Case Report: Late Successful Thrombectomy for Ischemic Stroke in a 2-Year-Old Child
We describe hereafter the case of a 2-year-old female child who had a successful thrombectomy 9 h after stroke onset. The patient presented with right hemiplegia, central facial palsy, a normal level of consciousness, and speech difficulties. The PedNIHS score was 11. CT scan without contrast injection displayed spontaneous hyperdensity of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), with only limited early signs of ischemia (ASPECTS 8). CT angiography demonstrated occlusion of the proximal MCA with good collaterals. Thrombectomy was realized. Complete recanalization (TICI 3) was obtained under general anesthesia after two passes of ...

Neurologic Complications of Poverty: the Associations Between Poverty as a Social Determinant of Health and Adverse Neurologic Outcomes
This study summarizes the recent literature on poverty as it contributes to neurological disease.RECENT FINDINGS: Children growing up in poverty have increased risk for cognitive deficits and behavioral disorders as reported by Noble et al. (Dev Sci. 9(6):642-54, 2006) and Farah et al. (Brain Res. 1110(1):166-74, 2006) as well as worse outcomes when it comes to epilepsy management and disease course as discussed by Camfield et al. (Epilepsia. 57(11):1826-33, 2016). In adulthood, as the number of social determinants of health increases, the incidence of stroke and severe stroke increases significantly as reported by Reshetn...

Effect of rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis on the prognosis of patients with minor ischemic stroke
Conclusion: Patients with MIS received intravenous thrombolysis may be associated with earlier neurological improvement, but might has no significant effect on long-term prognosis. The level of neutrophil ratio and CRP at admission are risk factors determining the prognosis, which requires further research.PMID:33847231 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2021.1908672

Higher Mortality of Ischaemic Stroke Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19 Compared to Historical Controls
Conclusions: Ischaemic stroke patients with COVID-19 had significantly higher 60-day all-cause mortality compared to propensity score-matched historical controls (ischaemic stroke patients without COVID-19).Cerebrovasc Dis

Motor Function and Activities of Daily Living Recovery after Cardiogenic Internal Carotid Artery Infarction: A Retrospective Cohort study
Although the incidence of cerebral infarction is decreasing worldwide, strokes still occur, and the absolute number of people who die of or from stroke is increasing.1 Clinically, cerebral infarction is classified into cardiogenic, atherosclerotic, lacunar, and other undetermined subtypes.2 As cardiogenic infarction is likely to be associated with a poor prognosis due to heart disease comorbidity,3 its severity is believed to be greater than that of atherosclerotic infarction.4

Clinical and Radiological Characteristics of Acute Cerebrovascular Diseases Among Egyptian Patients With COVID-19 in Upper Egypt
Conclusion: Acute CVD among patients with COVID-19 was common in our study. LVO was the commonest. Hypertension, IHD, and anemia are the most common risk factors and could contribute to the worsening of clinical presentation. Comorbidities were common among patients with CVD, although a large number had elevated liver enzymes and creatinine that were partially due to COVID-19 infection itself. The current results begin to characterize the spectrum of CVD associated with COVID-19 in patients in Upper Egypt.Registration ID: The ID number of this study is IRB no: 17300470.

Trimethylamine-N-Oxide Levels Are Similar in Asymptomatic vs. Symptomatic Cerebrovascular Atherosclerosis
Conclusion: TMAO levels could not be used to differentiate between symptomatic and asymptomatic cerebrovascular disease in our study.

Cardiovascular disease risk, awareness, and treatment in people with epilepsy
CONCLUSIONS: Participants with epilepsy had increased ASCVD risk, despite similar or better awareness, treatment, and control of individual risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension. Our results suggest that epilepsy is associated with numerous health behaviors leading to cardiovascular disease, though the causal pathway is complex as these variables (income, depression, diet, exercise, smoking) generally served as confounders rather than mediators.PMID:33690068 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2021.107878

CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Associated with First-Time Ischemic Stroke in Non-surgical Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis During Clopidogrel Therapy
This study measures effect ofCYP2C19 genotype on ischemic stroke risk during clopidogrel therapy for asymptomatic, extracranial carotid stenosis patients. Using deidentified electronic health records, patients were selected for retrospective cohort using administrative code for carotid stenosis, availability ofCYP2C19 genotype result, clopidogrel exposure, and established patient care. Patients with intracranial atherosclerosis, aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, prior ischemic stroke, or observation time<1 month were excluded. Dual antiplatelet therapy patients were included. Patients with carotid endarterectomy or ...

Early neurological deterioration in cardiogenic cerebral embolism due to nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Predisposing factors and clinical implications
ConclusionsOf the potential predisposing factors considered, increased cystatin C and PLR were associated with END within 3 days of CCE, and a decreased LMR may have predictive value for HT in CCE patients.
