Robotic Assessment to Detect Neurological Impairments Associated with Transient Ischemic Attack
Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are a substantial risk factor for ischemic stroke, but have been widely regarded as minor perturbations to the function of the central nervous system that leave little to no lasting impact on their own. However, in the last 20 years there has been a growing …

Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Cognition of Transient Ischemic Attack Patients and Healthy Controls
… imaging and neuropsychological considerations. Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) patients are at an increased risk of dementia due to the presence of vascular risk factors and underlying vascular/neurodegenerative pathology. We hypothesized that at baseline TIA patients will exhibit abnormal …

Regional Low Cerebral Blood Flow Predicts Leukoaraiosis Development at 18 Months in Patients with TIA and Minor Stroke
… (WMH) development in minor stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients. New WMH at 18 months were identified by comparing follow-up with baseline FLAIR, and regions of interest (ROI) were placed in normal appearing and hyperintense white matter. Co-registered CBF maps were used …

What is the efficacy of withholding perioperative anticoagulation bridging in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing elective invasive procedures?
… emergent surgery. The outcomes included stroke, transient ishaemic attack, systemic embolism, major bleeding events, non-major bleeding events, length of hospital stay, and all-cause mortality. Methods: In this systematic review, electronic databases including Medline, Embase, Cinahl, and CENTRAL …

Improving Stroke Documentation on a Stroke Unit
… Stroke (ICH= 30); or were suspected of stroke/ Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA= 15). Next, stroke chart audits were done to determine whether or not the nursing documentation was consistent per stroke protocol. The goal of this retrospective data analysis was to recognize areas where there are …

CAN LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION HELP CONTROL RISK FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACKS OR MINOR STROKES?: A PILOT STUDY AND PROPOSAL FOR A MULTICENTRE TRIAL
… important for patients who have had a previous transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke, since approximately 15-20 percent of strokes are preceded by a TIA . However, literature suggests that risk factors are poorly controlled in these patients. Two studies in this population found anywhere …
