Improving diagnosis of childhood stroke arterial ischemic stroke.
Authors: Mackay MT, Monagle P, Babl FE Abstract INTRODUCTION: At least half of childhood stroke survivors suffer long-term impairments. Rapid identification of stroke is essential to minimize the extent of injury by restoring perfusion to viable brain. Improving diagnosis of childhood stroke requires correct identification of stroke by prehospital and emergency physicians, rapid performance of appropriate neuroimaging to confirm infarction, and targeted investigations to determine underlying causes, which guide treatment decisions to reduce recurrence risk. Areas covered: This review will summarize the barriers to rap...

Sleep disorders and the risk of stroke.
Authors: McDermott M, Brown DL, Chervin RD Abstract INTRODUCTION: Stroke is a major cause of disability and death in the United States and across the world, and the incidence and prevalence of stroke are expected to rise significantly due to an aging population. Obstructive sleep apnea, an established independent risk factor for stroke, is a highly prevalent disease that is estimated to double the risk of stroke. It remains uncertain whether non-apnea sleep disorders increase the risk of stroke. Areas covered: This paper reviews the literature describing the association between incident stroke and sleep apnea, REM sle...

Current perspectives on neuroimaging techniques used to identify stroke mimics in clinical practice
Expert Rev Neurother. 2021 Mar 31. doi: 10.1080/14737175.2021.1911650. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Urgent clinical assessment and brain imaging is essential for differentiating stroke mimics from stroke and to avoid unnecessary initiation of reperfusion and other therapies in stroke mimic patients.AREAS COVERED: In this article, the authors will review acute stroke imaging and then the imaging patterns of the most common stroke mimics. The authors have focused our review on brain CT scan, and more specifically CT perfusion, as this is the most commonly available and emerging tool in emergency settings. The ...
