Predictors of In-hospital Mortality and the Risk of Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage after Thrombolytic Therapy with Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Acute Ischemic Stroke
This study aimed to determine the independent predictors of in-hospital mortality (IHM) and the risk of sICH after rt-PA therapy. A total of 1007 patients (mean age, 72 ± 12 years; 52% women; mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score, 11.6 ± 5.6) with AIS treated with rt-PA were enrolled in this study during a 42-month period beginning in November 2007. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to estimate the predictors of IHM. Eighty-three of the 1007 patients (8.2%) died during hospitalization (mean duration of hospitalization, 10 ± 1.8 days). Logistic regression estimated the...

The Impact of Atherosclerotic Factors on Cerebral Aneurysm Is Location Dependent: Aneurysms in Stroke Patients and Healthy Controls
This study included consecutive 283 asymptomatic healthy adults and 173 acute stroke patients, from patients diagnosed with acute cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction and admitted to our hospital. The incidence, maximum diameter, and location of UIAs were evaluated, and we also investigated the following factors: age, gender, current smoking, HT, diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia. UIAs were found in 19 of the total 456 subjects (4.2%), 11 of 283 healthy subjects (3.9%), and 8 of 173 stroke patients (4.6%). These differences are not statically significant. The incidence of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms...

High Morning and Bedtime Home Blood Pressures Strongly Predict for Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment
Hypertension may be the most modifiable risk factor for post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). We investigated how home blood pressure (HBP) can predict PSCI as well as stroke recurrence.

The Association between Changes in Behavioral Risk Factors for Stroke and Changes in Blood Pressure
High blood pressure (BP) is the leading risk factor for stroke. Data on the association of physical activity (PA), fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption, and dietary sodium with hypertension are lacking in Hispanic communities. In the current report, we provide data on the association between changes in these stroke behavioral risk factors and BP change.

Smoking, Hypertension, and Their Combined Effect on Ischemic Stroke Incidence: A Prospective Study among Inner Mongolians in China: Methodological and Statistical Issues
We read the study conducted by Huangfu et al that was published in the Journal of Stroke& Cerebrovascular Diseases enthusiastically and meticulously.1 The authors tried to examine the combined effect of smoking and hypertension on ischemic stroke incidence over a 10-year follow-up among Inner Mongolians in China. The article provides interesting results; however, we think some methodological issues should be considered to avoid misinterpretation.

Reduction of Nicardipine-Related Phlebitis in Patients with Acute Stroke by Diluting Its Concentration
Nicardipine is frequently used in the treatment of hypertension for patients with acute stroke; however, its dosing is complicated by a high risk of phlebitis. In the present study, we examined whether restricting nicardipine concentration under a specific value could reduce the incidence of nicardipine-related phlebitis in patients with acute stroke.

Nationwide Healthcare Expenditures among Hypertensive Individuals with Stroke: 2003-2014
Of all the various clinical entities, hypertension is arguably most strongly linked to the occurrence of stroke. However, the impact of stroke on health-care expenditures in patients with hypertension has not been previously evaluated.

Cortical Hand Knob Stroke: Report of 25 Cases
Although uncommon, cortical hand knob territory stroke is a well-defined stroke entity that mimics peripheral nerve damage. Atherosclerosis and hypertension are the most prevalent risk factors for the disease. Embolic origin, either artery-to-artery or cardioembolic, has been suggested as the most probable underlying mechanism.

The Contribution of Vascular Risk Factors in Prevalence of Fatigue Four Years Following Stroke: Results from a Population-Based Study
Fatigue is a debilitating symptom after stroke, which may persist for many years. Survivors of stroke commonly have comorbid medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus that may produce fatigue by themselves. The contribution of vascular and other risk factors on long-term poststroke fatigue (PSF) has not been sufficiently investigated at a population-based level.
