Large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke is a common presentation of acute ischemic and often unknown or cryptogenic in etiology. There strong association between atrial fibrillation (AF) LVO stroke, making it unique subgroup. Therefore, we propose that any meeting the criteria for an embolic undetermined source (ESUS) be classified as large ESUS (LESUS). The purpose this retrospective cohort study was to report etiology anterior strokes underwent endovascular thrombectomy.This single-center...

Background: A number of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) cases may be misdiagnosed as transient attack (TIA), due to no infarct on initial computed tomography scan and/or mild deficits upon presentation. Several studies have found that the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an accurate differential diagnostic biomarker for AIS versus TIA; however, study has evaluated use NLR in differentiating CT negative from TIA. Furthermore, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) a relatively novel immune...

Introduction The differential diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) versus mild acute stroke (AIS) during the initial presentation to emergency department is often difficult, as both TIA and AIS relies on presence focal neurologic signs. As such, roughly 50% patients with or deficits have an uncertain prior neuroimaging. Biomarkers, particularly leukocyte biomarkers, may be used by clinicians diagnose neuroimaging, this study first describe use biomarkers for differentiation AIS, TIA,...

Background: Depression is a leading cause of disability post-stroke. Nearly third stroke victims suffer from depression after event occurrence. Post-stroke hinders physical rehabilitation, decreases quality life, and has negative effect on long-term survivability. Inflammatory processes post-ischemic are likely associated with the development depression. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) routinely available marker systemic inflammation could serve as prognostic tool at hospital admission...

In a typical operating room (OR), there are many individuals who present all dressed in similar attire, making it extremely difficult to distinguish person's role the OR. Misidentification of an individual OR can make effective communication difficult, which could adversely impact patient safety. Furthermore, inability identify graduate medical students or from faculty may hinder student learning opportunities within The purpose this study was determine whether implementation role-based,...

Background: Despite decades long adoption as the standard-of-care for ischemic stroke, majority of eligible patients do not receive intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), with underutilization especially pronounced in rural areas. Telestroke, however, may help alleviate this geographical healthcare disparity. The current study aims to identify impact implementing a mature telestroke network within setting. Methods: Retrospective review prospectively maintained database from large tertiary care...

Opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is an extremely rare neurological typically affecting as few 1 in 10,000,000 people annually. OMS characterized by the presence of involuntary, saccadic eye movements, well ataxia, including gait incoordination, rigidity, and tremor. The origin unclear, but a significant percentage cases are indicative underlying malignancy, most commonly neuroblastoma small cell lung cancer. Here we describe adult patient with OMS, who was ultimately diagnosed ductal...

Although acute stroke endovascular therapy (EVT) has dramatically improved outcomes in ischemic (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusions (LVO), access to EVT-capable centers remains limited, particularly rural areas. Therefore, it is essential optimize triage systems for EVT-eligible patients. One strategy may be the use of a telestroke network that typically consists multiple spoke sites receive consultation determine appropriateness patient transfer an hub site. Standardization AIS...

The rate of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) mortality has decreased over the last few years. However, in rural areas, this reduction is less substantial compared to urban areas despite effort translate lifestyle intervention which was successful areas. purpose study use community‐based participatory research principles conduct a pilot test feasibility and acceptability community improve CVD health. We assessed using retention recruitment along with CV parameters i.e., Framingham risk score,...

Introduction: Telestroke networks have effectively increased the number of ischemic stroke patients who access to acute therapy. However, availability a dedicated group subspecialists is not always feasible. We hypothesize that rates tPA recommendation, sensitivity final diagnosis, and post-tPA hemorrhagic complications do differ significantly between neurologists an emergency-medicine physician during telestroke consultations. Methods: Retrospective review all consults performed at...

Background: Inhospital stroke (IHS) is defined as an acute ischemic infarction that occurs during hospitalization in a patient originally admitted for another diagnosis or procedure. Approximately 4 to 17 percent of all adult strokes are IHS, and most IHS cardiologic cardiosurgical patients after catheterization surgery. Time brain imaging longer vs community onset (COS) due delayed symptom recognition, consequently, have greater disability increased mortality comparted their COS...

Objective . While administration of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) is the standard care in acute ischemic stroke and has been shown to have statistically significant benefit, there can also be potentially life-threatening complications; however, no informed consent approach. The purpose this study was present a parental, technical, general model for IV-TPA determine which approach preferred.
