The assessment of severe lexical disorders in Italian individuals with aphasia
AbstractTests and batteries used in the evaluation of language impairments are overly complex and often ineffective (too difficult) in the assessment of post-stroke patients affected by severe aphasia (global aphasia). The present study reports details on the construction and standardization of a new Italian battery of tasks, specifically designed to assess severe lexical disorders in acquired aphasia (Battery for the Assessment of Severe Acquired Lexical Damage in Italian, BASALDI). The battery is composed of a common set of 64 stimuli (concrete nouns), belonging to both living and non-living categories, and consists of f...

Association between serum bilirubin and asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis: results from a population-based study
ConclusionTbil, Dbil, and Ibil might be independent protective factors for aICAS and moderate-to-severe aICAS in rural-dwelling Chinese people, especially among older participants aged ≥ 60 years.

Brain hyperintensities in magnetic resonance imaging of patients with mild acute focal neurology
ConclusionHyperintensities could serve as a diagnostic and prognostic imaging biomarker for patients, presenting with mild acute focal neurology, warranting application of automated quantification methods. However, larger cohorts are required to provide a definitive answer especially as this is a heterogenous group of patients.

Why we fail: mechanisms and co-factors of unsuccessful thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionIn 20% of failing MT, thrombus cannot be reached/passed. Direct carotid puncture or surgical arterial access could be considered in these cases.In 80% of failing interventions, thrombus can be passed with the device, but the occluded vessel cannot be recanalized. Rescue techniques can be an option. Development of new devices and techniques is necessary to improve recanalization rates. Assessment of pre-existing illness could sensitize for occurring complications.

Decreased visible deep medullary veins is a novel imaging marker for cerebral small vessel disease
ConclusionMultifactorial association between DMV scale and epidemiological, radiological contributors of aCSVD suggests DMV ’s involved pathomechanism may participate in aCSVD development. Attach importance to DMV radiological profile in aCSVD will provide more neuroimaging information for diagnosis and prognosis.

Insulin resistance is an independent risk factor for early neurological deterioration in non-diabetic patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionThis study strongly suggests that IR is probably an independent risk factor for END in non-diabetic patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute stroke: is it time for Justitia to open her eyes?
AbstractHypoxia is a critical component of neuronal death in patients with stroke. Therefore increasing oxygenation of brain tissue seems to be a logical therapy against cerebral ischemia. Oxygen therapy exists in two modalities: normobaric hyperoxia therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). HBO is a therapeutic procedure in which pure (100%) oxygen is administered at greater than atmospheric pressure in HBO therapy chambers. In this review article, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge regarding the therapeutic use of HBO in acute stroke patients. Literature review and electronic search were performed using PubMe...

The role of carotid stenosis ultrasound scale in the prediction of ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThe novel CASUS can better reflect the level of cerebral reperfusion in patients with ischemic stroke and can better predict the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Interoceptive awareness in focal brain-damaged patients
ConclusionOur results support the hypothesis of a right-hemispheric dominance for “interoceptive neural network” suggesting that processing of visceral sensations would be located mainly in the right hemisphere. Therefore, a careful assessment of interoceptive awareness in clinical practice would be useful to improve rehabilitation and to engage patients with deficit of inter oceptive awareness in developing greater accuracy of body signals.
