Stroke mortality increased by drinking alcohol several times a week
Consuming alcohol more frequently than twice a week increases the risk of stroke mortality in men, according to a study carried out at the University of Eastern Finland. The results show that the effects of alcohol are not limited to the amount consumed, but also the frequency of drinking matters. The results were published in Acta Neurologica Scandinavica.Excessive consumption of alcohol is associated with a variety of different diseases.

CSF and Serum Biomarkers Focusing on Cerebral Vasospasm and Ischemia after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
Authors: Jung CS, Lange B, Zimmermann M, Seifert V Abstract Delayed cerebral vasospasm (CVS) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) remain severe complications after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although focal changes in cerebral metabolism indicating ischemia are detectable by microdialysis, routinely used biomarkers are missing. We therefore sought to evaluate a panel of possible global markers in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients after SAH. CSF and serum of SAH patients were analyzed retrospectively. In CSF, levels of inhibitory, excitatory, and structural amino acids were detected by high-performan...

Endovascular treatment for M2 occlusions in the era of stentrievers: a descriptive multicenter experience
Conclusions Endovascular treatment of M2 MCA occlusion with stentrievers seems safe. Induced recanalization may double the chances of achieving a favorable outcome, especially for patients with moderate or severe deficit.

Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography as a Necessary Scan in Acute Stroke: A Case Series
We present a number of exemplary cases where the diagnostic value of the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) after CT angiography in our acute stroke imaging protocol was of fundamental clinical significance.

Thrombus Length Estimation on Delayed Gadolinium-Enhanced T1 Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The dGE-T1, obtained by simply adjusting scanning order in multimodal magnetic resonance imaging protocol, is a useful tool for thrombus length estimation and middle cerebral artery recanalization prediction after IVT.

Clopidogrel Resistance Increases Rate of Recurrent Stroke and Other Vascular Events in Chinese Population
Research regarding clopidogrel resistance (CR) and ischemic stroke (IS) recurrence related to IS is scanty. The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of CR and the association between CR and IS recurrence and other vascular events in patients with IS receiving clopidogrel.

Effective ADAPT Thrombectomy in a Patient with Acute Stroke due to Cardiac Papillary Elastofibroma: Histological Thrombus Confirmation
A 75-year-old man with hypertension and atrial fibrillation was admitted to our emergency room with right-sided hemiplegia and complete aphasia (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score  = 18). A noncontrast computed tomography scan showed a slight hypodensity in the left insular region and a bright hyperdense sign in the M1 tract of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). Angio-CT confirmed an occlusion of the M1 tract of the MCA. Magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging/p erfusion-weighted imaging was obtained and revealed a mismatch in the left parietal cortical region.

Time to Computerized Tomography Scan, Age, and Mortality in Acute Stroke
Time to computerized tomography (CT) is important to institute appropriate and timely hyperacute management in stroke. We aimed to evaluate mortality outcomes in relation to age and time to CT scan.

18F-Fluoride and 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography After Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Ischemic Stroke: Case-Control Study Molecular Imaging
Conclusions— 18F-Fluoride PET/CT highlights culprit and phenotypically high-risk carotid plaque. This has the potential to improve risk stratification and selection of patients who may benefit from intervention.

Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Thrombocytopenia (P4.264)
Conclusions:IV rtPA for AIS might be safe in patients with platelet count <100,000/mm3 and it is reasonable not to delay IV rtPA administration while waiting for the platelet count result, unless there is strong suspicion for abnormal platelet count .Disclosure: Dr. Mowla has nothing to disclose.
