There was no significant association between Black race and clinical outcome following mechanical thrombectomy.

Investigators discovered a total of 23 metabolites that are associated with incident ischemic stroke in women, 4 of which were validated in independent cohorts.

With the physician deficit projected to grow larger within a decade, this global challenge has become a major focus of large organizations and medical societies.

The data safety monitoring board reviewed 90-day outcomes for the first 200 patients, recommending that investigators continue the study as it currently stands.

More than 30% of the lower dose tenecteplase group achieved major reperfusion without symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage at 24 to 48 hours after thrombolysis.

In a time when complex medical communication to the public is on display, the need to ensure patient comprehension is of utmost importance for vascular neurologists.

Investigators found that increased age, greater initial NIHSS score, arrival by EMS, and shorter time to ED arrival all contributed to increased treatment rates.

When compared with warfarin, treatment with DOACs was associated with a favorable safety profile, as well as similar clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis.

The director of Cleveland Clinic’s Epilepsy Center provided insight on a new 20-year initiative to uncover more about the origins of neurological diseases and how they occur prior to symptom onset. [WATCH TIME: 3 minutes]

The artificial neural network demonstrated an area under the precision-recall curve of 0.92 with recall of 0.72 with precision of 0.39 during testing, all values that were greater than classic regression models.

After small studies suggested eptifibatide may be safe in acute ischemic stroke, new data showed similar rates of ICH between study drug and controls, but increased PH-2 for those treated with the antiplatelet.

Results from the retrospective chart review were presented at the 2020 International Stroke Conference, held in New Orleans and virtually.

Relative to pre-pandemic era, the odds of mortality in stroke-related admissions increased during the pandemic, with an even greater risk for those less than 70 years of age.

The director of Cleveland Clinic’s Epilepsy Center discussed the new Cleveland Clinic Brain Study, which will evaluate predisease fingerprints from patients who go on to develop neurological disorders.

Relative to other PD-related genetically associated groups, only those with LRRK2-associated PD demonstrated a significantly increased risk of stroke compared with controls.
