Transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke patients with or without prior stroke
ConclusionsBoth in TIA and IS, vascular risk factors were more common in patients with a history of stroke compared with those without. In contrast to other secondary preventive medications, OAC treatment in the presence of AF was underutilized in patients with a history of stroke.

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.

A shorter system delay for haemorrhagic stroke than ischaemic stroke among patients who use emergency medical service
ConclusionsPatients with a haemorrhagic stroke differed from other stroke patients with a more frequent and rapid activation of EMS.

Clinical outcome of cardioembolic stroke treated by intravenous thrombolysis
ConclusionsCardioembolic strokes are not associated with increased mortality. Patients with CS are less likely to have sICH and have better outcome after IVT.

Impact of early statin therapy in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack
ConclusionsIn acute ischemic stroke, patients receiving late statin treatment carried a poorer clinical outcome than those with earlier statin initiation. Inhospital statin use after an acute ischemic stroke did not increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.

Contrast ‐enhanced sonothrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke patients without intracranial large‐vessel occlusion
ConclusionCEST is safe in ischemic stroke patients without intracranial LVO. There were no differences in clinical outcomes between the treatment groups.

Higher ratio of ischemic stroke to hemorrhagic stroke in summer
ConclusionsSeasonal variations differed among stroke subtypes. The OR for CH/CeI and for SAH/CeI was lower in summer and higher in the rest of seasons independent of age, gender, and risk factors.

Epidemiology of stroke in Finnish patients with Huntington's disease
ConclusionCerebrovascular disease is as common in patients with HD as in the general population, but minor cerebrovascular events and vascular risk factors may remain unrecognized. Genetic burden of the HTT mutation does not appear to increase the risk of stroke.

Intravenous thrombolysis in ischemic stroke with unknown onset using CT perfusion
ConclusionDelayed stroke patients with unknown onset time were no different than patients >4.5 h regarding eligibility and response to CTP‐based i.v. thrombolysis.

Routine serum C‐reactive protein and stroke outcome after intravenous thrombolysis
ConclusionsAccording to our findings, elevated routine serum CRP measured within 24 h after admission does not seem to independently affect the outcome in patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis for stroke. However, further studies of blood samples taken directly before the treatment are needed.

Recognition of posterior circulation stroke
ConclusionsDespite being of typical age for multiple cardiovascular conditions the PC‐ICH patients less often have a previous history of AF or dyslipidemia than IS patients do. The vomiting PC‐ICH patient with hypertensive BP values often has headache and a red flag for hemorrhage is warfarin treatment.

Clinical predictors of fever in stroke patients: relevance of nasogastric tube
ConclusionsIn patients with acute stroke, four clinical variables were found to be independently associated with the risk of developing fever and, of them, nasogastric tube was the strongest and most significant one.

Nocturnal blood pressure dipping in acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsNocturnal BP dipping pattern is not associated with functional outcome at 3 months in acute stroke patients treated with IVrtPA. Hemorrhagic transformation was more frequent in reverse dippers.

Glucose in prediabetic and diabetic range and outcome after stroke
ConclusionsPatients with glucose in the prediabetic and diabetic range have an increased risk of unfavourable short‐term outcome after stroke. These findings illustrate the potential impact of early detection and treatment of these patients.

Predicting intracerebral hemorrhage by baseline magnetic resonance imaging in stroke patients undergoing systemic thrombolysis
ConclusionsIn ischemic stroke patients within 3 h from symptom onset, the existence of FLAIR‐positive lesions on pretreatment MRI is significantly associated with an increased bleeding risk due to systemic thrombolysis. Therefore, considering FLAIR‐positive lesions on baseline MRI might guide treatment decisions in ischemic stroke.
