- Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Astrocytopathy: Review of Pathogenesis, Imaging Features, and Radiographic Mimics
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy is a CNS autoimmune inflammatory disorder characterized by specific antibodies targeting the intracellular filament protein in mature astrocytes. Neuroimaging findings include linear perivascular enhancement in the white matter extending in a radial pattern, periependymal enhancement, longitudinally extensive cord signal changes, intramedullary enhancement, optic neuritis, and papillitis.
- Influence of Stroke-Onset Location on the Efficacy of Endovascular Thrombectomy: Comparison of Outcomes between In-Hospital versus Community-Onset Strokes
This study compared clinical outcomes in in-hospital strokes versus community-onset strokes in patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusion. In-hospital strokes had overall faster time metrics from stroke onset to reperfusion. However, the rate of successful reperfusion and safety outcomes (in-hospital mortality and parenchymal hematoma) did not differ between the groups. Ninety-day mRS was also similar in both groups.
