Purpose Stroke mimics takes upto 30% of patients presenting with stroke-like symptoms. We aim to evaluate the stroke mimic rate and to identify factors that may differentiate stroke mimics from real strokes in a population with a high prevalence of vascular risk factors. Materials and Methods ...
Return to work and depressive symptoms in young stroke survivors 4 November 2021 Matthias Volz (University of Kassel, Kassel, Germany), Simon Ladwig and Katja Werheid (both Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany) discuss the burden of post-stroke depression... Increased experience ...
Complex pathophysiological mechanism leading to preeclampsia have resulted in the heterogeneity of clinical signs and symptoms of this disease. In some cases, it is exceptionally difficult to provide a proper, timely diagnose, and to distinguish stroke from eclamptic seizure. Preeclampsia is associated ...
16 When imaging data were informative, presence of ischemic injury on diagnostic imaging was counted as a stroke even if the duration of symptoms was less than 24 hours.17 Despite a multispecialty approach to stroke care, some cases could not be definitively designated, so these ipsilateral ...
Nowadays, many efforts are made to reduce the time gap between the onset of symptoms and the administration of the appropriate medication, particularly the door to needle time43. However, there is substantial disparity in the access to quality acute care facilities, with poor availability in low ...
Excessive patient numbers and overcrowding, particularly in the emergency Department, may potentially result in delay of recognition of stroke symptoms and subsequent management but in Ireland as part of agreed care pathways, patients with FAST positive strokes are triaged at Level 2 and often are man...
Data from participants who had a follow-up assessment of likely stroke from the stroke symptoms questionnaire; who had a hospital discharge International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code of 433, 434, or 436,36 or a discharge diagnosis of stroke, ...
the clinical outcome at 3 months was prospectively assessed during an in person visit by a senior consultant and recorded in the SSR, using the modified Rankin scale (mRS). This scale, ranging from 0 (no symptoms at all) to 6 (death)43, is routinely used in stroke populations to evaluate...
The burden of stroke disease in China is on the rise due to an aging population and an increasing prevalence of stroke-related risk factors like diabetes and hypertension, which are inadequately controlled. Additionally, significant regional differences in stroke prevalence (such as the stroke belt)...
The super-class ''stroke type'' describes two common types of stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic) and covers concepts related to etiology, pathophysiology, and symptoms of each subtype. The other three super-classes, namely ''treatment'', ''complication'', and ''stroke prevention'', represent ...
