Apr 19th, 2021 - A 58-year-old man presented with a complaint of subjective visual field loss on the right side and hypertensive emergency. Examination revealed a right homonymous hemianopia. Computed tomography imaging revealed an acute stroke of the left lateral...

Apr 19th, 2021 - In acute stroke, preventing infarct growth until complete recanalization occurs is a promising approach as an adjunct to reperfusion therapies to reduce infarct size and improve outcome. In rodent models, cathodal transcranial direct current stimu...

Apr 19th, 2021 - Small-vessel occlusions are the most common causes of mild strokes and, in China, account for approximately 27.3% of ischemic stroke cases. However, the factors associated with short- and long-term outcomes appear contradictory. Thus, we assessed ...

Apr 16th, 2021 - The use of a balloon-guide catheter (BGC) in acute stroke treatment has been widely adopted after demonstrating optimized procedure metrics and outcomes. Initial technical constraints of previous devices included catheter stiffness and smaller inn...

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 ...

May 6th, 2020 - Stroke is an uncommon but an important and under-recognized cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Strokes may be due to either brain ischemia or intracranial hemorrhage. Common symptoms of pediatric acute stroke include headache, vomiting,...

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...

Aug 28th, 2018 - This paper is an abridged and modified version of guidelines produced by the Joint British Diabetes Societies for inpatient care on glycaemic management during the enteral feeding of people with stroke and diabetes. These were revised in 2017 and ...
