High Basal Ganglia Perivascular Space Burden Predicts Both Ischemic Stroke and Major Bleeding in Antithrombotic Users

A large prospective study reveals that a high burden of basal ganglia enlarged perivascular spaces (BGPVSs) significantly increases the risk of both ischemic stroke and major bleeding in patients on antithrombotic therapy, positioning BGPVS as a critical biomarker for personalized vascular risk assessment.

The NIHSS Bias: Why Right-Sided Middle Cerebral Artery Strokes Carry Higher Mortality and Complication Risks

A retrospective study of 489,360 patients reveals that right-sided middle cerebral artery strokes are associated with significantly higher inpatient mortality and complications compared to left-sided strokes, likely due to inherent scoring biases in the NIHSS that underestimate nondominant hemisphere deficits.

Exoskeleton-Assisted Therapy for Upper Limb Motor Recovery in Early Subacute Stroke: Evidence from a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

A comprehensive review of a multicenter RCT (Morone et al., 2026) demonstrating that exoskeleton-based robot-assisted therapy significantly improves upper limb motor impairment and clinical outcomes in the early subacute phase of stroke recovery compared to conventional care.
