A cardiovascular polypill for secondary stroke prevention in a tertiary centre in Ghana (SMAART): a phase 2 randomised clinical trial
Lancet Glob Health. 2023 Oct;11(10):e1619-e1628. doi: 10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00347-9.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: A cardiovascular polypill containing generic drugs might facilitate sustained implementation of and adherence to evidence-based treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the impact of a cardiovascular polypill in mitigating atherosclerotic risk among stroke survivors has not been assessed. We aimed to compare a polypill regimen with usual care on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) regression after ischaemic stroke.METHODS: In SMAART, a phase 2 parallel, open-label, assessor-masked, randomised clini...

Selecting stroke patients for thrombectomy: is CTA+ASPECTS enough?
Since 2014, a series of randomised controlled trails (RCTs) have demonstrated the benefit of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) on functional outcome for the participants who had acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) with occlusion of a proximal intracranial artery in the anterior circulation. The characteristics of the people enrolled in these RCTs have been used to define recommended criteria to select patients for thrombectomy in clinical practice. The initial group of RCTs largely enrolled participants early after AIS (mostly under 6 hours) who had National Institutes of Health stroke scale scores ≥6 (range 0–42 with lowe...

Prognostic Value of Venous Outflow Profiles on Multiphase CT Angiography for the Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke After Endovascular Thrombectomy
This study supports that favorable peak venous VO profiles on mCTA might be a promising biomarker in predicting the good outcome in patients with AIS after EVT.

The effect of butylphthalide on improving the neurological function of patients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction after mechanical thrombectomy
Medicine (Baltimore). 2023 Aug 25;102(34):e34616. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000034616.ABSTRACTButylphthalide can improve blood circulation in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Complement 3a receptor 1 (C3aR1) is involved in the regulation of innate immune response and pathogen monitoring, which is closely related to the pathophysiological processes of breast cancer, neurogenesis and lipid catabolism. Our study explored the therapeutic effect of butylphthalide on improving the neurological function of patients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction after mechanical thrombectomy, and evaluated the correlatio...

Death and ADL Dependency After Scoring Zero on the NIHSS: A Swedish Retrospective Registry-Based Study
Discussion One of 17 patients has either died or become ADL-dependent 3 months after a 0-NIHSS stroke, stressing that these strokes are not always benign. Older and physically inactive patients are at greater risk of an adverse outcome.

Comparative Analysis of the Results of Stroke Treatment With Multiple Administrations of Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived HE-ATMP and Standard Conservative Treatment: Case Series Study
Cell Transplant. 2023 Jan-Dec;32:9636897231195145. doi: 10.1177/09636897231195145.ABSTRACTStroke remains still the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Although interventions such as early reperfusion, intravenous thrombolysis, and endovascular revascularization have shown neurological benefit in stroke patients, there is still lack of effective treatment enabling regeneration of nervous tissue after cerebral ischemic episodes. Cell therapy is an evolving opportunity for stroke survivors with residual neurological deficits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and potential efficacy of multiple admi...

Treatment of an Acute Common Carotid Artery Occlusion Using a Large-Bore Aspiration Thrombectomy Device
An 86-year-old man presented with acute ischemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery territory due to complete occlusion of the left common carotid artery (CCA) extending into the left internal and external carotid artery up to the carotid terminus (C7) (Fig 1). The etiology was surmised to be cardioembolic, in the setting of atrial fibrillation with subtherapeutic anticoagulation (international normalized ratio, 1.8). After presentation, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score increased from 4 (baseline) to 8 points; mechanical recanalization by percutaneous thrombus aspiration was planned.

P005/44 Using the pEGASUS-stent with antithrombogenic properties and single antiplatelet therapy in a case of thrombectomy
IntroductionRescue stenting is used more and more in stroke cases with large-vessel-occlusion or medium-vessel-occlusion refractory to mechanical thrombectomy. The pEGASUS-stent(Phenox) represents a device which is equipped with a hydrophilic polymer coating(HPC) with antithrombogenic properties. The coating allows for implantation under single antiplatelet therapy, thus possibly reducing the risk of bleeding in acute stroke cases.Case HistoryA 79-year-old woman was rushed to emergency room due to left-sided hemiparesis and National-Institutes-of-Health-Stroke-Scale(NIHSS) of 14. Computed-tomography-image showed an occlusi...

CONSERVATION Researchers raise alarm over threat to Mexican fireflies Scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) last week delivered a letter to the Mexican government requesting it regulate tourism centered on the threatened firefly species Photinus palaciosi . Endemic to Mexico’s Tlaxcala forests, P. palaciosi is one of the few species that glow in synchrony, offering an annual spectacle that attracts thousands of visitors during summer mating season. The letter describes how littering, artificial light, and noise interfere with the insects’ courtship and eg...
