🧵Focused Update: Immune Response in #Stroke 🧬 The “recanalization–reperfusion gap” highlights thromboinflammation as a key determinant of stroke outcome. NETs, platelet–leukocyte aggregates, and vessel wall inflammation drive microvascular obstruction and reperfusion injury.
🚨 🌍 WHO has adopted its first-ever stroke resolution, recognising stroke as a full continuum of care, from prevention to rehabilitation.
👉 The resolution sets out 16 operative actions for Member States

���🫀In acute ICH, ~20% systolic blood pressure reduction in the first hour and ~30% by 24h (tailored to baseline) were linked to best outcomes
👉Larger reductions may diminish benefit and warrant caution

More data indicating that even with successful recanalization (TICI-2B+),extreme BP variability in the first 6 hours correlated with poor outcome (mRS 3-6).
Smoother BP profiles, can be attained by going immediately to nicardipine or clevidipine infusion

A new study is challenging long-standing assumptions about the causes of lacunar stroke, a common type of ischemic stroke linked to cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD).
Researchers found that abnormal widening, elongation, and twisting of the basilar artery in the brain’s posterior circulation was strongly associated with lacunar stroke, not large artery stenosis from atherosclerotic plaque buildup, as previously thought.
Arterial widening was also linked to greater small vessel disease burden, progression of white matter injury, and new infarcts on MRI. https://t.co/YVx3rh0xcE
Medication nonadherence remains a persistent challenge in clinical practice, often driven by cost, side effects, or complex regimens. Understanding the specific barriers patients face allows providers to implement targeted interventions and collaborative communication strategies.

🚨 New #ESOC2026 trial results
Early administration of tirofiban after insufficient response to IV thrombolysis improved 90-day functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients without increasing symptomatic ICH or mortality.
