2nd Department of Neurology, Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology, Warsaw, Poland.
Introduction: The Registry of Stroke Care Quality (RES-Q) is used in Poland for quality monitoring by numerous hospitals participating in the Angels Initiative. Our aim was to assess the degree of improvement in highly stroke-oriented centres that report cases to the RES-Q each year.
Material And Methods: This retrospective analysis included Polish stroke units that from January 2017 to December 2020 contributed to the RES-Q at least 25 patients annually.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection may alter a stroke course; thus, we compared stroke course during subsequent pandemic waves in a stroke unit (SU) from a hospital located in a rural area. A retrospective study included all patients consecutively admitted to the SU between March 15 and May 31, 2020 ("first wave"), and between September 15 and November 30, 2020 ("second wave"). We compared demographic and clinical data, treatments, and outcomes of patients between the first and the second waves of the pandemic and between subjects with and without COVID-19.

This article constitutes a summary of the knowledge on the involvement of the nervous system in COVID-19, concerning its general pathobiology, clinical presentation and neuropathological features as well as the future directions of investigation. Variable definitions, selection bias, mainly retrospective analyses of hospitalized patients and different methodologies are implemented in the research of this new disease. Central nervous system (CNS) pathology presents most frequently features of non-specific neuroinflammation with microglial activation and lymphoid infiltrations, ischemic/hypoxic encephalopathy, acute cerebrovascular disease, and microthrombi.

Objective: To measure the global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of IV thrombolysis (IVT), IVT transfers, and stroke hospitalizations over 4 months at the height of the pandemic (March 1 to June 30, 2020) compared with 2 control 4-month periods.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study across 6 continents, 70 countries, and 457 stroke centers. Diagnoses were identified by their ICD-10 codes or classifications in stroke databases.
Cerebral Thrombolysis in Rural Residents Aged ≥ 80.
Clin Interv Aging
March 2021
Medical Simulation Center, Medical University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland.
Purpose: The proportion of older people in Poland is higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Thus, we aimed to evaluate treatment rate and factors associated with outcome and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in rural residents aged ≥80 years admitted to primary stroke centers.
Patients And Methods: This study was a retrospective, observational cohort study of 873 patients treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in primary stroke centers between February 1, 2009 and December 31, 2017.
Effect of IL-6 and hsCRP Serum Levels on Functional Prognosis in Stroke Patients Undergoing IV-Thrombolysis: Retrospective Analysis.

January 2021
Medical Stimulation Center, Medical University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland.
Purpose: We evaluated the relationship between pretreatment IL-6 and hsCRP levels, symptom severity and functional outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated with IV-thrombolysis.
Patients And Methods: IL-6 and hsCRP samples were obtained from 83 consecutively treated Caucasian patients with AIS prior to initiation of IV-thrombolysis. Severity of stroke symptoms was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), whereas functional outcome was assessed with modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

AbobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A, Dysport®) is used in clinical practice as a well-tolerated and effective therapy for muscle spasticity. AboBoNT-A has been shown to reduce upper and lower limb spastic paresis in clinical trials, demonstrating improvements in muscle tone and limb function. This open-label, multicentre, observational, non-interventional study was the first to investigate aboBoNT-A's efficacy in adult patients with upper limb spasticity (ULS) in routine clinical practice in Poland.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is common among patients with ischemic stroke (IS), however its impact on outcome after iv-thrombolysis has not been fully determined. Moreover, definition of HF has been recently modified, but majority of stroke studies classified patients regarding an old HF criteria. Thus, the aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between both, newly and formerly defined HF and the long-term outcome, mortality and the presence of hemorrhagic complications in patients with acute IS treated with iv-thrombolysis.

Background: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of mortality, especially in industrialised countries. In the case of detection of significant lesions narrowing the vessel lumen, management is guided by recommendations of international cardiac societies, while in the case of non-critical lesions there are some doubts as to the further prognosis and identification of patients in whom accelerated progression of disease can be expected.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of selected clinical and ultrasonographic indices in patients with non-critical lesions in coronary angiography.

Article Synopsis
- A cross-sectional study in the Swietokrzyskie Region of Poland aimed to gather comprehensive data on the incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) from 2010 to 2014.
- The study identified 1,462 confirmed MS patients, revealing a crude prevalence rate of 115.7 per 100,000, significantly higher in females (159.6) compared to males (69.7).
- The findings indicate that central Poland is a high-risk area for MS, with an increasing prevalence trend compared to previous studies.

Introduction: Patients with ischemic stroke undergoing intravenous (iv)-thrombolysis are routinely controlled with computed tomography on the second day to assess stroke evolution and hemorrhagic transformation (HT). However, the benefits of an additional computed tomography (aCT) performed over the next days after iv-thrombolysis have not been determined.
Methods: We retrospectively screened 287 Caucasian patients with ischemic stroke who were consecutively treated with iv-thrombolysis from 2008 to 2012.

Article Synopsis
- A study of 672 acute ischemic stroke patients in central Poland found that over 60% had metabolic syndrome (MetS), significantly higher than the 18.1% prevalence in a control group with other neurological disorders.
- MetS is defined by the presence of three out of five criteria, including obesity and hypertension, and was found to be 1.8 times more common in women than men.
- The research suggests that MetS, particularly driven by factors like hypertension and high triglycerides, may increase the risk of ischemic stroke.

Background: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is common in patients with acute ischemic stroke (IS); however, its impact on outcome after intravenous thrombolysis (iv-thrombolysis) remains unclear. Thus, we aimed at evaluating the relationship between MetS and functional long-term outcome, mortality, and the presence of hemorrhagic complications in patients with IS treated with iv-thrombolysis.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the demographic and clinical data of 535 Caucasian patients with acute IS who were consecutively treated with iv-thrombolysis from September 2006 to June 2013 in 2 experienced stroke centers in Poland.

We discuss the diagnosis of and efficacy 5-amino-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (5-ASA), Saccharomyces boulardii, or magnesium in therapy of microscopic colitis with presence of foamy macrophages. A basis for diagnosis and inclusion to the analysed group was presence of characteristic foamy macrophages in histopathological examination of hematoxylin and eosin-stained specimens collected from the large intestine, reviewed under ×200 or ×320 magnification. No statistically significant improvement was found following the use of 5-amino-2-dihydroxybenzoic acid in therapy of the disease.
