The quest to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation: Fighting the fluttering heart in Singapore
There has been resurgence in the attention placed on pharmacotherapy in atrial fibrillation (AF) recently as specialists in international conferences discuss the utility of novel anticoagulants with caution owing to limited knowledge of the side effect profile in this nascent stage. AF is a well-known risk factor for stroke and has been for more than 20 years, since warfarin was demonstrated to reduce the risk of stroke, with aspirin doing so to a lesser degree.1 Today, there is international variation in the use of warfarin to prevent stroke despite well-established data.2 Singapore finds itself in a peculiar geographical...

The African Stroke Organization Conference 2021: Building Capacity, Careers, Collaborations, and Contributions
The inaugural African Stroke Organization Conference (ASOC) aimed to create a forum to discuss the latest stroke science, highlight opportunities to address the high burden of stroke in Africa, develop a viable pipeline of emerging African stroke researchers, honor leading scientists and policy makers, and provide networking avenues to bolster future collaboration. Using a virtual platform, ASOC was held from Nov 3-4, 2021, and was attended by 236 participants. ASOC 2021 sessions included: (1) Osuntokun Award Lecture delivered by Prof.

Certain gut microbes may affect stroke risk and severity, scientists find
Studies of ischaemic stroke patients open up possibility of treatments to prevent condition and improve recoveryScientists have identified specific groups of gut microbes that could increase or decrease someone ’s risk of suffering the most common type of stroke. The research, presented at the European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) in Lyon, France, adds to growing evidence that alterations in the gut microbiome could play a role in cardiovascular disease.Previous studies have suggested that certain microbes may influence the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries, and that the gut microbiomes of str...

Carotid Bypass Surgery Does Not Improve Cognition After Stroke
Patients who have suffered from stroke and receive carotid bypass surgery - which improves blood flow to the brain - see no overall improvement in cognitive performance, researchers informed at The American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013. Extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery involves connecting a scalp artery outside the brain to a brain artery, bypassing the blocked carotid artery, in an effort to restore blood flow to the brain...

Survivors Of Stroke In Infancy Prone To Seizures, Epilepsy
About one-third of American infants and children who suffer bleeding into brain tissue, may later have seizures and as many as 13 percent will develop epilepsy within two years, according to new research reported at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013. Bleeding into brain tissue is a type of stroke called intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Each year, an estimated 6.4 newborns and children per every 100,000 in the United States suffer strokes. About half of the strokes are hemorrhagic, typically caused by rupturing of weakened or malformed blood vessels...

Stroke Inpatient Rehabilitation Team Conferences: Leadership and Structure Improve Patient Outcomes
Consensus on how rehabilitation teamwork and services are optimally coordinated continues to be a work in progress. One area of recent research has been inpatient-rehabilitation team conferences in stroke. The prevalence of Americans living with stroke is expected to gradually increase as the U.S. population ages, as will the related direct and indirect costs. Effective interdisciplinary team conferences during acute-stroke inpatient-rehabilitation are key to managing long-term costs while improving functional outcomes.

Life Support Withdrawal Following Stroke
More than a third of patients who suffer a major bleeding in the brain and have their life support withdrawn might have eventually regained an acceptable level of functioning if life support had been sustained, suggests a new study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013. In the United States, 10 percent of the estimated 795,000 strokes each year are intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH)...

Policy makers and advocates appeal for European governments to adopt a national focus on stroke prevention
Coinciding with the World Health Organization (WHO) European Ministerial Conference on the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases in Turkmenistan, MEPs, patient and physician representatives are today (December 3rd) meeting at the European Parliament to highlight that urgent national action is required to prevent stroke. "Stroke is a growing burden on our healthcare services but more importantly has a devastating impact on survivors and their families," said MEP Nessa Childers.

Guideline clinical nutrition in patients with stroke
Abstract
Stroke is regularly accompanied by dysphagia and other factors associated with decreased nutritional intake. Dysphagia with aspiration pneumonia and insufficient nutritional intake lead to worse outcome after stroke.
This guideline is the first chapter of the guideline “Clinical Nutrition in Neurology” of the German Society for Clinical Nutrition (DGEM) which itself is one part of a comprehensive guideline about all areas of Clinical Nutrition. The thirty-one recommendations of the guideline are based on a systematic literature search and review, last updated December 31, 2011. All recommen...

Boston Scientific halts EU sales of next-gen Watchman FLX anti-stroke device
Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) reportedly halted European sales of its the next generation of its anti-stroke device, the Watchman FLX, after receiving reports of device embolization.
Spokeswoman Trish Backes told TCTMD that there were 6 device embolizations in 207 (2.9%) European implantations of the Watchman FLX, an implant that designed to occlude the heart’s left atrial appendage. One of those patients died from complications related to an infection suffered after the device was retrieved.
The 1st-generation Watchman device showed a 30-day embolization rate of 0 to 0.7% in trials, and a post-approval registry calle...

Endovascular thrombectomy without versus with intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke: a non-inferiority meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Conclusions
This meta-analysis suggests that EVT alone is non-inferior to IVT plus EVT for several, but not the most stringent, non-inferiority margins.

Mechanical Clot Removal Compared To Standard Medical Therapy For Severe Stroke
Results of the first randomized controlled study to evaluate a procedure that removes blood clots in the brain from patients experiencing severe strokes was presented at the International Stroke Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. The study also evaluates if imaging techniques were helpful in identifying patients who potentially would benefit most from clot removal. In addition to the presentation, the full study, led by Chelsea Kidwell, M.D...

Family Conferences in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Literature Review
Conclusions: Much more can be done within the multidisciplinary team to ensure that the information needs of patients and families are catered for during their inpatient admission and on their return to the community. Additional research and trials of interventions by established rehabilitation services will allow for improved and more informed clinical practice (including cost effectiveness), enhanced knowledge of caregiver needs, and essentially more positive outcomes for rehabilitation patients and their families. Research may be able to develop best practice guidelines to ensure reduced caregiver stress and anxiety dur...
