Filter by:Cerebrovascular accident is the 2nd leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the world. There are brakes and levers of medication adherence in the context of secondary prevention treatment in stroke.
It is a retrospective cross-sectional study, where consecutive stroke patients with vessel occlusion on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) will be included for the study for one year. The relation of Susceptibility vascular sign (SVS) on Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) with risk factors and territory involved and length of thrombus will correlated with the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS).Among total number of patients included in this study the demographics of the patients will be calculated. Risk factors for stroke of the patients included in this study will tabulated. The site of occlusion will be tabulated. The mean NIHSS scale will be calculated. Presence of SVS in patients with MR angiography positive vessel occlusion will be calculate in percentage. Subgroup analysis of presence of SVS on SWI will be done. The mean length of the thrombus will be calculated in these patients with positive SVS. Correlation between SVS on SWI with the risk factor of the patient by using the chi-square test will be calculated. A Chi-square test will be done to find out the correlation between the SVS with territorial occlusion. The correlation between the NIHSS score and length of thrombus will be calculated using the Pearson test. SWI can be useful in identifying the location of the thrombus, and NIHSS can determine the thrombus length in acute stroke. A higher incidence of SVS can be associated with risk factors and it also depends upon the site of occlusion of the vessel.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of aerobic exercise and BDNF on patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke during a computerized cognitive training. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does a moderate intensity aerobic exercise, prior to a cognitive training, allow a better performance? 2. Is it possible to exploit the timing of rehabilitation interventions to obtain greater effects? Participants will be divided in 2 groups. The experimental group will first perform 20 minutes of pedaling as a moderate intensity aerobic exercise. It will then participate in one-hour cognitive training sessions, with the aim of training attentional, working memory and executive functions. The control group will carry out the same interventions but in reverse order. The researchers will compare the results of the cognitive training in the two groups to verify if the order of the interventions influences the results themselves.
The acute management of stroke patients requires a fast and efficient screening imaging modality. The primary modalities used to select patients for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT/MR perfusion. The investigators prospectively assessed MRI and CTP concordance/discordance and correlated the imaging on both with EVT treatment decisions and clinical outcomes to verify the validity of MRI (FVH-DWI mismatch) for the preoperative assessment of EVT in patients with an extended time window (6h to 24h).
The study will make an association between the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine that establishes that the syndrome of blood stagnation generates alteration in blood flow, vascular dysfunction, and damage to the endothelium. This process is like what occurs in a stroke. It will use electroacupuncture to change this chronic inflammatory process, and to know the effects and efficacy of this technique in the regulation and modulation of to treat extensive inflammatory diseases. However, this inflammatory response must be associated with serum cholesterol levels, since they are associated with a stroke between the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and the prognosis after a stroke.
In this study we want to develop and validate a PREM for patient with ischemic stroke.
The INCOGNITO Pilot Trial is a single centre pilot prospective randomized open-label blinded endpoint (PROBE) trial to assess the feasibility of a full-scale randomized trial to determine whether an occult cancer screening strategy of FDG PET/CT in addition to usual care increases the number of occult cancers diagnosed after screening compared to usual care cancer screening alone in patients with cryptogenic stroke.
Post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) refers to the attainment of cognitive impairment after the clinical event of stroke A range of syndromes that impede diagnostic criteria. Epidemiologically, PSCI is one of the common complications in stroke patients
In patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion, the role of intravenous adjunctive medications, such as tirofiban, or alteplase before endovascular thrombectomy has not been well investigated. This trial aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous tirofiban versus alteplase for acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion piror to endovascular thrombectomy.
About half of the patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remain dependent on the help of others or die in the first 90 days. We hypothesize that treatment with ghrelin, started in the first six hours after stroke onset, improves early recovery and long-term functional outcome in these patients. Ghrelin is a naturally occurring hormone and mildly excitatory neurotransmitter also known as the 'hunger hormone.' Treatment with acylated ghrelin consistently improved functional and histological recovery in in vitro and in vivo models of ischemic stroke.
