Background. In recent years, the clinical significance of collateral circulation in vascular embolism has been gradually found.Objectives. To investigate the relationship between collateral circulation and short-term prognosis of wakeup stroke patients. Materials and methods.The present observational study enrolled 269 cases of wake-up ischemic stroke patients. All patients presented with mismatched low perfusion volume/main infraction volume and received thrombolytic therapy after admission. The hemorrhagic transformation rate was recorded. The American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology (ASITN/SIR) grading was used for evaluation of collateral circulation. The stroke condition was determined using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The Barthel Index (BI) score was used for measurement of quality of life. The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used for measurement of prognosis.Results. The hypertension, diabetes and current smoker rates were significantly higher. The baseline NHISS scores and NIHSS scores after 24 h were remarkably lower. The NIHSS scores were markedly lower in ASITN/SIR grade 2-3 patients compared with ASITN/SIR grade 0-1 patients at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 3 months after treatment. Patients with ASITN/SIR grade 2-3 had lower mRS score and higher BI scores. The ASITN/ SIR grade was an independent risk factor for bad prognosis of wake-up ischemic stroke patients in 3 months. Conclusions.Collateral circulation condition may be associated with short-term prognosis of wake-up stroke patients. Patients with worse collateral circulation may present higher risk for bad short-term prognosis.
This study aims to investigate the clinical prediction of magnetic resonance image compilation (MAGiC) and magnetic resonance image (MRI) in early diagnosis of the patients with mild cognitive impairment. This study is a retrospective randomized controlled clinical trial, and all patients are divided into following two groups: experiment group and control group. Patients in the experiment group are detected by MAGiC, and patients in the control group are detected by MRI; the clinical material from the two groups of patients with MCI are collected, and then Wechsler Memory Scale-Logical Memory (WMS-LM) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) are recorded by follow-up. Images by MAGiC have higher accuracy and definition compared with those by MRI. WMS-LM score and MMSE score in the experiment group are significantly better than those in the control group. We can conclude that MAGiC is a promising way to evaluate the clinical prediction in patients with MCI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
