The relationship of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio with clinical outcome and final infarct core in acute ischemic stroke patients who have undergone endovascular therapy.
In this study we aimed to evaluate whether the PLR had a prognostic role in stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy and attempted to determine the effect that this ratio had on their survival. METHODS: Over a three-year period, demographic, clinical, and angiographic findings of 57 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy were evaluated. RESULTS: The patients were divided into two groups on the basis of a PLR level cut-off value of 145 based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Successful revascularization (mTICI 2b and 3) was achieved in 42 of 57 (73.7%) pa...

Local cerebral hypothermia induced by selective infusion of cold lactated ringer's: a feasibility study in rhesus monkeys.
CONCLUSION: Local infusion of ice-cold lactated Ringer's solution via micro-catheter is a safe and effective method for selective cerebral hypothermia. This cooling method could potentially be developed as a new treatment in acute ischemic stroke. PMID: 27320250 [PubMed - in process]

Multi-mode CT in the evaluation of leptomeningeal collateral flow and the related factors: comparing with digital subtraction angiography.
DISCUSSION: Our data showed that multi-mode CT score has a high value in predicting leptomeningeal collateral flow in ischemic stroke. PMID: 27320244 [PubMed - in process]

Internal maxillary artery to intracranial artery bypass: a case series of 31 patients with chronic internal carotid/middle cerebral arterial-sclerotic steno-occlusive disease.
CONCLUSIONS: By supplying an adequate flow to a larger flow territory of chronically stenotic/occlusive major cerebral arteries, IMA bypass surgery is efficient for restoring hemodynamics in selected patients and improving their neurological deficits.

Cortical and subcortical vascular hypointensity on T2* weighted imaging in moyamoya disease.
CONCLUSION: CSVH on T2* WI may be a useful tool for diagnosing and evaluating the extent of moyamoya disease. Our small series study shows that revascularization surgery can decrease the number of CSVH. PMID: 26901097 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predictors of neurological deterioration during hospitalization: results from the Chinese Intracranial Atherosclerosis (CICAS) Study.
DISCUSSION: Patients with watershed infarcts and MCA or BA stenosis or occlusion should be monitored closely, and various therapeutic strategies should be administered simultaneously to prevent pneumonia during hospitalisation. PMID: 25917464 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
