Triage of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Due to Large Vessel Occlusions-1 (TRACK-LVO-1)
StrokeAcute Ischemic2 moreThe aim of this study is to establish an academic, real-world, single-center, observational registry of consecutive patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusions (LVO), treated with either endovascular therapy (EVT) or best medical management (BMM).
Respiratory Functions and Muscle Strength, Trunk Control, Functional Capacity and Independence in...
StrokeThe aim of this study was to invastigate the relationship between respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength with trunk control, functional capacity and functional independence in hemiplegic patients after stroke. In our study, 25 hemiplegic patients were included on a voluntary basis. Pulmonary function test (PFT) for respiratory functions, mouth pressure measurement (MIP: maximal ınspiratory pressure, MEP: maximal expiratory pressure) for respiratory muscle strenght. Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) for trunk control, and Time Up and Go Test (TUG) for functional capacity and Barthel Index (BI) for functional independence assessment were used.
Urdu Translation of Wayfinding Questionnaire for Stroke Patients
StrokeDescriptive analytical study to translate WQ in Urdu Language. The WQ is in English Language the name of the author of WQ is Van der Ham Et al and firstly introduced in 2013. The reliability of this English tool is 0.70 to 0.80 it has been translated in various Languages i.e Hungarian, Dutch and Chinese and suffering from stroke. But it was not translated in Urdu Language. No such study has been previously conducted in Pakistan region which translates the scale and follows the proper cross-cultural adaptation
Lesion Site and Neglect Anosognosia in Patients With Left Hemispatial Neglect
AnosognosiaNeglect3 moreThe goal of this retrospective is to investigate the relationship between lesion site and neglect anosognosia in subacute or chronic right hemispheric stroke patients with left hemispatial neglect. The main questions it aims to answer are: Was any lesion site related to a higher neglect anosognosia rate? Did any lesion site related to a more severe neglect anosognosia? Participants will be divided into two groups regarding the presence of anosognosia for spatial neglect. Researchers will compare patients with and without anosognosia to see if any lesion site resulted in a higher anosognosia rate and more severe unawareness of neglect symptoms in daily life.
Gender Heterogeneity in the Influencing Factors for Cerebral Microbleeds in Acute Ischemic Stroke...
Acute Ischemic StrokeThe investigators continuously collected data from 482 AIS inpatients at the Neurology Department of Hebei General Hospital. Both demographic and clinical data were collected from the study subjects. Different head magnetic resonance imaging sequences were used to assess the subjects' CMBs, white matter lesions, and old lacunar infarcts (LI). Various statistical methods, including the t-test, χ2 test, and logistic regression, were used to analyze the gender heterogeneity of the influencing factors for CMBs in AIS patients.
Alteplase in Elderly Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) Patients During Hospitalization
StrokeThe objective of the study is to find out the in-hospital clinical outcomes among Chinese Acute Ischaemic Stroke (AIS) patients, who were treated with intravenous (IV) Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (rt-PA) within 4.5 hours of symptom onset in different age groups (18 to 80 years and above 80 years).
Gingivitis and Periodontitis as a Risk Factor for Stroke
GingivitisPeriodontitis1 morePeriodontitis and gingivitis are one of the most infectious diseases in humans. Several studies have been carried out on the dependence of periodontitis and stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate gingivitis and periodontitis as risk factors for stroke in the Pakistani population.
Pushing Spatiotemporal Limits for 4D Flow MRI and Dynamic MRA in the Brain at Ultra-High Field
StrokeThis study aims at investigating the blood hemodynamics with high spatiotemporal resolution in patients with brain aneurysms and AVMs as well as in healthy controls. Parameters such as peak blood velocity, wall shear stress and other derived parameters will be obtained from 4D flow MRI data acquired at ultra-high field strength (7 Tesla).
Hospital Processes Reengineering of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke in China
Ischemic StrokeAdverse Effect of Thrombolytic Drugs1 morePROMISE is a prospective, nationwide, multicenter, longitudinal cohort study, focusing on hospital intravenous thrombolysis process reengineering for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). With a proposed "Reengineered Process Framework" for intravenous thrombolysis process by the PROMISE study steering committee, about 30 medical centers enters would be recruited nationwide, and each center would include consecutive AIS patients with an onset-to-door time (ODT) of less than 3.5 h. The investigators hypothesize that the proposed "Reengineered Process Framework" is suitable and feasible for hospitals in mainland of China; the rate of intravenous rt-PA thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients with an ODT of less than 3.5 h would be more than 20% or be increased by 40% as compared with baseline; the proportion of patients with a door-to-needle (DNT) time of less than 60 min would be more than 20%, or be with an increase by ≥ 40% as compared with baseline.
