Acute Stroke [PDF]

Hypertension, 2010
Not much progress has occurred in guidelines to treat blood pressure (BP) during acute stroke since Sir George Pickering wrote in 1968 about cerebral hemorrhage: “Probably diastolic pressures over 110 are worth reducing to 90 mm Hg. This is a guess, and theoretical arguments could be urged against, or for, different figures,” and about ischemic stroke:

Naftidrofuryl for Acute Stroke [PDF]

Stroke, 2005
Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of disability in the western world. The development of drugs to limit the effects of brain damage caused by stroke continues but no routine effective treatment has yet been identified.

Hyperemia detection on arterial spin labeling is associated with final infarct volume in stroke post-endovascular therapy

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Background and Purpose: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated with endovascular therapy (EVT) may develop hyperemia due to loss of relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) autoregulation.

Acute Stroke Care in Mexico City: The Hospital Phase of a Stroke Surveillance Study

Brain Sciences, 2022
Background: Acute stroke care has greatly improved in recent decades. However, the increasing stroke mortality in low-to-middle income countries suggests that progress has not been reached completely by these populations.

Edema progression in proximity to traumatic microbleeds: Evolution of cytotoxic and vasogenic edema on serial MRI

NeuroImage: Reports
Introduction: Although cerebral edema is common following traumatic brain injury (TBI), its formation and progression are poorly understood. This is especially true for the mild TBI population, who rarely undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies,

Decrease of thyroid function after ischemic stroke is related to stroke severity

Thyroid Research, 2023
Background Thyroid hormones are of fundamental importance for brain function. While low triiodothyronine levels during acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are associated with worse clinical outcomes, dynamics of thyroid function after AIS remains unknown.

Overview of Acute Ischemic Stroke Evaluation and Management

Biomedicines, 2021
Stroke is a major contributor to death and disability worldwide. Prior to modern therapy, post-stroke mortality was approximately 10% in the acute period, with nearly one-half of the patients developing moderate-to-severe disability. The most fundamental

Acute Stroke

International Psychogeriatrics, 2003
The treatment of patients with acute stroke is reviewed. Evidence of the existence of an ischemic penumbra in humans is presented. Different approaches to treatment of acute stroke include restoring blood flow by thrombolysis, neuroprotection, and early secondary prevention with aspirin.

Stroke-mimics in stroke-units. Evaluation after changes imposed by randomized trials [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2020
A larger therapeutic window for stroke treatment requires a significant change in the organization of emergency services, avoiding the increase in number of imaging exams and indirectly the time to treatment.

Acute stroke imaging [PDF]

Neuroradiology, 2010
In this issue of Neuroradiology, two review papers present the current status of acute stroke imaging. Twenty-five years ago, CT was the method of choice for acute stroke patients. We had learned to see diminutive changes of Hounsfield units in the basal ganglia, effacement of sulci at the surface of the brain, and hyperdense artery signs in nearly all
