Background: The purpose of this study is to share our experience in changing hospital strategies to achieve rapid thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients in 2 university stroke centers. Rapid reperfusion by shortening door to needle time (DTN) reduces morbidity and mortality for patients with AIS. Our aim is to evaluate the effect of applying certain logistic strategies to reduce DTN for thrombolysis and its impact on clinical outcome.

Objectives: Studying concepts behind epilepsy among Egyptian epilepsy sufferers including beliefs behind epilepsy and whether there is difference in these beliefs as regards gender, education and urban to rural socioeconomic status.
Background: High-quality data on time of stroke onset and time of hospital arrival is required for proper evaluation of points of delay that might hinder access to medical care after the onset of stroke symptoms.
Purpose: Based on (SITS Dataset) in Egyptian stroke patients, we aimed to explore factors related to time of onset versus time of hospital arrival for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Material And Methods: We included 1,450 AIS patients from two stroke centers of Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: Egypt is a densely populated country with living habits and health care services that differ from urban to rural regions. We aimed to study how characteristics of stroke vary among these regions.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study of ischemic stroke, thus hemorrhagic and venous strokes were excluded.
