Optogenetic stimulation for stroke recovery Neuroscience
Clinical and research efforts have focused on promoting functional recovery after stroke. Brain stimulation strategies are particularly promising because they allow direct manipulation of the target area’s excitability. However, elucidating the cell type and mechanisms mediating recovery has been difficult because existing stimulation techniques nonspecifically target all cell types near...

Influence of trial design, heterogeneity and regulatory environment on the results of clinical trials: An appraisal in the context of recent trials on acute stroke intervention
PR Srijithesh, Shakir HusainAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2014 17(4):365-370The outcome of randomized controlled trials can vary depending on the eligibility criteria of the patients entering into the trial, as well as the heterogeneity of the eligible population and/or the interventions. If the subject population and/or interventions are heterogeneous, the final outcome of the trial depends on the degree of concordance of effects of the subgroups of interventions on the subgroups of the subject population. The considerations that go into the calculation of sample size and determination of the study stopping rules ...

Development of the Trevo ProVue Retriever for intracranial clot removal in acute ischemic stroke
It is estimated that 15 million people worldwide have a stroke each year. Of the estimated 795,000 strokes that occur in the United States annually, the majority are ischemic strokes resulting from an obstruction within a vessel supplying blood to the brain. The treatment goal for these patients is to restore blood flow as quickly as possible. Increasingly, endovascular treatments that interact directly with the clot are being pursued as options. Receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance in 2012, the Trevo® Retriever is a stent‐like structure to be deployed at the site of an occlusion to allow the occluding ...

Immune modulation in acute ischemic stroke Medical Sciences
Peripheral lymphocytes entering brain ischemic regions orchestrate inflammatory responses, catalyze tissue death, and worsen clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in preclinical studies. However, it is not known whether modulating brain inflammation can impact the outcome of patients with AIS. In this open-label, evaluator-blinded, parallel-group clinical pilot trial, we...

Ways To Improve Door-to-Needle Times in Stroke Treatment
WASHINGTON, DC — A streamlined emergency care service and a low-cost, tablet-based mobile telestroke system are two examples of shortening the time it takes for acute ischemic stroke patients to receive thrombolytic therapy that were presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology.

SRF/MRTF depletion provokes hemorrhagic stroke Cell Biology
Intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke and vascular dementia are age- and hypertension-associated manifestations of human cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Cerebral microvessels are formed by endothelial cells (ECs), which are connected through tight junctions, adherens junctions, and stabilizing basement membrane structures. These endothelial connections ensure both vessel stability and blood–brain barrier (BBB)...
