This prospective study of 271 stroke patients examined the relationship between telomere length (a cellular aging marker) and neurological disability measured by standardized clinical scales (NIHSS and mRS). Shorter telomeres were associated with higher stroke severity scores in ischemic stroke patients, both at emergency department admission and one day later.
This review examines the use of electromagnetic field therapies (including transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, and pulsed electromagnetic fields) as adjunctive rehabilitation approaches for stroke patients beyond conventional thrombolytic and thrombectomy interventions. The paper discusses the physical principles, molecular mechanisms, and evidence from preclinical and clinical studies supporting EMF applications in functional recovery and stroke monitoring.
This meta-analysis of 45 audits covering 1.18 million stroke patients found that 81.1% received antithrombotic therapy within 48 hours, falling below the 85% quality benchmark established by stroke care guidelines. Treatment delivery rates were comparable between high-income and low-to-middle-income countries, with improvements noted in studies published after 2008.
This study compares stroke diagnostic and secondary prevention recommendations between American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) and European Stroke Organization (ESO) guidelines, analyzing 63 ESO and 82 AHA/ASA recommendations across 7 key topics. While most recommendations are similar, the guidelines assign different levels of evidence quality to many recommendations, with notable discrepancies in high-level evidence classifications.
This retrospective study of 742 patients with carotid atherosclerosis found that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is independently associated with increased risk of recurrent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack during follow-up. A combined predictive model incorporating NAFLD status, clinical variables, and carotid plaque characteristics demonstrated superior performance in identifying high-risk patients for secondary stroke events.
