How should we treat patients who wake up with a stroke? A review of recent advances in management of acute ischemic stroke
Acute ischemic strokes account for 85% of all strokes and are the fifth leading cause of mortality in the United States. About one in five of all ischemic strokes occur during sleep and are not noticed until the patient wakes up with neurological deficits. There is growing evidence to support that a significantly higher number of stroke patients could benefit from more aggressive care, especially those patients who wake up with strokes. There is increasing research to support a physiologically-based approach based on advanced imaging rather than simply a time-based determination of whether or not a patient would benefit from reperfusion.

Why acute ischemic stroke patients in the United States use or do not use emergency medical services transport? Findings of an inpatient survey
Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who use emergency medical services (EMS) receive quicker reperfusion treatment which, in turn, mitigates post-stroke disability. However, nationally only 59% use EMS. ...

Large Vessel Occlusion in the Acute Stroke Patient
Acute ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability in the United States. Historically, acute stroke patients were treated with intravenous (IV) thrombolysis. Patients with large vessel occlusions (LVOs) should be offered mechanical thrombectomy, with or without IV thrombolysis, in an extended window up to 24 hours of last known well. Both treatment options are the standard of care for a patient with an LVO. It is critical that the intensive care unit nurse understand new treatment indications for LVO strokes, and the priorities of nursing care with medical and endovascular intervention.

Polyoxometalate nanoclusters act as broad-spectrum antioxidants to alleviate ischemic stroke by intrathecal injection
Conclusion: Intrathecal injection significantly improved the delivery and efficacy of POM nanoclusters to the brain, resulting in the rapid accumulation of POM nanoclusters in the ischemic penumbra. Due to this, we confirmed that the POM nanoclusters could be used as nano-antioxidants to inhibit oxidative stress as well as inflammatory damage effectively.

Malignant Cerebral Ischemia in A COVID-19 Infected Patient: Case Review and Histopathological Findings
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for an unprecedented worldwide pandemic that has severely impacted the United States. As the pandemic continues, a growing body of evidence suggests that infected patients may develop significant coagulopathy with resultant thromboembolic complications including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. However, this data is limited and comes from recent small case series and observational studies on stroke types, mechanisms, and outcomes.

Cannabis-Associated Stroke Presentations: No Smoke Without a Fire
We read with great interest the first-ever case reported by Dr. Finch and Dr. Vilke regarding the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) edible ingestion resulting in an acute stroke (1). We agree that this is a unique case of focal neurological deficits occurring in the setting of THC ingestion, and also, it is hard to deliberate that intoxication timing and an episode of transient ischemic attack was just an accidental co-occurrence. Interestingly, in our prior studies using nationally representative cohorts of cannabis users, we observed a positive association between cannabis use and the rising frequency of stroke admissions in th...

Trends in acute ischemic stroke treatments and mortality in the United States from 2012 to 2018
CONCLUSIONS: From 2012 to 2018, use of tPA and MT increased significantly, irrespective of age, while mortality decreased in the entire AIS population. The most dramatic decrease in mortality was seen in the MT-treated population. Age-standardized mortality improved only in patients older than 70 years, with no change in younger patients.PMID:34198248 | DOI:10.3171/2021.4.FOCUS21117
