The Association of the Spatial Location of Contrast Extravasation with Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage after Endovascular Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Conclusion The spatial location of CE on NCCT immediately after EVT was an independent and strong risk factor for sICH in acute ischemic stroke patients.PMID:37488759 | DOI:10.2174/1567202620666230721101413

Stroke: management and prevention
Acute stroke treatment requires clear protocols to rapidly triage patients – using appropriate investigations – for mechanical thrombectomy and intravenous thrombolysis. Computed tomography (CT) excludes haemorrhage, CT angiography locates the occluded vessel, and CT perfusion and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging identify viable tissue. An organized approach to str oke care in a specialist environment reduces disability and saves lives. Adoption of a ‘care bundle’ approach, including the active management of pyrexia and hyperglycaemia, and early screening for swallowing difficulties, is beneficial.

Statins influence the relationship between ATP-binding cassette A1 membrane transporter-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity and coronary atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis
CONCLUSION: In patients with RA, higher ABCA1-CEC may reflect a proatherogenic state, associated with enhanced cardiovascular risk. Statin use may unmask the protective impact of ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux on plaque formation, progression and cardiovascular risk.PMID:37484708 | PMC:PMC10362327 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtauto.2023.100206

AI-Guided Quantitative Plaque Staging Predicts Long-Term Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients at Risk for Atherosclerotic CVD
CONCLUSIONS: Through 10-year follow-up, AI-QCT plaque staging showed important prognostic value for MACE and showed additional discriminatory value over clinical risk factors, CACS, and manual guideline-recommended CCTA assessment.PMID:37480907 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcmg.2023.05.020

Herpes Simplex Virus Meningoencephalitis Masquerading as Acute Stroke With Broca's Aphasia: A Case Report
This report highlights the importance of considering herpes encephalitis as a potential etiology in patients presenting with atypical neurological symptoms, even in the absence of typical radiological findings. Early diagnosis and appropriate management with acyclovir are crucial in improving outcomes in such cases.PMID:37476130 | PMC:PMC10354683 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.40618

Characteristics of post ‐stroke dysphagia: A retrospective study based on FEES
ConclusionsThe infratentorial stroke may lead to worse swallowing function as compared to a supratentorial stroke. Additionally, patients with infratentorial stroke, PAS  >  5, PR ≥ 3, or vocal fold motion impairment may contribute to a longer duration of nasogastric tube placement.

On Hoofs and Zebras – Struma Ovarii
A 75-year-old mother of ten suffering from a urinary tract infection developed macrohematuria and therefore an abdominal ultrasound was performed, followed by a CT scan when an unexpected large pelvic mass was discovered. Past history included hypertension, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and remote history of minor stroke (on candesartan, dabigatran, bisoprolol); bilateral chronic lymphedema; and hysterectomy due to prolapse at the age of 40. Imaging revealed nephrolithiasis and a prominent left adnexal mass suspected as ovarian cancer.
