To increase the comprehension about the profound effects of hyperglycemia within the first 48 hours poststroke on the outcomes of acute ischemic stroke, the authors reviewed multiple studies and literature reviews. Research supports the detrimental effects of hyperglycemia on the morbidity and mortality of patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke. The studies that were examined revealed that although further research is necessary, controlling hyperglycemia is overall beneficial to support superior clinical outcomes. The purpose of this article was to discuss the importance of not only glucose control but also the vital role of nurses in controlling glucose levels efficiently and immediately during the first 48 hours poststroke.

Impact of white matter hyperintensity location on outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients: a lesion-symptom mapping study.
Brain Imaging Behav
January 2025
Department of Radiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, 400016, China.
Background: Studies on the impact of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) on function outcome have primarily concentrated on WMH volume, overlooking the potential significance of WMH location. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between WMH location and outcome in patients with their first-ever acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Methods: Patients who underwent their first AIS between September 2021 and September 2022 were recruited.

Objective: To comprehensively explore the prognostic significance of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3D STE) parameters in AIS and their role in distinguishing cardioembolic stroke.
Methods: 301 acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients were enrolled. TTE and 3D STE were employed to evaluate cardiac function and structure, also left atrial strain.

University of Foggia, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Foggia, Italy. Electronic address:
Background: It is crucial to distinguish type-1 myocardial infarction (T1MI) from type-2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) at admission and during hospitalization to avoid unnecessary invasive exams and inappropriate admissions to the acute cardiac care unit.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to define a simple profile derived from commonly used biomarkers to differentiate T1MI from T2MI.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled in an observational study 213 iconsecutive patients with a provisional diagnosis of non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) admitted to the Cardiology Department.
