Effect of mechanical thrombectomy alone or in combination with intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsOur study suggests that mechanical thrombectomy alone is effective and safe in patients with contraindications to intravenous thrombolysis. Preceding use of IVT in eligible patients was not associated with increased harm or benefit. Randomized controlled trials are needed to clarify whether intravenous thrombolysis before mechanical thrombectomy is associated with additional benefit.

Early MRI-negative posterior circulation stroke presenting as acute dizziness
AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the frequency, clinical and radiological features, and efficacy of clinical evaluation and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) for the prediction of final stroke in patients with DWI/MRI-negative posterior circulation stroke (PCS) presenting acute dizziness/vertigo. From our comprehensive prospective stroke registry of acute ischemic stroke during a 7-year period, we identified 1846 consecutive patients with PCS, 850 of whom presented with acute dizziness/vertigo. Of these 850 patients, initial DWI-MRI was negative in 35 (4.1%). In these 35 patients, dizziness/vertigo was acute p...

Perfusion-CT imaging in epileptic seizures
ConclusionIn patients with acute epileptic seizures, regional hyperperfusion on PCT may suggest an ongoing or recently resolved SE, whereas hypoperfusion may be due to post-ictal state or simultaneous AIS. These observations might help attributing focal deficits to epileptic seizures rather than stroke, allowing for targeted therapy.

A case –control study of the determinants for cervicocerebral artery dissection
ConclusionIn the process of diagnosis and treatment of ischemic stroke, for patients with age < 50 years old, headache and neck pain and triglycerides < 1.6 mmol/L, the cervicocerebral artery dissection should be considered, and vascular imaging examination needs to be performed in time.

Worse endovascular mechanical recanalization results for patients with in-hospital onset acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionThe recognition, assessment and pre-interventional procedures of patients with in-hospital strokes and subsequent mechanical thrombectomy are favorable. Nevertheless, in-hospital stroke patients display inferior recanalization results and poorer clinical outcomes. Furthermore, we find mechanical thrombectomy seems safe for treatment of in-hospital strokes.

Peripheral tumor necrosis factor-a-induced protein 8-like 2 mRNA level for predicting 3-month mortality of patients with acute ischemic stroke
In conclusion, TIPE2 mRNA improved the diagnostic value of NIHSS score, and patients with NIHSS ≥ 5.5 and TIPE2 mRNA < 5.2 had high 3-month mortality.

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and severity of cerebral white matter lesions in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionElevated hs-cTnT levels were associated with extent of WML in acute stroke patients. Further studies are needed to assess whether hs-cTnT can be used to identify stroke patients at risk for cognitive decline.

Management of patients with stroke treated with direct oral anticoagulants
AbstractSince their market approval, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are being increasingly used for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the management of DOAC-treated patients with stroke poses several challenges for physicians in everyday clinical practice, both in the acute setting and in long-term care. This has spurred extensive research activity in the field over the past few years, which we review here.

Comparison of outcome in stroke patients admitted during working hours vs. off-hours; a single-center cohort study
Discussion and conclusionsThe overall outcome of stroke patients admitted to a large Dutch teaching hospital is not influenced by time of admission. When studying OH effects, adjustment for disease severity and poor prognostic findings on imaging is crucial before drawing conclusions on staffing and material.

Cerebral small vessel disease: neuroimaging markers and clinical implication
AbstractCerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a broad category of cerebrovascular diseases which primarily affect the perforating arterioles, capillaries and venules with multiple distinct etiologies. In spite of distinctive pathogenesis, CSVD shares similar neuroimaging markers, including recent small subcortical infarct, lacune of presumed vascular origin, white matter hyperintensity of presumed vascular origin, perivascular space and cerebral microbleeds. The radiological features of neuroimaging markers are indicative for etiological analysis. Furthermore, in sporadic arteriosclerotic pathogenesis associated CSVD, th...

Occult paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in non-cryptogenic ischemic stroke
ConclusionLong-term monitoring of non-CIS patients detected PAF in a clinically relevant proportion of patients, resulting in stroke prevention therapy optimization. Further study to confirm these findings and refine the subset that would benefit from long-term cardiac monitoring is warranted.
