Evaluate the effectiveness of Yangxue Qingnao Granules in preventing post thrombolytic hemorrhage transformation in patients with acute cerebral infarction, and explore its possible mechanism
This observational study was designed for the assessment of plaque vulnerability in patients with carotid atherosclerotic stenosis and the development of predictive models for the occurrence and recurrence of atherosclerotic ischemic stroke. The objectives of the study were as follows: first, to integrate the degree of carotid stenosis and plaque characteristics assessed by vascular ultrasound for a comprehensive assessment of plaque vulnerability; second, to develop an assessment tool for the risk of future ischemic stroke in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis by combining vascular risk factors, serologic markers, carotid ultrasound characteristics, and contrast-enhanced ultrasonographic parameters; and third, to incorporate vascular ultrasound parameters into existing predictive models of ischemic stroke recurrence risk to develop a risk assessment tool for atherosclerotic ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How to screen high-risk patients and those eligible for revascularization from asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients for primary prevention of stroke. - How to improve the prediction accuracy of atherosclerotic ischemic stroke based on existing prediction models for secondary prevention of stroke.
This study aimed to investigate gastrocinemius function massage on physical parameters of stroke patients.
The hypothesis of this study is that sedoanalgesia will provide better early neurological recovery than general anaesthesia in acute ischaemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy and to investigate the haemodynamic data of both anaesthetic methods.
Stroke is an acute focal injury of the central nervous system caused by cerebral vessels. One in every four people is affected by stroke at different times in life. Globally, stroke is the second leading cause of death and third leading cause of disability in adults. we hypothesized that in patients with acute large vessel occlusive ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy, the infusion of 20% human serum albumin solution into the revascularization area can exert a stronger neuroprotective effect.
Prospective identification of potential responsible blood vessels, provision of intervention targets, prevention of fatal and disabling cerebrovascular diseases, identification of early END patients, determination of clinical treatment pathways, improvement of efficacy, and improvement of prognosis
This project is intended to collect data using standard clinical tests and psychophysics to quantify the effect of visual cortical damage on the structure of the residual visual system, visual perception, spatial awareness, and brain function. The investigators will also assess the effect of intensive visual retraining on the residual visual system, processing of visual information and the use of such information in real-world situations following damage. This research is intended to improve our understanding of the consequences of permanent visual system damage in humans, of methods that can be used to reverse visual loss, and of brain mechanisms by which visual recovery is achieved.
Clot extraction failure during mechanical thrombectomy is a major concern in the management of acute ischemic stroke related to large vessel occlusions. Indeed, it can occur in up to 10 to 30% of cases and, therefore, is associated with a very poor prognosis. These refractory occlusions frequently occur when an underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease is present. Thus, one of the most promising rescue technique consists of placing a permanent intracranial stent, under dual antiplatelet therapy over the target refractory occlusion. This strategy is well studied in coronary occlusions where the atheroscotic mechanism is highly prevalent. However, as the ischemiated brain is at much higher risk of hemorrhagic complications, such strategy entails a greater risk. This raises the question of whether such risk is worth the reward of obtaining reperfusion. The investigators designed this randomized study in order to evaluate whether a strategy combining rescue pemanent intracranial stenting with the best medical treatment is superior to the best medical treatment alone in acute refractory large vessel occlusions.
This study has been added as a sub study to the Simulation Training for Emergency Department Imaging 2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT05427838). The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool called qER 2.0 EU on the performance of readers, including general radiologists, emergency medicine clinicians, and radiographers, in interpreting non-contrast CT head scans. The study aims to evaluate the changes in accuracy, review time, and diagnostic confidence when using the AI tool. It also seeks to provide evidence on the diagnostic performance of the AI tool and its potential to improve efficiency and patient care in the context of the National Health Service (NHS). The study will use a dataset of 150 CT head scans, including both control cases and abnormal cases with specific abnormalities. The results of this study will inform larger follow-up studies in real-life Emergency Department (ED) settings.
