Intravenous Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Taiwan: Can We Expand the National Health Insurance's Reimbursement Criteria?
In conclusion, the non-reimbursement group in Su, et al(3). is a mixture of stroke patients with very heterogeneous characteristics. With the advances of imaging selection modalities and new hyperacute treatment options nowadays, they should no longer be considered as an identical group of patients. We strokologists, as an emerging subspecialists, should devote more in dedicated and individualized selection of stroke patients for appropriate early recanalization therapy to improve their outcomes.

Parkinsonism or Other Movement Disorders Presenting as Stroke Mimics.
CONCLUSION: Although rare, parkinsonism or other movement disorders may present as a stroke mimic with activation of a stroke code. Consulting neurologists should clarify the etiology for those patients with acute consciousness disturbance or motor weakness and avoid unnecessary thrombolysis. Key Words: Parkinson disease, parkinsonism, movement disorders, stroke code, thrombolysis.

Urgent Demand of Network Access for Acute Ischemic Stroke Management in Taiwan
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2022 Sep 30;31(3):84-90.ABSTRACTTime is the major determinant in successful reperfusion therapy of acute ischemic stroke. The evolving diagnostic tools and treatment of acute stroke has made a great progress in the past 2 decades and is remolding current management practices. It demands a timely neurologic evaluation and a neuroimaging study to determine if stroke patients are appropriate candidates for reperfusion demands. Therefore, it is critical for the setting of stroke center accreditation levels and capabilities so that timely and appropriate treatment is initiated for the eligible stroke patient...

Early Rehabilitation after Acute Stroke:The Golden Recovery Period
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2022 Jan 18. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Neuroplasticity, a condition wherein the brain's dynamic response to injury is heightened and rehabilitation might be effective, is observed shortly after acute stroke. However, although several trials have demonstrated that initiating treatment within 24 hours after stroke is potentially harmful, some have shown that early rehabilitation of patients is beneficial. Administration of constraint-induced movement therapy within two weeks after stroke appears to be beneficial for the upper extremities. In addition,...
