Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient attack (TIA) is the most common neurological manifestations of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Incidental diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) positive subcortical and cortical lesions, acute incidental cerebral microinfarcts (CMI), are microscopic detectable on MRI for 10–14 days only. We aimed to look at prevalence CMI in a cohort APS their association subsequent AIS TIA. Methods: This population-based study adults diagnosis...
Patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) occasionally present intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In this study, we aimed to identify predictors for ICH in CVST patients. Prospective databases from three academic centers were retrospectively analyzed. patients and without upon presentation compared. Among the 404 included (mean age 41.8 years, 33% male), 74 (18.3%) had an ICH. The older (45 ± 20.6 vs. 41.1 18 p = 0.045), more often pregnant or postpartum women (15% 6%, 0.011),...
There is an extensive ethical debate regarding the justifiability of doctors nudging towards healthy behaviour and better health-related choices. One line argument in favour based on empirical findings, according to which a majority among public support nudges. In this paper, we show, experiment conducted, that, choices, people’s attitudes are strongly affected by point view from nudge considered. Significant differences have been found between doctors’ attitude clinical that patients. We...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Stroke-like episodes (SLEs) in patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like (MELAS) syndrome are often misdiagnosed as acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to determine unique clinical neuroimaging features for SLEs formulate diagnostic criteria. <h3>Methods</h3> retrospectively identified MELAS admitted between January 2012 December 2021. Clinical imaging findings were compared a cohort of who presented AIS similar lesion...
Introduction: Variations in the left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology are associated with different embolic risk patients fibrillation (AF). Data scarce regarding association between LAA and Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS).
