Systemic inflammatory profiles associated with early EEG abnormalities following ischemic stroke: a cohort study

Abstract Background Post-stroke inflammation (PSI) contributes to acute brain injury and may influence early electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities after ischemic stroke. Although systemic inflammatory biomarkers have prognostic value, their association with specific EEG pat...

CT Perfusion in lacunar stroke: a powerful tool to enhance lacunar stroke detection and prediction of patients’ outcome

INTRODUCTION: Lacunar strokes are caused by occlusion of small penetrating arteries. Although CT perfusion (CTP) is widely used in the acute settings, automated core/penumbra software often fails to detect lacunar perfusion abnormalities, so its diagnostic and prognostic roles re...
