Impact of body mass index on efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack
CMAJ. 2023 Jul 10;195(26):E897-E904. doi: 10.1503/cmaj.230262.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Body mass index (BMI) may affect the response to platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitors. We aimed to explore whether BMI influenced the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor and clopidogrel for secondary prevention of minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) among patients enrolled in the CHANCE-2 (Ticagrelor or Clopidogrel with Aspirin in High-Risk Patients with Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events II) trial.METHODS: In a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, conducted in China, we randomized patients ...

Differences in acute ischaemic stroke in-hospital mortality across referral stroke hospitals in Spain: a retrospective, longitudinal observational study
Conclusions In the referral stroke hospitals of the Spanish National Health System, the overall adjusted in-hospital mortality decreased between 2003 and 2015. However, between-hospital variations in mortality persisted.

Transcranial Doppler Screening for Patent Foramen Ovale Closure in Cryptogenic Strokes in Young: A Single Center Experience from South India
CONCLUSIONS: R-L shunt is common in cryptogenic ischemic strokes in young. TCD with bubble contrast study is a noninvasive and feasible bedside tool to detect them. Applying the ESUS criteria in these cryptogenic strokes with a positive TCD bubble contrast study can be then used for selecting patients for more invasive tests like TEE. High-risk PFOs picked up with TEE can be then considered for PFO closure for secondary stroke prevention. The history of Valsalva maneuver-like activity (such as lifting heavy weights or straining) at the time of stroke onset can be a clinical predictor for the presence of an R-L shunt. In ad...

A Retrospective Observational Study of Neurological Manifestations in COVID-19 (SON-CoV)
Conclusion: CNS symptoms of COVID-19 are more common than PNS symptoms. Stroke is the most frequent (46%) COVID-CNS symptom, which occurs in people of age above 35 years and is associated with high mortality.PMID:37355862 | DOI:10.5005/japi-11001-0107

Stroke Characteristics as Predictors of New-onset Seizure in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: There was no recurrence of seizures in those who defaulted for AED and one patient had a seizure even on AED. Prophylactic AEDs in stroke patients based on stroke characteristics could not be ascertained, but the sample size was small. Knowing the fact that antiepileptics cause sedation and increase the chance of aspiration, continuing AEDs in patients who develop acute symptomatic seizures should be judged judiciously.PMID:37355969 | DOI:10.5005/japi-11001-0160
