Sep 22nd, 2020 - Although obesity is an established risk factor of primary stroke, the association between obesity and post-stroke mortality remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between dynamic obesity status and mortality in s...

Sep 22nd, 2020 - A developmental venous anomaly (DVA) is the most common intracranial congenital anomaly and is mostly asymptomatic. Thrombosis rarely develops in a DVA due to hypercoagulation. We report a case of ischemic stroke in the area of a DVA after minor h...

Sep 22nd, 2020 - About 66% of stroke survivors present with cognitive or physical consequences, which are often complicated by emotional instability. Alexithymia is defined as "a difficulty in identifying and describing feelings", although there is no consensus on...

Sep 22nd, 2020 - Benchmarking is a management approach for implementing best medical practices at the lowest cost. The objectives of this study were to set achievable performance benchmarks for individual quality indicators to determine the predicted quality achie...

Sep 22nd, 2020 - Both preclinical and clinical evidence supports the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the pathobiology of cerebral ischemia. Selective cannabinoid-2 (CB2) receptor agonists exert significant neuroprotection in animal models of focal bra...

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...

Nov 25th, 2019 - Cardiac thromboembolism attributed to atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for up to one-third of ischemic strokes. Stroke may be the first manifestation of previously undetected AF. Given the efficacy of oral anticoagulants in preventing AF-re...

Oct 14th, 2019 - The main culprit lesion causing hiccup in patients with ischemic stroke is thought to involve the medulla oblongata, but some cases of hiccups caused by damage to the supratentorial cortex have been reported. The present study aimed to address the...

Jul 22nd, 2019 - Question Does intensive glucose control improve functional outcome in patients with hyperglycemic acute ischemic stroke? Findings This randomized clinical trial included 1151 adults who received either intensive treatment of hyperglycemia (targ...

Jul 15th, 2019 - Background Patients with asthma have a high incidence of acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Objective To investigate the acute effect of asthma exacerbation on these cardiovascular events. Methods Using population-based inpatient d...

Mar 31st, 2020 - The other secondary end point — CV death, ischemic stroke, and MI — occurred in 13. 4% of those receiving only OAC and 17.

Mar 28th, 2020 - VOYAGER PAD trial The VOYAGER PAD (Vascular Outcomes Study of Acetylsalicylic Acid Along With Rivaroxaban in Endovascular Or Surgical Limb Revascularization for Peripheral Artery Disease) trial enrolled patients during 2015-2018 at 534 sites in 34.

Mar 24th, 2020 - LOS ANGELES – Limiting intracranial artery stenting to stroke patients who fit the tightly defined labeling the device has may have minimized periprocedural complications, as shown in the WEAVE trial results reported in 2019, but 1-year follow-up.

Mar 17th, 2020 - The Get With the Guidelines – Stroke program is finally turning its attention to hemorrhagic strokes after having spurred improved patient management performance from participating U. S.

Mar 16th, 2020 - LOS ANGELES – Investigators have developed a risk score to predict the likelihood of stroke among patients with migraine with aura. The study on which the risk score is based was presented at the International Stroke Conference sponsored by the Am.
