Visual stroke symptom triage tool to reduce delays due to limited English proficiency in Emergency department stroke activations
Limited English proficiency (LEP) may contribute to delays in care and worse outcomes in patients hospitalized with stroke. Limited access to interpreter services leads to delays in triage, code activation, imaging evaluations, and treatment. At our Comprehensive Stroke Center, 20% of patients with stroke have a Chinese dialect as a primary language and LEP. We sought to assess differences in stroke activation process times and IV alteplase treatment (IVT) rates between English and LEP (Chinese dialect) patients before and after implementation of a visual stroke symptom (VSS) triage tool.

Risk factors and pathogenic microorganism characteristics for pneumonia in convalescent patients with stroke: A retrospective study of 380 patients from a rehabilitation hospital
Stroke significantly impacts public health and ranks among the leading causes of death and disabilities, resulting in enormous costs measured in both health care resources and lost productivity. It results primarily from embolus or thrombosis for ischemic stroke and hypertension for hemorrhagic stroke, respectively [1]. In 2016, there were 5.5 million deaths and 116.4 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) owed to stroke [2]. As reported, the impact of stroke on the Chinese population is more severe compared to average global levels, and the prevalence of stroke continues to surpass that of ischemic heart disease [3 –4].

Increased Stroke Risk in Metabolically Abnormal Normal Weight: a 10-Year Follow-up of 102,037 Participants in China
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the risks of stroke in subjects with metabolically abnormal normal weight (MANW) in China. We recruited 102,037 participants from the Zhejiang Metabolic Syndrome Cohort and the Kailuan cohort. The mean years of follow-up were 9.9 years. General obesity was defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥ 28, overweight by BMI < 28 and ≥ 24, and normal weight by BMI < 24 and ≥ 18.5. Metabolic abnormality was defined as two or more abnormal components (elevated triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated systolic blood pressure or di...

Best Practice Recommendations for Stroke Vascular Imaging During Iodinated Contrast Shortage
GE Healthcare© announced on April 19, 2022, that their main factory and distributor of iodinated contrast had experienced a temporary shutdown because of COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai, China. This, along with other supply chain issues, led to a worldwide shortage of iodinated contrast agents, Omnipaque and Visipaque. Our Comprehensive Stroke Center was confronted with the cascading effect of this iodinated contrast material shortage. We took immediate steps to revise our protocols and processes to continue to provide high-quality care to our stroke patients. A multidisciplinary working group comprised of representativ...

Brain-Targeting Emodin Mitigates Ischemic Stroke via Inhibiting AQP4-Mediated Swelling and Neuroinflammation
In this study, we aimed to achieve brain-targeted delivery of emodin to maximize its therapeutic efficacy and elucidate the mechanisms by which emodin alleviates ischemic stroke. A polyethylene glycol (PEG)/cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD)-modified liposome was used to encapsulate emodin. TTC, HE, Nissl staining, and immunofluorescence staining were employed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of brain-targeting emodin in MCAO and OGD/R models. Inflammatory cytokine levels were determined using ELISA. Immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, and RT-qPCR were utilized for clarifying the changes in key downstream signaling. Lentivirus...

Co-Effect of Serum Galectin-3 and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol on the Prognosis of Acute Ischemic Stroke
This study aimed to evaluate the coeffect of galectin-3 and HDL-C on death and vascular events within 1 year after ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: Based on China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke, a prospective study was conducted among 2970 patients with acute ischemic stroke. The primary outcome was a combination of death and vascular events within 1 year after ischemic stroke.

Assessing executive function following the early stage of mild Ischemic stroke with three brief screening tests
Stroke, as the main disabling disease around the world, brings heavy economic and social burden to all countries, including China, an aging country.1 Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), one of the most “invisible disabilities”, is common among stroke survivors and can have a significant effect upon a patient's quality of life.2,3 Among stroke patients, the prevalence of PSCI is 81.4% and cognitive impairment in post-stroke patients manifests in various cognitive domains, with executive functio n being the most common.
