Bm-12 * cerebral infarction secondary to pulmonary vein compression and left atrial appendage tumor infiltration as the presenting sign of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue
CONCLUSION: Cardiac metastases are rare and non-myxomatous tumor embolization to the brain even rarer especially in the setting of cerebral infarction due to pulmonary vein thrombus. Here we describe a case of multiple acute cerebral infarctions appearing from a proximal source refractory to anticoagulation. Thromboembolism from the pulmonary vein and tumor embolization from cardiac metastases are the likely mechanisms for his clinical presentation and radiographic findings. This case demonstrates the complexity of multiple stroke etiologies in one patient and the importance of cardiac imaging in stroke evaluation, particu...

This Vitamin Can Save Your Brain
Your brain has amazing abilities. And it can heal itself.
That’s not something you’re likely to hear from mainstream medicine — especially if you or a loved one suffer from the effects of stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or another form of dementia.
Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I’ve seen many people with brain damage. And, sadly, most have been deemed “hopeless” by so-called medical experts.
But I can tell you there is nothing hopeless about dementia — no matter what its cause. With the right nutrients, there are times when brain damage can be reversed.
And now recent research from...

Anticoagulant Agents for Atrial Fibrillation in Cancer Patients
In a recent article in the journal, Patell et al1 found CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75, diabetes mellitus, prior stroke/transient ischemic attack/thromboembolism) and CHA2DS2VASC (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75, diabetes mellitus, prior stroke/transient ischemic attack/thromboembolism, vascular disease, age 65-74, sex category [i.e., female]) to predict risk of ischemic stroke in cancer patients with baseline atrial fibrillation (AF). Although only 36% of patients received anticoagulant therapy, the risk of stroke generally appeared to be lower than in cancer-free individuals.

Neurovascular Manifestations of Iron-Deficient Anemia: Narrative Review and Practical Reflections through a Teaching Case
Conclusions: IDA is a common but treatable condition that, independently or synergically, may increase the risk of thrombotic events. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach has not yet been defined, and each case should be individually addressed in a pragmatic clinical road map.PMID:36294407 | DOI:10.3390/jcm11206088

HRT optimization, using transdermal estradiol plus micronized progesterone, a safer HRT.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains the gold standard for treatment of climacteric symptoms in menopausal women; it is relatively safe in healthy subjects for at least 5 years, provided it had been initiated before the age of 60 years and/or within 10 years from menopause. Estrogen probably adds some cardioprotection, that can, however, be obscured by progestogens, especially medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). Oral HRT is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), gallbladder disease and possibly stroke. The increased occurrence of all these events can be prevented b...

The impact of smoking on thromboembolism and mortality in patients with incident atrial fibrillation: insights from the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health study.
CONCLUSIONS Smoking is associated with a higher risk of thromboembolism or death in patients with AF even after adjusting for well-recognised risk factors used in stroke risk stratification schemes. The associations may be modified by sex, as the associations were strongest among women.

Hormone Therapy in Women After Heart Transplantation
Conclusions: HT is not associated with poor outcome or adverse effects in female heart transplant patients after age 35 years. However, a larger cohort of patients is necessary to confirm these observations.

Scan could detect those on brink of heart attack
Conclusion
This is a valuable study which shows the promise of using PET-CT with radioactively labelled sodium fluoride (NaF) as a way of identifying fatty deposits in the heart arteries that could be at risk of rupturing and causing a heart attack. The results confirmed that the marker used in this study (NaF) was better than the chemical marker normally used in PET-CT scans (FDG).
The technique has the principal value of being a non-invasive technique compared with coronary angiography, which is the standard method used to look at blockages in heart arteries. As it does not involve surgical intervention, this could ha...

Middle cerebral artery infarction in a cancer patient: a fatal case of Trousseau's syndrome.
This report describes a young, previously healthy man diagnosed to have an acute middle cerebral arterial ischaemic stroke and lower-limb deep vein thrombosis, who subsequently succumbed to pulmonary arterial embolism. During the course of his illness, he was diagnosed to have a malignant pleural effusion secondary to an occult adenocarcinoma. This report highlights the need for a high degree of suspicion for occult malignancy and non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis in young (<60 years old) ischaemic stroke patients with no identifiable conventional cardiovascular risks. In selected patients, transoesophageal echocard...

Current recommendations: what is the clinician to do?
Menopausal hormone therapy (HT) has complex biologic effects but continues to have an important clinical role in the management of vasomotor and other menopausal symptoms. The rational use of menopausal HT requires balancing the potential benefits and risks of treatment. Findings from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and other randomized clinical trials have helped to clarify the benefits and risks of HT and have provided insights to improve decision making. Several clinical characteristics have utility in identifying women for whom benefits of HT are likely to outweigh the risks. Age and time since menopause are strong...
