Pathology-based brain arterial disease phenotypes and their radiographic correlates
: Brain arterial diseases, including atherosclerosis, vasculitis, and dissections, are major contributors to cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. These diseases not only increase the risk of stroke but also play a significant role in neurodegeneration and dementia. Clear and unambiguous terminology and classification of brain arterial disease phenotypes is crucial for research and clinical practice. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

National Trends in the Endovascular and Surgical Treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
The prevalence and incidence of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) has increased significantly over recent years, parallel to the rise in prevalence of obesity1. Emergency readmissions for symptom flares or treatment failures are significant issues with IIH that impose a substantial financial burden on the healthcare system in the United States (U.S.)2. Medical therapy is the first line in the management of IIH. However, patients may require further procedural treatments in refractory or severe cases.

Fecal calprotectin is a novel biomarker to predict the clinical outcomes of patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm
Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a common cerebrovascular disease and the leading cause of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. Recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota is involved in the pathophysiological process of IA through the gut-brain axis. However, the role of gut inflammation in the development of IA has yet to be clarified. Our study aimed to investigate whether fecal calprotectin (FC) level, a sensitive marker of gut inflammation, is correlated with the development of IA and the prognosis of patients with ruptured IA (RIA).

Comparison between moyamoya disease and moyamoya syndrome in Israel
Moyamoya is a chronic brain vasculopathy involving the distal intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) or proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA). Moyamoya patients can be divided into those with primary moyamoya disease (MMD) and those with moyamoya secondary to other known causes such as intracranial atherosclerosis (moymoya syndrome [MMS]). Our aim was to compare the characteristics of MMD patients to those of MMS patients in a sample of Israeli patients seen over the course of 20 years at a tertiary referral center.

Adherence to secondary stroke prevention medications in Singapore: a single center study
Recurrent strokes are associated with greater disability and mortality than first-time strokes. However, adherence to secondary stroke prevention medications has been reported to be suboptimal. We assessed medication adherence to antihypertensives, antiplatelets, and statins after acute ischemic stroke and identified factors associated with non-adherence behavior to each drug class.
