This project implemented the Stroke 1-2-0 stroke awareness programme across China and investigated its impact over a 2-year period. We initiated the Stroke 1-2-0 educational campaign and Stroke 1-2-0 special task forces (STF) across the nation. Massive media coverage, community-based educational sessions with videos and other related materials and induction of Stroke 1-2-0 STF were the major means of promotion. We delivered a survey at the end of 2016 and 2018 to evaluate the impact of our effort. A total of 3066 participants responded to the first survey in 2016, and 15 207 participants responded in 2018 across China. The acceptance rate for Stroke 1-2-0 versus FAST (an English-language stroke awareness tool) was 50.2% versus 19.1% in 2016, and changed significantly to 82.2% versus 8.0% in 2018 (p<0.001). Stroke 1-2-0 was well accepted by all ages and by people with different academic qualifications. Only 6.5% of survey respondents were aware that there was a therapeutic window for thrombolytic therapy in 2016, but this awareness increased significantly to 32.8% in 2018. Only 12.6% of people in 2016 indicated that they would send patients with stroke to the nearest hospital capable of performing thrombolytic therapy, but there was a nearly threefold increase (52.5%) in this number by 2018. More than 1000 major hospitals joined the Stroke 1-2-0 STF, and more than 20 000 'stroke warriors' have joined our stroke awareness improvement effort so far. Stroke 1-2-0 stroke awareness programme is well-implemented and accepted, and is generating profound improvement in stroke awareness in China.

Post-Carotid Artery Stenting Hyperperfusion Syndrome in a Hypotensive Patient: Case Report and Systematic Review of Literature.
Life (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Vascular Neurology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Zaloška cesta 2, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Article Synopsis
- - Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a serious complication that can occur after carotid artery stenting (CAS), primarily in normotensive patients, and is linked to factors like recent carotid stenosis and hemodynamic instability.
- - A systematic literature review revealed a CHS prevalence of 1.2% after CAS and highlighted that while some risk factors are identified, isolated hypotension has not been conclusively linked to CHS development.
- - Although mortality rates from intracranial hemorrhage post-CAS can be high, cases of CHS generally have a better prognosis, suggesting that a more nuanced understanding and further research are necessary for effective diagnosis and management.
Biological validation of peak-width of skeletonized mean diffusivity as a VCID biomarker: The MarkVCID Consortium.
Alzheimers Dement

Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's & Neurodegenerative Diseases, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Background: Peak-width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD), a neuroimaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), has shown excellent instrumental properties. Here, we extend our work to perform a biological validation of PSMD.
Methods: We included 396 participants from the Biomarkers for Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (MarkVCID-1) Consortium and three replication samples (Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology = 6172, Rush University Medical Center = 287, University of California Davis Alzheimer's Disease Research Center = 567).
