Jun 14th, 2021 - Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke Beyond 3 hours: Enthusiasm Outpaces Evidence.|2021|Garg R,|

Jun 13th, 2021 - Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening is critical to mitochondrial apoptosis during ischemic injury. Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) is a mitochondrial deacetylase known to play a major role in stress resistance and cell death. Our previous ...

Jun 13th, 2021 - Red blood cell distribution width to platelet ratio (RPR), Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), and Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are novel inflammatory biomarkers in laboratory tests, which are associated with clinical outcome...

Jun 13th, 2021 - Some clinical, imaging, and laboratory biomarkers have been identified as predictors of prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (IS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic validity of a combination of clinical, imaging, and laboratory bi...

Jun 13th, 2021 - Brain ischemia compromises natural killer (NK) cell-mediated immune defenses by acting on neurogenic and intracellular pathways. Less is known about the posttranscriptional mechanisms that regulate NK cell activation and cytotoxicity after ischemi...

Apr 18th, 2021 - AF is the most common arrhythmia. The prevalence of AF increases with age, from less than 0.2% in adults younger than age 55 years to about 10% in those age 85 years or older, with a higher prevalence in men than in women.1 AF is a major risk fact...

Feb 2nd, 2021 - Carotid artery stenosis is atherosclerotic disease that affects extracranial carotid arteries. Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis refers to stenosis in persons without a history of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or other neurologic ...

Feb 1st, 2021 - Carotid artery stenosis is atherosclerotic disease that affects extracranial carotid arteries. Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis refers to stenosis in persons without a history of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or other neurologic ...

May 19th, 2020 - Patients with acute ischemic stroke are at high-risk for contracting COVID-19 infection. Additionally, healthcare professionals including neurovascular ultrasound providers are also at risk of being infected by SARS-CoV-2 virus. Yet, preparedness ...

Apr 13th, 2020 - The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has unique implications for the anesthetic management of endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke. The Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care appointed a task force to...

Jun 16th, 2021 - There's abundant evidence linking higher alcohol intake levels to greater stroke risk and, separately, increasing risk for new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). Less settled is whether moderate to heavy drinking worsens the risk for stroke in patien...

Jun 13th, 2021 - Extended cardiac monitoring for the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) should be considered in patients who have a stroke caused by central retinal artery occlusion, a new study suggests. The study showed a high rate of device-detected AF in pa...

Jun 1st, 2021 - Two new randomized trials have added to the evidence that rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) detection are increased through the use of long-term monitoring with implantable devices. The studies have also expanded the population that may be targete...

May 14th, 2021 - In the Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAOS III) trial, slightly more than 4800 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) scheduled for open-heart surgery were randomly assigned to add-on surgical closure of the left atrial appendage or heart surge...

May 14th, 2021 - The Watchman left atrial appendage (LAA) closure device (Boston Scientific) is associated with low 1-year stroke rates, despite being used commercially in older, sicker patients than seen in pivotal clinical trials, new data suggest. Among more th...
