Evaluation of IL-33 in Patients With the Acute Ischemic Stroke

Ischemic Stroke

Aim of the study is to evaluate the usefulness of interleukin 33 in the blood plasma in patients with the acute ischemic stroke of the brain in relation to mode of treatment (thrombolysis, thrombectomy, no treatment), risk factors in correlation with other inflammatory state markers (hsCRP, morphology with smear ). Blood is collected on the first and seventh days of stroke. The purpose is to clarify utility of IL 33 as a biomarker of acute stroke.

Post-stroke Immunological Changes in Young Stroke Patients

StrokeIschemic1 more

In the present study, the investigators aim to elucidate the role of T-cells on cognitive decline in younger stroke patients, using repeated cognitive testing, brain imaging, and immunological analyses in the first 6 month after stroke. The examiners will investigate (i) the extent and duration of stroke-induced changes in T cell function within the peripheral blood of patients; and (ii) post-stroke cognitive functions.

Extracranial Carotid & Intracranial Arterial Stenosis in Ischemic Stroke

Ischemic StrokeCarotid Stenosis

The aim of the work is to; elucidate how the presence of carotid stenosis influence the pattern of stroke and also how it interact with other risk factors for stroke. Also identify predictors of intracranial stenosis and outcome in patients with carotid stenosis with or without intracranial stenosis.

Ischemic Stroke in Chinese Young Adults

Ischemic Stroke

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of disability. However, in China, stroke is one of the most frequent causes of death and chronic disability. Ischemic strokes in adults younger than 45 years of age were regarded as a relatively uncommon event in the proportion of <5% of all ischemic strokes.

Superficial Siderosis in Patients With Suspected Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Intracerebral HemorrhageCerebral Amyloid Angiopathy1 more

Aim of the SuSPect-CAA study is to prospectively evaluate the prognostic significance of cortical superficial siderosis in patients with suspected cerebral amyloid angiopathy with a primary focus on future stroke and mortality.

Extended Rhythm SCreening for AtRial Fibrillation in Cryptogenic Stroke Patients

Atrial FibrillationStroke

Recent studies demonstrated that prolonged rhythm observation increases the detection of atrial fibrillation in patients prior diagnosed as cryptogenic stroke. Detection of atrial fibrillation in these patients has important therapeutic implications for the anticoagulation regimen. However, data on optimal monitoring duration and method of AF detection are limited.

Cranial Temperature Early Diagnose Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke

Ischemic StrokeHemorrhagic Stroke

The cerebrovascular diseases can be approximately divided as two types, namely ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Intravenous thrombolysis within 3-4.5 hours is highly recommended for acute ischemic stroke patients. But it's difficult to diagnose the ischemic stroke with the hemorrhagic stroke from the early symptoms and signs. It's with high risk of enlarging the hematoma if the patients with hemorrhagic stroke received the thrombolytic drugs. And time cost by CT or MRI examination is likely to responsible for missing the narrow time window and poor prognosis of stroke patients. Consequently, seeking for a noninvasive, rapid, portable and inexpensive diagnosis method which can sensitively distinguish the stroke type before CT or MRI examination would be very helpful in treating the ischemic stroke patients. Because of the blockage in the cerebral supply artery, the heat from circulatory system will sharply decrease in infracted hemisphere among the ischemic stroke patients. The reduced brain temperature influenced the temperature on the ipsilateral forehead according to the data of our animal and preliminary clinical trial. In contrast, the temperature of the ipsilateral hemisphere showed a mild increase among the ischemic stroke patients in our preliminary experiment. The difference of the temperature tendency on the ipsilateral forehead has a great chance to be an early physical mark. In our study, 30 ischemic stroke patients and 30 hemorrhagic stroke patients will be recruited. In the process of recruitment, the patients with acute stroke attack in no more than 4.5 hours will be collected the temperature at the five point without head coverage, including ipsilateral tempora, ipsilateral forehead, galbella, contralateral forehead, and contralateral tempora. Then the stroke would be recruited into the ischemic and hemorrhagic group according to the later CT or MRI results in the hospital. The accuracy and sensibility of early brain temperature in distinguishing stroke type would be tested in comparison with the diagnosis of imaging examination.

Perfusion Computer Tomography: Imaging and Clinical Validation Following Reperfusion Therapy in...

Ischemic Stroke

CT perfusion (CTP) of the brain is an innovative technique to identify rapidly regions which are only partially or insufficiently perfused during an acute ischemic event. The differentiation between the core infarct and the still viable penumbra is its major clinical application. CTP helps directly in the decision-making process in the event of acute ischemic stroke by increasing the potential of success in patient who can benefit from thrombolytic/endovascular treatment. The use of CTP in patient selection for thrombolytic/endovascular treatment was never evaluated in a prospective randomized study. Yet, clinical experience well demonstrated a good correlation between the size of the penumbra and the clinical outcome when done in early as well as late stages of the event. The importance of identifying the penumbra in the acute phase of the ischemic stroke is widely accepted. But crucial evidence to support the predictive value of CTP to predict the clinical and anatomical/structural outcomes in the late phases (90 days after) is lacking. Currently, the use of CTP is based on theoretical assumptions and expert opinions but a randomized prospective study to validate its use is lacking. The current guidelines restrict the use of CTP trials and to patients that can't performed MRI scan.
