Secondary neurodegeneration of ipsilateral substantia nigra in acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsA better understanding of the secondary degeneration of the substantia nigra has the potentiality to offer a chance for neuroprotection in acute stroke, but further studies are needed.

Association between post-stroke smoking and stroke recurrence in first-ever ischemic stroke survivors: based on a 10-year prospective cohort
ConclusionsSmoking could elevate the risk of IS recurrence, and IS survivor should be advised to quit or smoke less. Add-on effect of clopidogrel may not exist in smoking strokers taking clopidogrel.

Bringing door-to-needle times within the European benchmarks results in better stroke patients outcomes in a spoke hospital from the Apulian Region
AbstractIntroductionDoor-to-needle time (DNT) is a key factor in acute stroke treatment success. We retrospectively analysed the effects of a new protocol aimed at reducing treatment delays in our single-centre observational series over a 1-year period (from October 1st 2021 to September 30th 2022).MethodsThe time frame was divided into two semesters as a new protocol was started at the beginning of the second semester to ensure a rapid evaluation, imaging, and intravenous thrombolysis in all stroke patients attending our spoke-hospital serving 200,000 inhabitants. Logistics and outcome measures were obtained for each pati...

Internal carotid artery dissection in a patient with hemophilia A: a case report and literature review
We report the case of a man with hemophilia A who developed sCeAD and transient oculo-pyramidal syndrome and was treated with acetylsalicylic acid. We also review previous published cases of arterial dissection in patients with hemophilia, discussing the potential pathogenetic mechanism underlying this rare association and potential antithrombotic therapeutic options.

Quantification of retinal ganglion cell loss in patients with homonymous visual field defect due to stroke
ConclusionsReduction of SD-OCT parameters occurs following both ischaemic and haemorrhagic occipital stroke, but it is larger when the injury extends to parietal territories and increases as time since stroke increases. The size of visual field defect is unrelated to SD-OCT measurements. Macular GCC thinning appeared to be more sensitive than pRNFL in detecting retrograde retinal ganglion cell degeneration and its retinotopic pattern in stroke.

Application of the “1-2-3-4-day” rule to stroke severity at baseline versus at 24 h to start direct oral anticoagulant for atrial fibrillation within 7 days from symptom onset
ConclusionsThe application of “1-2-3-4-day” rule to start DOAC for AF within 7 days from symptom onset differed when applied to baseline neurological stroke severity versus 24-h neurological and radiological severity, but safety and effecacy are similar.

Untreated hypertension and prognosis paradox in acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsPatients with untreated HTN had significantly more favorable outcomes at 3 months after ischemic stroke compared to those with no or treated HTN when the stroke was LAA/CE with large vessel occlusion/stenosis. Untreated HTN patients also showed an association between higher MAP and favorable outcomes.

Current territorial organization for access to revascularization therapies for acute ischemic stroke in the Veneto region (Italy) from 2017 to 2021
ConclusionsTreatment target rates of IVT and MT set by Action Plan for Stroke in Europe 2018 –2030 has been globally exceeded in the Veneto region. However, the target rate of MT and access revascularization treatments is heterogeneous among different macro-areas. Further efforts should be made to homogenize the current territorial organization.

Factors associated with migraine aura mimicking stroke in code stroke
ConclusionsIn code stroke, a model including age, sex, NIHSS, and fibrinogen showed a good discrimination capability to differentiate between MA and Ischemic stroke. Whether these variables can be implemented in a diagnostic rule should be tested in future studies.
