Filter by:The goal of this study is to establish a prospective study to focus on the high-risk stroke population who require coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It will divide the eligible patients into 1:1 group by simple randomization method. The control group adopt the traditional diagnosis and treatment mode, and only head CT plain scan and carotid artery ultrasound shall be performed. If necessary, relevant disciplines would be consulted but no integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels be arranged. The final treatment plan would be decided by the surgeon alone. The experimental group adopt the multidisciplinary collaboration and integrated evaluation mode. In addition to routine diagnosis and treatment as above-mentioned, integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels shall be performed, including transcranial color-coded doppler, cerebral perfusion with multislice CT, and cognitive function assessment. Based on the above results, surgical plans will be formulated jointly by multiple disciplines including neurologists, vascular surgeons, ICU physicians and cardiac surgeons. Researchers will compare the two groups to investigate whether integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels can reduce the incidence of brain injury compared with conventional diagnosis and treatment mode.
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability in Mexico and worldwide. Although current treatment strategies focus on removing oclussion, they do not interrupt the signaling cascade of neuronal damage. Thus, the search for a cerebroprotective agent that can protect the entire brain. Melatonin has been proposed as a potential cerebroprotective agent due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and immunomodulatory effects, which oppose the pathophysiological mechanisms of cerebrovascular disease. Melatonin has the potential to improve stroke outcomes and reduce the risk of disability and mortality, making it a promising therapeutic option for stroke patients. To assess the efficacy of melatonin in patients with acute ischemic CVD, improve clinical outcome, and infarct volume.
Study the prevalence of strokes in the emergency department (ED) and their possible eligibility for thrombolysis.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of MLC1501 in patients with stroke. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to orally receive MLC1501 high-dose twice a day, MLC1501 low-dose twice a day, or matching placebo for 24 weeks.
Demonstrating the pathophysiological link between Left Atrial (LA) and Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) pathology and embolic strokes in non-Atrial Fibrillation (AF) individuals represents a major advance in stroke prevention strategies. Instead of relying on non-specific criteria for stroke risk assessment, the investigators propose to identify individuals with high-risk of embolic stroke using imaging criteria that reflect the underlying pathophysiology of embolic stroke of cardiac origin. the investigators can therefore lay the groundwork for future anticoagulation strategies for stroke prevention beyond AF.
The emergency setting for acute neurological conditions, such as stroke, is peculiar due to time pressure and limited resources for further diagnostics. Clinical skills are essential for swift and accurate bedside diagnosis and thus are the basis for early and correct treatment. This is especially evident in the context of computed tomography being the standard neuroimaging method world-wide with its limitations for detecting smaller infarcts, strokes in the posterior fossa and reduced sensitivity for stroke mimics, such as epileptic seizures or migraine aura. To date, the accuracy of clinical bedside diagnosis of stroke by neurologists verified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the emergency setting has not been studied in detail. In order to improve clinical diagnosing and future treatment it is essential to quantify the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of stroke in the emergency setting ("how good are neurologists?") and to assesses whether there are any differences between experienced staff neurologists and junior physicians.
