Parhizkar and Holtzman discuss how sleep disturbances may serve as both an early indicator and potential driver of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in Alzheimer’s, while reviewing mechanisms underlying sleep’s protective role and its potential to mitigate neurodegeneration and cognitive decline.

Mashup Score: 3Optimal Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Carotid Artery Stenting: A Nationwide Cohort Study | Stroke - 9 day(s) ago
BACKGROUND: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an alternative treatment for patients with carotid artery stenosis who are not eligible for carotid endarterectomy. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after CAS aims to prevent ischemic stroke. However, its optimal duration remains unclear. We aimed to determine the optimal duration of DAPT by identifying the differences in clinical events that occur depending on the DAPT maintenance period. METHODS: Data were obtained from the nationwide database of the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service between 2007 and 2019. Patients who received CAS, as identified by procedure codes, were divided into 2 groups according to the duration of DAPT (aspirin and clopidogrel): those who maintained DAPT for at least 90 days but for <6 months (short-DAPT group) and those who maintained it for longer (long-DAPT group). The primary outcome was a composite of ischemic stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage within 12 months of

urgical side often being disrupted, there is recruitment of collaterals from the contralateral MMA tree to the ipsilateral cSDH membranes. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the ability of additive contralateral liquid embolic (LE) injection after ipsilateral surgery to augment MMA embolization. We hypothesized that contralateral LE injection may provide additional MMA embolization to the affected ipsilateral side and increase response to treatment. METHODS: Consecutive cases of unilateral cSDH surgery with ipsilateral MMA embolization and additive contralateral LE injection were retrospectively identified from a prospectively maintained database of the senior authors. RESULTS: Over the study period, 26 consecutive cases of recurrent cSDH after unilateral surgery were identified. There was an average age of 73 ± 2.7 years (range 27-90 years), and 14 patients (54%) were female. All 26 patients (100%) had previous burr holes or a craniotomy. The average cSDH thickness after surgery

Variations in performance of structured modified Rankin Scale (mRS) questionnaires in people with stroke within different cultural and language settings have not been systematically assessed. We systematically reviewed all studies of structured mRS questionnaires compared to in-person unstructured mRS evaluation scores.

Mashup Score: 0Survey on Neurological Monitoring Practices and Clinician Perspectives in Acute Stroke Care - 25 day(s) ago
Acute stroke services provide specialist multidisciplinary care for diagnosis, treatments, and prevention of complications1. Prevention and management of complications, through organised and standardised processes of care, is known to improve patient outcomes2. One key complication after stroke is early neurological deterioration (END), which is the worsening of symptoms in the initial hours or days irrespective of cause. Occurrence of END after stroke has been reported to be between 5-40% in the first 24 hours3.
