Stroke, Ahead of Print. Right-to-left shunt, mainly due to patent foramen ovale (PFO), is likely responsible for ≈5% of all ischemic strokes and 10% of those occurring in young and middle-aged adults. Randomized clinical trials demonstrated that, in selected young and middle-aged patients with otherwise cryptogenic acute ischemic stroke and high-risk PFO, percutaneous PFO closure is more effective than antiplatelet therapy alone in preventing recurrence. However, PFO is generally a benign finding and is present in about one-quarter of the population. Therefore, in clinical practice, identifying PFOs that are likely to be pathogenetic is crucial for selecting suitable patients for PFO closure to prevent recurrent stroke and to avoid potentially harmful and costly overtreatment. Contrast transthoracic echocardiography has a relatively low sensitivity in detecting PFO, whereas transesophageal echocardiography is currently considered the gold standard for PFO detection. However, it is a relatively invasive procedure and may not always be easily feasible in the subacute setting. Contrast transcranial Doppler is a noninvasive, inexpensive, accurate tool for the detection of right-to-left shunt. We conducted a literature review on the use of contrast transcranial Doppler to detect and grade right-to-left shunt after an acute ischemic stroke and present a clinical workflow proposal for young and middle-aged patients.

No. Test performance is quite variable.

Introduction
Given the increasing rates of antipsychotic use in multiple psychiatric conditions, greater attention to the assessment, monitoring and documentation of their side effects is warranted. While a significant degree of attention has been provided to metabolic side effect monitoring, comparatively little is known about how clinicians screen for, document and monitor the motor side effects of antipsychotics (ie, parkinsonism, akathisia, dystonia and dyskinesias, collectively ‘extrapyramidal side effects’, EPS). This review aims to systematically assess the literature for insights into current trends in EPS monitoring practices within various mental health settings globally.

Methods and analysis
An electronic search will be performed using the OVID Medline, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and APA PsycINFO databases for studies published in the last quarter century (1998 to present day). Two independent reviewers will conduct the initial title and abstract screenings, using predetermined criteria for inclusion and exclusion. A third reviewer will resolve disagreements if consensus cannot be reached. If selected for inclusion, full-text data extraction will then be conducted using a pilot-tested data extraction form. Quality assessment will be conducted for all included studies using a modified version of the Quality Improvement Minimum Quality Criteria Set. A narrative synthesis and summary of the data will be provided. All stages of the review process will be reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Ethics and dissemination
Ethical approval is not required. Findings will be peer reviewed, published and shared verbally, electronically and in print with interested clinicians and will also be presented as posters or talks at relevant medical conferences and meetings.
