Hippocrates could never have imagined the progress made in stroke care since this statement, yet world is still unable to agree on a universal definition. This review charts evolution of definition and highlights current problems.
Background and purpose: Until now stroke transient ischaemic attack (TIA) have been clinically-based terms which describe the presence duration of characteristic neurological deficits attributable to intrinsic disorders particular arteries supplying brain, retina or (sometimes) spinal cord. Further, infarction has pathologically defined as death neural tissue due reduced blood supply. Recently it proposed we shift definitions TIA determined by neuroimaging results alone that findings be...
Purpose To quantify a pseudoenhancement phenomenon observed during dynamic contrast material–enhanced ultrasonography (US) of the carotid artery, both in vitro and vivo. Materials Methods Ethical approval was obtained prior to commencing this prospective case series, each patient gave written informed consent. Thirty-one patients with 50%–99% internal artery stenosis underwent contrast-enhanced US bifurcation use 2 mL microbubbles. In final 10 patients, an additional 1 bolus administered...
The optimal management of patients with asymptomatic (AsxCS) and symptomatic carotid stenosis (SxCS) is still debatable. present article will discuss emerging technological advances for the diagnosis AsxCS. PubMed/MedLine was searched until December 31, 2024 studies in English discussing Several have recently been reported, among others, nanoplastics microplastics, artificial intelligence machine learning predictive analytics stroke prevention, digital twins personalized monitoring,...
Development of translational functional imaging modalities for atherosclerosis risk stratification is sought stroke prediction. Our group has developed late-phase contrast-enhanced ultrasound (LP-CEUS) to quantify microbubble contrast retention within carotid and shown it separate asymptomatic plaques from those responsible recent cerebrovascular events. We hypothesized that microbubbles are retained in areas plaque inflammation, aiming examine whether LP-CEUS signal reflects...
The national abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening programme measures internal wall diameter; however, current UK intervention criteria use external diameter. Our aim was to determine the clinical significance of difference between these two measurements.Fifty patients on an surveillance were ultrasound scanned by experienced vascular scientists, blinded other's results. Maximum anteroposterior and maximum diameters measured.The median diameter 6 mm (IQR 6-7) for scientist 1 7 5-8) 2....
Consensus guidelines on the optimal management of infected arterial pseudoaneurysms secondary to groin injecting drug use are lacking. This pathology is a problem in UK and globally, yet operative options remain contentious. study was designed establish consensus promote better these patients, drawing expert experience those location with high prevalence illicit use.
