Pulmonary abscess combined with pulmonary vein thrombosis and stroke: A case report
Although most stroke patients have underlying vascular risk factors, it is important to consider infectious causes of stroke in young adults without traditional risk factors or patients with cryptogenic stroke. Pulmonary vein thrombosis and air embolism can potentially cause cerebral infarction. However, the association between infection and pulmonary vein thrombosis or air embolism is often overlooked. In this case, we present a rare infectious cause of stroke and air embolism involving a pulmonary abscess and pulmonary vein thrombosis. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Fatty Liver Index as a proxy for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease: The Suita Study
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in developed countries, but its role in predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) needs further investigation. Herein, we studied the association between NAFLD and the risk of CVD, stroke, and coronary heart disease (CHD) among Japanese people. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Usage of mineralocorticoids and isotonic crystalloids in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients in the United States
The usage rates of mineralocorticoids (fludrocortisone) to treat hyponatremia and isotonic crystalloids (saline and balanced crystalloids) to maintain intravascular volume in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients across the United States are unknown.

Value of HAVOC and Brown ESUS-AF scores for atrial fibrillation on implantable cardiac monitors after embolic stroke of undetermined source
Cryptogenic strokes represent about one-third of all ischemic stroke cases.1 Up to one in five of ischemic strokes are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF),2 either already known, or detected at hospital admission or during subsequent electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring (recent concept of AFDAS (Atrial Fibrillation Dectected After Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack).4 Because systematical anticoagulation in patients with cryptogenic stroke has shown no clinical benefit, identifying underlying AF has currently important therapeutic implications.

Safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy for primary and secondary MeVO
Medium-vessel occlusions (MeVO) are emerging as a new target for endovascular treatment (EVT). Primary MeVO occur de novo, while secondary MeVO arise from large vessel occlusion (LVO) through clot migration or fragmentation - spontaneously, following intravenous thrombolysis or EVT. We aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of EVT in primary and EVT-induced secondary MeVO. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Predictors of recurrent cerebral ischemia after patent foramen ovale closure: A single center observational study
Transcatheter patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is a reliable therapeutic option in patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) that are likely to be PFO-mediated.1 Indeed, recent large randomized clinical trials pointed out benefits from transcatheter PFO closure, as compared to antiplatelet therapy, in minimizing the risk of recurrent cerebral events in this population.2 –4 However, the recurrence of stroke/TIA is not rare and underlying pathophysiology remains an open question.

Ischemic Stroke with Positive Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Bloom Syndrome: A Case Report
Objective: Bloom syndrome is a chromosomal breakage disorder associated with immune deficiency, characterized by short stature, predisposition to early-onset cancer, and immune defects. Currently, there have been no reports of acute cerebral infarction in patients with Bloom syndrome. Here, we report a case of Bloom syndrome complicated by elevated antiphospholipid antibodies and acute cerebral infarction. Materials and Methods: A 23-year-old male with a known genetic diagnosis of Bloom syndrome was admitted to the Respiratory Department due to pulmonary aspergillosis.

One year clinical outcome of dual anti-platelet therapy with the Novel Ticagrelor plus Aspirin versus Clopidogrel plus Aspirin for Endovascular Intervention of patients with Intracranial Aneurysm: A meta-analysis
The use of stents to treat un-ruptured intracranial aneurysms was first approved in the year 2002 in the United States as a Humanitarian Device Exemption. Antiplatelet therapy is mandatory following stent placement. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel has been the first line agents for the prevention of thromboembolic events following neuro-endovascular procedures. However, clopidogrel hypo-responsiveness has often been observed. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically compare one year clinical outcome of DAPT with the Novel Ticagrelor plus Aspirin versus Clopidogrel plus Aspirin for Endovasc...

Predicting self-perceived manual ability at three and six months after stroke: A prospective longitudinal study
Recovery of manual ability is a critical issue in rehabilitation. Currently, little is known regarding the baseline predictors of self-perceived manual ability, which could capture information on individual's perceived functional ability, especially in carrying-out routine tasks outside clinical settings.

A case series on treatment of central and branch retinal artery occlusion with intravenous tenecteplase
Central and branch retinal artery occlusions are disabling ischemic strokes of the retina for which established acute treatments are lacking. This is the first published report of the use of intravenous tenecteplase (TNK) for retinal artery occlusion, in which we describe the clinical course of four patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and one patient with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO).

Predictive value of functional disability scales among stroke survivors: A long-term mortality evaluation in a Brazilian stroke cohort
Stroke burden related to disability and loss of independence in daily activities has a great impact on mortality.1 This is particularly true in low-middle income countries (LMICs) where more than 70  % of strokes and post-stroke disabilities.2 In Latin America, stroke is the second leading cause of death. Stroke represents a huge burden in Brazil which has one of the highest rates.3,4 Since late 1960, ischemic heart disease and stroke have been the predominant causes of death in Brazil.5 Accor ding to the National Health Survey (“Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde”, PNS) 2013, there were 2,231,000 self-reported strokes and 5...
