In this lively inspiring session, Chaired by S. Debette and J. Montaner, results of studies looking at a broad spectrum of novel prognostic as well as diagnostic blood biomarkers including genetic markers and their association with cerebrovascular diseases were presented. The session was enriched by questions from the audience and the chairs. The prognostic role […]
The third early career speaker to present a research protocol at the ESO Young Stroke Physicians and Researchers Career Mentoring Workshop was Stefania Nannoni. She is an Italian neurologist from Florence (Italy), currently working as research fellow at the Stroke Center of Lausanne University Hospital (Switzerland). Her research interests lie in the field of acute […]
During a brief pause in today’s scientific sessions, Dr Jatinder Minhas took the opportunity to walk through the poster hall and reports. There were several emergent themes including blood pressure variability, stroke in the older person and various experimental stroke models. Several posters caught my eye including some important work on older stroke patients: Thrombectomy in the […]
by Davide Strambo In these exciting years of continuous innovations in stroke care, there is something never changing: stroke is a clinical-based diagnosis and we don’t have to be too confident on MRI: DWI-NEGATIVE STROKE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF FREQUENCY AND OUTCOMES (R. Gurney et al.) remind us that some ischemic strokes (about […]
Chairs – Markku Kaste, Christopher Levi Many would argue that it is equally as challenging to implement new discoveries into clinical practice as it is to make the discoveries themselves. The recent advances in reperfusion therapy are a prime example of where, in order to realize the opportunity provided to our patients by new evidence, […]
by Giuseppe Reale ESOC charms you with astonishing large trials and milestones results. However, it is important to remember that research is filled with wrong steps. Stroke clinical practice too. Indeed, it is important to learn from mistakes, as FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH STROKE MISDIAGNOSIS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED): A RETROSPECTIVE CASE-CONTROL STUDY (Cordato et […]
Mayank Goyal and Lars Thomassen chaired the session on “Reperfusion and Acute Ischemic Stroke” a report the following. Once again the ESOC starts with a bang with some great presentations and excellent data! A new DAWN? Wednesday morning, the session on reperfusion in acute ischemic stroke went directly into the core of the second revolution […]
What inspired you do research in intracerebral haemorrhage? As a training clinician, I was heavily frustrated by the lack of definitive treatment in acute intracerebral haemorrhage. When I was doing my PhD, the results of the factor VII studies were published and the lack of benefit further inspired me to pursue therapeutic options in this […]
A conversation with Ayse Tanritanir, researcher at Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin and one of the presenters at the Young Stroke Physicians and Researchers (YSPR) session at ESOC 2018, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Ayse Tanritanir presented an imaging protocol using BOLD delay that aims to short scan times for non-invasive assessment of hypoperfusion. Interviewed by Diana Aguiar de […]
