Neuroendovascular Rescue 2025
Neuroendovascular rescue of patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a large arterial occlusion has evolved throughout the first quarter of the present century, and continues to do so. Starting with the intra-arterial instillation of thrombolytic agents via microcatheters to dissolve occluding thromboembolic material, the current status is one that includes a variety of different techniques such as direct aspiration of thrombus, removal by stent retriever, adjuvant techniques such as balloon angioplasty, stenting, and tactical intra-arterial instillation of thrombolytic agents in smaller branches to treat no-reflow ph...

Early vs Late Anticoagulation in Acute Ischemic Stroke with Indications Outside Atrial Fibrillation
Current literature lacks guidance on the safety of administering anticoagulation in acute ischemic stroke with emergent indications that require anticoagulation other than atrial fibrillation. Therefore, we tend to rely on studies investigating acute ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation for anticoagulation recommendations. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2925: Rehabilitation Assessment System for Stroke Patients Based on Fusion-Type Optoelectronic Plethysmography Device and Multi-Modality Fusion Model: Design and Validation
This study aimed to propose a portable and intelligent rehabilitation evaluation system for digital stroke-patient rehabilitation assessment. Specifically, the study designed and developed a fusion device capable of emitting red, green, and infrared lights simultaneously for photoplethysmography (PPG) acquisition. Leveraging the different penetration depths and tissue reflection characteristics of these light wavelengths, the device can provide richer and more comprehensive physiological information. Furthermore, a Multi-Channel Convolutional Neural Network–Long Short-Term Memory–Attention (MCNN...

Visual imagery deficits in posterior cortical atrophy
Cogn Neuropsychol. 2024 May 2:1-16. doi: 10.1080/02643294.2024.2346362. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVisual imagery has a close overlapping relationship with visual perception. Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome marked by early impairments in visuospatial processing and visual object recognition. We asked whether PCA would therefore also be marked by deficits in visual imagery, tested using objective forced-choice questionnaires, and whether imagery deficits would be selective for certain properties. We recruited four patients with PCA and a patient with integrative visual agnosia due to bila...

Combining echocardiography and fluoroscopy imaging in real time for left atrial appendage occlusion - single center experience from Poland
CONCLUSIONS: This study marks the inaugural application of FI in Polish LAAO procedures. FI, offering enhanced visualization and reduced procedure times, holds promise in improving patient safety and treatment efficacy. We recommend its consideration as a standard visualization technique for LAAO procedures.PMID:38693977 | PMC:PMC11059017 | DOI:10.5114/kitp.2024.138575 (Source: Polish Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery)

A "dual-key-and-lock" platform for distinguishing autophagy during neuroinflammation
Biosens Bioelectron. 2024 Apr 27;258:116344. doi: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116344. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutophagy is an essential degradative process that governs the renewal of organelle and maintains the homeostasis of cellular microenvironment. Its dysregulation has been demonstrated to be an indicator for neuroinflammation. To elucidate the interrelationship between neuroinflammation and autophagy, optical probes are ideal tools as they offer a number of advantages such as high spatiotemporal resolution and non-invasive sensing, which help to visualize the physiological and pathological functions of interested anal...
