Background: Telestroke assessments are widely used to remotely assess adults with suspected stroke, although they have not been studied in children. SPOT, the Study of Performing the PedNIHSS Over Televideo, tested the feasibility of assessing the Pediatric National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (PedNIHSS) by televideo in children.

Methods: Children aged 2 to 17 years with and without strokes were recruited and examined in the outpatient neurology clinic.

Over a third of minor stroke patients experience post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), but no validated tools exist to identify at-risk patients early. This study investigated whether disconnection features derived from infarcts and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) could serve as markers for short- and long-term cognitive decline in first-ever minor ischemic stroke patients. First-ever minor ischemic stroke patients (NIHSS ≤ 7) were prospectively followed at 72-h, 6 months, and 36 months post-stroke with cognitive tests and brain MRI.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) induces the expression of unidentified protective cytokines that mitigate lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI). This study hypothesizes that MOTS-c, a mitokine with potent protective effects against mitochondrial damage, contributes to RIPC-mediated protection by alleviating endothelial barrier dysfunction. In human lung transplantation patients, serum levels of MOTS-c significantly decreased following IR injury but were markedly increased when RIPC was performed prior to transplantation.

The Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations (CSPR) 7th edition includes this new module on the diagnosis and management of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) with or without neurodegenerative disease. An expert writing group and people with VCI lived experience (PWLE) reviewed current evidence. Existing recommendations were reviewed and revised, and new recommendations added.
