Abstract null null Background and Purpose null During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we instituted virtual inpatient stroke rounds and acute stroke evaluations via telemedicine in the emergency department. We sought to explore trainees’ and experienced providers’ views on stroke care and education. null null null Methods null The implementation and the survey took place at a single academic comprehensive stroke center in northeast Ohio in the United States. “Virtual rounding” ...
Abstract null null Objectives null Upper limb impairment is the most common motor impairment in stroke survivors. The use of new technologies in the field of rehabilitation aims to reduce the impact of functional problems. Our objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Leap Motion Controller® virtual reality system in the treatment of upper limb functionality in people with stroke. null null null Materials and Methods null PRISMA guidelines were used to carry out the systematic revi...
Abstract null null Objectives null Recent case-reports have described an atypical cerebral microbleed (CMB) topography after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence, radiographic patterns, and clinical correlates of possibly-ECMO-related (PER) CMB. null null null Materials and methods null We performed a retrospective study of 307 consecutive patients receiving ECMO support at our tertiary-care University Hospital (2013–2018). PER CMB...
Objectives null The recommendations of international guidelines for the management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) often vary considerably and extend from a conservative approach with risk factor modification and best medical treatment (BMT) alone, to a more aggressive approach with a carotid intervention plus BMT. The aim of the current multispecialty position statement is to reconcile the conflicting views on the topic. null Materials and methods null A literature review was performed w...

Abstract null null Objectives null Gender differences historically exist in cardiovascular disease, with women experiencing higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events. We investigated these trends in a contemporary Asian cohort, examining the impact of gender differences on cardiac mortality and ischemic stroke after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). null null null Materials and Methods null We analysed 3971 consecutive pat...
Abstract null null Background null Recently studies have shown that select acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large ischemic core could be deemed as reasonable candidates to receive mechanical thrombectomy (MT) with low risk of developing parenchymal hemorrhage (PH) or symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH); however, the selection criterion remains lacking. Our study aims to investigate the relationship between a novel imaging biomarker of largest core mass volume (LCMV) and developm...
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...

OBJECTIVES Post-ischemic inflammation leads to apoptosis as an indirect cause of functional disabilities after the stroke. Melatonin may be a good candidate for the stroke recovery because of its anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, we investigated the effect of melatonin on inflammation in the functional recovery of brain by evaluating ipsilesional and contralesional alterations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Melatonin (4 mg/kg/day) was intraperitoneally administered into the mice from the 3rd to the ...
Abstract null null Objective null : There have been no reports suggesting a relationship between the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines that encodes the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 and cerebrovascular disease. A case of repeated cardioembolic stroke after vaccination with the BNT162b2 (Pfizer) COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is presented. null null null Methods null : Imaging and laboratory findings, treatment decisions, and the outcome of this case are presented. null null null Results null : An 83-year-old Jap...

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...
