Single-step Optimization in Triaging Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes: Identifying Factors to Improve Door-to-groin Time for Endovascular Therapy Open
Pre-transfer computed tomography angiography was the only significant predictor of achieving target door-to-groin times of less than 60 minutes. Because DTG time has been well established as a predictor of clinical outcomes, including pre-…

Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation in Large Vessel Occlusion and Large Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source Open
Nearly half the patients with LVO stroke who received endovascular thrombectomy were found to have AF. With the use of extended cardiac monitoring devices after hospitalization, AF is frequently discovered in patients with LESUS and may ch…

Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index (SII) for the Differential Diagnosis of CT-Negative Mild Acute Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack Open
Background: A number of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) cases may be misdiagnosed as transient ischemic attack (TIA), due to no infarct on initial computed tomography scan and/or mild deficits upon presentation. Several studies have found that…

EFFECTIVENESS OF A STRENGTHS-BASED LEADERSHIP COACHING PROGRAM FOR WOMEN Open
Strengths-based coaching has emerged in past decades as an asset-based approach that can help individuals identify, harness, and leverage their strengths to achieve professional and personal goals. This paper shares the design and outcomes…

A Case for the Non-Neurologist Telestroke Provider Open
Introduction: Telestroke networks have effectively increased the number of ischemic stroke patients who have access to acute stroke therapy. However, the availability of a dedicated group of stroke subspecialists is not always feasible. We…

Lateral Heterotaxy Syndrome in a Newborn Caucasian Male Open
Heterotaxy syndrome is a varied spectrum of rearrangements of thoracic and abdominal organs that present many unique complications. Among all congenital deformities, heterotaxy syndrome is rare although this is likely an underestimate with…

Utilization of a Parental Approach to Informed Consent in Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Administration Decision-Making: Patient Preference and Ethical Considerations Open
Objective . While administration of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) is the standard of care in acute ischemic stroke and has been shown to have statistically significant benefit, there can also be potentially life-threate…

Paraneoplastic Opsoclonus Myoclonus in a Patient with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Open
Opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is an extremely rare neurological syndrome typically affecting as few as 1 in 10,000,000 people annually. OMS is characterized by the presence of involuntary, saccadic eye movements, as well as ataxia, i…

Standard carotid endarterectomy versus carotid artery stenting with closed-cell stent design and distal embolic protection: does the age matter? Open
Carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA) is considered the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid disease. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a less invasive approach and therefore could be considered a viable alterna…

Peripheral blood AKAP7 expression as an early marker for lymphocyte-mediated post-stroke blood brain barrier disruption Open
Our group recently identified 16 genes whose peripheral blood expression levels are differentially regulated in acute ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the early expression levels of any of these 16 genes …
