Prognostic prediction of thrombolytic therapy with rt-PA in acute ischemic stroke patients using an artificial intelligence model
CONCLUSIONS: ANN model is as effective as a logistic regression model in predicting the prognosis of AIS after thrombolytic therapy with rt-PA. Moreover, ANN is slightly superior to logistic regression in accuracy, precision and F1 score.PMID:37560207 | PMC:PMC10408517

Development of a decision analytic model to support decision making and risk communication about thrombolytic treatment
Conclusions: We have produced a DAM that provides an estimation of the likely benefits and risks of thrombolysis for individual patients, which has subsequently been embedded in a computerised decision aid to support better decision-making and informed consent.

Homocysteine-lowering therapy and early functional outcomes of ischemic patients with H-type hypertension: a retrospective analysis of CNSR
This study evaluated the effects of HLT during hospitalization on the early outcomes of the 792 ischemic stroke patients with H-type hypertension from the China National Stroke Registry. The subjects were divided into HLT and non-HLT groups. Demographic and laboratory information were collected, while the functional outcome at discharge and at 90 days follow-up were assessed by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) in both groups. We found that in the univariate analysis, the proportions of patients with good functional outcomes (mRS = 0–2) were 31.68 versus 29.36 % (OR 0.90, 95 ...

Multivariate prediction of functional outcome using lesion topography characterized by acute diffusion tensor imaging
Publication date: Available online 10 April 2019Source: NeuroImage: ClinicalAuthor(s): Eric Moulton, Romain Valabregue, Stephane Lehéricy, Yves Samson, Charlotte RossoAbstractThe relationship between stroke topography and functional outcome has largely been studied with binary manual lesion segmentations. However, stroke topography may be better characterized by continuous variables capable of reflecting the severity of ischemia, which may be more pertinent for long-term outcome. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) constitutes a powerful means of quantifying the degree of acute ischemia and its potential relation to functional...

“A contemporary description of staphylococcus aureus prosthetic valve endocarditis. Differences according to the time elapsed from surgery”
Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic valve endocarditis (SAPVE) has a poor prognosis. There are no large series that accurately describe this entity. This is a retrospective observational study on a prospective cohort from 3 Spanish reference hospitals for cardiac surgery, including 78 definitive episodes of left SAPVE between 1996 and 2016. Fifty percent had a Charlson Index score>5; 53% were health care-related. Twenty percent did not present fever. Complications at diagnosis included: severe heart failure (HF, 29%), septic shock (SS, 17.9%), central nervous system abnormalities (19%), septic metastasis (4%). Hemorrhagic s...

Thrombectomy or Intravenous Thrombolysis in patients with NIHSS of 5 or less?
Conclusions: MT in patients with minor strokes and intracranial vessel occlusion (IVO) is safe and can determine a rapid improvement of NIHSS score. MT seems also associated with a higher rate of patients discharged at home after hospitalization and better clinical outcome at 3-month follow-up. Larger randomized trials are warranted to confirm these results.

Recanalization is the Key for Better Outcome of Thrombectomy in Basilar Artery Occlusion
ConclusionReperfusion is the major predictor of functional outcome in BAO in clinical practice. Failed recanalization resulted in a  13-fold increase of the risk of poor outcome. Successful recanalization is crucial to achieve a better functional outcome in BAO.

The clinical and cognitive spectrum of locked-in syndrome: 1-year follow-up of 100 patients
AbstractIn patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS), it is not known exactly to what extent cognitive functions are preserved and it is not known exactly how much it has improved. We aimed to examine the clinical and cognitive features of LIS 1 year after stroke. One hundred patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS) were recruited between January 2008 and May 2019 among 8200 patients with ischemic stroke. Patients were classified into two groups as single pontine infarcts (n = 72), and pontine plus multiple ischemic lesions (PMIL) (n = 28). Since the patients had limited motor and verbal response, the cognitive status o...

Full Reperfusion Without Functional Independence After Mechanical Thrombectomy in the Anterior Circulation
ConclusionA  variety of preinterventional factors may predict FR with substantial certainty, but the prediction model can still be improved by considering parameters only available after MT, in particular early neurological improvement.

Diffuse cerebral petechial hemorrhage in an 8-year-old girl with MRSA pneumonia and sepsis
An 8-year-old girl in septic shock due to necrotizing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia developed signs of end-organ damage, new right hemiplegia, and left gaze preference. Susceptibility-weighted MRI demonstrated extensive multifocal petechial hemorrhage preferentially at the gray–white matter interface due to septic microemboli (figure). Mechanisms of hemorrhage include small-vessel occlusion leading to mycotic aneurysm formation with rupture or pyogenic arteritis without aneurysm formation.1 Intracranial hemorrhage associated with metastatic staphylococcal infections is rarely descr...

CDC's Mission: Protecting the Health of Americans
There is no doubt Ebola will rank as the biggest public health story of 2014, both here in the United States and around the world: more people sickened by Ebola than ever before in history, more people dying, and more understanding of how the health of one nation affects the health of us all. Today, more than 170 of CDC's top health professionals are in West Africa working to stop the current Ebola epidemic and leave behind stronger public health systems. Many hundreds more support their work at home. Leaving behind better capacities to find, stop, and prevent health threats in affected countries will help prevent the ...
