Vulnerability to Infarction During Cerebral Ischemia in Migraine Sufferers [Clinical Sciences]
Conclusions—Migraine is likely to increase individual vulnerability to ischemic stroke during the process of acute brain ischemia and might represent, therefore, a potential new therapeutic target against occurrence and progression of the ischemic damage. (Source: Stroke)

Los Angeles Motor Scale to Identify Large Vessel Occlusion [Clinical Sciences]
Conclusions—The LAMS performed in the field by paramedics identifies LVO and CSC-appropriate patients with good accuracy. The LAMS performs comparably or better than more extended prehospital scales and the full National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. (Source: Stroke)

Anxiety After Stroke [Clinical Sciences]
Background and Purpose—Anxiety after stroke is common and disabling. Stroke trialists have treated anxiety as a homogenous condition, and intervention studies have followed suit, neglecting the different treatment approaches for phobic and generalized anxiety. Using diagnostic psychiatric interviews, we aimed to report the frequency of phobic and generalized anxiety, phobic avoidance, predictors of anxiety, and patient outcomes at 3 months poststroke/transient ischemic attack.Methods—We followed prospectively a cohort of new diagnosis of stroke/transient ischemic attack at 3 months with a telephone semistructured psych...

Functional Trajectories, Cognition, and Subclinical Cerebrovascular Disease [Clinical Sciences]
Conclusions—PI-SBI moderated the association between cognition and functional trajectories, with 3-fold greater decline among those with PI-SBI (compared with no PI-SBI) and normal baseline cognition. This highlights the strong and independent association between subclinical markers and patient-centered trajectories over time. (Source: Stroke)

Polygenic Risk for Depression Increases Risk of Ischemic Stroke [Clinical Sciences]
Conclusions—Higher polygenic risk for major depressive disorder is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke overall and with small artery occlusion. Additional associations with ischemic stroke subtypes differed by ancestry. (Source: Stroke)
