Mechanical thrombectomy is now the standard treatment for acute ischaemic stroke with occlusion of a carotid or intercranial artery. With occlusions of this type, thrombolytic treatment often has limited effect. The therapeutic outcome with the use of thrombectomy is time-dependent, and a personalised approach to indication is always necessary. To achieve the best possible results, the main prerequisites are good clinical procedures, an optimal patient pathway, high neuroradiological competence and coordinated, interdisciplinary teams.

Background: Correct identification of those patients presenting with an acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) or an acute imbalance syndrome (AIS) that have underlying posterior-circulation stroke (PCS) and thus may benefit from revascularization (intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), endovascular therapy (EVT)) is important. Treatment guidelines for AVS/AIS patients are lacking. We reviewed the evidence on acute treatment strategies in AVS/AIS focusing on predictors for IVT/EVT and outcome.

Department of Neurology, Kailuan General Hospital, No. 57 Xinhua East Road, Lubei District, Tangshan City, 063000, Hebei Province, China.

This study aims to evaluate cognitive impairments in patients with acute cerebellar infarction using event-related potentials (ERP) and electrophysiological source imaging (ESI). Thirty patients with acute cerebellar infarction and 32 healthy volunteers were selected. Cognitive potentials were recorded and measured using a visual Oddball paradigm.

Background: The link between stroke and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is recognized. However, the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. This study seeks to determine if increased AD risk is linked to gut dysbiosis caused by acute ischemic stroke.

Background: Our studies show that the small non-coding RNA, mir20a-3p, is neuroprotective for stroke in the acute phase and also attenuates long term cognitive decline in middle-aged female rats. Cognitive decline due to vascular diseases, such as stroke, is associated with secondary neurodegeneration in cortex and limbic structures. In this study, we assessed the volume of white matter, ventricles and regional diffusion-weighted MR imaging measures to delineate pathological tissue characteristics from the postmortem brain of stroke rats.
