Strong SSRI May Be Linked to Decrease in Ischemic Stroke Risk
Antidepressants strongly inhibiting serotonin reuptake may be associated with a small reduction in the rate of ischemic stroke compared with weak reuptake inhibitors.
Ischemic Stroke
Endovascular Therapy in Delayed Time Window Improves Quality of Life After Stroke
Endovascular thrombectomy in the 6- to 16-hour time window after onset of ischemic stroke was found to be associated with reduced hospital stay, more home-time, and more desirable living situations in the 90 days after stroke.
Hyperglycemia May Worsen Outcomes of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
Hyperglycemia on admission is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with and without diabetes following intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.
High Plasma Lipoprotein(a) Levels Linked to Ischemic Stroke Risk
Elevated lipoprotein(a) and corresponding LPA genotypes are also associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke, although the incremental risk is less pronounced.
Use of Rehab After Ischemic Stroke Varies in Acute Care
There is considerable variation in the use of rehabilitation services in the acute care setting following ischemic stroke.
Alteplase Seems Beneficial at 4.5 to 9.0 Hours After Stroke
HealthDay News — The use of alteplase between 4.5 and 9.0 hours after stroke onset results in a higher number of patients with no or minor neurological deficits, according to a study published in the May 9 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Henry Ma, PhD, from the University of Melbourne in Australia,…
Neurofilament Light: Biomarker of Neuroaxonal Injury After Ischemic Stroke
Investigators explored the use of serum neurofilament light chain as a biomarker for primary and secondary neuroaxonal injury after ischemic stroke.
Alteplase Non-Superior to Aspirin for Improving 90-Day Functional Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Alteplase may increase the risk for symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage vs aspirin.
Adhesive Interaction Between Thrombus and Stent Retriever Predominate in Ischemic Stroke
More adhesive-type interactions were observed between the thrombus and stent-retriever after thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Alteplase Good for Ischemic Stroke With Unknown Onset Time
For patients with ischemic stroke with an unknown time of onset, intravenous alteplase is associated with better functional outcome than placebo.
