Prognostic indicators for the onset of ischaemic versus haemorrhagic stroke in stable coronary artery disease
The incidence of stroke may be increased in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to investigate the specific risk factors for the development of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in stable CAD patients.
Patients with stable CAD were prospectively enrolled for future cardiovascular events in Taiwan. All the patients had received coronary interventions and were stable for least 1 month before enrolment. The incidence of ischaemic stroke was identified and confirmed by telephone and hospital records. Baseline characteristics, including demographic data, lipid profiles, medications, and biomarkers for pot...

Effects of robot (SUBAR)-assisted gait training in patients with chronic stroke: Randomized controlled trial
Conclusion:
Our results suggest that SUBAR-assisted gait training improved gait parameters in patients with chronic stroke. However, there was no significant difference in most outcome measures compared to conventional physiotherapy. Further research is warranted to measure the effects of SUBAR-assisted gait training.

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma presenting as rapidly progressive dementia and stroke: A case report
Rationale:
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare form of large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The diagnosis is challenging and frequently made at biopsy. Here we reported a case of IVLBCL limited to the central nervous system (CNS) presenting with progressive dementia and acute stroke, who was diagnosed by brain biopsy.
Patient concerns:
A 47-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital with a 6-month history of rapidly progressive dementia, and left limb weakness and numbness for 3 days. She was successively misdiagnosed with inflammatory demyelinating disease and stroke. Her condition deterior...

Risk factors of postoperative complications following total knee arthroplasty in Korea: A nationwide retrospective cohort study
Background:
The number of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is gradually increasing and there is also increase in postoperative complications. The patient's demographic, socio-economic factors, hospital and clinical factors are all factors that can influence postoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with complications following TKA in a large national cohort.
Methods:
Among patients diagnosed with primary knee arthrosis, a total of 560,954 patients older than 50 years who underwent TKA from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2018 were inclu...

The clinical and neuroradiological features of patients of coexisting atraumatic convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage and large artery atherosclerosis stroke: A retrospective observational study
Atraumatic convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (c-SAH) concomitant with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke has been rarely discussed in the literature. Our aim in this study is to characterize the clinical and neuroradiological features of patients with LAA stroke and c-SAH.
A retrospective study from a single institution was performed between January 2016 and June 2020. Only patients diagnosed with c-SAH and LAA stoke were included in this study. The clinical presentation and neuroimaging finding were summarized by our experienced neurologists.
In total, 12 patients (8 men, 4 women), ranging in age from 45 to 7...

Effects of evidence-based nursing combined with enhanced recovery after surgery on shoulder joint function and neurological function after arthroscopic rotator cuff injury repair
To explore the effect of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) nursing combined with limbs training on shoulder joint range of motion and neurological function of patients with rotator cuff injury after surgery.
60 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. The experimental group received ERAS nursing combined with rehabilitation training, while the control group received routine nursing. The prognostic effects of nursing care and shoulder joint range of motion between the two groups were compared.
There were d...

Endovascular therapy for acute basilar artery occlusion caused by vertebral artery dissection: Case report
We describes a case of basilar artery (BA) occlusion caused by extracranial VAD, in which we used a stent-retriever to achieve thrombectomy in the BA through the contralateral vertebral artery (VA).
Patient concerns:
A 32-year-old male presented with a sudden-onset headache accompanied by articulation disorder, left-sided weakness, and tinnitus in the left ear.
Diagnosis:
Digital subtraction angiography showed the V1 to V2 segment dissection of the left VA and occlusion of the BA.

Efficacy of sequential N-butylphthalide therapy on psychiatric and behavioral functions in acute ischemic stroke
This study examined how the sequential therapy of N-butylphthalide (NBP) could effectively improve physical movement, life activities, and psychological disorders in stroke patients.
Methods:
This double-blind, randomized controlled trial included middle-aged or elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke that had commenced within 48 hours before enrolment in the study. The experimental group was administered 100 mL NBP injections twice a day in the first 14 days, and a sequential 200 mg NBP soft capsule 3 times a day for the next 76 days. The control group was administered 100 mL NBP placebo injections ...

Long-term outcomes of delayed percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A propensity score-matched retrospective study
The best time window of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is within 12 hours for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, there is limited evidence about the proper time of PCI for delayed STEMI patients.
From June 2014 to June 2015, a total of 268 patients receiving PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stent in a Chinese hospital after 3 days of STEMI onset were enrolled in this retrospective study, who were divided into the early group (3–14 days) and the late group (>14 days). A propensity score match was conducted to reduce the baseline difference. The primary endpoint of all-ca...
