Abstract null null Objectives null Coordinators contribute to stroke care quality. Evidence on the scope of practice of coordinator roles for stroke is lacking. We aimed to survey Australian stroke coordinators and describe their responsibilities and characteristics, and compare these based on perceived competency. null null null Materials and Methods null Online survey of non-physician coordinators with a clinical leadership position for acute stroke in Australian hospitals. Participants were i...
Abstract null null Objectives null The guidelines of the American Hospital Association encourage transferring intracerebral hemorrhage patients from community hospitals to centers with stroke expertise. However, research on the differences in outcomes between transferred intracerebral hemorrhage hospitalizations and directly admitted hospitalizations have been largely limited to small single-center studies. In this study, we explored the national trends in transferred intracerebral hemorrhage ho...

OBJECTIVES Family history of stroke increases stroke risk, however mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. We investigated whether family history of stroke is related to increased prevalence of stroke risk factors, unhealthy behaviors and self-reported stroke symptoms in middle-aged adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a cross-sectional study conducted from November 2018 to January 2021 in 100 primary care facilities in Poland we evaluated adults aged 40-65 years (n = 2207, women 57.4...

Abstract null null Background null Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is associated with activation of the inflammatory cascade contributing to unfavorable outcome and secondary complications, such as delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Both fatty acid–binding protein 3 (FABP3) and CXC-chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL-16) have been linked to vascular inflammation and cellular death. The authors aimed to assess the 30-day prognostic value of serum levels of FABP3 and CXCL-16 and explore their associ...

Abstract null null Objectives null Decompressive hemicraniectomy decreases mortality and severe disability from space-occupying middle cerebral artery infarction in selected patients. However, attitudes towards hemicraniectomy for dominant-hemispheric stroke have been hesitant. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the association of stroke laterality with outcome after hemicraniectomy. null null null Materials and methods null We performed a systematic literature search up to 6th Fe...

We report a symptomatic developmental venous anomaly (DVA) not causing parenchymal abnormality to provide a pathophysiologic clue in patients with recurrent transient neurologic deficit. A 32-year-old male presented with recurrent transient motor aphasia and headache in the left fronto-temporal region for three years. The symptoms usually lasted for one hour. Brain computed tomography (CT) angiography and magnetic resonance imaging using gradient recalled echo showed a prominent penetrating vein...
Abstract null null Objectives null This study aimed to prove the safety and efficacy of the contact aspiration using non-penetrating of thrombus (CANP) technique for the initial procedure for acute ischemic stroke and to increase operator familiarization with the technical aspects of the CANP technique. null null null Materials and Methods null A total of 103 patients with large-vessel stroke who were treated using thrombectomy alone at our institution between April 2019 and March 2021 were incl...

Abstract null null Introduction and purpose null Timely inter-facility transfer of thrombectomy-eligible patients is a mainstay of Stroke Systems of Care. We investigated transfer patterns among stroke certified hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex (19 counties, 9,286 sq mi, > 7.7 million people), by hospital network and stroke center status. null null null Methods null We conducted a North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council (NCTTRAC) Stroke Regional Care Survey at all ...
