Quantitative and Qualitative EEG as a Prediction Tool for Outcome and Complications in Acute Stroke Patients.
Abstract Currently, the relevance of EEG measurements in acute stroke patients is considered low in clinical practice. However, recent studies on the predictive value of EEG measurements after stroke for various outcomes may increase the role of EEG in patients with stroke. We aimed to review the current literature on the utility of EEG measurements after stroke as a tool to predict outcome and complications, focusing on studies in which the EEG measurement was performed in the acute phase after the event and in which long-term outcome measures were reported. In our literature review, we identified 4 different out...

Neurosteroids: a novel promise for the treatment of stroke and post ‐stroke complications
AbstractStroke is the primary reason for death and disability worldwide, with few treatment strategies to date. Neurosteroids, which are natural molecules in the brain, have aroused great interest in the field of stroke. Neurosteroids are a kind of steroid that acts on the nervous system, and are synthesized in the mitochondria of neurons or glial cells using cholesterol or other steroidal precursors. Neurosteroids mainly include estrogen, progesterone (PROG), allopregnanolone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and vitamin D (VD). Most of the preclinical studies have confirmed that neurosteroids can decrease the risk of strok...

EEG patterns and epileptic seizures in acute phase stroke
ConclusionEEG in the acute phase of stroke may help to detect specific patterns, such as PLEDs, that are closely related to early seizures. EEG monitoring should be performed to identify purely electrographic seizures.

P 172. Focal tDCS in Chronic Stroke patients: A pilot study of physiological effects using TMS and concurrent EEG
We report results of MEPs, EEG, and motor behavior. We show, for the first time, that tDCS and EEG recording can be concurrently applied in stroke patients. Bilateral M1 stimulation using small Ag/AgCl electrodes is well tolerated and can augment corticospinal excitability in the affected hemisphere. In the literature, there is only one prior studying using concurrent EEG recording during cathodal tDCS in healthy subjects and two patients with epileptic encephalopathy (Faria et al., 2012). As far as we know, no studies have applied tDCS simultaneous with EEG recording in chronic stroke patients. We report the first study i...

Vagus nerve stimulation as a promising adjunctive treatment for ischemic stroke
Publication date: Available online 21 August 2019Source: Neurochemistry InternationalAuthor(s): Jingxi Ma, Peifeng Qiao, Qin Li, Yangyang Wang, Lan Zhang, Liang-Jun Yan, Zhiyou CaiAbstractThe Food and Drug Administration has approved vagus-nerve stimulation (VNS) for the treatment of patients with epilepsy, depression, and headache. By targeting diverse neuroprotective and neuroplasticity pathways, VNS has the potential to be expanded as a treatment for ischemic stroke. VNS has been found to attenuate infarct volume, reduce neurological deficits, and improve memory and cognition in rats with stroke injuries. Some pilot stu...

Stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases
The objective of this special issue is to bring to the readership of Neurochemistry International the latest developments and knowledge in a broad spectrum of areas of stroke research in both review and original research articles. Topics include neuroprotective diets, biomarkers used to aid clinical management, neurodegenerative as well as neuroprotective effects of the immune system, potential therapeutic targets, engineered growth factors that promote endogenous neuroregeneration, mechanisms of cerebral small vessel disease, and post stroke epilepsy.

Incidence, Implications, and Management of Seizures Following Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewIn this review, we summarize the recent literature regarding the incidence and treatment of seizures arising after ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Additionally, we identify open questions in guidelines and standard clinical care to aid future studies aiming to improve management of seizures in post-stroke patients.Recent FindingsStudies demonstrate an increasing prevalence of seizures following strokes, probably a consequence of advances in post-stroke management and expanding use of continuous EEG monitoring. Post-stroke seizures are associated with longer hospitalization and increased mortality...

Anti-NMDAR encephalitis presenting as stroke-like episodes in children: A case series from a tertiary care referral centre from Southern India
Conclusion: Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis which is a potentially treatable disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a child presents with hemiparesis/stroke-like episode.

1. Epileptic seizures in pediatric stroke: Data from the Italian Registry for Childhood Thrombosis
According to data from the Italian Registry for Childhood Thrombosis (R.I.T.I.), in about half cases diagnosis of pediatric stroke occurs after 24h from clinical onset (Baggio et al., SINP2013). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of seizures at stroke onset and their correlation with time to diagnosis in the pediatric stroke patients in the R.I.T.I. We selected the R.I.T.I. children with first acute arterial (AIS) or venous (CSVT) cerebral infarction occurring between January 2007 and June 2012; we studied prevalence, characteristics and recurrence of epileptic seizures, focusing on diagnostic delay.
