Thrombocytopenia: Effect in Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke
CONCLUSION: Acknowledging the impact of both platelet and thrombocytopenia on stroke causation, stroke interventions, and outcomes is a pivotal aspect of comprehensive stroke care. Platelet function processes are impactful in each point of the continuum of stroke care, prevention, intervention, and discharge.PMID:33792271 | DOI:10.1097/DCC.0000000000000471

The Epidemiology and Clinical Associations of Stroke in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A review of 10,972 admissions from the 2012 National Inpatient Sample
Conclusions Patients with AML have an elevated risk of CVA compared to all inpatients and mortality in this population is high. Better characterization of risk factors of stroke in this vulnerable population is still needed. Teaser Acute leukemia predisposes patients toward the development of stroke. The latter, while devastating clinically, has been infrequently studied. Our study, using the 2012 National Inpatient Sample, found a 50-fold increase in the risk of stroke as compared to all inpatient admissions with a corresponding 5.5-fold increased risk of mortality. Significant risk factors for the development of stroke i...

Anticoagulation Resumption After Stroke from Atrial Fibrillation
AbstractThe goal of this paper is to review literature on the topic of anticoagulation resumption after stroke from atrial fibrillation. Following ischemic stroke, the average annual risk of recurrent stroke in a patient with a CHADS2 score of 9 is 12.2%%, translating to an average daily risk of 0.03%%. Oral anticoagulant therapy provides a 75% relative risk reduction. However, in the 2-week period immediately following an acute stroke, this daily risk appears to be elevated. The same period is associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke due to reperfusion, impaired autoregulation, an...

Ischemic Stroke and Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia following COVID-19 Vaccine: A Case Report with Systematic Review of the Literature
Conclusion: Our study points out that, in addition to cerebral venous thrombosis, adenoviral vector-based vaccines also appear to have a cerebral arterial thrombotic risk, and clinicians should be aware that ischemic stroke with LVO, although rare, could represent a clinical presentation of VITT.Cerebrovasc Dis

Ischemic stroke associated with immune thrombocytopenia
The objective of this study was to review all cases in literature in which the clinical manifestations of ischemic stroke and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) were presented in the same patient including a new case of our own and discuss the possible mechanism and management of this syndrome. We reviewed 12 reports in which 18 cases were diagnosed as ischemic stroke and ITP. The clinical manifestations and ischemic lesion patterns of the 18 cases and our new case were analyzed in detail to elucidate the characteristics and management of this kind of syndrome. Of all the cases, 8 females and 10 males, 10 of them were Koreans; ...

Case Report: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever with Ischemic Stroke
We report a case of ischemic stroke in a patient with dengue hemorrhagic fever. A 52-year-old previously healthy male presented with a history of fever for 2 days, and left-sided weakness and numbness of sudden onset. MRI scanning showed a right-sided thalamic lacunar infarct. Diagnosis of dengue fever was made based on leuco-thrombocytopenia, positive dengue nonstructural protein-1 (NS-1) antigen, and positive dengue IgM antibodies. Severity of limb weakness correlated with the critical phase of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). He was discharged home with good recovery from neurological symptoms and disability. Strokes are...

Insights Into Immunothrombotic Mechanisms in Acute Stroke due to Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia
In conclusion, insufficient resolution of NETs, e.g. by endogenous DNases or protection of NETs against degradation by embedded factors like the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 might thus be an important factor in the pathology of VITT besides increased NET-formation. On the basis of these findings, we discuss the potential implications of the mechanisms of disturbed NETs-degradation for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in VITT-related thrombogenesis, other auto-immune disorders and beyond.

Unilateral and bilateral acute pyelonephritis: differences in clinical presentation, progress and outcome
Conclusions Patients with bilateral APN experienced more severe clinical and laboratory manifestations and had a poorer outcome than those with unilateral APN. Early imaging tests can be considered to discriminate unilateral from bilateral APN, especially in those with a history of stroke or diabetes and with a longer duration of symptoms. Moreover, initial use of broader spectrum antibiotics can be considered in patients with bilateral APN.

A Seeming Paradox: Ischemic Stroke in the Context of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Nowadays, we have a relatively sophisticated standard approach to a patient with acute ischemic stroke, including the sequence of diagnostic methods and treatment modalities. In practice, however, we are occasionally confronted with a patient whose medical history or comorbidities force us to make a decision without the support of guidelines. One such situation is the occurrence of acute ischemic stroke in a patient with known idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, where a tendency to use thrombolysis, anticoagulants, or antiplatelet agents collides with the fear of life-threatening bleeding. In this review, we try to outlin...
