Comparison of Hemorrhage on CT Versus MRI After Thrombectomy: The HECATE Study
Background The characterization of hemorrhage following acute stroke intervention has largely been computed tomography (CT) based. We sought to compare magnetic resonance imaging‐ (MRI‐) and CT‐based scoring of hemorrhage after acute endovascular therapy

ABSTRACT C‐truncating variants in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) gene are a rare cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), previously identified only in Denmark, Belgium, and China. We report a novel CHMP2B splice‐site variant (c.35‐1G>A) associated with familial FTLD in Spain. The cases were two monozygotic male twins who

Predictors of not maintaining regular medical follow-up after stroke
Background Regular medical follow-up after stroke is important to reduce the risk of post-stroke complications and hospital readmission. Little is known about the factors associated with stroke survivors not maintaining regular medical follow-up.

Stroke Severity Affects Timing: Time From Stroke Code Activation to Initial Imaging is Longer in Patients With Milder Strokes. [PDF]
Optimizing the time it takes to get a potential stroke patient to imaging is essential in a rapid stroke response. At our hospital, door-to-imaging time is comprised of 2 time periods: the time before a stroke is recognized, followed by the period after ...

Detecting rs‐fMRI Networks in Disorders of Consciousness: Improving Clinical Interpretability
ABSTRACT Background Preserved resting‐state functional MRI (rs‐fMRI) networks are typically observed in Disorders of Consciousness (DOC). Despite the widespread use of rs‐fMRI in DOC, a systematic assessment of networks is needed to improve the interpretability of data in clinical practice.

Study of stroke among young adults and children has been a relatively neglected area until recently. Stroke in young adults is often considered to be rare, but this misconception is colored by the high incidence of stroke in old people. Approximately 5% of all strokes occur in people younger than 45 years of age, another 5% occur in those 45 to 50 ...
