Outcomes of Thrombolytic Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Dialysis-Dependent Patients in the United States
Conclusions: The 2-fold higher odds of in-hospital mortality associated with administration of IV thrombolytics in dialysis-dependent patients who present with acute ischemic stroke warrant a careful assessment of risk–benefit ratio in this population.

Spinal ischemic stroke following dialysis: clinical and radiologic findings
Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) is a relatively common cause of noncompressive myelopathy.1 SCI frequently involves the thoracic or lumbar cord manifesting as acute painful paraparesis but may also involve the posterior columns and autonomic fibers.2 Most infarcts affect the central parts of the anterior spinal artery supply.2–4 Outcome depends on the initial severity of the neurologic deficits and may be surprisingly benign especially if proprioception remains intact.1,2 Because hypoperfusion may cause SCI,5,6 our goal was to describe SCI as a potential complication of hemodialysis-associated hypoperfusion.

Frequency of and risk factors for poor cognitive performance in hemodialysis patients
Conclusions: There is a high frequency of poor cognitive performance in hemodialysis patients, primarily affecting executive function. Risk factors for worse executive function include vascular risk factors as well as vascular disease. Normal performance on the MMSE does not preclude impaired cognitive function, because individuals with MMSE score ≥24 also have a high frequency of poor cognitive performance.
