Airplane stroke syndrome
We describe the patient, stroke, and flight characteristics. Over the study period, 131 million passengers arrived at Melbourne airport. Our centre admitted 5727 stroke patients, of whom 42 (0.73%) had flight-related strokes. Flight-related stroke patients were younger (median age 65 versus 73, p<0.001), had similar stroke severity, and received intravenous thrombolysis more often than non-flight-related stroke patients. Seven patients had flight-related intracerebral haemorrhage. The aetiology of the ischaemic strokes was cardioembolic in 14/35 (40%), including seven patients with confirmed PFO, one with atrial sep...

Perioperative stroke after cerebral aneurysm clipping: Risk factors and postoperative impact
This study assesses patient-specific independent predictors of perioperative stroke in relation to surgical aneurysm clipping. Additionally, this study evaluates the postoperative complications of stroke. We performed a retrospective chart review of 437 patients with ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, which underwent surgical clipping from 2006 to 2013. Multivariate logistical regression was utilized to assess the effect of age, race, gender, subarachnoid hemorrhage, Hunt and Hess (H/H) grade, aneurysm location, and intraoperative somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) changes on the frequency of perioperativ...

Magnetisation transfer parameters and stroke outcome
Publication date: Available online 16 April 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): I. Sibon , T. Tourdias , S. Felix , J. Asselineau , L. Bracoud , A. Vivot , F. Rouanet , P. Renou , J.M. Orgogozo , V. Dousset Our aim was to evaluate the association between magnetisation transfer imaging (MTI) parameters measured 30 to 45days after a cerebrovascular insult and post-stroke functional outcome at the same time. MTI offers the opportunity to depict subtle microstructural changes in infarcted areas. The clinical significance of the heterogeneity of brain damage within ischaemic stroke lesions is unknown. We p...

A troponin study on patients with ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage: Type II myocardial infarction is significantly associated with stroke severity, discharge disposition and mortality
Publication date: Available online 20 April 2019Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Ayham M. Alkhachroum, Benjamin Miller, Tarek Chami, Curtis Tatsuoka, Cathy SilaAbstractTroponin elevations due to Type II myocardial infarction (T2MI) are associated with hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes but there is little data on stroke severity, troponin elevation and outcome. We studied 1655 patients from a tertiary medical center between 1/2013-4/2015 using multivariate regression analysis for demographics, vascular risk factors, admission stroke severity, laboratory tests, echocardiogram results and discharge dispositio...

Clinical presentation and imaging characteristics of occult lung cancer associated ischemic stroke
Publication date: February 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 22, Issue 2 Author(s): Hui Mai , Jun Xia , Yongjun Wu , Junlong Ke , Junliang Li , Jiangang Pan , Wubiao Chen , Yiming Shao , Zhi Yang , Saihua Luo , Yonghua Sun , Bin Zhao , Longxuan Li We investigated the clinical and imaging characteristics of initial and recurrent strokes in patients with occult lung cancer associated ischemic stroke (OLCA-stroke). A retrospective review of all ischemic stroke patients with occult lung cancer in the absence of conventional stroke etiologies between 2005 and 2013 was conducted. We compared the initial and ...

Impact of risk factors for recurrence after the first ischemic stroke in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 16 October 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Shengbang Zheng, Baodong YaoAbstractRisk factors for first-ever stroke have been studied extensively, while those for recurrent stroke are not accurately understood. To provide the adequate secondary prevention for the patients, it is necessary to reveal the risk factors that dominate recurrent stroke. Multiple databases were adopted to search for the relevant studies and full-text articles involving in the risk factors for stroke recurrence were reviewed. Meta-analyses were performed with Review Manager 5.0 to estimate the...

Fluid and energy intake in stroke patients during acute hospitalization in a stroke unit
Publication date: Available online 14 January 2019Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Alex Buoite Stella, Marina Gaio, Giovanni Furlanis, Pauline Douglas, Marcello Naccarato, Paolo ManganottiAbstractProper hydration and nutrition have been found to be contributing factors to a better recovery in patients after stroke. A better knowledge of factors influencing fluid and energy intake may contribute to a better care of the acute stroke patient. Aim of this study was to describe hydration status, fluid intake, and energy intake of stroke patients during acute hospitalization in a stroke unit. A retrospective de...

When does spasticity in the upper limb develop after a first stroke? A nationwide observational study on 861 stroke patients
This study investigated the time taken for upper extremity spasticity to develop and its regional difference after first-ever stroke onset in a nationwide multicenter study in South Korea. The retrospective observational study included 861 individuals with post-stroke spasticity in the upper limbs. Spasticity in the upper extremity joints was defined as a modified Ashworth Scale score ≥1. The median time to develop upper limb spasticity after stroke onset was 34 days. 12% of post-stroke spasticity cases developed between 2 months and 3 months and 13% developed after 3 months from onset. At the time of diagnosis o...

Cerebral collaterals and stroke in patients with isolated carotid artery dissections
Publication date: Available online 11 January 2020Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Ching-Jen Chen, Ilana E. Green, Bradford B. Worrall, Andrew M. SoutherlandAbstractTo investigate potential association between collateral arterial supply and stroke in patients with isolated internal carotid artery dissection (iCeAD). We hypothesized a lower risk of stroke in patients with more robust collateral supply. This is a single-center, retrospective review of iCeAD patients between 1994 and 2018. iCeAD patients with sufficient neuroimaging data were included. Patients were categorized based on cerebral infarction (...

Publication date: February 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 22, Issue 2 Author(s): Yuan-Yang Cheng , Kuo-Hsuan Hsu , Yi-Huei Chen , Ching-Heng Lin Although past studies have confirmed that chronic dust exposure is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the relationship between it and cerebrovascular disease is still unclear. We aimed to determine whether pneumoconiosis is related to increased incidence of ischemic stroke in the following 5 to 11years. We selected 1238 patients with pneumoconiosis from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance database as our study cohort. After matching for age, sex and...
