How does cross-education affects muscles of paretic upper extremity in subacute stroke survivors?
ConclusionCross-education via EMS may have a beneficial effect as an adjunct to conventional treatment methods. This study is retrospectively registered and is available atwww.clinicaltrials.gov (ID: NCT04113369).

A novel computed tomography perfusion-based quantitative tool for evaluation of perfusional abnormalities in migrainous aura stroke mimic
ConclusionsOur data suggest that a novel CTP-quantitative approach may detect during MA a moderate hypoperfusion pattern in the cerebral regions compatible with aura symptoms. The use of this novel tool could support differential diagnosis between MA and acute stroke.

Effect of small vessel disease burden and lacunes on gait/posture impairment in Parkinson ’s disease
ConclusionsCSVD and lacunes in the basal ganglia may independently contribute to gait/posture dysfunction in PD. Promoting neurovascular health may preserve some gait/posture function of PD.

Relationship between white matter hyperintensities and chronic kidney disease in patients with acute lacunar stroke
ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that CKD was independently associated with moderate-severe PVWMH in patients with acute lacunar infarction, but not DWMH. PVWMH and DWMH may have distinct pathophysiology.

Lacune is the stroke subtype linked to obstructive sleep apnea
ConclusionSmall artery disease is the most common stroke subtype associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Clinicians must vigilantly assess the presence of obstructive sleep apnea in ischemic stroke patients, especially in patients whose stroke is attributed to small artery disease.

Long-term outcome of cervical artery dissection
AbstractLong-term consequences of cervical artery dissection (CeAD), a major cause of ischemic stroke in young people, have been poorly investigated. The Italian Project on Stroke at Young Age – Cervical Artery Dissection (IPSYS CeAD) project is a multicenter, hospital-based, consecutively recruiting, observational, cohort study aimed to address clinically important questions about long-term outcome of CeAD patients, which are not covered by other large-scale registries. Patients with r adiologically diagnosed CeAD were consecutively included in the registry. Baseline demographic and clinical variables, as well as inform...

Suprascapular nerve block in hemiplegic shoulder pain: comparison of the effectiveness of placebo, local anesthetic, and corticosteroid injections —a randomized controlled study
ConclusionsThe findings of this study support the use of an SSNB with or without CS, to increase the range of motion in the affected shoulder, especially during the rehabilitation period.

Clinical RoPE (cRoPE) score predicts patent foramen ovale detection among stroke patients: a multicenter observational study
ConclusionsConclusions: cRoPE might help in stratification of patients with CS, allowing accurate esteem of the likelihood of PFO to be found, especially in cases when neuroimaging is inconclusive.

Appropriateness, safety, and effectiveness of “drip and ship” teleconsultation model in Southeastern Tuscany: a feasibility study
ConclusionsThe high value for treated/total sent patients ’ ratio underlines that “drip-and-ship” teleconsultation model is appropriate and effective, with a few untreated patients. The model is safe, without adverse events during transfer. Taken together, our outcomes are in line with the previous reports. “Drip-and-ship” teleconsultation model is safe and effective in rural areas, allowing good selections and rapid treatments for stroke patients, based on the transfer from the primary to the comprehensive stroke center.

Association of FLAIR vascular hyperintensity and acute MCA stroke outcome changes with the severity of leukoaraiosis
ConclusionsThe association between FVH and outcomes was influenced by the degree of LA in the acute but not in the subacute and chronic stages of MCA infarction. FVH predicts clinical outcomes independently only in those with more extensive LA.

Mechanical thrombectomy in acute middle cerebral artery M2 segment occlusion with regard to vessel involvement
ConclusionEVT in patients with acute M2-occlusion is safe and leads to a significant clinical improvement at discharge. No significant differences in clinical outcome or complications were found with regard to the localization of the M2-occlusion.

Aspirin or anticoagulation after cryptogenic stroke with patent foramen ovale: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionOur meta-analysis shows that anticoagulation confers no net benefit in recurrent stroke prevention over antiplatelets in patients with PFO-related stroke. RoPE score might help in selecting patients benefiting from anticoagulation, but further trials are needed to delineate risk/benefit profile of anticoagulation.

Serum cystatin C is associated with carotid atherosclerosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsHigher cystatin C levels were strongly correlated with symptomatic CCA stenosis and the rate of unstable plaques. Analysis of cystatin C levels may be useful for the identification of CCA stenosis and extracranial ICA in patients with AIS.

Acute stroke management pathway during Coronavirus-19 pandemic
AbstractSince the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic which in our region, Veneto (Italy), dates back to February, we were confronted with several challenges, but with a constant aim of keeping our Stroke Unit COVID-free. For this reason, in addition to creating a dedicated hot-spot as a pre-triage just outside the Emergency Department, together with the Neuroradiology Unit we obtained a mobile CT unit that could be used by COVID-positive or COVID-suspected patients. Furthermore, thanks to the collaboration with colleagues from different specialties (Infectious Disease, Internal Medicine, Intensive Care, Emergency Medicine),...
