Clinical Diagnostics and Management of Stroke

Dear Colleagues,

Stroke remains a leading cause of disability and mortality globally. Timely and accurate clinical diagnostics and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes, making this a vital area of research. We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of the journal dedicated to the "Clinical Diagnostics and Management of Stroke." In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

• Advanced Diagnostic Tools:Novel biomarkers (e.g., blood-based, imaging), applications of artificial intelligence in neuroimaging, and multimodal CT/MRI protocols.
• Acute Treatment Strategies:Optimizing thrombolysis (e.g., extended time windows, tenecteplase), and technical advances in endovascular thrombectomy.
• Post-Stroke Management and Rehabilitation:Early and late-phase rehabilitation techniques, cognitive and emotional recovery, and management of post-stroke complications.
• Secondary Prevention and Long-term Care:Advances in the management of atrial fibrillation and novel antiplatelet/anticoagulant regimens. Lifestyle interventions and risk factor control.
• Translational Research and Neuroprotection:Bridging experimental therapies from bench to bedside, including studies on neuroinflammation, neuroprotection, and brain recovery.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Sincerely,

Dr. Qiwen Deng
Guest Editor
