Background: Determine if early venous filling (EVF) after complete successful recanalization with mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke is an independent predictor of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and integrate EVF into a risk score for sICH prediction.

Methods: Consecutive patients with anterior acute ischemic stroke treated by mechanical thrombectomy issued from patients enrolled in the THRACE trial (Thrombectomie des Artères Cérébrales) and from 2 prospective registries were included and divided into a derivation (Center I; n=402) and validation cohorts (THRACE and center 2; n=507). EVF was evaluated by 2 blinded readers. sICH was defined according to the modified European cooperative acute stroke study II. Clinical and radiological data were analyzed in the derivation cohort (C1) to identify independent predictors of sICH and construct a predictive score test on the validation cohort (THRACE + C2).

Results: Symptomatic ICH rate was similar between the two cohorts (9.9% and 8.9% respectively, =0.9). Time from onset-to-successful recanalization >270 minutes (odds ratio [OR], 7.8 [95% CI, 2.5-24]), Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (≤5 [OR, 2.49 (95% CI, 1.8-8.1) or 6-7 [OR, 1.15 (95% CI, 1.03-4.46)]), glucose blood level >7 mmol/L (OR, 2.92 [95% CI, 1.26-6.7]), and EVF presence (OR, 11.9 [95% CI, 3.8-37.5]) were independent predictors of sICH and constituted the Time-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT-Glycemia-EVF score. Time-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT-Glycemia-EVF score was associated with an increased risk of sICH in the derivation cohort (OR increase per unit, 1.99 [95% CI, 1.53-2.59]; <0.001) with area under the curve, 0.832 [95% CI, 0.767-0.898]. The score had good performance in the validation cohort (area under the curve, 0.801 [95% CI, 0.69-0.91]).

Conclusions: Time-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT-Glycemia-EVF score is a simple tool with readily available clinical variables with good performances for sICH prediction after mechanical thrombectomy.

Behçet's disease (BD) is a rare systemic vasculitis that is characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions. Although neurological involvement is a known complication, ischemic stroke remains uncommon. Herein, we report a 37-year-old Kuwaiti woman who experienced recurrent ischemic stroke with no traditional risk factors.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the levels of hematologic parameters in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) and to evaluate the use of Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in the differentiation of AIS and TIA.

Materials And Methods: Data and hematological results of patients admitted to the emergency department and diagnosed with AIS and TIA were compared retrospectively.

Results: The study included 36 TIA patients (M/F = 15/21) with a mean age of 64.

Background: Stroke remains one of the major non-communicable public health disease conditions with resultant high morbidity and mortality. Neuroimaging in the form of Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is adjudged to be the most reliable and efficient method of accurately diagnosing stroke and ruling out differentials. However, in view of cost implication and non-availability, a clinical scoring system known as the Siriraj Stroke Score (SSS) was developed to clinically differentiate stroke types, especially in resource-limited settings.

Surgical thrombectomy has been established as an effective treatment for acute limb ischemia (ALI). Nevertheless, manipulation via the common femoral artery (CFA) to retrieve thrombus in the infra-popliteal artery sometimes proves less effective. We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing surgical thrombectomy for infra-inguinal ALI from January 2010 to December 2022.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induces tissue hypoxia, resulting in disrupted energy metabolism and heightened oxidative stress. These factors contribute to tubular cell damage, which is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and can progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AKI.
