Diagnostic Yield of High-Resolution Vessel Wall Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Evaluation of Young Stroke Patients.

(1) Background: The mechanism responsible for stroke in patients younger than 50 often remains unknown. This study was designed to assess whether high-resolution intracranial vessel wall MR imaging (icVWI) may be instrumental in determining stroke cause. (2) Methods: Young stroke patients with and without an identified cause of stroke despite an exhaustive investigation were prospectively included.

Impact of high-resolution intracranial vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging on diagnosis in patients with embolic stroke of unknown source.

Background: The mechanism responsible for stroke in patients with embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS) often remains unknown despite extensive investigations. We aimed to test whether high-resolution intracranial vessel wall MR imaging (icVWI) can add to the diagnostic yield in these patients.

Patients And Methods: Patients with ESUS were prospectively included into an ongoing registry.

Characteristics of pediatric ocular trauma in a tertiary hospital in Israel 2011-2020 - How can public prevention policy be improved?

Purpose: To describe and analyze characteristics and trends of pediatric ocular trauma during 2011-2020.

Methods: Retrospective descriptive study. Data were collected on all pediatric ocular trauma cases that presented to a Rambam Health Care Campus during 2011-2020.

Effects of tumor type on outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke and cancer.

Background: Large vessel occlusions (LVO) stroke is associated with cancer. Whether this association differs among patients with LVO that undergo endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) according to cancer type remains unknown.

Patients And Methods: Data from consecutive patients that underwent EVT for LVO at three academic centers were pulled and analyzed retrospectively.

Does Malignancy Status Effect Outcomes in Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke and Cancer Who Underwent Endovascular Thrombectomy?

Background Cancer is associated with an increased risk of acute ischemic stroke, including large vessel occlusions. Whether cancer status affects outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusions that undergo endovascular thrombectomy remains unknown. Methods and Results All consecutive patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions were recruited into a prospective ongoing multicenter database, and the data were retrospectively analyzed.
