Filter by: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.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a single intravenous infusion of unrelated donor umbilical cord blood (UCB) for improving functional outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke. Eligible subjects will receive an intravenous infusion of UCB or placebo 3-10 days following stroke. Subjects will not receive immunosuppressive or myeloablative medications prior to the infusion. Subjects will be followed for one year post infusion for safety and efficacy. Assessments will examine safety and tolerability of the infusion, change in neurological symptoms, change in quality of life, and emotional and cognitive status. Assessments will occur at 24 hours post infusion, and at 30, 90, 180 and 365 days post infusion.
The aim of this study is to address the usefulness of carotid duplex ultrasound as vascular imaging for selecting acute stroke patients for endovascular thrombectomy.
Agents of sanchi have been widely used as a complementary medicine for stroke in China. Sanchitongshu is a new Chinese patent medicine extracted from sanchi which has stronger anti-platelet activity than other agents of sanchi. The investigators's aim was to investigate the synergistic action of aspirin combined with sanchitongshu capsule in the treatment of patients with minor ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack.
The purpose of this study is to find out a serum marker for the evaluation of blood brain barrier damage based on animal experiments and investigate the effect of NBO（Normobaric hyperoxia）on blood brain barrier in the acute ischemic stroke patients who received r-tPA thrombolytic therapy.
The primary objectives of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of HLCM051 on functional outcome in subjects with acute ischemic stroke and to evaluate the safety of HLCM051 in subjects with acute ischemic stroke.
The ESCAPE-NA-1 study is designed to determine the safety and efficacy of the neuroprotectant, Nerinetide (NA-1), in reducing global disability in subjects with major acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with a small established infarct core and with good collateral circulation who are selected for endovascular revascularization.
Stroke treatment includes thrombolysis, thrombectomy for patients with proximal artery occlusion and sometimes neurosurgery. It rises questions regarding hemostasis: thrombolysis induces fibrinolysis but its effects on coagulation, fibrinogen and platelets and duration of these effects are unknown. Thus management of antithrombotics and hemostasis during thrombectomy and surgery is an issue. Objectives : to describe thrombolysis-induced hemostatic disorders (fibrinolysis, coagulation, fibrinogen, platelets) in patients requiring thrombectomy for stroke and to evaluate the time required for the normalization of these disorders. Methods : Observational monocentric study including rtPA-treated patients requiring endovascular treatment for stroke. Blood sampling within the first 48 hours after rtPA administration to assess of fibrinolysis, coagulation and platelet functions with point of care devices and specific laboratory tests. Record of clinical and biological data.
to detect the efficiency and safety of intravenous rtPA combined with RIPC in acute ischemic stroke patients
This trial aims at collecting standardized data concerning the early neurological clinical recovery of patients, 3 months after endovascular treatment of an acute ischemic stroke. Although this outcome is a major issue of patients' prognosis, it is rarely collected at this stage of their follow-up.
