Clinical features of fallers among inpatient subacute stroke: an observational cohort study
ConclusionsThe severity of stroke may directly increase the risk of fall, and also indirectly, lengthening the hospitalization. Our study seems to suggest that patients with BI scores of between 21 and 30 on admission are more prone to fall in the first period of hospitalization, whereas in the second month, those with scores of between 11 and 20 on admission have a higher risk of falls. In the third month, patients with BI scores below 10 on admission are more susceptible to falls.

Interhemispheric asymmetry of the motor cortex excitability in stroke: relationship with sensory-motor impairment and injury chronicity
ConclusionStroke patients showed higher interhemispheric asymmetry of the motor cortex excitability when compared to healthy, and the magnitude of this asymmetry seems to be correlated with the severity of sensory-motor impairment, but not with stroke chronicity.SignificanceHigher interhemispheric asymmetry was found in stroke patients with greatest sensory-motor impairment.

Acute hematoma expansion after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: risk factors and impact on long-term prognosis
DiscussionHE translates into higher mortality and functional dependence over long-term follow-up. Strategies limiting HE might benefit long-term functional status.

Lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and risk of hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionLower LMR was independently related to higher risk of HT in patients with AIS. Admission LMR may be used as one of the predictors for HT. Further prospective multicenter studies are needed to validate our findings.

Venous thromboembolism prevention with low molecular weight heparin may reduce hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThis retrospective study suggests that SHPD may play a protective role in HT appearance and evolution, which requires verification by a randomized clinical trial.

Clinical outcomes of cerebral infarction in nonagenarians compared among four age groups
ConclusionsPatients in the super old group had more severe symptoms and poorer outcomes than younger age groups. However, patients with mild symptoms tended to have better prognoses and returned to daily life similar to the younger age group.

Dynamic increase in neutrophil levels predicts parenchymal hemorrhage and function outcome of ischemic stroke with r-tPA thrombolysis
ConclusionsDynamic increase in neutrophil and NLR after stroke may predict PH and 3-month poor outcome in AIS patients receiving r-tPA treatment. Therefore, neutrophil and NLR may serve as activity markers for PH and 3-month poor prognosis in AIS patients with intravenous thrombolysis.

The elevation of S100B and downregulation of circulating miR-602 in the sera of ischemic stroke (IS) patients: the emergence of novel diagnostic and prognostic markers
AbstractIschemic stroke (IS) is a major cause of mortality and disability. However, no reliable prognostic or diagnostic biomarker has been utilized to date. Here, we have evaluated the serum S100B concentration and miR-602 expression as potential biomarkers for IS. Fifty-two IS patients and 52 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were enrolled. Blood samples were collected from all patients at the time of admission, 24 and 48 h later, at the time of discharge, and 3 months later. Real-time (RT) PCR was used to measure the serum level of miR602. We also measured the serum concentration of S100B using ELISA. As compar...

The effectiveness of various cytotherapeutic strategies for the treatment of ischemic stroke: a Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsIn the subacute stage, the intra-arterial injection of NCs or ALDH cells improves patients ’ activity of daily living. Additionally, CD34+ cells through intracerebral injection had an advantage in the recovery of injured nerve function even in the chronic stage. Intravenous injection of MSCs or EPCs is a safety delivery route that can reduce mortality and SAE onset. However, further clinical studies are still needed to confirm these results.

Transcranial direct current stimulation improves the swallowing function in patients with cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction following a brainstem stroke
ConclusionThe bihemispheric anodal tDCS combined with simultaneous catheter balloon dilatation and conventional swallowing therapy effectively improves the swallowing function in patients with CPD caused by a brainstem stroke. tDCS may be an effective adjuvant therapy in CPD rehabilitation.

Value of thrombus imaging in predicting the outcomes of patients with large-vessel occlusive strokes after endovascular therapy
ConclusionImaging of thrombus can be used as an aseessment tool to predict the outcomes and it needs further studies in the future.

Low TSH level predicts a poor clinical outcome in patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke after endovascular thrombectomy
ConclusionA lower TSH value upon admission may predict an unfavorable functional outcome in AIS patients after EVT, but thyroid hormone levels have no bearing on the risk of HT.
