Time of the day and season distribution among stroke code subtypes: differences between ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and stroke mimic.
Front Neurol
March 2024
Background: Circadian variations in the timing of the onset of stroke symptoms have been described, showing a morning excess of cardiovascular risk. To date, no differences have been found between stroke subtype and time distribution throughout the day. The present study aims to compare the seasonal and circadian rhythm of symptoms onset in ischemic, hemorrhagic, and stroke mimic patients.

The aim of this study was to analyze possible associations between demographic, clinical, and electroencephalographic variables and epilepsy development in patients with acute symptomatic seizure due to an acute structural brain lesion.
Methods: We designed an observational prospective study of patients with acute symptomatic seizure due to an acute structural brain lesion (hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, or meningoencephalitis) who underwent EEG during their initial admission between January 2015 and January 2020.
Background And Objectives: COVID-19-related inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulopathy may increase the bleeding risk and lower the efficacy of revascularization treatments in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to evaluate the safety and outcomes of revascularization treatments in patients with AIS and COVID-19.
Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter cohort study of consecutive patients with AIS receiving intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and/or endovascular treatment (EVT) between March 2020 and June 2021 tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection.
