Effectiveness of Ultrasound-guided VS Electrical-stimulation-guided Botulinum Toxin Injections in Triceps Surae Spasticity after Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Study
CONCLUSION: In agreement with previous research, no differences were found in the efficacy of ultrasound-guided or electrical-stimulation-guided abobotulinumtoxinA injections in triceps surae spasticity after stroke. Both techniques are of equal use in guiding muscle localization for botulinum toxin injections in spastic triceps surae.PMID:37434519 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v55.11963

SBOTE Study: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Versus Electrical Stimulation After Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection for Post-Stroke Spasticity–A Prospective Randomized Trial
Abstract: Research is on-going to identify new methods of biostimulation to increase the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the treatment of spasticity. The Spasticity treated by Botulinum Toxin and ESWT (SBOTE) study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) given immediately after BTX-A injections compared with electrical stimulation (ES) given immediately after BTX-A therapy for the management of focal upper limb spasticity in stroke patients. ES was given for 30 min twice a day for 5 days starting at 5 Hz; ESWT was given once a day for...

Stroke from an External Carotid: Lesion Pattern and Mechanisms
Traditionally, patients with symptomatic external carotid stenosis present with neck or face pain, retinal ischaemic symptoms or jaw claudication. and rarely as ipsilateral cerebrovascular events. In this present case, our patient suffered a stroke from a paradoxical embolism from the external carotid, without involvement of the internal carotid artery. A plaque ulceration of the external carotid’s origin was the cause of this cerebral emboli. Duplex ultrasound showed a pathological left external carotid, with a floating thrombus in the internal carotid.

Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections for adhesive capsulitis more effective than placebo
Commentary on: Prestgaard T, Wormgoor ME, Haugen S, et al.. Ultrasound-guided intra-articular and rotator interval corticosteroid injections in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: a double-blind, sham-controlled randomized study. Pain 2015;156:1683–91. Context Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder or painful stiff shoulder) is relatively common. It is idiopathic: known associated factors include trauma, diabetes, prolonged immobilisation, age, stroke and autoimmune disease. While self-limited, pain and decreased range of motion can last up to 2–3 years. Therefore, there is practical value in therapeutic in...

Clinical Presentation, Magnetic Resonance Angiography, Ultrasound Findings, and Stroke Patterns in Patients with Vertebral Artery Dissection
Background/Aims: Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is an important cause of ischemic stroke. In this observational study, clinical data, magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound (US) imaging findings and ischemic patterns were analyzed.Methods: Forty-seven patients with a diagnosis of VAD underwent clinical examination, US, MR of the brain and neck and MR angiography (MRA) of the cervical arteries. Vascular abnormalities and ischemic brain lesions were noted. Data were evaluated separately and compared for spontaneous and traumatic VAD subgroups.Results: The most common overall clinical symptom was vertigo followed by neck p...

Acute diffuse and transient thyroid swelling after intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke: A case report
Rationale: Intravenous thrombolysis is the primary therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but it has some complications, including symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, orolingual angioedema, and extracranial bleeding. However, thyroid disorders associated with thrombolysis are very rare. Patient concerns: A 56-year-old man developed acute pain and neck swelling after thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. Diagnoses: Ultrasound revealed a diffusely enlarged thyroid with linear hypoechoic areas throughout the entire gland, resembling a “cracked” appearance. Interventions: The patient was...

Atypical presentation of fistula dysfunction due to brachial arterial embolization mimicking stroke
In this report, failure to recognize the upper limb ischemia would have led to delayed treatment, potentially resulting in the fistula's complete thrombosis and further limb ischemia. We highlight the importance of a diagnosis method like Doppler ultrasound, which allows for rapid evaluation at the patient's bedside.PMID:35000475 | DOI:10.1177/11297298211067686

Intracranial Arterial Dissection (P2.013)
CONCLUSIONS:IAD represent a substantial proportion of CAD and may be a frequently underdiagnosed cause of stroke. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage seemed to occur less frequently in our series than previously reported.Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Dossi has nothing to disclose.
