Impact of number of passes and futile reperfusion in basilar artery occlusion acute ischaemic stroke Open
Introduction: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard of care in anterior circulation large vessel occlusion. A vital modifiable factor is successful reperfusion. While multiple passes improve the rates of successful reperfusion, prev…
Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulant Dabigatran as a Bridging Therapy while Optimizing Warfarin Dosage for Cardioembolic Stroke Open
Introduction: Parenteral heparin is widely used as bridging therapy while optimizing oral anticoagulation (OAC). Newer direct-acting OACs (DOACs) attain therapeutic effect very quickly. We report the use of dabigatran as bridging therapy d…
Sonothrombolysis for Ischemic Stroke Open
Stroke is a major cause of death and disability globally, with ischemic stroke being the predominant mechanism. While spontaneous recanalization may occur, significant neuronal injury would have occurred in the interim. Intravenous thrombo…

Potential Embolic Sources in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source Patients with Patent Foramen Ovale Open
Introduction: A patent foramen ovale (PFO) may coexist with other potential embolic sources (PESs) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), leading to difficulty in attributing the stroke to either the PFO or other PE…
Neutrophil-Lymphocyte and Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratios Are Associated with Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source Open
Many researchers have hypothesized that occult atrial fibrillation (AF) could be an etiological factor for embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), since AF is often diagnosed after extended monitoring. 1 However, studies investigatin…
Age and Proficiency in the Bilingual Brain Revisited: Activation Patterns Across Different L2-Learner Types Open
Second language (L2) proficiency and age of acquisition (AoA) are important when examining L2 neural representation. However, they are potential confounds of each other and their relative importance remains unclear. How L2 was learnt (info…
