Establishing the need for a stroke unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in South Africa
Stroke in Africa is a growing and neglected crisis with strokes more than doubling in low to middle income countries in the last four decades. Despite this growing threat to healthcare systems, implementation of stroke models of care in hospitals is lacking with most stroke patients being managed as part of a general medical service. Stroke units have shown to decrease mortality, reduce length of stay in hospital (LOS), and improve patient outcomes.

Retinal and optic nerve magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging in acute non-arteritic central retinal artery occlusion
Diffusion weighted imaging hyperintensity (DWI-H) has been described in the retina and optic nerve during acute central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). We aimed to determine whether DWI-H can be accurately identified on standard brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in non-arteritic CRAO patients at two tertiary academic centers.

National Trends in Telestroke Utilization in a US Commercial Platform prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Most data on telestroke utilization come from single academic hub-and-spoke telestroke networks. Our objective was to describe characteristics of telestroke consultations among a national sample of telestroke sites on one of the most commonly used common vendor platforms, prior to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Mechanical Thrombectomy Improves Outcome for Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke after Cardiac Surgery
Stroke is a feared complication of cardiac surgery. Modern clot-retrieval techniques provide effective treatment for large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes. The purpose of this study was to 1) report the incidence of LVO stroke after cardiac surgery at a large academic center, and 2) describe outcomes of postoperative LVO strokes.

A Stroke Care Model at an Academic, Comprehensive Stroke Center During the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has required the adaptation of hyperacute stroke care (including stroke code pathways) and hospital stroke management. There remains a need to provide rapid and comprehensive assessment to acute stroke patients while reducing the risk of COVID-19 exposure, protecting healthcare providers, and preserving personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies. While the COVID infection is typically not a primary cerebrovascular condition, the downstream effects of this pandemic force adjustments to stroke care pathways to maintain optimal stroke patient outcomes.

Apolipoproteins B and A1 in Ischemic Stroke Subtypes
Introduction: Elevated serum apolipoprotein B and the apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio have been associated with ischemic stroke and intracranial atherosclerotic disease. We sought to assess the relationship between serum levels of apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A1, and the apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio with ischemic stroke subtypes and large artery atherosclerosis location. Materials and Methods: We evaluated serum apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein A1 levels in consecutive, statin-na ïve, adult ischemic stroke patients admitted to an academic medical center in southern India.

Acute Stroke Trial Enrollment through a Telemedicine Network: A 12-Year Experience
A major barrier to acute stroke trial enrollment is timely access to participating centers. Establishing referral relationships via telemedicine may broaden trial access. We sought to understand the utilization of telemedicine in trial enrollment at a large academic center.

A Qualitative Study of Risks Related to Interhospital Transfer of Patients with Nontraumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage
Goal: Interhospital transfer (IHT) facilitates access to specialized neurocritical care but may also introduce unique risk. Our goal was to describe providers ’ perceptions of safety threats during IHT for patients with nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Materials and Methods: We employed qualitative, semi-structured interviews at an academic medical center receiving critically-ill neurologic transfers, and 5 referring hospitals. Interviewees include d physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals with experience caring for patients transferred between hospitals for nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.

Reliability of the Acutely Estimated Premorbid Modified Rankin Scale for Stroke Treatment Decision Making
Background: Premorbid functional status is an important factor in acute stroke treatment decision making. Determining the modified Rankin Score (mRS) accurately may be difficult due to deficits from stroke and lack of collateral information in the acute setting. Data on the reliability of the premorbid mRS in “real-world” practice outside of clinical trial or registry settings are limited. Methods: A retrospective study at a high volume academic primary stroke center. For patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with alteplase between July 2012 and July 2016, hospital electronic records were revie wed for detailed i...

Treatment with Uric Acid Reduces Infarct and Improves Neurologic Function in Female Mice After Transient Cerebral Ischemia
Exogenous administration of uric acid, a naturally occurring antioxidant that scavenges reactive oxygen species in vasculature, has shown protective efficacy in both rodent models of stroke and human stroke patients in Spain as an adjuvant treatment to mechanical thrombectomy. Before clinical trials can be initiated in the United States, however, confirmation of efficacy in alternative preclinical models is required in accordance with stroke therapy academic industry roundtable-RIGOR criteria. To date, preclinical efficacy has only been established in the acute setting in male rodents.
