Role of vascular endothelial growth factor and other growth factors in post-stroke recovery
Tanu Talwar, Madakasira Vasantha Padma SrivastavaAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2014 17(1):1-6Stroke is a major health problem world-wide and its burden has been rising in last few decades. Until now tissue plasminogen activator is only approved treatment for stroke. Angiogenesis plays a vital role for striatal neurogenesis after stroke. Administration of various growth factors in an early post ischemic phase, stimulate both angiogenesis and neurogenesis and lead to improved functional recovery after stroke. However vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) is the most potent angiogenic factor for neurovascularizat...

Adaptation and validation of stroke-aphasia quality of life (SAQOL-39) scale to Hindi
Conclusions: The socioculturally and linguistically adapted Hindi version of SAQOL-39 is a robust tool to measure the QOL of persons with stroke-aphasia. It may serve as an essential tool to measure the QOL in this population for both clinical and research purposes.

Transitions of care for stroke and TIA
ConclusionHospital length of stay, age, insurance status, discharge disposition, comorbidities, and readmission rates were identified as important elements affecting TOC for stroke and TIA. Information from patient surveys indicated that emotional health, follow‐up with care providers, stroke education, and point of contact are important elements during the transition periods after stroke and TIA. Implications for practiceBoth providers and patients should inform the development of a comprehensive TOC program that spans in‐hospital to multiple care settings, including the home, which is essential. The advanced practice...

Fifty years of stroke researches in India
Tapas Kumar Banerjee, Shyamal Kumar DasAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2016 19(1):1-8Currently, the stroke incidence in India is much higher than Western industrialized countries. Large vessel intracranial atherosclerosis is the commonest cause of ischemic stroke in India. The common risk factors, that is, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and dyslipidemia are quite prevalent and inadequately controlled; mainly because of poor public awareness and inadequate infrastructure. Only a small number of ischemic stroke cases are able to have the benefit of thrombolytic therapy. Benefits from stem cell therapy in established ...

Prime movers: Advanced practice professionals in the role of stroke coordinator
ConclusionFive of 11 facilities independently chose to staff stroke coordinator positions with APPs. Analysis indicated that APPs emerged as boundary spanners across services and disciplines who played an important role in coordinating evidence‐based, facility‐level approaches to AIS care. The presence of APPs was related to engaging in group‐based evaluation of performance data, implementing stroke protocols, monitoring care through data audit, convening interprofessional meetings involving planning activities, and providing direct care. Implications for practiceThe presence of APPs appears to be an influential feat...

Maintenance of normoglycemia may improve outcome in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Blood glucose values persistently below 140 mg/dl in the 1st week after acute ischemic stroke were associated with a favorable outcome in our study. Future clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings.

Behavioral outcome measures to improve experimental stroke research.
Abstract Functional recovery after an experimental stroke can be assessed by multiple behavioral tests, however, there is no consensus about which test to use in long-term stroke recovery studies or whether the tests are affected by stroke surgery, post-operative care or behavioral compensation due to repeated testing. This review describes the tests most commonly used to assess motor and sensorimotor function, cognition and mood in stroke animals. Although it is difficult to predict the direction of future research, it may be possible to prevent false-positive results by selecting an appropriate task or a battery...

Clinical features, risk factors, and short-term outcome of ischemic stroke, in patients with atrial fibrillation: Data from a population-based study
Conclusions: Ten percent of stroke patients had AF. They were older, had multiple risk factors and worse outcome. There was no gender difference in this large cohort.

Home Sleep Apnea Testing is a Feasible and Accurate Method to Diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Stroke Patients During In-Hospital Rehabilitation
Conclusions:These findings confirm a good feasibility and sufficient accuracy of HSAT attached in a stroke rehabilitation unit. Therefore, the authors suggest that American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommendations for HSAT should include stroke patients.Citation:Saletu MT, Kotzian ST, Schwarzinger A, Haider S, Spatt J, Saletu B. Home sleep apnea testing is a feasible and accurate method to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in stroke patients during in-hospital rehabilitation.J Clin Sleep Med. 2018;14(9):1495–1501.

COVID-19 and \ stroke: Incidental, triggered or causative
Rohit Bhatia, M V. Padma SrivastavaAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2020 23(3):318-324 Stroke is a serious neurological complication observed during the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus associated disease 2019) pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome, corona virus 2) and includes both ischemic stroke and intracerebral haemorrhage. We reviewed factors that could potentially contribute to the occurrence of stroke among patients with COVID-19. There could be an interaction between the conventional risk factors of stroke, infection, systemic inflammatory response and plaque destabilisation. Inflamma...

Patent foramen ovale closure in the management of cryptogenic stroke: a review of current literature and guideline statements.
CONCLUSION: PFO closure can be considered for the prevention of recurrent cryptogenic stroke in patients aged ≤60 years after a thorough evaluation and discussion about benefits and potential risks (including but not limited to atrial fibrillation) of the procedure. Accumulating evidence supports prognostic, quality of life, and economic benefit from percutaneous PFO closure with newer generation closure devices in the right subset of patients.

Infarct volumes of patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving direct oral anticoagulants due to non-valvular atrial fibrillation
Conclusion: We observe, while using DOACs, the infarct volumes of patients who experience stroke are smaller than those with NDAF and using ASA, as well as mRS scores at discharge are low and length of hospital stay is short.

Eye signs in stroke
Rajeshwar Sahonta, Ivy Sebastian, Sanjit Aaron, Appaswamy T Prabakhar, Anupriya Arthur, Jeyaraj D PandianAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(8):94-100 A large part of the central nervous system is involved in the normal functioning of the vision, and hence vision can be affected in a stroke patient. Transient visual symptoms can likewise be a harbinger of stroke and prompt rapid evaluation for the prevention of recurrent stroke. A carotid artery disease can manifest as transient monocular visual loss (TMVL), central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), anterior ischemic optic neuropathy or ocular ischemic syndrome (...

An MRI based ischemic stroke classification & #8211; A mechanism oriented approach
James Jose, Joe JamesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(6):1019-1028 Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project and Trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment are the commonly used ischemic stroke classification systems at present. However, they underutilize the newer imaging technologies. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) of the brain can detect the site and extent of infarcts accurately. From the MRI patterns, the mechanisms of ischemic stroke can be inferred. We propose to classify ischemic infarcts into the following types based on their DW-MRI appearance: cortical territorial infarcts, str...
