Perceived performance of activities of daily living by stroke patients: key in decision to call EMS and outcomes
ConclusionPerception of unimpaired performance of ADL is a crucial barrier to appropriate help-seeking behavior after acute stroke, leading to undertreatment and less improvement in clinical symptoms. Thus, beyond improving the public’s knowledge of stroke symptoms, future public education campaigns should focus on the need for calling the EMS in case of stroke symptoms even if daily activities do not seem to be severely impaired.

Prospective analysis of video head impulse tests in patients with acute posterior circulation stroke
ConclusionSignificantly abnormal vHIT results were rare in patients with acute PCS, even in the presence of DBS. Moreover, vHIT effectively differentiated dizziness between PCS and VN, highlighting its potential for aiding differential diagnosis of acute dizziness.

Alterations in the preferred direction of individual arm muscle activation after stroke
DiscussionThese findings imply that alterations in the preferred direction of individual muscle activation contribute to various aspects of motor deficit following stroke. This insight may serve as a foundation for the development of innovative stroke neurorehabilitation approaches that take into account specific attributes of individual muscle activation, including their preferred activation direction.

Diffusion tensor free water MRI predicts progression of FLAIR white matter hyperintensities after ischemic stroke
DiscussionBaseline increased interstitial fluid, estimated as FW on DTI, predicted the progression of NAWM to WMH over the following year. These results implicate the presence of FW in the pathogenesis of cerebral small vessel disease progression.

Serum retinol-binding protein 4 in stroke patients: correlation with T helper 17/regulatory T cell imbalance and 3-year cognitive function decline
ConclusionSerum RBP4 is positively associated with a Th17/Treg cell imbalance and, more importantly, it is indicative of cognitive function decline within 3 years in stroke patients. Thus, early and timely interventions and physical rehabilitation are more necessary in stroke patients with high serum RBP4.

Knowledge and awareness of stroke and associated factors in the Saudi general population: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionOur study revealed that participants have good knowledge about stroke. Nonetheless, further efforts are required to raise awareness and educate the public to optimize and ensure better treatment outcomes.

CNS-LAND score: predicting early neurological deterioration after intravenous thrombolysis based on systemic responses and injury
ConclusionCNS-LAND score is a reliable predictor of END risk in AIS patients receiving IVT.

Gait analysis patterns and rehabilitative interventions to improve gait in persons with hereditary spastic paraplegia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionKnee hyperextension, non-sagittal pelvic movements, and reduced ROM at the knee, ankle, and hip represent the most peculiar patterns in HSP, compared to diplegic cerebral palsy and stroke. Botulinum improved comfortable gait velocity after 2 months. Nonetheless, interventions reducing spasticity might result in ineffective functional outcomes unveiling weakness. Intensive active physical therapy and FES might improve gait velocity in the very short term.

Cerebral artery signal intensity gradient from Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography and clinical outcome in lenticulostriate infarction: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionCerebral artery SIG from TOF-MRA was significantly associated with short-term functional outcomes in patients with lenticulostriate infarction. Further studies are needed to investigate the temporal relationships of SIG in patients with cerebral infarction.

A nomogram predicts early neurological deterioration after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with ischemic stroke
DiscussionOur study established and validated a nomogram to stratify the risk of END before mechanical embolectomy and identify high-risk patients, who should be more cautious when making clinical decisions.

Case report: Retrograde endovascular recanalization of vertebral artery occlusion with non-tapered stump via the deep cervical collateral
ConclusionAntegrade endovascular recanalization of VA occlusion with a non-tapered stump is a challenge. The retrograde endovascular method via the cervical collateral may be an alternative for this type of VA occlusion, which requires further exploration.

Blood pressure trajectory of inpatient stroke rehabilitation patients from the Determining Optimal Post-Stroke Exercise (DOSE) trial over the first 12 months post-stroke
ConclusionBlood pressure increased after inpatient rehabilitation over the first 12 months post-stroke, especially among those with a history of hypertension. The 4-week aerobic gait training intervention did not influence this trajectory.

Neurological telerehabilitation in the COVID-19 era – current perspectives through a bibliometric analysis
ConclusionA greater interest in the subject was observed in China with greater relevance of journals and institutions focused on neurology. However, despite telerehabilitation being an effective alternative in the context of the pandemic, few studies have explored this modality.

Role of hypoxic exosomes and the mechanisms of exosome release in the CNS under hypoxic conditions
Hypoxia is characterized by low oxygen levels in the body or environment, resulting in various physiological and pathological changes. The brain, which has the highest oxygen consumption of any organ, is particularly susceptible to hypoxic injury. Exposure to low-pressure hypoxic environments can cause irreversible brain damage. Hypoxia can occur in healthy individuals at high altitudes or in pathological conditions such as trauma, stroke, inflammation, and autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, leading to severe brain damage and impairments in cognitive, learning, and memory functions. Exosomes may play a role in the ...
