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...

Machine learning prediction of hospital discharge disposition for inpatients with acute ischemic stroke following mechanical thrombectomy in the United States
Predicting patient recovery and discharge disposition following mechanical thrombectomy remains a challenge in patients with ischemic stroke. Machine learning offers a promising prognostication approach assisting in personalized post-thrombectomy care plans and resource allocation. As a large national database, National Inpatient Sample (NIS), contain valuable insights amenable to data-mining. The study aimed to develop and evaluate ML models predicting hospital discharge disposition with a focus on demographic, socioeconomic and hospital characteristics.

Incidence and risk of stroke in Korean patients with congenital heart disease
Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects in approximately 1% of newborns. Advances in surgical and medical treatments have enabled>90% of children with CHD to survive to adolescence or adulthood 1,2. As the number of patients who survive CHD increases, growing attention is being paid to lifestyle-related comorbidities and acquired cardiovascular and systemic complications, including diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, and stroke 3-10.

Effects of a 1 year aerobic and strength training on cognitive functioning after transient ischemic attack or minor stroke: A randomized controlled trial
Patients who have recently suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke are at increased risk of cognitive impairment. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of a 1-year exercise intervention on cognitive functioning up to 2 years post intervention.

Relative anemia and perioperative stroke in children with moyamoya
Moyamoya arteriopathy is a cerebral arteriopathy characterized by progressive stenosis of the distal internal carotid arteries with compensatory proliferation of abundant lenticulostriate collateral vessels 1. Moyamoya is a significant cause of stroke among children and is responsible for 6-10% of childhood strokes and transient ischemic attacks (TIA). Affected children are at high risk for recurrent stroke and subsequent disability 2 –5. Management options for pediatric moyamoya include antiplatelet agents, surgical revascularization, and for children with comorbid sickle cell disease, chronic exchange transfusions 3,6�...

Central arterial stiffening and intracranial atherosclerosis: the atherosclerosis risk in communities neurocognitive study (ARIC-NCS)
Previous studies suggest an association between central arterial stiffness (CAS) and intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) among Asian participants with stroke or hypertension; this association has not been evaluated in United States populations. We assessed the cross-sectional association of CAS with ICAD presence and burden in late-life, and differences in association by age, sex, and race.

Extracts from Dendropanax morbifera leaves ameliorates cerebral ischemia-induced hippocampal damage by reducing oxidative damage in gerbil
Transient forebrain global ischemia is caused by an insufficient blood supply to the brain due to cardiac arrest or occlusion of the common carotid arteries. An insufficient blood supply affects the oxygen and glucose concentrations in neurons and glia and eventually causes neuronal death in several brain regions.33,48,49 Several cell death mechanisms induced by ischemia have been proposed, and oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in neuronal damage in the hippocampus.

Study of the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio as a biomarker for predicting recurrence of first-episode ischemic stroke
Neutrophils and albumin are associated with recurrence in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) and recurrence in patients with first-episode acute ischemic stroke to identify a more predictive biomarker for ischemic stroke recurrence.

Somatosensory evoked potentials amplitude is enhanced after non-invasive brain stimulation in chronic ischemic stroke: Preliminary results from a randomised control trial
For more than a decade, in several parts of the world, non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been accepted as a novel rehabilitative method in post-stroke rehabilitation.1 Neuroplasticity, a significant player in post-stroke rehabilitation, can be modified by several NIBS strategies,2,3 which is important in post-stroke rehabilitation as a newly evolving therapeutic tool. NIBS comprises transcranial direct or alternate current stimulation (tDCS/tACS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), or their various paradigms and combinations.

Role of serum alkaline phosphatase as a potential biomarker of severity and prognosis in intracerebral hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurs when impaired blood vessels ruptures in the parenchyma of brain, causing blood to leak inside the brain.1 As the second-most common form of stroke, ICH is a destructive disease with high morbidity, disability and mortality, which affects around 2 million people worldwide each year.2,3 In spite of advances in neurocritical care, the therapeutic strategies for patients with ICH are limited.4 In this case, looking for blood biomarkers to explore pathological processes, assess the disease severity and provide early prognostic information is of great significance for ICH.
