Imaging modalities are important part of stroke evaluation. Noncontrast head computed tomography (CT) is the initial imaging modality in acute stroke and although important to rule out acute hemorrhage and making a decision on thrombolytic treatment, ischemic changes may not be visible on CT for up to 24 hours. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brai...

Heart failure (HF) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and post-stroke disability. However, differing definitions and application of HF-criteria may impact model prediction. We compared the predictive ability of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), a readily available objective echocardiographic index, with clinical HF defi...

Our objective is to present a case of Vernet's syndrome (cranial nerve (CN) IX, X, and XI palsy) associated with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in an internal jugular vein. The patient presented with acutely developed dysphagia. The weakness of the left sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles was observed. The initial magnetic resonance imaging...

Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an alternative option to medical treatment for secondary prevention for cryptogenic stroke (CS). Despite technical success of procedure, residual shunt (RS) which is a presumable cause for recurrent stroke is observed in some patients. We evaluated the RS with serial follow-up bubble contrast tr...

Background Vascular endothelial growth factor-A165 (VEGF-A165) has been identified as a combination of two alternative splice variants: proangiogenic VEGF-A165a and antiangiogenic VEGF-A165b. Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) and moyamoya disease (MMD) are two main types of intracranial arterial steno-occlusive disorders (ICASD) with dist...

Bilateral motor control deficits poststroke may be lateralized by hemisphere damage. This preliminary study investigated bilateral force control between left and right hemisphere-damaged groups at baseline and after coupled bilateral movement training with neuromuscular stimulation. Stroke participants (8 left hemisphere and 6 right hemisphere cere...

Several studies have shown that cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) increase the risk of long-term stroke-related mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine if the existence and burden of CMBs are a predictor of in-hospital death among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We studied consecutive ischemic stroke patients who admitted to our ...

Poststroke, sensory deficits are not uncommon. In spite of the close association between the sensory and motor recovery, the deficits are usually underemphasized. Mirror therapy (MT), a neural-based approach for the motor deficit has not been explored for the sensory impairment. The objective of the present study was to develop and determine the ef...

Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive glycogen storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal glycogen-hydrolyzing enzyme acid α-glucosidase. The adult-onset form, late-onset Pompe disease, has been characterized by glycogen accumulation, primarily in skeletal and smooth muscles, causing weakness of the proximal limb girdle and respirat...

We performed this study to identify demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics of adult patients with angiographically confirmed vertebral artery occlusive disease (VAOD) and associated risk factors. The demographic and clinical characteristics, and angiographic features were ascertained using predefined criteria. Controls were selecte...
