Endothelial function and arterial stiffness indexes in subjects with carotid plaque and carotid plaque length: A subgroup analysis showing the relationship with hypertension and diabetes
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability globally. A large proportion of ischemic strokes are caused by carotid atherosclerotic plaques. However, the relationship between vascular health status (arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction) and carotid plaque remains unclear.

Clinical Properties of Regional Thalamic Hemorrhages
Conclusions: In the study, we detected that the most important risk factor in thalamic hemorrhage is hypertension. The prognosis is worse in global and medial group hemorrhages, especially those which rupture to the ventricle, than the other groups. Thalamic lesions cause a variety of symptoms, including forms of aphasia, such as crossed dextral aphasia.

Isolated Body Lateropulsion in a Patient with Pontine Infarction
A 72-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and hypertension was admitted to our hospital with lightheadedness. The patient showed lateropulsion to the right side, but his neurological findings were otherwise normal. Brain magnetic resonance images showed a fresh ischemic infarct in the left dorsal part of the lower pons. Body lateropulsion is characterized by an irresistible falling to one side and has been reported in lesions in several brain regions. However, it has rarely been reported in pontine lesions. We suggest that physicians should be aware that pontine lesions can cause isolated body lateropulsion without other n...

APOE Genotype Modifies the Relationship between Midlife Vascular Risk Factors and Later Cognitive Decline
Conclusions: The present findings revealed a subgroup at increased risk for cognitive decline (APOE ε4 carriers with midlife exposure to vascular risk factors) and suggest that treatment of vascular risk factors during midlife may reduce the risk of cognitive impairment later in life, particularly among APOE ε4 carriers.

Nonaneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage after Udenafil Intake
We report a 67-year-old man who presented with severe headache after taking 50 mg of udenafil, a new phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor. Computed tomographic imaging of the brain revealed a small amount of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage localized around basal cisterns (anterior to midbrain and pons). There were no aneurysms in the cerebral arteries, although vein of Galen stenosis was suspected after magnetic resonance venography. This case anecdotally suggests that phosphodiesterase 5 inhibition might trigger perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage with venous hypertension possibly associated with vein of Galen stenosis.

Retinal Vascular Fractal Dimension Is Associated with Cognitive Dysfunction
This study examined the relationship of retinal vascular fractal dimension and other retinal vascular parameters with cognitive dysfunction in an older Asian population. Subjects aged 60 years and older from the Singapore Malay Eye Study were selected for analysis. Retinal vascular fractal dimension (Df) and other quantitative retinal vascular parameters (branching angle, tortuosity, and caliber) were measured based on a standardized grading protocol from photographs of the retinal fundus using a computer-assisted program. Qualitative retinal signs were also assessed from photographs. Cognitive dysfunction was defined as a...

Hypertension Increases the Risk of Cerebral Microbleed in the Territory of Posterior Cerebral Artery: A Study of the Association of Microbleeds Categorized on a Basis of Vascular Territories and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Conclusions: Hypertension increases the risk of microbleeds in the territory of the posterior cerebral artery and the deep and infratentorial locations. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy may be responsible for the microbleeds in the lobar area of brain.

Intracranial Hemorrhages Related with Warfarin Use and Comparison of Warfarin and Acetylsalicylic Acid
Conclusions: Use of warfarin, low GCS score, opening to ventricle, older age, accompanying diabetes, and/or hypertension were worse prognostic factors. It is possible that patients with these unfavorable prognostic factors cannot survive.

Associations of Durations of Antiplatelet Use and Vascular Risk Factors with the Presence of Cerebral Microbleeds
In conclusion, we found a significant association between aspirin use and deep or infratentorial microbleeds, but this association may reflect the presence of hypertension as a confounding factor.

Brain Response Characteristics Associated with Subclavian Steal Phenomenon
Conclusions: Although we noted low rates of disabling or fatal strokes in patients with SSS, a variety of vascular and neural factors beyond severity of subclavian steal could influence the likelihood of brain damage.

Early Menopause and the Risk of Silent Brain Infarction in Community-Dwelling Elderly Subjects: The Sefuri Brain MRI Study
Our previous study showed that the male predominance of silent brain infarction (SBI) was largely because of higher prevalence of alcohol habit and smoking in men than in women. In the present study, we further conducted an analysis of brain magnetic resonance imaging findings to examine whether early menopause contributes to SBI in community-dwelling subjects. Women were queried as to the age and cause of menopause, the total number of children, and the age at giving birth to her last child. Among 306 female subjects aged 60 years or older, univariate analysis showed that early menopause (total or natural) was significan...

Cerebral Perfusion Change of Venous Hypertension on Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Signals after Operation for Dural Arteriovenous Fistula
We report 1 case of dural AVF with retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage. Cerebral hemodynamics were monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy imaging before, during, and after the 2-stage operative treatment. Preoperative functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) showed an increase in deoxyhemoglobin (HbR) during a motor task. After partial coil embolization of the shunt points (stage 1), HbR increased during the first half of the task and decreased later, whereas oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) decreased in the first half of the task and increased later. After complete embolization (stage 2), fNIRS showed a pattern similar...

Clinical Associations of Cerebral Microbleeds on Magnetic Resonance Neuroimaging
Susceptibility-weighted and gradient-recalled echo T2* magnetic resonance imaging have enabled the detection of very small foci of blood within the brain, which have been termed “cerebral microbleeds.” These petechial intraparenchymal hemorrhages have begun to emerge as diagnostically and prognostically useful markers in a variety of disease states. Severe hypertension and cerebral amyloid angiopathy are perhaps the best established microhemorrhagic conditions from neuroimaging literature; however, many others are also recognized including cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy, subcortical infarcts, and leukoencepha...

Hypertrophic Olivary Degeneration and Cerebrovascular Disease: Movement in a Triangle
We describe 2 cases: unilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration in a 60-year-old man with contralateral athetosis and neurologic worsening developing several years after a pontine hemorrhage and bilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration in a 77-year-old woman with development of palatal tremor, probably secondary to pontine ischemic lesions (small vessel disease).
