BackgroundRapidly improving or mild symptoms is the most common reason that acute stroke patients arriving within the approved time window are not treated with intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV tPA). We reviewed outcomes at discharge for patients excluded from IV tPA because of ...
One of them had a lesion in the right hemisphere and five in the left hemisphere. Four lesions were located in the insular area and two within the temporal lobe. In conclusion, cerebral hemispheric infarction limited to the PIVC or TPSVC does not necessarily cause vertigo. However, unilateral...

In medicine, "symptoms” are subjective experiences attributed to changes in the body, usually due to ill health. Examples of symptoms are pain, nausea, loss ofappetiteetc. In contrast, "signs" refers to observations that can be detected by an observer (such as vomiting, or ...
atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, stroke severity, right hemisphere lesion, pre-stroke cognitive decline, pre-stroke disability and infections, higher apathy score (OR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.17–3.50, P = 0.01), but no other neuropsychiatric symptoms, remained independent predictor of delirium...
The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, while the right hemisphere controls the left side. If a person is experiencing a loss of function in the left side of the body, it is highly likely that the stroke is occurring in the right side of the brain. This is the reason...
without the use of clinical cut-offs. Four clusters were found to appropriately define the psychological conditions of stroke patients. These clusters were then assumed to represent a spectrum of symptoms and severity levels. Lesions in the right Rolandic operculum contributed to worse psychological con...
Recent evidence suggested that both early-onset PSDS and right basal ganglia infarction were predictive of future PSDS at chronic stage of stroke [11]. However, the direct association between lesion location and early-onset PSDS remains elusive. There is a growing recognition that some ...
Lesions can be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant), but not all lesions are tumors. For example, a stroke Tumors: Tumors can grow and press on other parts of the brain, potentially causing various symptoms depending on their location and size. Unlike some other types of lesions,...
