Addition of sodium criterion to SOAR stroke score
ConclusionThe SOAR‐Na did not perform considerably better than the SOAR stroke score. However, the performance of SOAR‐Na in those with CKD and dysglycaemias requires further investigation.

Retraction statement: Dynamics of Cytochrome C Oxidase Activity in Acute Ischemic Stroke ’ by Selaković, V.M., Jovanović, M.D., Mihajlović, R.R. and Radenović, L.L.J.
The above article from Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, published online on 7 April 2005 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) and in Volume 111, pp. 329‐332, has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor in Chief, Professor Elinor Ben‐Menachem, and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The article has been retracted because a similar article had previously been published in the Jugoslovenska medicinska biohemija in 2003. The authors presumed that since the journal was no longer existing, they felt the need to re‐publish their work in Acta Neuorologica Scandinavica. However, in the consideration of the Jou...

Cerebrospinal fluid and blood flow patterns in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
ConclusionsThe typical flow of blood and CSF in INPH was mainly characterized by increased CSF pulsatility in the aqueduct and reduced cervical CSF pulsatility. The direction of mean net aqueduct CSF flow was from the third to the fourth ventricle. Our findings may reflect the altered distribution of intracranial CSF volume in INPH, although the causality of these relationships is unclear.

Less thrombolysis in posterior circulation infarction—a necessary evil?
ConclusionsOur study is, to our knowledge, the largest series reporting comprehensively on PCI verified by diffusion‐weighted imaging. PCI patients are younger than ACI and have better outcome. PCI and ACI are equally investigated in the acute setting, but thrombolysis rates remain 50% lower in PCI.

Subjective health complaints predict functional outcome six months after stroke
ConclusionsInitial stroke severity was the main predictor of functional outcome. Subjective health complaints score was a potent predictor for both outcome and improvement from baseline to 6 months and at the same time ameliorated the predictive impact of sex. The poorer functional prognosis for women after stroke may therefore be related to their higher load of subjective health complaints rather than to their sex itself. Treating these complaints may possibly improve the functional prognosis.

Intravenous thrombolysis and three‐year ischemic stroke mortality

Headache in stroke according to National Acute Stroke Israeli Survey
ConclusionsIntracerebral hemorrhage, younger age, female gender, posterior circulation involvement, and headache history are predictors for headache occurrence in acute stroke. Headache incidence in ICH correlates with stroke severity as opposed to IS. Headache in TIA is not unusual. Lacunar strokes are generally not accompanied by headaches. Headache remains the main complaint in SVT and carotid dissection.

Musculoskeletal and central pain at 1 year post‐stroke: associated factors and impact on quality of life
ConclusionsPain is common 12 months post‐stroke. The factors associated with CPSP and MSP differ, but are both closely associated with fatigue rather than depression. QOL is the poorest in patients with combined pain. Management of pain and fatigue may be important for improving the QOL in stroke patients.

Regional disparities in botulinum toxin A (BoNT‐A) therapy for spasticity in Sweden: budgetary consequences of closing the estimated treatment gap
ConclusionsThe study revealed apparent regional disparities of BoNT‐A treatment for spasticity in Sweden. The results further suggest that the incremental cost of eliminating the treatment gap has a high probability of being offset by savings in direct costs, even at a low proportion of the patients reaching clinical improvement.

Effect of carotid endarterectomy on brain damage markers
ConclusionsData from our study showed that CEA affects serum YKL‐40 but not NEFL and FABP7 levels. This implicates that YKL‐40 may be a valuable serum marker of brain damage after CEA. However, the observed change in serum YKL‐40 level in patients after CEA does not necessarily warrant a change in recommendations concerning the use of this treatment in patients with high‐grade internal carotid artery stenosis.

Language improvement one week after thrombolysis in acute stroke
ConclusionsLesion size and initial aphasia severity are the main predictors of aphasia recovery one week after thrombolysis. A NIHSS composite verbal score seems to capture the global linguistic performance better than the language item alone.
