As Muslims celebrate Eid, Gaza is bombed, Gazans visit their loved ones graves, and Israel keeps shedding Palestinian blood for the world to see. This week’s footage of Palestinian parents holding the dismembered remains of their children resembled the worst moments of this genocide, yet the world continues to ignore it.

Join SVIN and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) for a case-based webinar translating the 2026 AHA/ASA LVO guidelines into real-world practice.

Through expert discussion and interactive case review, we will examine thrombectomy decision-making and how stroke teams can apply evolving recommendations to complex clinical scenarios at the bedside.

Israeli far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has posted video of himself taunting detained Gaza-bound activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla with the caption, ‘Welcome to Israel’.

The activists, abducted by Israeli forces in international waters, are seen zip tied and kneeling.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (#ALS) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness due to degeneration of upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord.

Diagnosis relies on clinical criteria with mixed upper and lower motor neuron features, and is often supported by electromyography and genetic testing, which may direct treatment.

What can high-resource stroke systems learn from LMICs?

A lot.

Today at #WorldThrombectomyDay, we are flipping the script.

This is not just about how we can help LMICs. It is about what we can learn from each other.

Our @svinsociety @MThrombectomy Global Chair @almuftifawaz opens the Mission Thrombectomy x Collaterals Global Webathon, bringing together 45+ international speakers for 10+ hours on collateral circulation, thrombectomy innovation, stroke systems of care, AI, access disparities, and the future of global stroke intervention.

100+ attendees joined in the first hour.

Please consider joining: https://t.co/tf9LIfUKXF

One shared mission: thrombectomy access for every eligible patient, everywhere.

Inflammatory myopathies are typically associated with a myositis-specific autoantibody that determines the diagnosis and prognosis. Myositis subgroups have distinct pathomechanisms that now allow for targeted therapies.

Since the declaration of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on October 10, 2025, Israel has violated the agreement with near-daily attacks, killing hundreds of Palestinians in the besieged enclave.

Israeli forces attacked Palestinians with tear gas to prevent them from performing Eid prayers near the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which has been closed by Israeli authorities since the start of the US and Israeli war on Iran.

[Fawaz Al-Mufti, MD, FSVIN @almuftifawaz]

The right hemisphere would like a word. Turns out the right brain has been getting robbed.

Our new paper in @StrokeAHA_ASA shows right MCA strokes actually have worse inpatient outcomes than left.

Higher mortality.
More edema.
More complications.

Yet these patients often score lower on the NIH Stroke Scale.

If your stroke does not affect speech, the system sometimes thinks you are doing just fine.

Translation: patients with right hemisphere strokes can look “better” on paper while actually doing worse.
