Clin Neurol Neurosurg
July 2024
Background And Purpose: Basilar artery stenting is a rescue therapy in the management of hyperacute stroke. Published data on efficacy and safety are limited.
Methods: A systematic review of published studies was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding the causes of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) by investigating the prevalence of aortic arch atherosclerosis (AAA) using CT angiography (CTA).
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,063 stroke patients, finding that those with ESUS had thicker aortic plaques and higher rates of ulcerated or protruding plaques compared to non-ESUS patients.
- The findings suggest that specific plaque features in ESUS patients could help identify potential management strategies to improve treatment outcomes.
Background And Purpose: The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is widely used in clinical practice to evaluate stroke-related neurological deficits. The aim of this study was to develop Kannada language version of the NIHSS (Ka-NIHSS) and determine its validity and reliability.
Materials And Methods: In the first phase of the study, Ka-NIHSS was adapted based on cultural and linguistic peculiarities.
