The efficacy and safety of aspirin plus dipyridamole versus aspirin in secondary prevention following TIA or stroke: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Conclusions: Aspirin plus dipyridamole combination therapy was beneficial in reducing the recurrence of stroke, and did not increase the bleeding event. Hence, aspirin plus dipyridamole combination therapy is effective and safe for the secondary prevention of stroke.

Predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after intravenous thrombolysis: Stroke territory as a potential pitfall
Conclusions: The risk of SICH after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with posterior circulation stroke was low enough to render the SITS SICH risk score or other similar prediction models unnecessary. Awareness of stroke territory might help clinicians judiciously use the risk assessment models.

Stroke in essential thrombocythemia
Conclusion: Our findings lead us to suppose that ET may be regarded as a risk factor for stroke (mainly of ischemic, small-vessel type), and the early diagnosis and the personalized management of the patient's global vascular risk in the treatment of ET may promote the prevention of further cerebrovascular events.

Cerebral microbleeds and white matter hyperintensities in cardioembolic stroke patients due to atrial fibrillation: single-centre longitudinal study
Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are a potential predictor of future stroke risk with clinical relevance for antithrombotic treatments, especially in ischaemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation. However, prospective data on CMBs and risk of stroke in this particular stroke population remain scarce. We therefore performed a single centre longitudinal study to investigate CMBs and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and the risk of future stroke. Consecutive acute stroke patients, admitted during 2008 –2012 for presumed cardioembolic stroke due to non-valvular atrial fibrillation with available follow-up for the occurren...

Experience of pediatric stroke from a tertiary medical center in North India
Conclusion: AIS is more common than ICH in this study and 8.9% patients died. Infection is the most common cause of pediatric stroke in Northern India which is amenable to therapy and is preventable.

The Sub-Saharan Africa Conference on Stroke (SSACS): An idea whose time has come
Stroke is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where an unprecedented rise in stroke burden is currently raging, has the highest age-standardized stroke incidence, stroke prevalence, and stroke mortality rates. This is in sharp contrast to the relative decline in stroke incidence in high-income countries over the past four decades through better awareness and control of vascular risk factors. Compared to other groups, Africans tend to have a higher risk of stroke, higher percentage of the hemorrhagic type and much poorer outcomes.

Prevalence of stroke in acute vertigo presentations: A UK tertiary stroke centre perspective
The reported prevalence of stroke amongst patients presenting to hospital with acute vertigo and/or imbalance is c. 5%, leading to the pervasive notion amongst emergency and stroke physicians, that stroke is uncommon in this cohort.To interrogate the veracity of this notion, we systematically and retrospectively screened the electronic care records in our institution of patients referred as suspected stroke, to a hyperacute stroke service at a large tertiary referral centre.We screened 24,310 consecutive patients' electronic case records presenting to our hospital as an emergency over a 4-month period, 332 of whom were ref...

Cognitive impairment and hypothymia in post stroke patients
Abstract: 129 patients aged 18–84 in early rehabilitation period of the first hemispheric ischemic stroke and 48 patients with cerebrovascular disorders without stroke in anamnesis were observed. Cognitive functions (MMSE, FAB, Clock Drawing Test, the 5-Word test, attention assessment, Semantic Verbal Fluency test) and emotional sphere (CES-D) were studied. Investigation was carried out twice during the early recovery period 3–4weeks and 3months after the stroke. Statistically significant decrease of cognitive functions in comparison with control group data was revealed. Cognitive deficiency and depressed mood were fix...

Use of DWI-only MR protocol for screening stroke mimics
Abstract: Purpose: Patients presenting with focal neurological symptoms may suffer from stroke or stroke mimics. Diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) is highly sensitive for identifying acute ischemia. Therefore, we aimed to explore whether a DWI-only protocol would help differentiate stroke from stroke mimics.Methods: We identified all patients with possible but not definite stroke that underwent DWI-only MRI between 6/2010 and 8/2011. Patients with a positive DWI lesion were compared to those with negative DWI findings on demographics, risk factor profile, final discharge diagnoses, and outcome.Results: A total of 124 patients w...

Depression, activities of daily living and quality of life in patients with stroke
Conclusion: ADL have a strong relationship with both level of depression and QOL in patients with stroke. It appears that motivating to perform ADL may enhance QOL. Further investigation with a larger sample size is required to better understand the causal relationship of these factors.

Early initiation of new oral anticoagulants in acute stroke and TIA patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
Conclusions: The NOAC may be safe in acute stroke or TIA patients with NVAF. A large, prospective study is needed to confirm this.

Stroke warning syndrome: 18 new cases
Conclusion: SWS is an under-recognized syndrome. Intravenous rt-PA treatment seems to have lower efficacy than in other subtypes of strokes, but none of the patients with SWS undergoing treatment presented haemorrhagic transformation or other complications.

Elevated urea level is associated with poor clinical outcome and increased mortality post intravenous tissue plasminogen activator in stroke patients
Conclusions: Elevated serum urea was independently associated with poor clinical outcome and mortality in acute ischaemic stroke patients treated with IV tPA.
