The Diagnostic Value of N-terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide in Differentiating Cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: NT-proBNP has an acceptable diagnostic value in distinguishing CE ischemic stroke from other subtypes. It can be used to differentiate the stroke subtype and facilitate the treatment process in these patients.

Presentation and Outcomes of “Wake-Up Strokes” in a Large Randomized Stroke Trial: Analysis of Data from the International Stroke Trial
Conclusions: WUS patients comprise one quarter to one third of ischemic stroke patients. Despite their more benign presentations, they deteriorate to outcome rates similar to SWA. Although they are typically excluded from time-dependent acute interventions, patients with WUS may benefit from acute intervention to prevent this worsening natural history.

Functional Recovery at 3 Months in Stroke Patients Not Receiving Thrombolytic Therapy: The Comparison Between Patients Arriving Earlier and Later Than 4.5 Hours
Conclusion: Stroke patients arriving at the hospital within and after 4.5 hours of the onset who did not receive the rtPA did not have significant differences in the functional outcomes and quality of life at 3 months. However, the eligibility for rtPA is not known before arriving at the hospital so that the necessity of seeking medical treatment as quickly as possible is still warranted. Increasing effective public awareness regarding stroke risk factors and care should be implemented.

Incidence and Cost of Stroke and Hemorrhage in Patients Diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation in France
Conclusions: The incidence and cost of hospitalization for hemorrhage should be considered in the global burden of AF. These data should be useful for pharmacoeconomic evaluation of new oral anticoagulant medications. Such real-world studies may be relevant for monitoring mid- to long-term morbidity and mortality in the AF population.

Awareness of Risk Factors and Warning Signs of Stroke in a Nigeria University
This study assessed awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs among students and staff of Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria.Methods: This was a cross sectional survey involving 994 (500 students and 494 staff) respondents. Information on the awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs was collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis.Results: Weakness (66.2%) was the most commonly identified warning sign of stroke with more staff (69.8%) identifying correctly than students (62.6%). Hypertension (83.4%) was the most commonly identif...

Thrombolytic Therapy Is an Only Determinant Factor for Stroke Evolution in Large Anterior Choroidal Artery Infarcts
Conclusions: Thrombolytic therapy is an only determinant factor for stroke evolution in large AChA infarcts, which reduced the risk of stroke evolution and improved functional outcome.

Prediction of Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Tissue-Defined Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: Compared with the established measures, our newly created scores could predict future stroke for tissue-defined TIA more reliably.

Mild Stroke and Advanced Age Are the Major Reasons for Exclusion from Thrombolysis in Stroke Patients Admitted within 4.5 Hours
Conclusions: Mild stroke and advanced age were the major reasons for exclusion from thrombolysis in patients admitted within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. Patients who were admitted early and those without a history of ischemic stroke were more likely to receive thrombolysis.

Novel Inflammatory Biomarkers and Their Correlation to Chlamydia pneumoniae Titres in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: The study demonstrated high levels of hsp 65 and neopterin levels in AIS correlated to significantly elevated IgA titres of C pneumoniae. Elevated levels of hsp 65 were associated with stroke severity.

A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Differences in Physical Activity Levels between Stroke Belt and Non-Stroke Belt US Adults
Background: The Stroke Belt is a region of the United States with elevated stroke incidence and prevalence of stroke risk factors. Physical inactivity is an important stroke risk factor, but little is known about whether current physical activity levels differ between Stroke Belt and non-Stroke Belt states. In this nationally representative study, we determined whether unadjusted and adjusted physical activity levels differ between the Stroke Belt region and the rest of the United States. Methods: Using 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, we conducted bivariate analyses to obtain unadjusted physical activ...

Wake-up Stroke Within 3 Hours of Symptom Awareness: Imaging and Clinical Features Compared to Standard Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treated Stroke
Background: Patients with wake-up stroke (WUS) are excluded from thrombolysis because of unknown time of symptom onset. Previous studies have reported similar stroke severity and early ischemic changes (EICs) in patients with WUS and stroke of known onset. These studies, however, included patients within a large timeframe to imaging or did not quantify EICs. The aim of our study was to quantify EICs of patients with WUS presenting within 3 hours of symptom recognition compared to standard 3-hours recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA)–treated patients and assess the extent of ischemic lesion and functional ind...

Prognostic Significance of Smoking in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Within 3 Months of Onset
Conclusions: Based on a detailed analysis of the relationship between recovery patterns after stroke and clinical outcomes in the chronic stage of stroke, smoking cessation may improve the prognosis of patients after stroke.

Cardioembolic Stroke is Frequent in Late Recurrence After Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: The frequency of cardioembolic stroke did not decline as time after TIA passed. More than one quarter of AF patients had been asymptomatic before stroke, suggesting the need for repeated examinations to detect AF in patients with TIA of unknown etiology.
