Shapiro: None. S.

From adults to pediatrics: A review noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) to facilitate recovery from brain injury
Prog Brain Res. 2021;264:287-322. doi: 10.1016/bs.pbr.2021.01.019. Epub 2021 Feb 23.ABSTRACTStroke is a major problem worldwide that impacts over 100 million adults and children annually. Rehabilitation therapy is the current standard of care to restore functional impairments post-stroke, however its effects are limited and many patients suffer persisting functional impairments and life-long disability. Noninvasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) has emerged as a potential rehabilitation treatment option in both adults and children with brain injury. In the last decade, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Transcranial Direct...
