Background: The objective of this study was to examine the incidence of constipation and the risk factors for patients with ischemic stroke in acute and subacute stage.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with acute and subacute ischemic stroke in the Department of Rehabilitation, First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between 2019 and 2021 were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analysis were conducted using demographic characteristics, clinical evaluations, and stroke related complications, to explore the risk factors of constipation after stroke.
Results: Of the 222 patients with acute and subacute ischemic stroke, 128 (57.7 %) developed constipation. Univariate analysis revealed that pulmonary infection, NIHSS, ADL, KWST scores and nutritional status were significantly associated with post-stroke constipation (p < 0.05). Binomial logistic regression showed that NIHSS score is the independent risk factors of the poststroke constipation, and patients with NIHSS score >8.5 had higher risk for constipation.
Conclusions: Current findings suggested a significant interaction between constipation and NIHSS score in stroke patients, providing new insights into therapeutic target for neural functional recovery among patients with acute and sub-acute ischemic stroke.

Unlabelled: Greater empirical and scientific attention is still put on patients with left brain hemisphere (LBH) damage where language impairments are common and expected. In patients with RBH damage, language assessment is therefore rarely done in the acute phase of stroke recovery.
Purpose: To investigate language impairments in the acute phase of stroke using a Croatian standardized language battery for the first time and compare patients with RBH stroke, LBH stroke and healthy individuals.
Clinical feasibility of deep learning-driven magnetic resonance angiography collateral map in acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke.

To validate the clinical feasibility of deep learning-driven magnetic resonance angiography (DL-driven MRA) collateral map in acute ischemic stroke. We employed a 3D multitask regression and ordinal regression deep neural network, called as 3D-MROD-Net, to generate DL-driven MRA collateral maps. Two raters graded the collateral perfusion scores of both conventional and DL-driven MRA collateral maps and measured the grading time.

Background: Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is a major complication of stroke. However, data about the predictors of PSE in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing mechanical thrombectomy are limited.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between intraoperative angiographic signs and PSE risk in patients with anterior circulation AIS who underwent mechanical thrombectomy.
Cerebral blood volume index in the era of thrombectomy-treated large and medium vessel ischemic strokes.
J Neurointerv Surg

Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
The cerebral blood volume index (CBV index) is a perfusion-based marker of collateral status. Several real-world data analyses from observational stroke cohorts have established relationships between this parameter and a range of favorable and unfavorable stroke outcomes. In this review, an overview is provided of the CBV index, within the context of thrombectomy-treated large vessel and medium vessel occlusion ischemic strokes.
