High-Resolution Pulse Oximetry (HRPO): A Cost-Effective Tool in Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in Acute Stroke and Predicting Outcome
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a well-known risk factor for stroke. This is attributed to multiple mechanisms such as endothelial dysfunction, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and comorbid obesity. STOP questionnaire alone is unreliable to diagnose OSA and in-hospital sleep study is costly and can be technically challenging. We used high-resolution pulse oximetry (HRPO) to test the feasibility of screening for OSA and predicting outcome.

Reduced Doses of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Background: The choice of standard or reduced doses of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) depends on patients ’ age, body weight, and renal function based on package instructions. Our aim was to conduct a simulation of DOAC dose using patients’ data obtained on admission. Methods: This retrospective study included 314 ischemic stroke patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation admitted to our hospital between September 2014 and February 2018. Data on age, body weight, creatinine, and creatinine clearance were collected for each subject, and simulation was conducted for the dose of each DOAC.

Late Hospital Arrival for Thrombolysis after Stroke in Southern Portugal: Who Is at Risk?
Background: Delayed hospital arrival remains the main reason for the low rates of thrombolysis in eligible acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The role of socioeconomic and clinical factors for the prehospital delay of AIS remains poor and has never been studied in Portugal. Objectives: Describe the socioeconomic and clinical factors leading to delayed hospital admission of AIS patients eligible to thrombolysis. Methods: A case-control study with a consecutive thrombolyzed AIS patients from 2010 to 2015.

Long-Term Effect of Promoting In-Hospital Physical Activity on Postdischarge Patients with Mild Ischemic Stroke
Background: Although there are reports on the promotion of physical activity during hospitalization, there is no evidence that promoting in-hospital physical activity continues over time after discharge. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term effect of promoting in-hospital physical activity on postdischarge physical activity and self-efficacy for physical activity in patients with mild ischemic stroke. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of a post hoc analysis of a previous randomized controlled trial.

Short-Term Risk of Ischemic Stroke After Detection of Left Ventricular Thrombus on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background: The short-term risk of ischemic stroke in patients with left ventricular (LV) thrombus identified via delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (DE-CMR) imaging is uncertain. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent DE-CMR for evaluation of LV systolic dysfunction at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell between 2007 and 2016. We identified all hospitalized patients who had DE-CMR evidence of LV thrombus, and as controls, all hospitalized patients who had no DE-CMR evidence of LV thrombus; 2 control patients were randomly selected for each patient with LV thrombus.

Factors Associated With In-Hospital Mortality in Very Elderly Patients With Ischemic Stroke: A Cohort Study
The highest mortality rates associated with ischemic stroke occur in patients of advanced age. However, studies of factors that establish the increase in hospital mortality are scanty in this population.

Utility of Dynamic Balance Measurements in Discriminating Community Ambulation Levels Among Individuals with Stroke: A Cross-sectional Study
Objective: To examine the association between dynamic balance measurements and community ambulation levels among individuals with chronic stroke. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in 2-day care facilities for older adults located in urban areas. Forty-seven community-dwelling poststroke adults who could walk independently were participated. Community ambulation performance was assessed using the Functional Ambulation Classification of the Hospital at Sagunto (FACHS). Dynamic balance and mobility were measured with the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest), the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and 1...

Is neutrophil/eosinophil ratio at admission a prognostic marker for in-hospital mortality of acute ischemic stroke?
This study aimed to investigate whether NER at admission is a prognostic marker for in-hospital mortality in patients with AIS.

Association Between Plasma Total Homocysteine Levels and Risk of Early Hemorrhagic Transformation in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Hospital-Based Study
In this study, we investigated the association between plasma total homocysteine(tHcy) levels and the risk of early hemorrhagic transformation(HT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).

Impact of the sars-cov-2 pandemic on the endovascular treatment of acute stroke – an italian single-center experience
: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic greatly influenced the overall quality of healthcare. The purpose of this study was to compare the time variables for acute stroke treatment and evaluate differences in the pre-hospital and in-hospital care before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, as well as between the first and second waves.

Risk Factors and Diet Components Determining Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of a Prospective Hospital Register Study
Low adherence to a Mediterranean diet (MeDi) is associated with increased incidence, mortality, and severity of acute ischemic strokes (AIS). Nevertheless, the explanatory factors associated with such results are unclear. Our aim was to investigate stroke risk factors associated with adherence to a MeDi in a prospective cohort of AIS patients.

The mucormycosis and Stroke: the learning curve during the second COVID-19 pandemic
Background The Angio-invasive Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) producing strokes is a less explored entity. Our hospital, a stroke-ready one, had an opportunity to manage mucormycosis when it was identified as the nodal center for mucormycosis management. We are sharing our experiences and mistakes in managing the cerebrovascular manifestations of ROCM.Methods We conducted a prospective observational study during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic from 1st May 2021 to 30th September 2021, where consecutive patients aged more than 18 years with microbiologically confirmed cases of ROCM were included.
