Effect of Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Ischemic Stroke on QT Interval
In this study, we investigated whether QT interval dynamics is different in patients with right and left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory stroke.Method: Electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals were compared between baseline (retrieved retrospectively from medical records) and admission (acquired at the acute hospital admission) in 33 patients (65 ± 9.5 years) with right or left MCA territory ischemic stroke. Head computed tomography (CT), cardiac ultrasound, and cardiac CT scans were undertaken.Results: Stroke was located in the right MCA territory in 21 (64%) and in the left MCA territory in 12 (36%) patients. Patients w...

Clinical Deterioration Following Middle Cerebral Artery Hemodynamic Changes after Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Hemodynamic changes in the affected artery occurred in about two-thirds of patients within the first 10 days after receiving intravenous thrombolysis; 18% had hemodynamic deterioration, which was associated with clinical worsening in half of these cases.

Clinical Outcome of Ischemic Stroke in Old Patients Versus Oldest-Old
Background: It is unclear whether very old patients benefit from stroke unit. The aim of our work was to compare the clinical outcome of patients with ischemic stroke aged either 70 or 80 (G 1) versus oldest-old greater than or equal to 81years (G 2). Methods: Of 1187 patients admitted with stroke during 5 years in our stroke unit, we included 252 patients with independent functional status (modified Rankin scale, [mRS] ≤ 2) before the stroke. All patients underwent clinical examination, blood test, electrocardiography, brain imaging, and cerebrovascular ultrasound.

Free Floating Left Atrial Ball Thrombus: A Rare Cause of Stroke
We report a case of cardioembolic stroke as a result of free floating left atrial ball thrombus presenting as a complication of rheumatic mitral valve disease. This case highlights that, in all patients with a history of structural heart disease, atrial fibrillation, or rheumatic fever, prompt cardiac ultrasound to exclude free floating atrial thrombus is essential.

Increasing the Risk of Stroke by Opium Addiction
Stroke is among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. Besides the identified risk factor, Ischemic stroke evidence show drug use develops or exacerbates the atherosclerotic process. The current study aimed at comparing cerebrovascular ultrasounds ’ changes in addicted and nonaddicted people who developed ischemic stroke.

Stroke and Cardio-ankle Vascular Stiffness Index
Background: We investigated the relationship between stroke and cardio-ankle vascular stiffness index (CAVI), a novel noninvasive measure of vascular stiffness.Methods: Eighty-five patients with cerebrovascular disease who underwent CAVI were enrolled in the current study. They were 63 men and 22 women with a mean age of 70.0 ± 10.8 years. They were divided into 4 groups according to neurologic abnormalities and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings: 12 with transient ischemic attack (TIA), 26 with white matter ischemic lesions (WMLs), 17 with large artery atherosclerosis, and 30 with small vessel occlusion. Eight hun...

An Ultrasound Investigation of Tongue Shape in Stroke Patients with Lingual Hemiparalysis
Stroke can cause hemilateral paresis of the tongue. The present study investigated the functional consequences of a lingual hemiparalysis on the symmetry and the grooving of the tongue in the coronal plane during the production of vowel-consonant-vowel sequences. The hypotheses were that, because of the lingual hemiparalysis, the stroke patients' tongue shapes would be (1) more asymmetrical and (2) less grooved than the tongues of the control speakers.

Comparison of Therapeutic Ultrasound and Radial Shock Wave Therapy in the Treatment of Plantar Flexor Spasticity After Stroke: A Prospective, Single-blind, Randomized Clinical Trial
This study aimed to compare the effects of therapeutic ultrasound (US) and radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) in the treatment of plantar flexor spasticity after stroke. Materials and Methods: In this prospective, single-blind, randomized clinical trial, 32 patients (age range 42-78 years; male 19) with stroke were randomly divided into two groups: The US group (n = 16) received the continuous ultrasound, intensity 1.5 w/cm2, frequency 1MHz, and duration 10 minutes. The rESWT group (n = 16) was treated with rESWT, 0.340 mJ/mm2, 2000 shots.

Impaired Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Large Vessel Occlusive Stroke after Successful Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Prospective Cohort Study
Introduction: Successful thrombectomy improves morbidity and mortality after stroke. The present prospective, observational cohort study investigated a potential correlation between the successful restoration of tissue perfusion by mechanical thrombectomy and intact cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA). Objective: Status of CA in patients with large vessel occlusive stroke after thrombectomy. Methods: After thrombectomy CA was measured using transcranial Doppler ultrasound. For this purpose a moving correlation index (Mxa) based on spontaneous arterial blood pressure fluctuations and corresponding cerebral blood flow veloci...

Occlusive Disease and Upright Activity in Acute Ischemic Stroke
The impact of out-of-bed upright activity on outcomes in ischemic stroke patients with severe extra- and intracranial stenosis or occlusion is unknown. Using ultrasound findings from a cohort recruited to A Very Early Rehabilitation Trial (AVERT) which compared higher dose very early mobilisation (VEM) to usual care (UC), we aimed to explore the association between occlusive disease and 3-month outcomes and occlusive disease-by-mobilisation treatment interactions. Participants with ischemic stroke, with carotid and transcranial Doppler ultrasounds performed ≤1 week after admission, were included in this single centre sub...

Stiffness Parameter β of Cardioembolism Measured by Carotid Ultrasound Was Lower Than Other Stroke Subtypes
Background: We estimated the stiffness parameter β (β value), which is useful in the assessment of premature atherosclerosis, among patients with different subtypes of cerebral infarction (CI; eg, small-vessel occlusion, large-artery atherosclerosis, cardioembolism, and other determined and undetermined etiologies) to determine the clinical utility of the β value in classification of stroke patients into CI subtypes.Methods: Carotid ultrasonography (ALOKA ProSound SSD-alpha10) was performed in 31 CI patients and 38 control subjects, and the β value of the bilateral common carotid artery at 2.0 cm proximal to the bifur...

Measuring the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter with Ultrasound in Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke Patients
Measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) with ultrasound enables non-invasive and indirect assessment of increased intracranial pressure (ICP). Although most of the studies were employed with traumatic brain injury patients, it's increasingly popular in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) studies.
