Filter by:Aim of the study is assessment the prevalence of the low ankle-brachial index (ABI) defined less than or equal 0.9 in patients with acute cerebral ischemic event (stroke or transient ischemic attack) and determinate the correlation between ABI and internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS) in the acute cerebral ischemic patients. The low ABI is a strong marker of generalized atherosclerosis. LEAD is a strong independent predictor for stroke.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue liraglutide in the treatment of acute minor stroke (National Institute of Health stroke scale, NIHSS ≤ 3) or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) (ABCD2 score ≥ 4 ) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Early mobilization was thought to be effective in patients with acute ischemic stroke. As the essential component of stroke unit care, early mobilization has already been part of routine clinical practice. However, it is uncertain that which and when medical service focusing on functional recovery should be delivered after the emergency interventions for stroke. Besides, the optimal time window, for delivering early mobilization after acute ischemic stroke, has not been verified with strong evidence.
This study is to find out the significance of gut-microbiota in acute stroke patients, including their neurological, radiological outcomes as well as their stroke mechanisms.
A prospective, open label, 90-day study designed to assess the safety, performance and efficacy of thrombus removal in subjects presenting with acute ischemic stroke with the NeVa stent retrievers.
Intracranial stenosis is prevalent among Asians and constitute a common cause of cerebral ischemia. While the best medical therapy carries stroke recurrence rates in access of 10% per year, intracranial stenting was associated with unacceptable peri-procedural ischemic events. Cerebral ischemic events are strongly related to the severity of intracranial stenosis, being high in patients with severe intracranial stenosis with poor vasodilatory reserve. Enhanced External Counter-Pulsation (EECP) therapy is known to improve myocardial perfusion by facilitating the development of collateral blood vessels in the heart. The investigators hypothesize that EECP therapy may be useful in patients with severe stenosis of intracranial internal carotid (ICA) or middle cerebral artery (MCA).
In patients undergoing planned surgery for carotid tromendarterendectomy, a non-invasive device that registers heart rate variability is attached. Furthermore a non-invasive device that monitors cerebral oxygenation- near infrared spectroscopy as well as electroencephalography is also attached. At times when surgeons clamps the carotid artery, there will be a moment with controlled cerebral ischemia. This will be registered by the devices. The information obtained will be used to teach artificial intelligence what patterns are related to cerebral ischemia. The same procedure will be performed in patients undergoing ocklusive cerebral trombectomy, so the artificial intelligence will learn to recognize cerebral reperfusion.Blood samples will be drawn before and after cerebral ischemia may occur and will be analyzed for neurobiomarkers and cardiac biomarkers. To teach the algorithm patterns from anaesthesia and surgery in patients without pre existing neuronal injury, the same method will be applied to patients undergoing mixed abdominal surgery. This group will provide a better knowledge of neuro biomarker patterns during anesthesia and surgery.
This is an initial Phase1/2 dose-finding, randomized, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NCS-01 in patients with acute ischemic stroke. All patients will be randomized within 48 hours of stroke onset. This study will be conducted in 2 stages.
This study aims to build a database for patients with acute ischemic stroke who receive endovascular therapy and analyze the current situation, effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke in China.
The proposed study will investigate the clinical use of the ISCDX test that may differentiate between diverse stroke etiologies as listed below: Aim 1: Differentiate between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic ischemic strokes, when hemorrhagic stroke is ruled out, as defined by TOAST classification of subtypes of acute ischemic stroke. Aim 2: In cases of ischemic strokes of unknown or "cryptogenic" etiology, determine the ability of biomarker blood tests to predict etiology between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic.
