Symmetrical weight-bearing is essential for restoring mobility functions following stroke. Strategies to improve symmetrical weight-bearing remain a challenge in stroke rehabilitation. Objective To explore the evidence regarding the effectiveness of weight-bearing interventions to improve physical performance among subjects with stroke. Methods Five databases, including PubMed, Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Google Scholar, and OpenGrey, were screened for identifying published and unpublished studies from their inception and up to 2022. Studies investigating the effect of symmetrical weight-bearing interventions among stroke subjects using objective or self-reporting of physical function as an outcome tool were included. Ten articles with grade 1b level of evidence demonstrated an average PEDro score of 6.4. The risk of bias was moderate among the articles. Results Ten articles with 276 participants were included in this review. Meta-analysis performed using 9 articles report that gait-specific weight-bearing improved balance and gait velocity with an overall effect size of 1.35 (95% confidence interval: 0.88–1.81) and 0.66 (95% confidence interval: 0.20–1.13). However, the effect size of step length (0.51), cadence (0.26), and fall efficacy scale (0.21) indicates nonsignificant improvement. Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that gait-specific weight-bearing strategies are effective in improving balance and speed of walking but did not improve other parameters of gait and risk of fall. These strategies could be used to improve the symmetrical weight-bearing of stroke subjects in rehabilitation settings who do not have access to technological assistance in rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":93323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of stroke medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80605168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to identify the risk factors and assess the long-term functional outcome in patients with malignant stroke undergoing DC. Methods: We conducted an ambispective study on patients (>18 years) undergoing DC between January 2016 and January 2019. Demographic data, stroke risk factors, clinical characteristics, and serial imaging findings were collected. We measured the functional outcomes using the National Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), modified Ranking Scale (mRS), and Barthel index (BI) at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. We did univariate and multivariate regression analyses for the independent variables and outcomes. Results: On admission, the 93 patients (70 males) had a mean GCS of 11.77 (standard deviation [SD]: 2.90) and a mean NIHSS score of 13.65 (SD: 4.41). Diabetes (odds ratio [OR]: 1.76; 0.67-4.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]) and ischemic heart disease (OR: 4.50; 1.44-14.07, 95% CI) showed a positive correlation with the outcome. Forty patients underwent surgery within 48 h of stroke onset, while 53 patients were operated on after 48 h. Twenty-two (23.66%) patients died during the study period, and 55 patients (59.14%) had an mRS score <2 one year after the stroke. Conclusions: DC can produce favorable outcomes in patients with malignant strokes, and early aggressive intervention helps improve the prognosis and quality of life.

A large portion of patients had large vessel occlusion (LVO) which increases the risk of malignant cerebral infarction requiring decompressive craniectomy. The impact of COVID-19, however, on decompressive craniectomy is not well described. Through this study, we aim to study the impact of decompressive craniectomy in COVID-19 patients presented to our tertiary care hospital. Material and methods Data of all acute ischemic stroke patients who tested COVID positive during the study period was collected. From among them, patients requiring decompressive craniectomy were included. The demographic, clinico-radiological parameters related to stroke, treatment received, outcome and complications were noted. In addition, data from all case reports and case series published on patients with COVID-19, who had developed ischemic stroke and underwent decompression craniectomy was collected and systematically reviewed. Results Twenty-seven stroke patients tested positive for COVID-19 infection, out of whom five patients underwent decompression hemicraniectomy in view of neurologic deterioration. The review of literature yielded 453 abstracts. After reading the full text of 69 articles, 12 studies on 15 patients finally met our inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. The mortality rate was 40% among stroke patients requiring decompressive craniectomy in COVID-19 patients. The mortality rate and functional outcomes of this cohort are comparable to the pre-pandemic period. Conclusion Decompressive craniectomy is a life-saving procedure in COVID-19 patients with malignant infarctions similar to patients in the pre-COVID-19 era.","PeriodicalId":93323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of stroke medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88593080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tenecteplase has been approved in India as a newer thrombolytic, in acute ischemic stroke, since 2016. Very few studies have been reported to know the efficacy of Tenecteplase in AIS compared to alteplase. Aim: This study was done to understand the efficacy and related complications of Tenecteplase in AIS. Methods: In this prospective study, we took 112 people with AIS who received Tenecteplase, admitted between August 2018 and August 2020. After obtaining ethical approval, we tabulated patients’ data and did the statistical analysis using an unpaired t test, Analysis of Variance, and chi-square test. A P value of <.05 using a 2-tailed test was considered significant for all statistical analyses. Results: Out of 112 patients, 67.9% were male and 32.1% were female, with a mean age of 60.7 years. We classified stroke by using the TOAST classification. About 62.5% are classified as large atherosclerotic type, 14.3% cardioembolic, and 17.0% lacunar strokes. A total of 82.1% had a middle cerebral artery region stroke. The mean door to needle time was 76.7 min with a standard deviation of 33.3. The primary outcome was met in 47.3%, and the secondary result was achieved in 59.8%. Intracerebral hematoma was the most commonly observed complication.

When a definitive etiology could not be identified, it may rarely be related to a reperfusion injury. Such unexplained neurological deficits are often associated with the presence of cord signal changes on imaging. It is assumed to result from ischemia-reperfusion injury and is often designated as “white cord syndrome” due to its imaging appearance. Such a diagnosis is made after excluding other differentials. Outcomes are variable based on the current literature. We report a patient with possible white cord syndrome following decompression and excision of cervicodorsal osteochondroma. Case Description: In this case report, we present a young patient who was admitted with slowly progressive paraplegia, and initial imaging showed C7-D1 pedunculated osteochondroma. He underwent an uneventful spinal laminectomy accompanied by tumor excision. In the immediate postoperative period, the patient became paraplegic and a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging was taken. It showed re-expansion of cord in the region of compression by the mass lesion at C7-D1 level with interval abnormal T2/IR hyper intensity extending from C6 to D1 levels. Conclusion: White cord syndrome is an extremely rare condition. It is postulated to be caused by reperfusion injury to the cord within areas of chronic ischemia due to compressive causes.

NLR is low cost and yet not used widely as a biomarker to predict prognosis. Aims: We evaluated the association of NLR in severity of stroke and ischemic stroke subtypes. Methodology: A total of 69 subjects with ischemic stroke onset within 24 h were included in the study and categorized according to TOAST classification. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was used to determine stroke severity at admission. Samples were obtained within 24 h of stroke onset and NLR measured which was later correlated with severity and subtypes of stroke. Results: NLR and severity of stroke showed statistically significant association (P < .05). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) of NLR was significantly high in severe cases (7.1 [4.03-7.698]), as compared to others. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for NLR to predict the stroke severity was 6.07 [area under the curve 0.764; 95% confidence interval: 0.647 to 0.858). When NLR was more than 6.07, there was 90.90% chances of moderate-to-severe stroke and with milder stroke, 93.10% had NLR of less than equal to 6.07. NLR and stroke subtypes also showed statistically significant association (P < .05). Median (IQR) of NLR in embolic stroke was significantly high (4.75 [2.95-8.2]), as compared to other stroke subtypes. Conclusion: NLR, at a cut-off 6, has moderate sensitivity and higher specificity in predicting stroke severity and NLR was high in embolic stroke among other stroke subtypes.","PeriodicalId":93323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of stroke medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89111010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We reported four patients with severe COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome where stroke was diagnosed following neuroimaging. All the patients were on ventilatory assistance and supportive treatment when stroke was diagnosed. They had received sedation and paralytics during mechanical ventilation. Poor response to stimulation and nonresponsiveness after wearing off sedation prompted neuroimaging in these patients, which revealed stroke.
