Safety of a “Drip and Ship” Intravenous Thrombolysis Protocol for Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Our “drip and ship” protocol for IVT is safe. The protocol was not associated with an excess of sICH or in-hospital mortality compared with patients who received IVT at the CPSC.

Optimal Timing and Duration of Continuous Electrocardiographic Monitoring for Detecting Atrial Fibrillation in Stroke Patients
Conclusions: We suggest that in order to enhance the detection rate of AF, CEM could be generalized in the stroke unit. It must be started early in patients with acute stroke and prolonged over a minimum of 4 days.

Safety and Effectiveness of Endovascular Treatment after 6 Hours of Symptom Onset in Patients with Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke: A Matched Case Control Study
Conclusions: We did not observe any evidence of benefit in halting neurologic worsening or improving outcomes among patients undergoing endovascular treatment for treatment of an anterior circulation ischemic stroke after 6 hours of symptom onset. Strong evidence of both the safety and efficacy of emergent endovascular treatment when administered to patients with stroke in the anterior circulation is needed.

Trends in Cancer Diagnoses among Inpatients Hospitalized with Stroke
Background: Cancer, by conferring a hypercoagulable state, may lead to an ischemic stroke. Relatively little is known about the prevalence and evolution of cancer among stroke patients over the last decade.Methods: We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample to identify discharges with any International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, diagnosis code for cancer and ischemic stroke from 1997 to 2006. We then calculated age-adjusted yearly acute ischemic stroke hospitalization rates among adult populations with and without cancer.Results: Prevalence of cancer among hospitalized stroke patients increased from 1997 to ...

Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of Stroke
Conclusions: The NLR at the time of hospital admission may be a predictor of short-term mortality in acute stroke patients. Because of the routine use and inexpensive nature of hemogram analysis, the NLR should be investigated in future prospective, randomized controlled trials investigating acute stroke.

Factors Associated with Delays in Seeking Treatment for Stroke Care in Veterans
Conclusions: Race appears to be a key factor associated with an increased likelihood of delays in seeking urgent stroke care in veterans. Future studies need to further examine the complex sociodemographic profile of patients who are most likely to delay seeking care for stroke and to develop interventions to reduce the impact of DST.

The Impact Factors on the Cost and Length of Stay among Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Age 65 and over, atrial fibrillation, stroke treatment, and subtypes were the significant predictive factors affecting hospital costs and LOS. Compared to other countries, Taiwan spent the least while Canada had the highest expense. The United States had the shortest LOS (6 days) in contrast to Canada with the longest LOS (34-47 days). Regarding mean daily cost of stroke, the United States had the highest cost per day while China spent the least.

Periodontal Disease and Recurrent Vascular Events in Stroke/Transient Ischemic Attack Patients
Periodontal disease (PD) has been shown to be associated with incident stroke. We investigated whether PD is independently associated with recurrent vascular events and certain inflammatory markers in stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients. In this prospective, longitudinal, hospital-based cohort study, PD was assessed in stroke/TIA patients. High periodontal disease (HPD) was defined as the highest tertile of extent (% of sites) with an attachment loss of 5 mm or more. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (s-ICAM) were measured. The patient...

Incidence Rate of Cerebrovascular Diseases in Northern Japan Determined from the Iwate Stroke Registry with an Inventory Survey System
Conclusions: High incidence rates of cerebrovascular diseases were revealed in the stroke registry with a good inventory survey in northern Iwate Prefecture, Japan.

The Effect of Ginkgo biloba on Functional Outcome of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Clinical Trial
Background: Acute ischemic stroke is a major cerebrovascular disease with potential morbidity and mortality. Despite the availability of thrombolytic therapy in some centers, risk factor modification and rehabilitation therapy are the mainstays of stroke management. There is supporting evidence that Ginkgo biloba may afford neuroprotection and improve the outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized controlled trial, we assessed the efficacy of G biloba on functional outcome in patients with acute stroke. The National Institutes of Heath Stroke Scale (NIHSS) wa...

Recovery of Swallowing after Dysphagic Stroke: An Analysis of Prognostic Factors
Background: Dysphagia is a major complication of stroke, but factors influencing its recovery are incompletely understood. The goal of this study was to identify important prognostic variables affecting swallowing recovery after acute ischemic stroke.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our patient database to identify acute ischemic stroke patients who developed dysphagia after stroke but were free of other confounding conditions affecting swallowing. Of the 1774 patients screened, 323 met the study criteria. We assessed the effect of age, sex, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, level of co...

Venous Thromboembolism in the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Acute Ischemic Stroke Population: Incidence and Patterns of Prophylaxis
Conclusions: Despite a high overall rate of VTE prophylaxis, VTE was found to occur in approximately 3% of GWTG-S patients. Reported rates of VTE prophylaxis differed among hospitals by region and hospital type, and among patients by age, race, and medical comorbidities.

Studying Effects of Weather Parameters on Acute Stroke: Considering the Contribution of “Risk Factors” and “Triggering Factors” Together
A recently published article in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases regarding the effect of season and atmospheric temperature variation in acute stroke by Gomes et al has drawn our attention. The authors studied the variation in the incidence of stroke hospitalizations across seasons and with short-term temperature change in a tropical setting by examining 651 consecutive stroke events occurred during the period of August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006. The study illustrated that sudden declines in the minimum temperature over the 5-10 days before the event were associated with a 20%-30% higher incidence...
