Use of central venous catheter and increased risk of ischemic stroke
This study is on fresh ground on the issue of CVC and stroke complications and has the potential to serve as a guide and stimulus for future research. We propose two fundamental strategies to reduce ri sks of stroke associated to CVC that should be evaluated: (i) the implementation of local prevention bundles and (ii) the use of ultrasound scanning for catheter surveillance.5 Based on the authors ’ observations, we further propose that can we create sub-groups of patients, i.e. who were required CVC placement having risk factors to develop stroke vs. patients not having risk factors to develop stroke. This can help us to...

Intracranial Large Artery Disease is Independently Associated with Poor Functional Outcome in a Cohort of Ethnic South Asian Ischemic Stroke Patients
Conclusions: The presence of ICLAD rendered poorer functional prognosis after stroke. These findings support the specific evaluation of the benefits of known acute stroke treatments such as thrombolysis, as well as investigation of potential novel strategies such as acute stenting.

Association Between Patent Foramen Ovale and Overt Ischemic Stroke in Children With Sickle Cell Disease
This study investigates the association between PFO and overt ischemic stroke in the DISPLACE (Dissemination and Implementation of Stroke Prevention Looking at the Care Environment) study cohort of 5,247 children with SCA of whom 1,414 had at least one clinical non-contrast transthoracic echocardiogram. Presence of PFO was taken from the clinical report. Further, we assessed the association between PFO and other clinical and hemolytic factors in children with SCA such as history of abnormal sickle stroke screen [elevated Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) velocity] and patient's baseline hemoglobin. In 642 children for ...

Utility of ultrasound as a promising diagnostic tool for stroke-related sarcopenia: A retrospective pilot study
This study aimed to examine the correlation between ultrasonographic quadriceps muscle thickness (QMT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) derived appendicular lean mass (ALM) in patients with acute hemiplegic stroke. Twenty five participants were included (13 men and 12 women) in this study, who were diagnosed with stroke within 1 month. For both paretic and non-paretic legs, QMT was measured by an ultrasound and ALM was obtained by performing DXA scan. We analyzed the difference and the correlation between ultrasonographic QMT and DXA-derived lean body mass of both paretic and non-paretic legs. Stroke patients wer...

Multimodal ultrasound-based carotid plaque risk biomarkers predict poor functional outcome in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA
CONCLUSION: Intraplaque neovascularization level and plaque stiffness may be associated with an increased risk of poor short-term functional outcome after stroke in patients with recent anterior circulation ischemic stroke due to carotid atherosclerosis. The combined application of multiple parameters has efficacy in predicting poor short-term functional outcome after stroke.PMID:36631804 | DOI:10.1186/s12883-023-03052-6

Nonstenotic Carotid Plaques and Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source: A Multimodality Review EXTRACRANIAL VASCULAR
Symptomatic nonstenotic carotid artery disease has been increasingly recognized as a thromboembolic source in patients who would otherwise be classified as having embolic stroke of undetermined source. Evidence suggests that certain plaque features seen on sonography, CT, and MR imaging in nonstenotic carotid artery disease may predispose to recurrent stroke in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source. We performed a focused literature review to further study plaque features in the context of embolic stroke of undetermined source and to determine which plaque features may be associated with ipsilateral ischemic ...

The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study (NOR-SYS): rationale and design
Background: Ischemic stroke in young adults is a major health problem being associated with a higher vascular morbidity and mortality compared to controls, and a stroke recurrence rate of 25% during the first decade. The assumed cause of infarction and the detected risk factors determine the early- and long-term treatment. However, for many patients the cause of stroke remains unknown. Risk factor profile and etiology differ in young and elderly ischemic stroke patients, and atherosclerosis is the determined underlying condition in 10 to 15%. However, subclinical atherosclerosis is probably more prevalent and may go unreco...

Neurodevelopmental outcome after neonatal perforator stroke
AimTo assess outcome after neonatal perforator stroke in the largest cohort to date. MethodSurvivors from a cohort of children diagnosed with neonatal perforator stroke using cranial ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging were eligible for inclusion. Recovery and Recurrence Questionnaire score, presence of cerebral palsy (CP), and crude outcome were assessed, specifically (1) the ability to walk independently, (2) participation in regular education, and (3) the presence of epilepsy. ResultsThirty‐seven patients (20 males, 17 females) aged 3 to 14 years (mean age 8y) were included in the study: 14 with isolated single ...

Etiologic Epidemiology of Ischemic Stroke (A Study About 2450 Cases) (P1.120)
Conclusions: The main etiology of ischemic stroke in elderly person was lacunar infract followed by atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation. In Young adults, etiology differs according to country. In our study Carotid dissection takes the first place in patients with age under 45 years old Etiological investigations and a swift implementation of strategy for the prevention of the risk factors are important faced with increased incidence of ischemic stroke. Despite a complete assessment, ischemic stroke etiology can remain indeterminate.Disclosure: Dr. bouzidi has nothing to disclose. Dr. AYADI has nothing to disclose. Dr. ...

Factors associated with in-hospital delays in treating acute stroke with intravenous thrombolysis in a tertiary centre
Conclusions This study enabled us to identify CTA and the “3-hour effect” as the 2 factors that delay IVT in our hospital. In contrast, activating code stroke clearly reduces DTN. This information will be useful in our future attempts to reduce door-to-needle times.

Clinical Importance of Temporal Bone Features for the Efficacy of Contrast-Enhanced Sonothrombolysis: a Retrospective Analysis of the NOR-SASS Trial
AbstractContrast-enhanced sonothrombolysis (CEST) seems to be a safe and promising treatment in acute ischemic stroke. It remains unknown if temporal bone features may influence the efficacy of CEST. We investigated the association between different temporal bone features on admission computed tomography (CT) scan and the outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients included in the randomized Norwegian Sonothrombolysis in Acute Stroke Study (NOR-SASS). Patients diagnosed as stroke mimics and those with infratentorial stroke or with incorrect insonation were excluded. We retrospectively assessed temporal bone heterogeneity (pr...

Omentin-1 is Associated with Carotid Plaque Instability among Ischemic Stroke Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Among ischemic stroke patients, higher omentin-1 levels were inversely associated with carotid plaque instability, but not associated with moderate-severe carotid stenosis or occlusion. Omentin-1 may represent a biomarker for predicting carotid plaque instability of acute ischemic stroke patients. PMID: 29225325 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of chronic flexed wrist posture on the elasticity and crosssectional area of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel among chronic stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that chronic flexed wrist posture may cause atrophy of the median nerve due to chronic compression after stroke and increase in the stiffness of the median nerve. PMID: 29400371 [PubMed - in process]
