Effectiveness of statins on outcomes of patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS)
Statins are highly recommended as a secondary prevention strategy after a stroke. Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) accounts for up to one fifth of cases of ischemic stroke. There is a lack of studies investigating the effectiveness of statins in this subgroup of patients. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Oral anticoagulants status after acute ischemic stroke and prognosis in patients with atrial fibrillation
Oral anticoagulation substantially reduces the risk for ischemic stroke (IS) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Studies have shown that anticoagulation therapy reduces the risk of stroke by nearly 70  % and the risk of all-cause mortality by 25 % in patients with AF.1,2 Nevertheless, the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation-associated ischemic stroke (AFAIS) is high, ranging from 10 % to 20 % during the first year,3 which is probably due to a lack of standard doses a nd types of oral anticoagulants (OACs).

Quantitative image signature and machine learning-based prediction of outcomes in cerebral cavernous malformations
There is increasing interest in novel prognostic tools and predictive biomarkers to help identify, with more certainty, cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) susceptible of bleeding if left untreated. We developed explainable quantitative-based machine learning models from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a large CCM cohort to demonstrate the value of artificial intelligence and radiomics in complementing natural history studies for hemorrhage and functional outcome prediction.

Association of Chinese visceral adiposity index with clinical outcome in patients after endovascular thrombectomy
The Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) is a reliable indicator of visceral adiposity dysfunction in the Chinese population. We aimed to evaluate the association between CVAI and clinical outcome in Chinese ischemic stroke patients who received endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).

Association between depression and stroke and the role of sociodemographic factors: A study among hypertensive populations
Globally, hypertension and stroke account for most deaths and disability-adjusted life years.1,2 In hypertensive patients, high shear stress constantly produces a physical impact on the vascular wall, leading to endothelial cell damage, local vascular metabolic abnormalities, and inflammation, further reducing the lumen diameters and vasodilatory reserve.3,4 Along line can lead to hypoperfusion and hemodynamic compromise, which in turn can lead to stroke, especially in pregnant women.5 –7 (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

“Transcallosal” periventricular anastomosis in moyamoya disease: the fourth periventricular anastomosis and a potential predictor of hemorrhage
Choroidal anastomosis is a risk factor for hemorrhage in moyamoya disease. One variant of choroidal anastomosis, “transcallosal anastomosis,” originates from the medial posterior choroidal artery, and penetrates the corpus callosum to reconstruct the pericallosal artery. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and the bleeding rate of transcallosal anastomosis using sliding thin-slab maximum intensity proje ction reformatted from magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).

Basilar artery bifurcation anatomy as a determinant of recanalization and stroke outcome
Thrombectomy improves outcomes in patients with basilar artery (BA) occlusion. We hypothesized that the anatomic configuration of the BA bifurcation, classified as T- or Y-shaped, may impact the outcome as a T-shaped BA would involve more deep penetrating arteries of the midbrain and thalamus.
