Neurology articles relating to the treatment and management of stroke and the neurological impact
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) improves early clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke but insights on determinants of long-term outcome after MT treatment are scarce.Data from stroke patients with anterior […]
» Read moreFollowing a doctor’s prescribed medication regimen is the key to prevent recurrent stroke and adverse outcomes. Many studies have investigated post-stroke drug adherence and persistence in patients. However, a comprehensive […]
» Read moreTo devise appropriate preventive strategies after stroke, knowledge of the association between post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and prognosis of stroke patients is important. We investigated the association between PSCI and […]
» Read moreWake-Up Stroke (WUS) patients are generally excluded from thrombolytic therapy (rTPA) due to the unknown time of stroke onset. This study aimed to investigate the effects of rTPA in WUS […]
» Read morePatients with recent stroke or transient ischaemic attack are at high risk for a further vascular event, possibly leading to permanent disability or death. Although evidence-based treatments for secondary prevention […]
» Read morePosterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCiS) constitutes 20-30% of ischemic stroke cases. Detailed information about differences between PCiS and anterior circulation ischemic stroke (ACiS) remains scarce. Such information might guide clinical […]
» Read moreConflicting findings have been reported on the prognostic significance of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in patients with stroke. The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the prognostic utility of […]
» Read moreTo assess the risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischemic stroke in patients with symptomatic near-occlusion with and without full collapse.Included were consecutive patients eligible for revascularization, grouped into symptomatic conventional ≥ 50% […]
» Read moreCardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is closely related to our health, but whether high cardiorespiratory fitness could reduce stroke risk remains controversial. We used a meta-analysis to examine the overall association between […]
» Read moreClinical outcome after endovascular thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke still varies significantly. Higher blood glucose levels (BGL) have been associated with worse clinical outcome, but the pathophysiological causes […]
» Read moreIschemic stroke (IS) is a common cause of death from vascular diseases. Studies have found that smoking increases the risk of ischemic stroke, but the association of smoking with the […]
» Read moreAbstract: Aging is an established risk factor for stroke; genes regulating longevity are implicated in the pathogenesis of ischaemic stroke where to date, therapeutic options remain limited. The blood-brain barrier […]
» Read moreAbstract: There is a paucity of evidence to guide the diagnostic evaluation of emergency department (ED) patients presenting after nonfatal strangulation (manual strangulation or near hanging). We seek to define […]
» Read moreAbstract: The protective effect of obesity on mortality in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients remains debated. We aimed at evaluating the impact of obesity on ischemic and bleeding events as […]
» Read moreAbstract: To identity clinical features that distinguish between cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-associated convexity subarachnoid haemorrhage (cSAH) and suspected TIA.We undertook a single-centre, retrospective case-control study. We identified cases [patients with […]
» Read moreAbstract: This study evaluated the association between ischaemic stroke (IS) and heart failure (HF) in the absence of atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL) using a population-based nation-wide cohort […]
» Read moreAbstract: Ibrutinib is associated with dramatic efficacy against B-cell malignancies. Yet, ibrutinib is linked with potentially-limiting cardiotoxicity, including emerging reports of profound hypertension. However, the long-term incidence, severity, and impacts […]
» Read moreAbstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) guidelines focus on target glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Long-term variability in HbA1c may be predictive of hospitalization or mortality, but its importance at different average levels […]
» Read moreAbstract: Patients having transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) routinely undergo coronary angiography before the procedure to define the coronary anatomy and to evaluate the extend of coronary artery disease (CAD). […]
» Read moreAbstract: We present a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing efficacy and safety outcomes between single procedure multivessel revascularization (MVR) and culprit vessel only revascularization in patients presenting with non-ST-segment-elevation acute […]
» Read moreAbstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a source of altered brain perfusion and ischemia, potentially leading to cerebral injury and blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption, which may result in the permeation […]
» Read moreAbstract: General anesthesia during thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke has been associated with poor neurological outcome in nonrandomized studies. Three single-center randomized trials reported no significantly different or improved outcomes […]
» Read moreAbstract: The antibiotics dicloxacillin and flucloxacillin induce cytochrome P450 dependent metabolism of warfarin. We explored the influence of these drug-drug interactions on the clinical effectiveness of warfarin therapy due to […]
