Independent Predictive Value of Elevated YKL-40 in Ischemic Stroke Prognosis: Findings from a Nationwide Stroke Registry
Conclusions: The elevated YKL-40 at admission can potentially help predict death, functional prognosis after ischemic stroke, which may help further studies to explore the potential physiological and pathological mechanism including the effects of vulnerable plaque and collateral circulation.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Association between Kidney Function and the Burden of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease: An Updated Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
Conclusion: The association between kidney function and CSVD has been comprehensively updated through this study, that kidney insufficiency manifested as low eGFR, proteinuria, and elevated serum cystatin C was independently associated with CSVD burden.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Effect of Magnesium on Deterioration and Symptomatic Hemorrhagic Transformation in Cerebral Ischemia: An Ancillary Analysis of the FAST-MAG Trial
Conclusions: Treatment with Mg did not significantly reduce rates of clinical deterioration or symptomatic HT. Future analysis should address whether treatment with Mg could have influenced the subgroup with low serum Mg at baseline.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Prognostic Value of Stress Hyperglycaemia Ratio in Young Patients with Ischaemic Stroke or Transient Ischaemic Attack
Conclusion: The SHR is independently related to more severe stroke and an increased risk of poor functional outcomes among young adults with ischaemic stroke or TIA.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Interleukin-11 Is Elevated in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation, Correlates with Serum Fibrosis Markers, and Represents a Therapeutic Target for Atrial Fibrosis
Conclusions: IL-11 is upregulated in the serum of AF patients, and IL-11 inhibitor significantly inhibited Ang II-induced atrial fibrosis, a key pathological feature of AF. Therefore, IL-11 could be a potential therapeutic target for AF.Cerebrovasc Dis (Source: Cerebrovascular Diseases)
