Modifiable risk factors mediate the effect of gastroesophageal reflux disease on stroke and subtypes: A Mendelian randomization study
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a well-known condition in the field of gastroenterology. Heartburn and regurgitation are the two most common symptoms of GERD, and serious GERD can cause reflux esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, or even esophageal adenocarcinoma.1 Although those with severe GERD combined with gastrointestinal complications have a higher mortality rate than the general population, the incidence of this disease is not high, and cardiovascular disease is the main underlying cause of death.

Advances in Neurovascular Research: Scientific Highlights from the 15th World Stroke Congress
The Journal of Stroke& Cerebrovascular Disease is proud to launch its first “Advances in Neurovascular Research” section, which will feature regular highlights of major meetings and conferences held throughout the world focusing on advancing the care of cerebrovascular disease. We will identify major themes and innovations described each year for dissemination to the va scular neurology and neuroscience community, including from the World Stroke Congress, International Stroke Congress, and the European Stroke Organization Conference.

IV Thrombolysis for Central retinal artery occlusion – real-world experience from a Comprehensive Stroke Center
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a stroke of the retina potentially amenable to intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). We aimed to determine feasibility of an emergency treatment protocol and risk profile of IVT for CRAO in a comprehensive stroke center (CSC). (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Prospective Study on Ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block improves cerebral blood flow in patients with stroke
The effect of routine internal medicine and stroke rehabilitation treatment was not good. To confirm that ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) can improve cerebral blood flow in patients with stroke, Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and carotid ultrasound were used to monitor the cerebral blood flow parameters of ultrasound-guided SGB in patients with stroke.

Treatment outcomes, types, risk factors, and common manifestations of stroke among admitted stroke patients in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-analyses
Stroke is the sudden onset of a reduced cerebral perfusion-related localized or widespread neurologic impairment. The two main causes of poor treatment outcomes are uncontrolled blood pressure and hospital arrival delays. Identifying the risk factors, types of stroke presentation, and treatment options might be used in the prevention, early detection, and management of stroke to provide the best care to patients.

Evolution pattern estimated by computed tomography perfusion post-thrombectomy predicts outcome in acute ischemic stroke
Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) have been recommended to select acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) but are not widely used for post-treatment evaluation. We aimed to observe abnormalities in CTP and CTA before and after EVT and evaluate post-EVT CTP and CTA as potential tools for improving clinical outcome prediction.

The BAND score: a simple model for upfront prediction of poor outcomes despite successful stroke thrombectomy
While endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is beneficial for patients with acute large vessel occlusion ischemic strokes, a significant portion of patients still do poorly despite successful recanalization. Identifying patients at high risk for poor outcomes can be helpful for future clinical trial design and optimizing acute stroke triage. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)
