Stroke

The benefits of lowering systolic blood pressure for stroke prevention and reducing poststroke disability are numerous, but the ideal target remains elusive.

New study results suggest that thrombectomy may have similar rates of favorable neurologic outcomes and a comparable safety profile in both pediatric and adult patients with stroke.

"Mind Moments," a podcast from NeurologyLive, brings you an exclusive interview with Fred Rincon, MD, MSc.

The senior research scientist in the Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research at Kessler Foundation spoke to the research being done into the functional implementation of exoskeletons in neurorehabilitation.

The senior research scientist in the Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research at Kessler Foundation shared insight into the work she and her colleagues are doing to try to revolutionize the way exoskeletons can improve neurorehabilitation and gait challenges.

The senior research scientist in the Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research at Kessler Foundation spoke about using the exoskeleton and dermal skeleton devices in functional recovery for patients who have lost the ability to walk.

The prognosis of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is favorable compared with other types of stroke: almost 80% of patients with CVT recover without functional disability. Nevertheless, 5% to 10% of patients die in the acute phase.

In a time where more than half of all patients with acute stroke and most patients with severe stroke arrive at the hospital via emergency medical services, a study suggests mobile stroke units are better equipped to accurately triage patients.

The 1st Annual Congress on the Future of Neurology will take place September 27-28, 2019 at the InterContinental New York Times Square in New York City.

The director of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research spoke about how hyperbaric oxygen therapy may offer new hope in improving cognition in patients who have had a stroke.

Given that ICH is associated with some of the worst outcome rates among stroke subtypes, investigators sought to evaluate the effect of improved implementation of a system of evidence- and guideline-based interventions.

Interest in advancing research in stroke therapeutics has historically come in fits and starts. Now with intravenous tPA and thrombectomy in regular use, experts are looking to get a step ahead of the damage.

The child neurology resident at NYU Langone spoke about ways for residents to identify and address impaired colleagues that suffer from depression and burnout.

The associate chief of the MS division and professor of neurology at the University of Pennsylvania described the relationship between artificial intelligence and medicine, and how he sees it evolving in the future.

Dysphagia is a common symptom and complication of neurologic disorders, yet no clear treatment protocol has been identified.

Mind Moments® a podcast from NeurologyLive®, brings you exclusive interviews with experts in neurologic disorders.

The staff neurologist at Cleveland Clinic’s Mellen Center for MS shared her insight into the use of telemedicine in an outpatient setting across a number of subspecialties in neurology and how it can supplement care going forward.

The International Congress on the Future of Neurology will take place this Fall in New York City, convening experts in neurology to discuss the latest data and best practices to better inform clinical decision-making.

The director of the Pediatric Stroke Program at CHOP spoke about the need to improve early recognition of pediatric stroke and physician awareness of the condition, which many believe is underdiagnosed and underestimated.

On our anniversary, take a look back at some of our most popular articles and interviews across a range of neurology topics.

Despite the fact that the rate of reductions for recurrent stroke in the intensive group were not significant in this study, a meta-analysis of 3 previous trials supports the use of a blood pressure target less than 130/80 mm Hg to reduce stroke recurrence.

The co-director of the Gates Stroke Center and Cerebrovascular Surgery at Kaleida Health and director of endovascular stroke treatment and research medical director of neuroendovascular services at Gates Vascular Institute spoke about unmet needs in stroke and the value of introducing innovative technologies into the space.

The investigational therapy has the potential to be a first-in-class neuronal progenitor cell therapeutic with anti-apoptotic activity that improves cerebral blood flow and neurological outcome in stroke.

The International Congress on the Future of Neurology will take place this Fall in New York City, convening experts in neurology to discuss the latest data and best practices to better inform clinical decision-making.
