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.

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.

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.

Anemia and stroke: Where do we stand?
Anemia seems to have a clear relationship with cerebrovascular events (CVEs), as there is a direct connection between central nervous system, blood supply, and tissue oxygen delivery. Anemia is considered a hyperkinetic state which disturbs endothelial adhesion molecule genes that may lead to thrombus formation. Furthermore, blood flow augmentation and turbulence may result in the migration of this thrombus, thus producing artery‐to‐artery embolism. It is for this reason that anemia is characterized as “the fifth cardiovascular risk factor.” Anemia is consistently present in patients with acute stroke, ranging from...

Organizational changes aiming to reduce iv tPA door‐to‐needle time
ConclusionsStreamlining of iv tPA logistics can reduce median DNT to <30 min in a general local hospital. Moving treatment start from the ER to the CT laboratory contributed to reduce DNT. Our organizational model was resistant to influence on DNT by patient age, gender, stroke severity, and time to hospital arrival. The incidence of SICH remained low.

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.
