All Three Supersystems —Nervous, Vascular, and Immune—Contribute to the Cortical Infarcts After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
AbstractThe recently published DISCHARGE-1 trial supports the observations of earlier autopsy and neuroimaging studies that almost 70% of all focal brain damage after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage are anemic infarcts of the cortex, often also affecting the white matter immediately below. The infarcts are not limited by the usual vascular territories. About two-fifths of the ischemic damage occurs within ~ 48 h; the remaining three-fifths are delayed (within ~ 3 weeks). Using neuromonitoring technology in combination with longitudinal neuroimaging, the entire sequence of both early and delayed cortical infar...

COVID-19 Pandemic and Stroke Care in Patients With Dementia Compared to Other Stroke Patients
The primary objective of this study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of stroke care for patients with preexisting dementia, compared with patients who had only stroke. The secondary aim was to investigate how the quality of stroke care changed during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods compared with the pre-pandemic period in patients with preexisting dementia.

Role of Stroke Scales and Scores in Cerebrovascular Disease
This article provides a comprehensive review of widely utilized stroke scales in both routine clinical settings and research. These scales are crucial for planning treatment, predicting outcomes, and helping stroke patients recover. They also play a pivotal role in planning, executing, and comprehending stroke clinical trials. Each scale presents distinct advantages and limitations, and the authors explore these aspects within the article. The authors' intention is to provide the reader with practical insights for a clear understanding of these scales, and their effective use in their clinical practice. (Source: Neurologic Clinics)

Safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis before mechanical thrombectomy in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionIVT plus EVT leads to better functional outcomes and lower mortality in AIS-LVO patients with AF. Withholding IVT plus EVT from patients with AF alone may not be justified. (Source: Systematic Reviews)

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2887: Subcranial Encephalic Temnograph-Shaped Helmet For Brain Stroke Monitoring
Solimene
In this contribution, a wearable microwave imaging system for real-time monitoring of brain stroke in the post-acute stage is described and validated. The system exploits multistatic/multifrequency (only 50 frequency samples) data collected via a low-cost and low-complexity architecture. Data are collected by an array of only 16 antennas moved by pneumatic system. Phantoms, built from ABS material and filled with appropriate Triton X-100-based mixtures to mimic the different head human tissues, are employed for the experiments. The microwave system exploits the differential scattering measures and the Incohere...

Endovascular Thrombectomy for Large Ischemic Strokes with ASPECTS 0 –2: a Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
ConclusionThis meta-analysis suggests a treatment effect of endovascular thrombectomy in specific patients with very low ASPECTS of 0–2, challenging the use of ASPECTS for treatment selection in acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. An individual patient meta-analysis of RCTs would strengthen evidence in the treatment o f patients with ASPECTS of 0–2.Graphic abstract (Source: Klinische Neuroradiologie)

Clinical and laboratory features of sickle cell disease s/d punjab: impact of hbf and hydroxyurea
Conclusion: SD Punjab is the third most common SCD genotype in Oman and was associated with recurrent VOC, ACS, AVN, and gall stones comparable to other SCD genotypes. Patients with> 3 VOC/year had significantly increased incidence of Stroke, AVN, and gallstones. However, HU was not associated with improved prognosis and better survival in this cohort of patients.Keywords: Sickle Cell Disease; Haemoglobin SD Punjab; vaso-occlusive crises; acute chest syndrome; Avascular Necrosis; HbF; hydroxyurea.

Haemodynamic monitoring during noncardiac surgery: past, present, and future
AbstractDuring surgery, various haemodynamic variables are monitored and optimised to maintain organ perfusion pressure and oxygen delivery – and to eventually improve outcomes. Important haemodynamic variables that provide an understanding of most pathophysiologic haemodynamic conditions during surgery include heart rate, arterial pressure, central venous pressure, pulse pressure variation/stroke volume variation, stroke volume, and cardiac output. A basic physiologic and pathophysiologic understanding of these haemodynamic variables and the corresponding monitoring methods is essential. We therefore revisit the pathoph...
