In-Hospital Stroke Recurrence and Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack: Frequency and Risk Factors Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In-hospital stroke recurrence was low with optimal current management. Patients with a history of TIA, severe symptomatic carotid stenosis, or uncommon causes of stroke were at higher risk. Pneumonia was associated with a higher risk of stroke recurrence in patients with initial TIA or minor stroke but not in the overall population studied. Aphasia may bias the detection rate by concealing new neurological symptoms.

Clinical Characteristics and Analysis of Lung Cancer- Associated Acute Ischemic Stroke
The incidence of lung cancer and acute ischemic stroke remains high in recent years, both of which occur mostly in people over 60 years old. In the present study, we aimed to further clarify the pathogenesis of lung cancer-associated acute ischemic stroke (LCA-AIS) by comparing and analyzing clinical characteristics of stroke patients with or without lung cancer.

Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Pulmonary Lobectomy in Patients With Lung Cancer: A Report of Four Cases and Literature Review
Postoperative cerebral embolic stroke is a serious complication of pulmonary lobectomy, occurring in 1.1% of patients undergoing lobectomy through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The mechanism of this complication is thought to be embolic stroke caused by thrombus formed due to stagnation in the pulmonary vein stump after VATS lobectomy. There have been few reports demonstrating the utility of endovascular treatment (EVT) for cerebral embolic stroke after VATS lobectomy.

Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in a Patient with the Trousseau Syndrome Treated with Dabigatran
A 70-year-old man with multiple ischemic strokes was diagnosed with cardiac embolism and treated with dabigatran. Three months later, he suddenly developed vertigo and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging, showed recurrent lesions and blood tests revealed hypercoagulability, hypoproteinemia, and elevated cytokeratin 19 fragments that serve as a tumor marker of lung cancer. Chest computed tomography showed there were small nodules in bilateral lungs and swollen mediastinal lymph nodes. A conclusive diagnosis was impossible because the patient declined invasive procedures. We suspected primary lung cancer and diagnosed conco...

Cancer-Associated Stroke: The Bergen NORSTROKE Study
Background: Underlying malignancy can cause ischemic stroke in some patients. Mechanisms include the affection of the coagulation cascade, tumor mucin secretion, infections and nonbacterial endocarditis. The release of necrotizing factor and interleukins may cause inflammation of the endothelial lining, creating a prothrombotic surface that triggers thromboembolic events, including stroke. The aims of this study were to assess the occurrence of cancer in patients who had recently suffered an ischemic stroke and to detect possible associations between stroke and cancer subtypes. Methods: All ischemic stroke patients registe...

Clinical presentation and imaging characteristics of occult lung cancer associated ischemic stroke
Publication date: February 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 22, Issue 2 Author(s): Hui Mai , Jun Xia , Yongjun Wu , Junlong Ke , Junliang Li , Jiangang Pan , Wubiao Chen , Yiming Shao , Zhi Yang , Saihua Luo , Yonghua Sun , Bin Zhao , Longxuan Li We investigated the clinical and imaging characteristics of initial and recurrent strokes in patients with occult lung cancer associated ischemic stroke (OLCA-stroke). A retrospective review of all ischemic stroke patients with occult lung cancer in the absence of conventional stroke etiologies between 2005 and 2013 was conducted. We compared the initial and ...

Predictors of mortality and disability in stroke-associated pneumonia
AbstractWhilst stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is common and associated with poor outcomes, less is known about the determinants of these adverse clinical outcomes in SAP. To identify the factors that influence mortality and morbidity in SAP. Data for patients with SAP (n = 854) were extracted from a regional Hospital Stroke Register in Norfolk, UK (2003–2015). SAP was defined as pneumonia occurring within 7 days of admission by the treating clinicians. Mutlivariable regression models were constructed to assess factors influencing survival and the level of di sability at discharge using modified Rankin Scale [mRS]...

d-dimer and diffusion-weighted imaging pattern as two diagnostic indicators for cancer-related stroke: A case–control study based on the STROBE guidelines
The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors and elucidate the clinical characteristics of cancer-associated ischemic stroke to differentiate it from conventional ischemic stroke in China and East Asia. Between June 2012 and June 2016, a retrospective analysis was performed on 609 stroke patients with cancer. They were divided into 3 groups: cancer-stroke group (CSG, 203 cases), stroke group (SG, 203 cases), and cancer group (CG, 203 cases). The d-dimer levels and diffusion-weighted imaging lesion (DWI) pattern were compared to an age- and sex-matched control group. The most common cancer types were colorectal ca...

A Case of Perioperative Stroke Caused by Tumour Embolus. (P6.244)
CONCLUSIONS: Tumour embolism has previously been described with primary and secondary lung neoplasms, as well as cardiac tumours. Although rare, this should be considered as a potential cause of perioperative stroke in patients after cancer surgery.Study Supported by: Non-applicable.Disclosure: Dr. Hughes has nothing to disclose.

Cryptotanshinone possesses therapeutic effects on ischaemic stroke through regulating STAT5 in a rat model
CONCLUSION: Our findings not only enhance the understanding of the mechanisms underlying CT treatment, but also indicate its potential value as a promising agent in the treatment of ischaemic stroke. Further study will be valuable to examine the effects of CT on patients with ischaemic stroke.PMID:33915069 | DOI:10.1080/13880209.2021.1914672

Short ‐term outcomes in patients with lung cancer‐associated acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionIn this study, we have identified three independent risk factors associated with poor short-term outcomes in pLCAIS: higher NC, CRP, and D-dimer levels. These findings may be helpful for clinicians in identifying poor short-term outcomes patients.
