The application of pre-hospital first aid mode in patients with acute stroke: meta-analysis
Folia Neuropathol. 2022;60(3):284-291. doi: 10.5114/fn.2022.117614.ABSTRACTTo systematically evaluate the application effect of pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency mode in patients with acute stroke. The study was conducted by systematic search of Chinese (CNKI, Wanfang and VIP) and English (PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library) databases. The case-control studies comparing the role of pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency mode for patients with acute stroke were included in this study. Outcome indicators included the time from admission to thrombolytic therapy (DNT), the time from calling for help to receiving professi...

Evaluation of the quantitative performance of non-enhanced dual-energy CT X-map in detecting acute ischemic brain stroke: A model observer study using computer simulation
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a critical brain disease that is prevalent in developed countries [1]. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of AIS is highly desirable before implementing thrombolytic therapy or mechanical thrombectomy, which helps improve the prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke [2 –4].

Methotrexate-Induced Stroke-Like Encephalopathy: Beware the Stroke Mimic
We report a case of methotrexate (MTX)-induced stroke-like encephalopathy in an 18-year-old woman, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who developed a sudden neurological deficit mimicking a cerebrovascular event. Bain MRI showed hyperintensities on diffusion-weighted-imaging (DWI) with matching apparent diffusion coefficient hypointensities, which also represent the commonest MRI findings in acute cerebral infarction. DWI changes spared the cerebral cortex and did not respect vascular territories, supporting a non-vascular mechanism. MRI plays a crucial role in the diagnostic work-up   and is essential to avoid unnecessar...

The SON2A2 score: A novel grading scale for predicting hemorrhage and outcomes after thrombolysis
ConclusionThe SON2A2 score is a simple, efficient, quick, and easy-to-perform scale for predicting the risk of sICH and outcome after intravenous r-tPA thrombolysis within 4.5 h in patients with ischemic stroke, and risk assessment using this test has the potential for early and personalized management of this disease in high-risk patients.

A Novel Nomogram for Predicting Poor 6-Month Function in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Receiving Thrombolysis
Background Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) receiving thrombolysis with good function at discharge are usually ignored. Their functional deterioration after discharge not only compromises the effectiveness of thrombolytic therapy but also reduces their long-term quality of life, which is not conducive to the advancement of medical healthcare and continuing care. Objective The aims of this study were to explore the risk factors for poor 6-month function in patients with AIS receiving thrombolysis with good function at discharge and construct a novel nomogram model. Methods This case-control study ...
