In-Hospital Versus Out-of-Hospital Stroke Onset Comparison of Process Metrics in a Community Primary Stroke Center.

Objective: To examine in-hospital stroke onset metrics and outcomes, quality of care, and mortality compared with out-of-hospital stroke in a single community-based primary stroke center.

Patients And Methods: Medical records of in-hospital stroke onset were compared with out-of-hospital stroke onset alert data between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2019. Time-sensitive stroke process metric data were collected for each incident stroke alert.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis Causing Transient Homonymous Hemianopia and Generalized Seizure: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Introduction: Neurologic complications of hyperglycemia are common. Cases of seizures and hemianopia related to nonketotic hyperglycemia have been reported but are rare with diabetic ketoacidosis.

Case Presentation: We present clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis associated with generalized seizure and homonymous hemianopia, with a literature review of reported cases.

In-Hospital Stroke Care: A Six-Year Community-Based Primary Stroke Center Experience.

Background And Purpose: In-hospital stroke-onset assessment and management present numerous challenges, especially in community hospitals. Comprehensive analysis of key stroke care metrics in community-based primary stroke centers is under-studied.

Methods: Medical records were reviewed for patients admitted to a community hospital for non-cerebrovascular indications and for whom a stroke alert was activated between 2013 and 2019.

Phase white matter signal abnormalities in patients with clinically isolated syndrome and other neurologic disorders.

Background And Purpose: Identifying MRI biomarkers that can differentiate multiple sclerosis patients from other neurological disorders is a subject of intense research. Our aim was to investigate phase WM signal abnormalities for their presence, prevalence, location, and diagnostic value among patients with clinically isolated syndrome and other neurologic disorders and age-, sex-, and group-matched healthy controls.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight patients with clinically isolated syndrome and 30 patients with other neurologic diseases and a healthy control group (n = 47) were included in the study.
