Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1 - Laboratory:
* The relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and poor prognostics in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who receive intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) remains controversial. We aimed to determine whether the NLR at admission or post IVT plays a role in AIS patients who received IVT. Fibrin degradation products (FDPs), which can compete with fibrinogen for binding to the platelet membrane and thus interfere with platelet aggregation, are fragments released by the plasmin-mediated degradation of fibrinogen or fibrin. The FDPs level is very sensitive to intravascular thrombus and maybe markedly elevated one the coagulation and fibrinolytic system is activated.
2- Radiological:
* Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) role in detecting acute intracranial artery occlusions is well known. The technique has 94% specificity and 79% sensitivity compared with computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) in acute cerebral ischemia. TCD can provide useful information such as state of collateral flow through the ophthalmic artery and circle of Willis, emboli detection, and real-time bedside monitoring of acute intracranial occlusions. Also, it is useful in selecting patients for bridging therapy after unsuccessful intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria
* Symptoms suggest subarachnoid hemorrhage
* Arterial puncture at a noncompressible site in previous 7 days
* History of previous intracranial hemorrhage
* Intracranial neoplasm, AVM, or an aneurysm
* Recent intracranial or intraspinal surgery
* Elevated blood pressure (systolic greater than 185 mmHg or diastolic greater than 110 mmHg)
* Active internal bleeding
* Acute bleeding diathesis, including but not limited to
* Platelet count less than 100 000/mm\^3
* Heparin received within 48 hours resulting in abnormally elevated aPTT above the upper limit of normal
* Current use of anticoagulant with INR greater than 1.7 or PT greater than 15 seconds
* Current use of direct thrombin inhibitors or direct factor Xa inhibitors with elevated sensitive laboratory tests (e.g., aPTT, INR, platelet count, ECT, TT, or appropriate factor Xa activity assays)
* Blood glucose concentration less than 50 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L)
Recent experience suggests that under some circumstances, with careful consideration and weighing of risk to benefit, patients may receive fibrinolytic therapy despite 1 or more relative contraindications. Consider the risk to the benefit of intravenous rtPA administration carefully if any of these relative contraindications are present:
* Only minor or quickly improving stroke symptoms (clearing automatically)
* Pregnancy
* Seizure at the onset with postictal residual neurological impairments
* Major surgery or serious trauma within prior 14 days
* Recent GI or urinary tract hemorrhage (within previous 21 days)
