Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the most effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO). Yet, long-term outcome (LTO) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in these patients have rarely been addressed, as opposed to modified Rankin scale (mRS) recordings. We analysed demographic data, treatment and neur...

Die retrospektive Analyse diente zum Vergleich der Prozess-, Behandlungsparameter sowie Outcome bei Entlassung nach MT bei M1- und M2-Okklusion.

Wir analysierten retrospektiv demographische Daten, klinische Behandlungsparameter sowie neuroradiologische Parameter. Es wurden Qualitätsparameter nach erfolgter MT (N=694; 52,0% Frauen) in einem Maximalversorger-Klinikum zwischen 01/2017 und 12/2020 ausgewertet.

Retrospektive Analyse zur Ermittlung von Prädiktoren, die mit einer vollständigen Rekanalisierung und gutem Outcome bei Entlassung in Verbindung stehen.

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is defined by an acute memory disturbance of unclear aetiology for a period of less than 24 h. Observed psychological, neuroanatomical and hormonal differences between the sexes in episodic memory suggest sex-specific differences in memory disorders such as TGA. The aim of this study was to determine sex-specific diff...

Background: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder that, especially in the early stages of the disease, is clinically difficult to distinguish from Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective: This study aimed at assessing the use of eye-tracking in head-mounted displays (HMDs) for differentiating PSP and PD. Methods: Saccadic...

Background: Transient global amnesia (TGA) is defined by an acute memory disturbance of unclear etiology for a period of less than 24 h. TGA occurs as a single event in most cases. Prevalence rates of recurrent TGA vary widely from 5.4 to 27.1%. This retrospective study aimed to determine predictors for TGA recurrence. Methods: Cardiovascular risk...

Die Komplikation einer Enzephalitis nach einer ChAdOx1 nCoV-19-Impfung ist auf der Basis vorliegender Daten sehr selten. Es finden sich Hinweise, dass das Risiko, eine postvakzinale Enzephalitis zu entwickeln, nach einer Impfung mit ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 leicht erhöht ist. Auch wenn bisher nur der zeitliche Zusammenhang zwischen Impfung und Enzephalitis...

Objective: Transient global amnesia (TGA) is defined by an acute memory disturbance of unclear etiology for a period of <24 h. Several studies showed differences in vascular risk factors between TGA compared to transient ischemic attack (TIA) or healthy controls with varying results. This retrospective and cross-sectional study compares the cardiov...

The global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has contributed to more than 163 million confirmed infections and 3.3 million deaths worldwide. The severity of the pandemic has led to an unprecedented effort to develop multiple effective vaccines. Due to excellent safety and efficacy data from clinical trials, several vaccines were approved. We report a case series...

Levetiracetam (LEV) is a broad-spectrum, second-generation anticonvulsant, which has quickly become one of the most commonly prescribed anticonvulsants due to its good tolerability, rapid up-dosing capability, and both parenteral and enteral route of application. Considering the frequent prescription and predominant excretion by the kidney with min...

Zusammenfassung Als embolischer Schlaganfall mit ungeklärter Emboliequelle (ESUS) wird eine Subgruppe kryptogener Schlaganfälle bezeichnet, welche durch ein embolisches Infarktmuster definiert werden, wenn gleichzeitig trotz einer sorgfältig durchgeführten Diagnostik keine eindeutige und spezifische Emboliequelle identifiziert werden kann. In diese...

Background Cervical artery dissection is an important cause of stroke in the young. The etiology is still discussed controversial. The most obvious reason for a dissection of extracranial arteries is due to a trauma, eg. after car accidents or other high speed traumas such as high-velocity road traffic accidents. Besides these clear cases, chiropra...

Background Differential diagnosis of severe progressive dementia includes a wide spectrum of inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Particularly challenging is the differentiation of potentially treatable autoimmune encephalitis and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Such a coincidence may indeed complicate the correct diagnosis and influence subsequ...
