Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability and mortality worldwide, and, in recent years, remarkable advancements have transformed the landscape of acute stroke care.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for innovative research and clinical perspectives that are reshaping the management of acute stroke. Key areas of focus include diagnostic innovations—such as novel imaging techniques, biomarker discovery for early stroke detection, and the deployment of mobile stroke units—which underscore the urgency of time-sensitive intervention. Therapeutic progress, including expanded time windows for intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy, continues to enhance patient outcomes. Additionally, emerging neuroprotective strategies hold promise in preserving neural function and improving recovery. This Special Issue also seeks to explore the integration of telemedicine, particularly tele-stroke services, in expanding access to underserved regions. The application of artificial intelligence and machine learning for stroke detection, triage, and outcome prediction represents a paradigm shift in personalized care.
We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, and clinical perspectives that address innovations, challenges, and solutions across these domains. Contributions highlighting health equity, global disparities, and the implementation of cutting-edge technologies are especially encouraged. By fostering dialogue across disciplines, this Special Issue aspires to contribute impactful insights toward an inclusive and forward-thinking framework for acute stroke treatment.
