Effects of uncomfortable care and histamine H2-antagonists on delirium in acute stroke: A propensity score analysis
Uncomfortable care and histamine H2 antagonist (H2A) are implicated in precipitating delirium. In acute stroke, however, the need for them depends on stroke severity, an established risk factor for delirium. So, it is unclear whether care or H2A itself is responsible for delirium. We aimed to evaluate their causal effects on delirium in acute stroke patients.

Stroke-related delirium
Delirium is a serious unstable condition caused by structural brain damage or metabolic encephalopathy. It is defined as a transient cognitive impairment affecting the function of the central nerve system including the sleep quality and psychomotor condition of patients [1].

Strategies to prevent hemorrhagic transformation after reperfusion therapies for acute ischemic stroke: A literature review
Reperfusion therapies by tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have ushered in a new era in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, reperfusion therapy-related HT remains an enigma.

The effect of head positioning on cerebral hemodynamics: Experiences in mild ischemic stroke
It is generally agreed that optimal head positioning is an important consideration in acute stroke management regime. However, there is limited literature investigating the effect of head positioning changes on cerebrovascular physiology in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aim to assess cerebral autoregulation (CA) and associated hemodynamic responses during gradual head positioning (GHP) changes, between AIS and controls.

Author response: Mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients with left ventricular assist device: More information, more evidence.
We thank Sun et al. for their interest in our article on mechanical thrombectomy in patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) [1]. We absolutely concur with their views that further studies are necessary to confirm our findings and there is a need for elucidating the best treatment strategy in this high-risk population.

Initial and subsequent 3-year cost after hospitalization for first acute ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage
To examine 1) the major drivers of index hospitalization and 3-year post-acute follow-up care, 2) cost for rehabilitation and homecare, and 3) indirect cost from lost productivity after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Influence of atrial fibrillation detection time on outcome after endovascular thrombectomy
Cardiac emboli secondary to atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly cause large vessel occlusions (LVO) that require endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) to restore cerebral circulation. Whether the outcome of patients with AF diagnosed after the index stroke (newAF) differs from that of AF-patients in which AF was known before stroke (kAF) remains unknown.

Quantifying regional variations in components of acute stroke unit (ASU) care in the international HeadPoST study
Access to acute stroke unit (ASU) care is known to vary worldwide. We aimed to quantify regional variations in the various components of ASU care.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis associated with SARS-CoV-2; a multinational case series
We present a series of CVST cases with SARS-CoV-2 infection.Methods In a multinational retrospective study, we collected all cases of CVST in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients admitted to nine tertiary stroke centers from the beginning of the pandemic to June 30th, 2020. We compared the demographics, clinical and radiological characteristics, risk factors, and outcome of these patients with a control group of non-SARS-CoV-2 infected CVST patients in the same seasonal period of the years 2012 –2016 from the country where the majority of cases were recruited.

Genetic and NONGENETIC factors associated with CADASIL: A retrospective cohort study
Objective: To explore the role of cardiovascular risk factors and the different NOTCH-3 mutations to explain the variability observed in the clinical presentation of CADASIL.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 331 individuals, 90 were carriers of four mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. These four mutations are the ones identified in our region from the genetic evaluation of probands. Cox proportional hazards models were fitted to estimate the effect of genetic and cardiovascular factors on the onset of migraine, first stroke, and dementia.

Impact of pulmonary embolism on in-hospital mortality of patients with ischemic stroke
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent complication in immobile stroke patients and an important cause of death in stroke patients. We aimed to investigate predictors of PE and impact of PE on survival of ischemic stroke patients.

Acute ischemic stroke diagnosis using brain tissue pulsations
This study is the first to explore the clinical potential of measuring BTPs using ultrasound in acute ischemic stroke patients.BTPs were measured in 24 healthy volunteers (aged 52 –82 years) and 14 acute ischemic stroke patients (aged 51–86 years) using a novel Transcranial Tissue Doppler (TCTD) method. Measurements were quick to perform and were well tolerated by all subjects.

Antecedent febrile illness and occurrence of stroke in West Africa: The SIREN study
Acute infections have been posited as potential precipitants or triggers of the occurrence of stroke among adults with traditional vascular risk factors. We evaluated associations between stroke occurrence and reported febrile illness within 4 weeks (potential antecedent infections) among West Africans.

After stroke, apraxia of eyelid opening is associated with high mortality and right hemispheric infarction
Apraxia of eyelid opening (AEO) refers to impaired voluntary eyelid elevation of supranuclear origin. AEO is well-described in neurodegenerative disorders, but its frequency in stroke is unknown.
