Stroke mortality and its determinants in a resource-limited setting: A prospective cohort study in Yaounde, Cameroon
: About three quarters of stroke deaths occur in developing countries including those in sub-Saharan African. Short and long-term stroke fatality data are needed for health service and policy formulation.

Impact of BNP on cryptogenic stroke without potential embolic sources on transesophageal echocardiography
This study sought to analyze the clinical signs of cryptogenic stroke (CS) without such embolic etiologies and to examine the association between CS and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which is currently unknown.

Diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography perfusion in patients with acute stroke: A meta-analysis
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography perfusion (CTP) in diagnosing acute ischemic stroke in patients presenting to the emergency department with stroke-like symptoms.

Two young stroke patients associated with regular intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy
We recently experienced 2 young adult patients who developed ischemic stroke after regular intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy for agammaglobulinemia with diagnosis of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) in their childhood. Patient 1 was 26-year-old woman, who developed Wallenberg's syndrome 6days after the last IVIg therapy, but had no further stroke recurrence with cilostazol later. Patient 2 was 37-year-old man, who developed recurrent cerebral infarction in the territory of bilateral lenticulostriate branches like branch atheromatous disease (BAD) several days after the IVIg therapy.

Sensorimotor Modulation by Botulinum Toxin A in Post-Stroke Arm Spasticity: Passive Hand Movement
In post-stroke spasticity, functional imaging may uncover modulation in the central sensorimotor networks associated with botulinum toxin type A (BoNT) therapy. Investigations were performed to localize brain activation changes in stroke patients treated with BoNT for upper limb spasticity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Angiopoietin-like protein 4 serum levels and gene polymorphisms are associated with large artery atherosclerotic stroke
Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is a central player in lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis and may thus be involved in ischaemic stroke. However, no study in humans has investigated the association of ANGPTL4 gene polymorphisms or serum levels with ischaemic stroke.

The impacts of premorbid hypertension treatment on functional outcomes of ischemic stroke
This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of premorbid hypertension treatment on the functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke and hypertension.

Case-fatality and functional status three months after first-ever stroke in Vietnam
To provide novel information on outcomes after first-ever stroke in Vietnam, case-fatality and functional status were assessed 3months after stroke onset.

Increased expression of microRNA-21 in peripheral blood mediates the down-regulation of IFN-γ and increases the prevalence of stroke-associated infection
Increasing levels of microRNA (miRNA)-21 can lead to IFN-γ deficiency, thereby suppressing immune function. Whether changes in the peripheral blood expression of miRNA-21 in patients with acute stroke are related to stroke-associated infection (SAI) remains unsettled.

Minimum intravenous thrombolysis utilization rates in acute ischemic stroke to achieve population effects on disability: A discrete-event simulation model
The only pharmacological treatment with proven cost-effectiveness in reducing acute ischemic stroke (AIS) associated disability is intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator but it's utilization rate is still low in most of the world. We estimated the minimum thrombolysis utilization rate needed to decrease the prevalence of stroke-related disability at a population level by using a discrete-event simulation model.

Association of black race with recurrent stroke risk
The significantly higher risk of primary stroke in Black vs. Whites is very well established. However, very few studies have specifically examined the presence of this racial disparity in recurrent stroke risk.

Haemorrhagic transformation in ischaemic stroke is more frequent than clinically suspected – A neuropathological study
The vast majority of literature on the frequency of the haemorrhagic transformation of ischaemic stroke is based on imaging studies. The purpose of the present study was to assess the added value of autopsy and neuropathological analysis in a neurology centre with emphasis on acute stroke care.

Predictors of extubation success in acute ischemic stroke patients
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients often undergo intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV). Prolonged intubation and MV have disadvantages and complications. Conventional extubation criteria based only on respiratory parameters are insufficient to guide extubation practices in stroke patients where capacity for airway protection is a major concern.Objective.To identify clinical and neuroanatomical markers of successful extubation in AIS patients requiring MV.
