Influence of Amyloid-{beta} on Cognitive Decline After Stroke/Transient Ischemic Attack: Three-Year Longitudinal Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Compared with subjects without Alzheimer’s disease–like Aβ deposition, those with Aβ deposition experienced a more severe and rapid cognitive decline over 3 years after stroke/transient ischemic attack. Aβ was associated with changes in multiple cognitive domains.

Design of Randomized, double‐blind, Evaluation in secondary Stroke Prevention comparing the EfficaCy and safety of the oral Thrombin inhibitor dabigatran etexilate vs. acetylsalicylic acid in patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (RE‐SPECT ESUS)
DiscussionAcetylsalicylic acid is the most common antithrombotic given to patients with embolic strokes of undetermined source to reduce recurrence risk. This trial will determine whether anticoagulation with dabigatran is more effective than acetylsalicylic acid, and acceptably safe.

Effects of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation on Language Networks and Recovery in Early Poststroke Aphasia Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Ten sessions of inhibitory rTMS over the right posterior inferior frontal gyrus, in combination with speech and language therapy, significantly improve language recovery in subacute ischemic stroke and favor recruitment of left-hemispheric language networks.

Intravenous Thrombolysis Resulting In Acute Ischemic Stroke Recanalization Can Lead To Cerebral Hyperperfusion Syndrome (P7.123)
Conclusion- Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke should be suspected in patients that achieve arterial recanalization and develop unexplained new neuropsychiatric manifestations.Disclosure: Dr. Ong has nothing to disclose.

Presence and extent of coronary calcified plaque evaluated by coronary computed tomographic angiography are independent predictors of ischemic stroke in patients with suspected coronary artery disease
Abstract Although ischemic stroke and coronary artery disease (CAD) share common risk factors and pathophysiology, the risk of stroke in patients with CAD remains unclear. We sought to evaluate the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with suspected CAD according to coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) findings. Presence, severity, and extent of CAD were evaluated in 1137 patients with suspected CAD who underwent CCTA and SPECT. Primary outcome was the occurrence of ischemic stroke. During follow-up (median 26 months), ischemic stroke was obse...

Obstructive carotid and/or intracranial artery disease rarely affects the incidence of haemodynamic ischaemic stroke during cardiac surgery: a study on brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography with acetazolamide ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS It is unusual for CIAD to affect the incidence of haemodynamic ischaemic stroke during cardiac surgery. Brain perfusion SPECT with acetazolamide is effective for narrowing down patients at high risk of ischaemic stroke during cardiac surgery. Meanwhile, the application of brain perfusion single-photon emission tomography should be confined only to patients with obstructive CIAD because it is an expensive examination tool.

PET imaging of ischemic brain stroke necrosis with novel agent 18F-Fluoroglucaric Acid
Conclusions: Results show that FGA has a potential to enable extremely sensitive and high resolution neuroimaging of brain infarcts. F-18-labeled FGA can be rapidly synthesized from ubiquitously available F-18-FDG in a simple reaction.

Ischemic Conditioning Is Safe and Effective for Octo- and Nonagenarians in Stroke Prevention and Treatment
The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BAIPC in reducing stroke recurrence in octo- and nonagenarian patients with SIAS. Fifty-eight patients with SIAS were enrolled in this randomized controlled prospective study for 180 consecutive days. All patients enrolled in the study received standard medical management. Patients in the BAIPC group (n = 30) underwent 5 cycles consisting of bilateral arm ischemia followed by reperfusion for 5 min each twice daily. Those in the control group (n = 28) underwent sham-BAIPC twice daily. Blood pressure, heart rate, local skin status, plasma m...

Aphasia Induced by Infratentorial Ischemic Stroke: Two Case Reports
Aphasia induced by an infratentorial stroke has rarely been reported, and its mechanism has not been fully identified. We evaluated two individuals who had been admitted to Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital in Kumamoto, Japan, due to acute ischemic stroke in order to determine whether their aphasia was induced by an infratentorial stroke. The first patient, a 59-year-old man with a history of left parietal embolic stroke with very mild sequelae of anomia, developed Wernicke’s aphasia, nonfluent speech, and right limb ataxia as a result of the stroke. The second patient, a 76-year-old woman with a history of chronic renal failu...

Propensity of Withania somnifera to Attenuate Behavioural, Biochemical, and Histological Alterations in Experimental Model of Stroke.
Abstract The present study was designed to evaluate the beneficial effects of Withania somnifera (WS) pre-supplementation on middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke was induced in the rats by inserting intraluminal suture for 90 min, followed by reperfusion injury for 24 h. The animals were assessed for locomotor functions (by neurological deficit scores, narrow beam walk and rotarod test), cognitive and anxiety-like behavioural functions (by morris water maze and elevated plus maze test). MCAO animals showed significant impairment in locomotor and cognitive functions. N...

Detection of Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis by Intravoxel Incoherent Motion MR Imaging in Subacute Ischemic Stroke.
Abstract Intravoxel incoherent motion has received extensive attention in brain studies for its potential as a non-invasive magnetic resonance perfusion method. However, studies on intravoxel incoherent motion imaging and crossed cerebellar diaschisis detection are relatively scarce. The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of using intravoxel incoherent motion imaging in crossed cerebellar diaschisis diagnosis in subacute ischemic stroke patients by comparing results from intravoxel incoherent motion imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography, and arterial spin-labeling perfusion methods. In ...
