Delayed-onset motor aphasia succeeds Holmes' tremor and neuropathic pain after left thalamic hemorrhage
Although most neurological symptoms related to cerebrovascular diseases appear immediately after the events, some delayed-onset neurological symptoms, such as Holmes' tremor or central post-stroke pain (CPSP), can occur after a certain period of time [1]. The alterations in the neural networks caused by maladaptative neuroplasticity have been hypothesized to underlie this pathophysiology [2]. Here we report on a 53-year-old male patient who presented with a rare, delayed-onset motor aphasia caused by a left thalamic hemorrhage.

Cerebral thrombi of cardioembolic etiology have an increased content of neutrophil extracellular traps
Inflammation is emerging as an essential trigger for thrombosis. In the interplay between innate immunity and coagulation cascade, neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can promote thrombus formation and stabilization. In ischemic stroke, it is uncertain whether the involvement of the inflammatory component may differ in thrombi of diverse etiology. We here aimed to evaluate the presence of neutrophils and NETs in thrombi of diverse etiology retrieved by endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).

Are there disparities in acute stroke treatment between the Jewish and Arab populations in Israel? Results from the National Acute Stroke Israeli registry
According to the latest reported data from the National Acute Stroke Israeli Survey (NASIS), around 18,000 strokes occur annually in Israel. Data regarding disparities in stroke care between the Jewish and the Arab populations in Israel are lacking.

Significance of concurrent ipsilateral intracranial carotid artery stenosis in carotid revascularization
A 71-year-old male presenting with a transient ischemic attack was found to have an ipsilateral severe proximal right internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis as graded per the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) criteria. He was subsequently treated with right internal carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The surgery was complicated by a right sided watershed infarction determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head. His post-surgery National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 6 and the 90 days modified Rankin Scale score was 3.

Characteristics and outcomes of 100 consecutive patients with acute stroke and COVID-19
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic started as a respiratory illness. Now, there are increasing reports of its hypercoagulable and thrombotic complications [1] leading to stroke [2,3]. Initial studies suggested strokes to be a feature of severe and late COVID-19 [2,4]; usually occurring in the second week of illness after the onset of typical respiratory symptoms [4]. Recent studies identified these even in mild to moderate infection [5,6]. A recent meta-analysis also noted that 24.5% of patients with stroke symptoms did not experience any of the other typical COVID- 19 symptoms [6].

Trends in ischemic stroke outcomes in a rural population in the United States
The stroke mortality rate has gradually declined due to improved interventions and controlled risk factors. We investigated the trends in stroke recurrence and all-cause mortality in stroke patients from a rural population in the United States between 2004 and 2018.

Post-stroke dementia and permanent institutionalization
Dementia is among the most frequent causes of institutionalization. To serve the purpose of preventive strategies, there are no follow-up studies that have evaluated the actual impact of post-stroke dementia on institutionalization. We therefore compared the institutionalization rate and length of stay in an institutional care facility of patients with post-stroke dementia with stroke patients without dementia.

Risk profile of decompressive hemicraniectomy for malignant stroke after revascularization treatment
Revascularization by pharmacological and/or endovascular treatment is an effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke caused by artery occlusion. In the context of malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMI), decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) can be life-saving. However, its effectiveness and safety after revascularization have not been thoroughly assessed. This retrospective study aimed to determine the risk profile of pre-surgical revascularization treatment (RT) for subsequent DHC.

Neural substrates of subcortical aphasia in subacute stroke: Voxel-based lesion symptom mapping study
Subcortical aphasia develops as a result of damage to subcortical brain areas without loss of cortical functions. Although earlier voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) studies have shown possible neural correlates for aphasia, it remains to be clarified which brain regions are associated with subcortical aphasia. The aim of this study was to investigate the neural substrates associated with subcortical aphasia in patients with stroke using VLSM and atlas-based analyses to explore the involvement of white matter tracts and subcortical structures.

Psychostimulant use disorder emphasizing methamphetamine and the opioid -dopamine connection: Digging out of a hypodopaminergic ditch
