Delayed administration of thrombolytic therapy in minor stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of few symptoms in minor strokes can make them difficult to recognise and could be a reason for delaying treatment. Training among staff caring for these patients is essential to improve this aspect.PMID:33978229 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7210.2020510

Novel synaptic plasticity enhancer drug to augment functional recovery with rehabilitation
Purpose of review Stroke is a devastating illness which severely attenuates quality of life because of paralysis. Despite recent advances in therapies during acute phase such as thrombolytic therapy, clinical option to intervene the process of rehabilitation is limited. No pharmacological intervention that could enhance the effect of rehabilitation has not been established. Recent articles, which are summarized in the review article, reported novel small compound which accelerates training-dependent motor function recovery after brain damage. Recent findings A novel small compound, edonerpic maleate, binds to collapsi...

Combination of hand-crafted and unsupervised learned features for ischemic stroke lesion detection from Magnetic Resonance Images
Publication date: Available online 14 February 2019Source: Biocybernetics and Biomedical EngineeringAuthor(s): G.B. Praveen, Anita Agrawal, Ponraj Sundaram, Sanjay SardesaiAbstractDetection of ischemic stroke lesions plays a vital role in the assessment of stroke treatments such as thrombolytic therapy and embolectomy. Manual detection and quantification of stroke lesions is a time-consuming and cumbersome process. In this paper, we present a novel automatic method to detect acute ischemic stroke lesions from Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) volumes using textural and unsupervised learned features. The proposed method profic...

Understanding delays in acute stroke care: a systematic review of reviews
ConclusionThis review provides a wide overview of factors influencing acute stroke pathway. Since it was observed that the identified factors were interrelated, they needed to be analyzed in a systematic way. We hence created a synthetic framework that combines several categories of factors while assuming that factor weight varies from a study context to another. Better knowledge on underlying mechanisms between factors would provide crucial improvement of the interventions aiming at reducing delays in both pre-hospital and inhospital stages. For future research, we recommend adopting a systemic perspective on factors infl...

Multidisciplinary In Situ Mock Stroke Codes Improve Thrombolytic Delivery by Decreasing Door To Needle Times in a Comprehensive Stroke Center. (P6.086)
Conclusions: Door to needle time is reduced as a result of MSCs. MSCs should be routinely performed at CSCs to improve door to needle time and patient outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Burshtein has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kapoor has nothing to disclose.
