Motor Evoked Potentials in Predicting Recovery from Upper Extremity Paralysis after Acute StrokeCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 265-271 - 2003
Henk T. Hendricks, Jaco W. Pasman, Jacques van Limbeek, Machiel J. Zwarts
<i>Objective:</i> The use of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in predicting recovery after stroke still appears to be somehow equivocal. We assessed the prognostic value of MEPs with respect to arm and hand motor recovery in acute stroke patients. <i>Methods:</i> This cohort study included 43 consecutive acute stroke patients with complete paralysis of the upper extre...... hiện toàn bộ
Evolution of Atherosclerotic Carotid Plaque Morphology: Do Ulcerated Plaques Heal? A Serial Multidetector CT Angiography StudyCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 263-270 - 2011
Marjon J. van Gils, Philip J. Homburg, Sietske Rozie, Thomas T. de Weert, Diederik W.J. Dippel, Aad van der Lugt
<i>Background:</i> Atherosclerotic carotid plaque rupture may lead to thromboembolization, causing transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke. Carotid plaque ulceration on angiography is associated with plaque rupture. Although healing of ruptured plaques has been described in coronary arteries, little is known about the natural development of plaque ulcerations in carotid ar...... hiện toàn bộ
Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with a History of Myocardial Infarction and StrokeCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 31 Số 1 - Trang 68-76 - 2011

<i>Background:</i> There is a lack of the generic data comparing the influence of different diseases on health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in a representative sample of primary care patients. <i>Methods:</i> Patient data were collected in the DETECT (Diabetes Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation: Targets and Essential Data for Commitment of Treatment) study including ...... hiện toàn bộ
Endovascular Therapy of Acute Vertebrobasilar Occlusion: Early Treatment Onset as the Most Important FactorCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 42-50 - 2002
Bernd Eckert, Thomas Kucinski, G. Pfeiffer, Christoph Groden, H. Zeumer
In view of the poor prognosis for patients with acute intracranial vertebrobasilar occlusion (VBO), factors were sought that predict survival and good neurologic outcome after acute endovascular treatment by means of local intra-arterial fibrinolysis (LIF) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). LIF was performed in 83 patients with angiographically established acute VBO. A signif...... hiện toàn bộ
Long-Term Outcome after Anticoagulation-Associated Intracerebral Haemorrhage with or without Restarting Antithrombotic TherapyCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 36 Số 1 - Trang 33-37 - 2013
Celine S. Gathier, Ale Algra, Gabriël J.E. Rinkel, Martin M. Brown
<b><i>Background:</i></b> For patients who survive intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) during treatment with oral anticoagulation (OAC), the balance between the benefits and risks of restarting OAC is unclear. The decision to restart OAC or to start antiplatelet therapy in these patients therefore poses a dilemma for all physicians involved. We assessed the long-term ou...... hiện toàn bộ
Stroke-Associated Infection Is an Independent Risk Factor for Poor Outcome after Acute Ischemic Stroke: Data from the Netherlands Stroke SurveyCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 465-471 - 2009

<i>Background:</i> Infections are a common and serious threat to patients with acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of infection on mortality and functional outcome at discharge and at 1 year. <i>Methods:</i> From a consecutive cohort study in 11 centers, the Netherlands Stroke Survey, we selected 521 patients with ischemic stroke ad...... hiện toàn bộ
The Athens Stroke Registry: Results of a Five-Year Hospital-Based StudyCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 133-141 - 2000

The advent and wide application of new technology, especially noninvasive techniques, has enabled physicians to more completely investigate and clarify the etiopathogenic mechanisms of stroke. Such data have not been available until recently for Southeastern Europe. In addition, during the last decades, strategies for the modification of risk factors and primary prevention may have changed...... hiện toàn bộ
Direct Oral Anticoagulants for the Treatment of Cerebral Venous ThrombosisCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 48 Số 1-2 - Trang 32-37 - 2019
A. Lurkin, Laurent Derex, Alexandra Fambrini, Laurent Bertoletti, Magali Epinat, Patrick Mismetti, Yesim Dargaud
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon neurological condition usually treated with heparin followed by oral vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). In patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), compared to VKAs, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) offer several advantages. However, there is little data concerning their use in managing CVT. &...... hiện toàn bộ

Mali, Yolanda van der Graaf, Birgitta K. Velthuis
<b><i>Background:</i></b> CT angiography (CTA) and CT perfusion (CTP) are important diagnostic tools in acute ischemic stroke. We investigated the prognostic value of CTA and CTP for clinical outcome and determined whether they have additional prognostic value over patient characteristics and non-contrast CT (NCCT). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We ...... hiện toàn bộ
Blood Pressure, Smoking and Oral Contraceptive Control after Cryptogenic Stroke in Young Adults in the PFO-ASA StudyCerebrovascular Diseases - Tập 20 Số 1 - Trang 41-45 - 2005
Caroline Arquizan, Emmanuel Touzé, Thierry Moulin, France Woimant, Xavier Ducrocq, Jean‐Louis Mas
<i>Background:</i> Management of vascular risk factors is not optimal in stroke patients. We assessed the control of hypertension, smoking and stopping of oral contraceptive in 581 consecutive young cryptogenic ischemic stroke patients followed in the PFO-ASA study and we identified factors associated with inadequate management. <i>Methods:</i> At each follow-up vis...... hiện toàn bộ
