The Role of Apolipoprotein E on the Age of Ischemic Stroke Onset and Stroke Outcome
Researchers found the APO ε4 allele is associated with younger age at ischemic stroke onset but not with stroke outcomes.

The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association have released an update to their 2018 guidelines for the early management of acute ischemic stroke.
Researchers sought to determine whether atrial fibrillation increases risk for adverse events in hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke .
Study confirms a high correlation and good agreement between infarct volumes measured using acute diffusion-weighted imaging and relative cerebral blood flow derived from temporally and volumetrically matched perfusion data.
In patients with ischemic penumbra and blood-brain barrier disruption, hyperoxygenation therapy may mitigate ischemia and remove air.
Increasing white matter hyperintensity volume load may be associated with recurrent stroke after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, and with 1-year mortality after ischemic stroke.
Secondary analysis of the SELECT trial finds endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) may have therapeutic benefits for patients with large infarcts, especially if they are treated early and have a large core volume.
Antidepressants strongly inhibiting serotonin reuptake may be associated with a small reduction in the rate of ischemic stroke compared with weak reuptake inhibitors.
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 on admission is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with and without diabetes following intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.
