Computed tomography versus short sequence magnetic resonance imaging in acute ischaemic stroke
It is undisputable that the acute management of stroke requires a fast and accurate diagnostic imaging modality. We read with interest and congratulate Kumar et al. on their article discussing the superiority and benefits of the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) [1]. The authors suggest that MRI can improve the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) negative AIS and allow better selection of patients for reperfusion therapies. Moreover, MRI may help avoid hospital admissions for patients with stroke mimics, facilitate earlier discharge, reduce overall hospital costs and play a...

Acute coronary syndrome in very elderly patients —a real-world experience
AbstractVery elderly population constitutes an increasingly larger proportion of patients admitted for acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Notably, age represents both a proxy of frailty and an exclusion criterion in clinical randomized trials, which probably contributes to lack of data and undertreatment of real-world elderly patients. The aim of the study is to describe patterns of treatment and outcome of very elderly patients with ACS. All consecutive patients aged ≥ 80 years old (yo) admitted between January 2017 and December 2019 with ACS were included. The primary endpoint was in-hospital occurrence of major adv...

Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation and Other Atrial Dysrhythmias
AbstractPurpose of ReviewAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for systemic embolism and ischaemic stroke. Furthermore, AF-related strokes are associated with higher mortality, greater disability, longer hospital stays and lower rates of hospital discharge than strokes caused by other reasons. The aim of this review to summarise the existing evidence on the association of AF with ischemic stroke and provide insights on the pathophysiological mechanisms and the clinical management of patients with AF in order to reduce the burden of ischemic stroke.Recent FindingsBeyond Virchow ’s triad, several pathophysiologic...

Pediatric arterial ischemic stroke in Japan: Moyamoya disease or not
In this study, among 93 responders from physicians in 50 pediatric hospitals, consensus agreement, being available to treat pediatric AIS, was 90.3% in the use of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and 77.4% in mechanical thrombectomy.

Atypical clinical presentation mimicking stroke in an adult patient caused by a rare diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumour
We report an atypical clinical presentation of DLGNT. A 48-year-old male was admitted to hospital with symptoms of ischaemic stroke. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head revealed contrast enhancement of the meninges and other parts of the brain. A stereotactic frame biopsy was performed on the patient, which revealed the DLGNT. Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumours are mostly seen in individuals less than 18 years old and are characterized by slow growth and low-grade histological appearance. Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumours can be aggressive in adults.PMID:36946275 | DOI:10.5114/pjp.2022.125822
