Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Recent Trends from the Fukuoka Stroke Registry
Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage is a potentially serious complication of acute stroke, but its incidence appears to be decreasing. The aim of this study was to elucidate the etiology of GI bleeding and its impact on clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke in recent years. Methods: Using the database of the Fukuoka Stroke Registry, 6,529 patients with acute ischemic stroke registered between June 2007 and December 2012 were included in this study. We recorded clinical data including any previous history of peptic ulcer, prestroke drug history including the use of antiplatelets, anticoagulants, ...

The Way Forward: Challenges and Opportunities in Pediatric Stroke
The past two decades have seen a remarkable increase in publications on pediatric stroke, reflecting increased awareness of its impact on childhood health. The results of the Stroke Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell Anemia (STOP), published in 1998, which showed that chronic blood transfusion decreased the risk of stroke in high risk children with sickle cell anemia by 92%, revolutionized the care of children with sickle cell anemia 1 and highlighted the importance of primary stroke prevention. Surgical revascularization is used increasingly to decrease the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in children with moyamoya ce...

Ischemic Stroke Related to Severe Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Adults May Benefit from Blood Transfusion (P01.232)
CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of IDA is 1-20%; it is 3.9% in our AIS population and is often related to untreated uterine bleeding. As described in the pediatric population, severe IDA may be an underlying mechanism of ischemic stroke in adults, therefore, efforts must be undertaken to identify and treat the cause of the anemia. While patients with AIS and severe IDA may receive TPA, blood transfusion may be considered as an adjuvant therapy.Supported by: SPOTRIAS P50 NS044227 & NIH Training Grant 5T 32NS0077412-12.Disclosure: Dr. Choi has nothing to disclose.

Effect of tirofiban in treating patients with progressive ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Tirofiban combined with conventional basic treatment can greatly improve neurological deficits and disease outcomes, alleviate platelet adhesion, and reduce platelet activation without increasing the risk of hemorrhage in PIS patients.PMID:35363359 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202203_28357
