Intracerebral hemorrhage in a middle-aged cocaine user despite normal blood pressures
We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who did not declare at admission her 4-year history of intranasal cocaine hydrochloride and developed an intracerebral subcortical spontaneous hemorrhage. She documented a normal blood pressure, and computer tomography angiography did not show vascular abnormalities and excluded the presence of arterial aneurisms.

Investigation of Oxidant and Antioxidant Levels in Patients with Acute Stroke in the Emergency Service
In this study, we aimed to identify oxidative stress and the disruption in the oxidant-antioxidant balance in the acute phase of stroke, and therefore to detect markers that will guide in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke.

2016: Emergency Medical Services Annotated Literature in Review
In the daily practice of emergency medicine, physicians constantly interact with components of emergency medical services (EMS) systems. The provision of high quality care in the prehospital setting requires emergency physicians to remain abreast of recent literature that may inform the care of patients prior to their arrival at the emergency department. This literature review will examine some recent trends in the prehospital literature, including cardiac arrest care, trauma, myocardial infarction, and stroke.

Impact of an emergency medicine pharmacist on time to thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke
The time to thrombolysis, commonly termed “door-to-needle” (DTN) is a measure of stroke center quality and effective patient care. The 2013 American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) Guidelines for the Early Management of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke recommend that hospitals administer thrombolytics to all eligible ischemic stroke patients in less than 60 minutes from arrival [1]. Time to initiation of thrombolytics in ischemic stroke patients has been associated with improved neurological outcomes, decreased adverse effects, and reduced mortality with early thrombolysis associated with the...

Serum albumin level is associated with the recurrence of acute ischemic stroke
Previous studies have confirmed that low serum albumin levels in acute ischemic stroke patients increased the risk for poor outcome and death, demonstrating the neuroprotective role of albumin. However, there are few studies investigating the relationship between albumin levels and recurrence of stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of serum albumin level on the risk of recurrence in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Emergency Transport of Stroke Suspects in a Rural State: Opportunities for Improvement
Time delay is the key obstacle for receiving successful stroke treatment. Alteplase therapy must start within 4.5 hours from stroke occurrence. Rapid transport to a Primary Stroke Center (PSC) or Acute Stroke Ready Hospital (ASRH) by the emergency medical system (EMS) paramedics is vital. We determined transport time and destination data for EMS identified and delivered stroke suspects in Arkansas during 2013. Our objective was to analyze transport time and the hospital qualification for stroke care across the state.

Stroke prevention in real-life practice
We have greatly enjoyed reading the recently published article by McIntyre et al [1] . The authors distributed a 16-question, Web-based survey to Canadian residency programs and each scenario involved a 76-year-old man with new atrial fibrillation (AF) and a CHADS2 score of 3. The authors revealed the discordance between clinical guidelines for stroke prevention in AF and the practice of Canadian emergency medicine residents. Despite ranking the risk of adverse events as their most important consideration and the superior safety profile of those non –vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), residents underused ...

The effect of ethyl pyruvate and N-acetylcysteine on ischemia-reperfusion injury in an experimental model of ischemic stroke
Reperfusion therapies play an important role in early-period treatment for patients presenting to the emergency department due to stroke. However, the ischemia-reperfusion injury that may occur with reperfusion must then be considered. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and ethyl pyruvate in preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Reperfusion therapies play an important role in early-period treatment of patients presenting to the emergency department due to stroke.
