Reasons Underlying Non-Adherence to and Discontinuation of Anticoagulation in Secondary Stroke Prevention among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusion: Nonadherence to OAC in stroke patients results from fear of potential complications or inconvenience and physicians' concerns regarding functional status. OAC should be initiated wherever possible during the in-hospital stay.Eur Neurol 2015;73:184-191

Timing of Neurological Improvement after Acute Ischemic Stroke and Functional Outcome
Conclusions: These results suggest that TNI is independently associated with functional outcome at 90 days. TNI2 may be more useful than TNI4 for early prediction of stroke outcome.Eur Neurol 2015;73:164-170

Atrial Fibrillation in Young Ischemic Stroke Patients: An Underestimated Cause
Conclusion: AF was detected in 10.2% of young stroke patients and paroxysmal form of AF prevailed. Using of long-term ECG Holter monitoring improved the detection of AF. Patients with presence of AF had more frequently elevated serum specific cardiac markers.Eur Neurol 2015;73:158-163

Stroke Prevention - Medical and Lifestyle Measures
Background: According to the World Health Organization, stroke is the ‘incoming epidemic of the 21st century'. In light of recent data suggesting that 85% of all strokes may be preventable, strategies for prevention are moving to the forefront in stroke management. Summary: This review discusses the risk factors and provides evidence on the effective medical interventions and lifestyle modifications for optimal stroke prevention. Key Messages: Stroke risk can be substantially reduced using the medical measures that have been proven in many randomized trials, in combination with effective lifestyle modifications. The glob...

Brainstem Stroke-Related Restless Legs Syndrome: Frequency and Anatomical Considerations
Conclusion: The results suggest that RLS should be systematically screened in patients affected with brainstem stroke, especially in the case of stroke-induced sensory symptoms. Clinicians should be aware of this association, especially as efficient treatments are available and allow improving the management of patients affected with stroke.Eur Neurol 2015;73:113-118

Stroke Unit Management and Revascularisation in Acute Ischemic Stroke
This article examines the current treatment options for stroke patients, summarizing the key clinical evidence, as well as listing the complications and practical issues related to each of these main treatment options. Key Messages: Recent advances in the treatment of acute stroke include developments in intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), intra-arterial treatment and bridging therapies. Clinical Implications: Treatment within a stroke unit reduces mortality and disability regardless of age, sex and stroke severity. IVT is widely available and reduces disability when initiated within 4.5 h after the onset of symptoms. The majo...

The Correspondence between Winkler and Monakow During World War I
The correspondence (1907-1930) between two leading European neurologists, Cornelis Winkler (1855-1941) and Constantin von Monakow (1853-1930), has been preserved in Amsterdam and Zurich. For this paper, letters exchanged during World War I were studied. Professional as well as personal issues were discussed. An international neurology meeting in Berne in September 1914 had to be cancelled due to the war. They hoped that (neuro)scientists would remain politically neutral, continue scientific cooperation, and even be able to influence the course of the war. Winkler and Monakow tried to continue their work on the Internationa...

Antithrombotic Therapy in Carotid Artery Stenosis: An Update
Carotid stenosis is generally associated with high risks of stroke and vascular events. In asymptomatic and symptomatic patients, with or without revascularization, optimal managements of carotid artery stenosis require the use of medications or lifestyle modifications (stopping smoking and monitoring hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes) to control the processes associated with atheroma to reduce the risk of embolic events. Moreover, antiplatelet therapy should be considered. There is little evidence that antiplatelet therapy is beneficial in preventing stroke or the progression of stenosis in asymptomatic patients,...

Post-Thrombolysis Hemorrhage Risk of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
Conclusion: Intravenous thrombolysis was safe among patients with acute ischemic stroke and incidental unruptured IAs. Future prospective studies with much larger sample sizes are required to clarify the significance of the association between pre-existing unruptured IAs and the development of post-thrombolysis ICH.Eur Neurol 2015;73:37-43
