Filter by:The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the added value of mobile health (mHealth) to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) early in the care path of cryptogenic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients.
PRAAN is a post-market registry designed to collect real-world data associated with the use of Medtronic market release neurothrombectomy devices in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients from India.
The aim of the pilot study is to collect all the ultrastructural platelet characteristics by transmission electron microscopy before and after the onset of an antiplatelet treatment in patients hospitalized for an ischemic stroke ; and to assess recurrence of Ischemic Cerebral Accident (ICA) at 6 months in patients hospitalized for Ischemic stroke.
With the aging of today's population, stroke is the top three causes of disability and death among people over the age of 60 in the world. About 5.5 million people die each year from strokes in Taiwan, and Taiwan's top ten causes of death in cerebrovascular disease rank fourth in the world. Constipation is the most common complication of stroke patients and increases the risk of brain damage and re-stroke. Although the clinical use of drugs can relieve intestinal symptoms, there is also a risk of potential side effects. The systematic literature points out that the use of acupoint stimulation can improve spontaneous bowel movements and promote bowel motility, but there is no conclusion on effective acupuncture points. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to improve the constipation of patients with stroke by non-invasive and precise acupoint care. This study used a single-blind randomized control trial. The neurosurgery ward of a medical center in the north was used as the research site, and patients with ischemic stroke were used as the research objects. The experimental group received precision acupoint care, and the control group received routine care. The questionnaire was used to collect basic patient information (basic attributes, disease care and TCM constitution), and gut-related assessments. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 22.0 software for descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis, and p <.05 was considered to have statistical significance.
This study will evaluate whether low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) lowering with alirocumab results in greater change from baseline in intracranial atherosclerotic plaque at week 26 than control in adults with acute ischemic stroke from intracranial atherosclerosis taking lipid lowering therapy.
Safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines may reduce the transmission of and achieve population immunity against the COVID-19 pandemic, which accounted for more than 3.75million deaths worldwide. With World Health Organization's (WHO) effort on ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, vaccination rate may increase in the near future. On the other hand, vaccination hesitancy has emerged as a major hindrance on the global vaccination campaigns in certain areas due to safety concerns, social factors, and public health policies. For instance, a recent survey conducted in Hong Kong showed a low vaccine acceptance rate of 37%. Long-term safety concerns and post-vaccination events relayed by the social media maybe reasons for vaccination hesitancy. Among which, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) after vaccination were one of the most frequently reported post-vaccination events. These reports ranged from ischemic strokes in elderly patients with multiple cardiovascular co-morbidities, to hemorrhage strokes in otherwise "young-and-fit" adults. While many of these events were investigated by the COVID-19 immunization expert committee, an important premise to address the apprehension of CVA after vaccination is the provision of evidence-based information of the impact of COVID-19 vaccines on brain health. In this prospective, longitudinal, observational study, we aim to elucidate the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and cerebrovascular health in healthy citizens in a population-based cohort.
Compare the safety and efficacy of the DAISE to stent retrievers in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke
The use of rescue intracranial stenting is thought to be associated with better outcomes than with patients received medical treatment only after failed thrombectomy as Reperfusion technique. This raised the questions about the factors that affect outcomes of rescue intracranial stenting angioplasty, so the best outcomes can be achieved.
In acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial large vessel occlusion, rescue intracranial stenting has been recently a treatment option to achieve recanalization in patients with the failure of mechanical thrombectomy. Nevertheless, there are few studies supporting this beneficial treatment in two cerebral circulations. We aimed to analyse whether the use of rescue intracranial stenting would improve prognosis of patients at 3 months.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect or ordinary and differential learning based physiotherapy for torso control, balance and gait on subjects with ischemic stroke in the second phase of rehabilitation
