Multivariate lesion symptom mapping for predicting trajectories of recovery from aphasia Open
Individuals with post-stroke aphasia tend to recover their language to some extent; however, it remains challenging to reliably predict the nature and extent of recovery that will occur in the long term. The aim of this study was to quanti…

Recovery from aphasia in the first year after stroke Open
Most individuals who experience aphasia after a stroke recover to some extent, with the majority of gains taking place in the first year. The nature and time course of this recovery process is only partially understood, especially its depe…

Intravenous Fibrinolysis for Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Open
Background and Purpose: Central retinal artery occlusion results in sudden, painless, usually permanent loss of vision in the affected eye. There is no proven, effective treatment to salvage visual acuity and a clear, unmet need for an eff…

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Patients With Ischemic Stroke With Prestroke Disability Open
Background and Purpose— We aimed to compare functional and procedural outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke with none-to-minimal (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score, 0–1) and moderate (mRS score, 2–3) prestroke disability treated …

Patterns of Recovery From Aphasia in the First 2 Weeks After Stroke Open
Purpose Recovery from aphasia after stroke has a decelerating trajectory, with the greatest gains taking place early and the slope of change decreasing over time. Despite its importance, little is known regarding evolution of language func…

Hemodynamic mechanisms underlying elevated oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) in moyamoya and sickle cell anemia patients Open
Moyamoya is a bilateral, complex cerebrovascular condition characterized by progressive non-atherosclerotic intracranial stenosis and collateral vessel formation. Moyamoya treatment focuses on restoring cerebral blood flow (CBF) through su…

Implementation of an institution-wide acute stroke algorithm: Improving stroke quality metrics Open
A new stroke protocol that prioritized neurointervention at our institution resulted in significant lowering in the DTCT and DTN, with a nonsignificant improvement in DTT.

Intravenous Fibrinolytic Therapy in Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Open
Our analysis suggests that a clinical trial of early systemic fibrinolytic therapy for CRAO is warranted and that conservative treatments are futile and may be harmful.

Long-term disability after lacunar stroke Open
In lacunar stroke patients, older age was associated with worsening long-term disability, even without recurrence. Worse long-term function was associated with diabetes, cognitive status, and prior stroke, and regional differences may be a…
