The Impact of Diabetes on Outcomes After Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Observational Study
Background: Stroke in diabetics may delay recovery and increases the risk of early recurrence of stroke. We compared the outcomes of patients (with and without diabetes) admitted with an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the state of Qatar. Patients and methods: We prospectively compared the clinical presentation, complications, discharge outcome, and stroke recurrence at 90 days in patients with and without diabetes. Results: Five thousand two hundred twenty-eight stroke patients were admitted between January 2014 and December 2017.

Serum Troponin Level in Acute Ischemic Stroke Identifies Patients with Visceral Infarcts
Background and Purpose: Patients with ischemic stroke of cardioembolic origin are at risk of visceral (renal or splenic) infarction. We hypothesized that serum troponin level at time of ischemic stroke would be associated with presence of visceral infarction. Methods: Data were abstracted from a single center prospective stroke database over 18 months and included all patients with ischemic stroke who underwent contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis for clinical purposes within 1 year of stroke.

Leukoaraiosis Predicts Short-term Cognitive But not Motor Recovery in Ischemic Stroke Patients During Rehabilitation
Background: Leukoaraiosis has been shown to impact functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke. However, its association with domain specific recovery after ischemic stroke is uncertain. We sought to determine whether pre-existing leukoaraiosis is associated with short-term motor and cognitive recovery after stroke. Methods: We retrospectively studied ischemic stroke patients admitted to acute inpatient rehabilitation (AIR) between January 2013 and September 2015. Patient baseline characteristics, infarct volume, prestroke modified Rankin Scale, stroke cause, rehabilitation length of stay, and Functional Independence M...

Total Antioxidant Capacity Predicts Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke Subtypes in Egyptian Patients
Background: Oxidative stress after ischemic stroke contributes to neuronal cell injury. We tried to demonstrate an association between total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels and outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: We enrolled 60 patients (36 females and 24 males) who were admitted to our hospital due to AIS, in addition to 30 age and sex-matched healthy controls. TAC levels were measured on day 1 of stroke onset, the relationships between TAC levels, stroke subtypes, and clinical outcomes based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and modified Rankin scale upon discharge were evaluated.

Co-Effect of Serum Galectin-3 and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol on the Prognosis of Acute Ischemic Stroke
This study aimed to evaluate the coeffect of galectin-3 and HDL-C on death and vascular events within 1 year after ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: Based on China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke, a prospective study was conducted among 2970 patients with acute ischemic stroke. The primary outcome was a combination of death and vascular events within 1 year after ischemic stroke.

High Detection Rate of Atrial Fibrillation With Insertable Cardiac Monitor Implantation in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke Diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background: Detection and treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major goal in preventing secondary stroke. Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) are available for diagnosis of arrhythmia monitoring in patients with cryptogenic stroke. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based diagnostic evaluation for acute ischemic stroke subtype classification is common in Japan and can be useful for specific diagnosis of cryptogenic stroke. Purpose: We aimed to investigate the detection rate of AF with an ICM in patients with cryptogenic stroke who were diagnosed by MRI.

A Narrative Review of Nonvitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant Use in Secondary Stroke Prevention
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, increases with age, predisposing elderly patients to an increased risk of embolic stroke. With an increasingly aged population the number of people who experience a stroke every year, overall global burden of stroke, and numbers of stroke survivors and related deaths continue to increase. Anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) reduces the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with AF; however, increased bleeding risk is well documented, particularly in the elderly.

Comment on: External Validation of the PREMISE Score in the Athens Stroke Registry
This study externally validated our proposed predicting early mortality from ischemic stroke (PREMISE) score, derived from the nationwide Austrian Stroke Unit registry.2 While we feel obliged to point out that the original PREMISE score publication2 was incorrectly referenced3 by Ntaios et al, it is reassuring that the authors confirmed prognostic accuracy (with excellent calibration and good discrimination) of the PREMISE score as an instrument for predicting early (within one week after admission) death after ischemic stroke in 2608 patients from the Athens Stroke Unit registry.

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) = 437.116...

Assessing executive function following the early stage of mild Ischemic stroke with three brief screening tests
Stroke, as the main disabling disease around the world, brings heavy economic and social burden to all countries, including China, an aging country.1 Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), one of the most “invisible disabilities”, is common among stroke survivors and can have a significant effect upon a patient's quality of life.2,3 Among stroke patients, the prevalence of PSCI is 81.4% and cognitive impairment in post-stroke patients manifests in various cognitive domains, with executive functio n being the most common.

Combined polymorphisms in genes encoding the inflammasome components NLRP3 and CARD8 confer risk of ischemic stroke in men
Stroke is a common medical emergency with high mortality. There are two types of stroke, namely, hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke (IS), and 85 –90% of stroke cases are ischemic. Studies have confirmed that the nucleotide-binding domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome may be involved in activating the inflammation and pathophysiology of atherosclerosis as well as in mediating inflammatory injury during cerebral ischemia .1

Predictors of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Population-based Study
Each year, approximately 0.8 million people are estimated to experience a new or recurrent stroke, according to the 2019 report of the American Heart Association.1 In Malaysia, stroke is the third leading cause of death after ischemic heart disease (IHD) and pneumonia.2 Both obesity and diabetes are considered as the established independent risk factors for ischemic stroke.3 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was also found to be associated with an increase in all-cause as well as cardiovascular mortality following the stroke,4,5 and in a meta-analysis of 18 studies, patients with diabetes had a higher stroke recurrence as co...
