N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide—how far can we extrapolate?
We read the article by Velibey et al with interest. Their result is consistent with various other studies done in the past, but long-term (4 years) survival prediction on hospital admission with a single plasma N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level is a new and important finding. The mean value of NT-proBNP is significantly correlated with ejection fraction and the functional class (New York Heart Association Class) of heart failure . The author had neither commented on the functional status of the patients nor on the etiology of acute shortness of breath at the time of admission. Testing the...

Optimized acute stroke pathway using medical advanced regulation for stroke and repeated public awareness campaigns
Conclusion: Educational programs repeated each year are useful to the population for learning how to recognize stroke symptoms and send straight away an emergency call. Combining the emergency action with an early remote evaluation by the stroke center team and a direct admission in imaging department shortens the time-to-treatment delay. This model is reproducible in different health care systems.

A patient with altered mental status and possible seizure reveals an atypical aortic dissection upon workup
In this report, we present the case of a 57-year-old woman who was transported to the emergency department with an acute episode of altered mental status, presenting as a possible stroke with possible seizures. The patient's only complaint was mild low back pain. Physical examination revealed disorientation to time with no other neurologic deficits or abnormal findings. Results from initial noncontrast head computed tomography, chest radiograph, and laboratory studies were all normal, except for an elevated d-dimer and serum creatinine. Chest computed tomography with contrast demonstrated a type A aortic dissection. The pa...

Tissue plasminogen activator for transient ischemic attack: the case for “off-label” use of thrombolytics
We describe an illustrative case of a patient with recurring middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemia, where our risk benefit analysis led to the administration of thrombolytic therapy despite the patient’s score of 0 on the National Institute of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS).

Hemichorea after multiple bee stings
We report the case of a 50-year-old man who developed involuntary movements of the left leg 24 hours after multiple bee stings, and the cause was confirmed to be a right temporal infarction on a diffusion magnetic resonance imaging scan. Thus, we concluded that the involuntary movement disorder was caused by right temporal infarction that occurred after multiple bee stings.
