Dynamic changes of carotid atherosclerosis and their relations with stroke recurrence in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack
CONCLUSION: Plaque progression occurred in 46% of stroke or TIA patients. Plaque progression was significantly associated with clinical stroke recurrence. Plaque regressed in 6.5% of patients. Patients with regression were younger than those without.PMID:35996235 | DOI:10.2174/1567202619666220822141804

Forty-four-year longitudinal study of stroke incidence and risk factors - the Prospective Population Study of Women in Gothenburg
CONCLUSIONS: Several classic risk factors showed independent associations with stroke. Vulnerability factors as low education and oral health, reflected by loss of teeth, also showed association with stroke. All these factors are possible to target in primary care preventive interventions.Key PointsStroke is a common disease and the risk of stroke is a key issue demanding preventive strategies in primary health care. The present prospective population study of women showsOut of 1460 women, almost a quarter got a stroke. The stroke incidence 60-82 years of age was rather stable between the first four age cohorts but somewha...

A woman in her sixties with epilepsy and syncope
Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen. 2022 Jan 24;142(2). doi: 10.4045/tidsskr.21.0152. Print 2022 Feb 1.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: A woman in her sixties had been diagnosed with generalised epilepsy twenty years earlier. The diagnosis was confirmed by EEG, and an MRI scan revealed hippocampal sclerosis, which is not uncommon in patients with epilepsy. Treatment with carbamazepine was initiated.CASE PRESENTATION: Due to a rise in the patient's cholesterol, carbamazepine was replaced with oxcarbazepine. At a follow-up, the patient reported a recent episode with loss of consciousness. Unstable epilepsy was suspected and the oxcarbazepine dose in...
