Objective To determine the predictors of unfavorable outcomes in acute minor ischemic
stroke patients with large vessel occlusion. Methods The derivation cohort included ischemic …

Background One third of patients presenting with initially mild strokes have unfavorable
outcomes, and the efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in this population has not been …

This review focuses on the need of mobile health (or m-Health) based devices for remote
diagnosis of patients suffering from upper limb or upper extremity (UE) paresis due to stroke …

Introduction Despite increasing evidence of its efficacy in advanced age or in mild or severe
strokes, intravenous thrombolysis remains underused for acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). Our …

Background Large vessel occlusion (LVO) is associated with poor functional outcome in
acute ischemic stroke. Given the uncertainty whether LVO has the same significance in mild …

Background: Several contraindications for intravenous thrombolysis are not based on
controlled trials. Specialized stroke centers often apply less restrictive criteria. The aim of our …

Background and purpose At present, endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has been gradually
became a standard therapy for stroke patients caused by emergent large-vessel occlusion …

A majority of patients with ischemic stroke present with mild deficits for which aggressive
management is not often pursued. Comprehensive work-up and appropriate intervention for …

Background Patients with an acute ischemic stroke rated as mild, and for this reason not
submitted to thrombolysis, have an unfavorable outcome in a non-negligible proportion …

Background The introduction of neurological stroke units and of thrombolysis with the
