Happy to have contributed to this amazing article of my friend and colleague Umberto Pensato Umberto Pensato. Terrific discussion sessions during our training in Calgary ➡️ ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

The Black-&-White sign is arguably the most predictive individual radiological sign of intracerebral hematoma expansion. Check out our last publication. Johanna Ospel, MD PhD Carlos Molina Humanitas University U Calgary International Journal of Stroke journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…

🚨 We created the Canadian Outcome Scale for Minor Stroke (COSMOS) to better capture the spectrum of good to poor outcomes in minor stroke. Here, we present COSMOS and its high inter-/intra-rater reliability:🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… Mayank Goyal nishita singh Stroke AHA/ASA

We introduce the "#leakycore"--where the ischemic damage is so severe that reperfusion is not only useless but potentially harmful. Prolonged and severe hypoperfusion are keys. #stroke International Journal of Stroke World Stroke Org Johanna Ospel, MD PhD Mayank Goyal AshuJadhav journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

We introduce "vulnerable oligemia"--a benign oligemia zone (asymptomatic) critically close to the ischemic penumbra (symptomatic) threshold as responsible for unexplained END in #stroke Neurology Journal Johanna Ospel, MD PhD Mayank Goyal DCNS Calgary Humanitas University neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

🚨Nonstenotic carotid disease is often seen in stroke. In this AcT RRCT paper led by Katha Ignacio nishita singh we show that in such patients, intraluminal thrombi, webs, dissections & rim sign are strongly assoc with ipsilateral stroke JAHA DCNS Calgary ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

FASTEST trial showed that recombinant factor VIIa did not improve the functional outcome of ICH patients. However, there is a massive effect in the subgroup with spot sign! #ISC26 #stroke

Rather than follow algorithms blindly, we propose clinicians consider the chances of futile or harmful recanalization in cases with large, advanced, and severe ischemic changes in NCCT. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST… Umberto Pensato
