Clinical Utility of the Inflammatory Factors Combined With Lipid Markers in the Diagnostic and Prognostic Assessment of Ischemic Stroke: Based on Logistic Regression Models
In this study, we developed novel logistic regression models for the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 288 ischemic stroke patients and 300 controls admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were included in the testing group. Two validation groups from The Affiliated Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University and The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were included to assess our novel assessment models. Results: Results from the testing group indicated that the diagnostic assessment model for ischemic stroke prediction was: Logit(P)  = 437.116â...

Trends in the Incidence of Stroke and Cardiovascular Risk Factors on the Isolated Island of Okinawa: The Miyakojima Study
Conclusions: In Miyakojima, the incidence of first-time stroke and all of its subtypes did not change significantly between two periods, even though blood pressure decreased significantly in the second period. Metabolic deterioration may be associated with the upward trend in incidence of brain infarction.

Long-term Adherence to National Guidelines for Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study in a Public Hospital in Chile
Conclusions: The observed significant decrease in adherence to oral anticoagulation in patients with cardioembolic stroke suggests a need for the implementation of specific strategies to achieve the desired secondary prevention goals in these patients. Future research into the evaluation of other factors that could be associated with the lack of adherence to these guidelines, measurements of therapeutic goals, and new therapeutic strategies that are easier to use and that are associated with less risk could improve the prognosis of these patients.

The Role of Classic Risk Factors and Prothrombotic Factor Gene Mutations in Ischemic Stroke Risk Development in Young and Middle-Aged Individuals
Background: In young individuals, a genetically predisposing hypercoagulability and classic modifying risk factors can act synergistically on the ischemic stroke risk development. The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence of classic vascular risk factors and polymorphisms of the G20210A coagulation factor II (prothrombin), Arg506Glu coagulation factor V Leiden, C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and 4G/5G plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and the impact of these gene mutations and classic vascular risk factors on the overall stroke risk in individuals aged 55 years or younger.Methods: The s...

More Than 8 Hours Of Sleep Linked To Increased Stroke Risk
BOSTON (CBS) – Could getting more than eight hours of sleep a night be a bad thing? Many of us are lucky to get that much, but if we do, Dr. Mallika Marshall says it might be a warning sign for stroke. The National Sleep Foundation says adults between the ages of 18 and 64 should get seven to nine hours of sleep a night, but a new study from the University of Cambridge looked at more than 9,000 middle-aged and older adults and found that those who slept for more than eight hours a night were 46% more likely to have a stroke over the nine and a half years than people who slept six to eight hours a night. It may be tha...

Acute stroke chameleons in a university hospital: Risk factors, circumstances, and outcomes
Conclusions: AIS are missed in patients with younger age with a lower cerebrovascular risk profile and may be masked by other acute conditions. Patients with chameleons present more often with milder strokes or coma, fewer focal signs and cerebellar strokes, and have higher disability and mortality rates at 12 months. These findings may be used to raise awareness in emergency departments to recognize and treat such patients appropriately.

Lacunar Infarcts and Intracerebral Hemorrhage Differences Brief Report
Background and Purpose—Lacunar stroke (LS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are 2 diverse manifestations of small vessel disease. What predisposes some patients to ischemic stroke and others to hemorrhage is not well understood.Methods—We performed a nested case–control study within the FHS (Framingham Heart Study) comparing people with incident ICH and lacunar ischemic stroke, to age- and sex-matched controls for baseline prevalence and levels of cardiovascular risk factors.Results—We identified 118 LS (mean age 74 years, 51% male) and 108 ICH (75 years, 46% male) events. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking...

Statin Therapy in Ischemic Stroke Models: A Meta-Analysis
AbstractStatins, drugs known for lipid lowering capabilities and reduction of cardiovascular disease, have demonstrated neuroprotective effects following ischemic stroke in retrospective clinical and animal studies. However, dosing (methods, time, type of statin, and quantity) varies across studies, limiting the clinical applicability of these findings. Furthermore, a comprehensive review of statins in edema and blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown is needed to provide insight on diverse, less explored neuroprotective effects. In the present study, we conduct a meta-analysis of publications evaluating statin administration ...
