Stroke and migraine is there a possible comorbidity?
In conclusion the association between migraine and stroke remains an open question. Solving the above mentioned issues is fundamental to understand the epidemiologic, pathogenetic and clinical aspects of migraine-related stroke.

Stroke in pediatric ECMO patients: analysis of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database
CONCLUSIONS: Over the years, there is an apparent increase in the diagnosis of stroke. All types of stroke in ECMO patients are associated with increased LOS, although mortality is increased in hemorrhagic and combined stroke only.IMPACT: Stroke is a commonly seen complication in pediatric patients supported by ECMO. Understanding the trends will help in identifying modifiable risk factors that predict poor outcomes in this patient population.PMID:35505077 | DOI:10.1038/s41390-022-02088-7

Management and 2-year follow-up of children aged 29days to 17years hospitalized for a first stroke in France (2009-2010).
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to report the epidemiology of childhood stroke in France. The validity of this study is supported by the fact that it demonstrated homogeneous descriptive indicators to those obtained by means of various methodologies in other populations. The high mortality, recurrence, and disability rates observed during the year following the initial stroke encourage continuation of the ongoing process of standardizing the management of childhood stroke in France.

Genetic determinants and stroke in children with sickle cell disease.
CONCLUSION: There is a high incidence of stroke in male children and in children with SCA. Coexistence with α-thal and haplotypes of the beta globin chain cluster did not show any significant association with stroke. The heterogeneity between previously evaluated populations, the non-reproducibility between studies, and the need to identify factors associated with stroke in patients with SCA indicate the necessity of conducting further research to demonstrate the relevance of genetic factors in stroke related to SCD.

Diffuse optical tomography for the detection of perinatal stroke at the cot side: a pilot study.
CONCLUSION: This suggests that DOT and correlation-based analyses in the low-frequency range can potentially aid the early detection of perinatal stroke, prior to MRI acquisition. Additional methodological advances are required to increase the sensitivity and specificity of this technique. PMID: 30759451 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

West Virginia University Pediatric Stroke Registry: Clinical Description and Risk Factors Identification in Patients From a Rural Area
Conclusion. Patients with the most common risk factors for stroke (cardiac disease) were overrepresented. This suggests that in children receiving medical attention in rural areas less common risk factors for stroke might not be identified, increasing the risk recurrence. Increased index of suspicion is needed about pediatric stroke in rural areas, and early transfer to a tertiary care center for identification of risk factors is mandatory.

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound in children with stroke and cerebrovascular disorders
This article summarizes the basic physics and variables used during TCD, recent pediatric data published on the use of TCD in stroke and cerebrovascular disorders and how it may impact diagnosis and management, and some issues to be resolved so that TCD can be put into clinical practice. Recent findings: In sickle cell disease in children, TCD is the gold standard stroke prediction tool. Recent data suggest that TCD may provide important information in ischemic stroke because of other childhood arteriopathies such as moyamoya syndrome, transient or focal cerebral arteriopathy, and genetic/syndromic causes. TCD may also det...

Short ‐term neurological outcomes in ischemic and hemorrhagic pediatric stroke
ConclusionsPediatric stroke is associated with poor prognosis in a substantial number of patients in short term, with CSVT having the worst prognosis. Not only ischemic but also hemorrhagic stroke were presented with detailed patient characteristics, with a full thrombosis panel achieved for most ischemic stroke patients.This article is protected by copyright.

Nonpharmacological rehabilitation interventions for motor and cognitive outcomes following pediatric stroke: a systematic review
Conclusion: Effective rehabilitation approaches are important for optimizing outcomes in children who have had a stroke. Although the number of published clinical trials has increased in recent years, little evidence-based guidance exists for this clinical population.What is Known:• Pediatric stroke is a significant cause of disability in children that is often associated with long-term motor and cognitive sequelae.• There is a need to establish a knowledge base regarding available evidence-based rehabilitation therapies for this clinical population.What is New:• Most studies examining interventions for motor functio...

Evaluation of perinatal arterial ischemic stroke using non-invasive arterial spin labeling perfusion MR imaging.
Conclusion:ASL perfusion MR imaging is able to reliably detect hypo- and hyperperfusion in PAIS patients and can be used to monitor the evolution of perfusion after an ischemic event.Pediatric Research (2013); doi:10.1038/pr.2013.111. PMID: 23797533 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Antithrombotic Therapy for Secondary Stroke Prevention in Bacterial Meningitis in Children
Conclusion: In this small sample, heparin and ASA appeared to be safe in childhood bacterial meningitis complicated by stroke and may be effective in improving outcome. Heparin may be more effective than aspirin in preventing recurrent infarction.

The Pediatric Stroke Code: Early Management of the Child with Stroke
Stroke in children is estimated to occur as frequently as brain tumors, and acute presentations should be considered a neurologic emergency. Although stroke is less common in children than in adults, the long-term morbidity and societal impact of stroke in children likely exceeds that in adults.1 Lessons from adult stroke trials underscore the need for early therapy to prevent complications and improve outcomes. In children, the prompt diagnosis of stroke is challenging, and a delay in diagnosis is a major impediment to initiating therapy.

Use of Oxygen Pulse in Predicting Doppler-Derived Maximal Stroke Volume in Adolescents.
This study examined both of these issues in a cohort of 44 healthy adolescent males and females (ages 14-16 years) who performed routine progressive cycle exercise to exhaustion. Gas exchange variables were measured by standard open circuit techniques. Stroke volume at rest and during exercise was assessed by the Doppler ultrasound method. At peak exercise O2 pulse correlated closely with stroke volume (r=0.73) with a SEE of 12.6 mL·beat-1. Values of maximal O2 pulse in non-athletic boys and girls were 13.3 ± 2.5 and 11.0 ± 1.7 mL·beat-1, respectively. After the initial workload, a steady rise was observed in O2 pulse,...
