Nursing care for Mr J evolved around his actual and potential problems. The actual problems were: an alteration in comfort (chest pain) related to myocardial ischemia, decreased cardiac output related to reperfusion dysrhythmias, and knowledge deficit regarding treatment with thrombolytic therapy. The potential problems were: fluid volume deficit related to lysis of clots in the cerebral vasculature, and alteration in myocardial tissue perfusion related to reocclusion of the coronary artery. Objectives focused on relief of chest pain, prompt initiation of thrombolytic therapy, maintenance of hemodynamics and cardiac output with early interventions, prevention of bleeding and initiation of patient education.

Proteinuria's Influence on Clinical Outcomes and Prognostic Accuracy in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Patients Undergoing Reperfusion Therapy: A Comprehensive Meta-Analysis.
Nephrology (Carlton)
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Division of Cerebrovascular Medicine and Neurology, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCVC), Osaka, Japan.
Aim: Proteinuria commonly accompanies acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing reperfusion therapies such as intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Understanding its influence on outcomes is crucial for prognosis and optimising management strategies. This study aims to elucidate proteinuria's role in mediating outcomes among reperfusion-treated patients.

Article Synopsis
- Wernicke-Korsakoff encephalopathy, a condition caused by vitamin B1 deficiency, often affects alcoholics and is characterized by memory issues, eye movement problems, and coordination difficulties.
- A young male patient with a history of alcohol abuse presented with symptoms resembling a stroke, including right-sided weakness and language disturbances, complicating accurate diagnosis.
- Following treatment with intravenous vitamin B1, the patient ultimately made a full recovery, highlighting how this condition can mimic stroke symptoms and posing challenges in emergency medical settings.
Determining Outcomes in Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion and Mild Stroke Who Did or Did Not Receive Thrombolytics and/or Thrombectomy.
Neurologist
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Allentown, PA.
Objectives: The utility of thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy in patients with mild stroke and large vessel occlusion (LVO) remains inconclusive. This retrospective study compared short-term and long-term outcomes in patients treated with best medical therapy (BMT group) versus with intravenous thrombolytics and/or endovascular thrombectomy (intervention group).
Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), LVO, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) ≤5 were included.
Effect of intravenous urokinase vs best medicine treatment on functional outcome for patients with acute minor stroke (TRUST): a randomized controlled trial.
BMC Med
January 2025
Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Background: The benefits of intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute minor stroke remain controversial. For the aim of providing a better therapeutic strategy, high-quality trials are required to validate the efficacy of thrombolytic medicine other than intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen and tenecteplase. In the trial, we evaluate the efficacy and safety of urokinase (UK) in acute minor stroke.

Department of Neurology, Baotou Central Hospital, Baotou, China.
Background: To evaluate the prognostic effect of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute base artery occlusion (ABAO) within 24 h of onset, and analyze the factors related to prognosis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on all ABAO patients who received EVT within 24 h of onset in the neurology department of Baotou Central Hospital in Inner Mongolia from May 2016 to October 2022. Good prognosis was defined as a Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-3 and poor prognosis mRS score of 4-6 at 90 day follow-up, and factors related to prognosis were analyzed.
