Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Stroke: A Mendelian Randomization Study
CONCLUSION: This study suggested that the potential causal effect of NAFLD on ischemic stroke may be confined to the LAA and SVO subtypes.PMID:35147274 | DOI:10.1111/ene.15277

Genetic loci, rs17817449 and rs6567160, known for obesity and the risk of stroke events among middle-aged and older Chinese people
ConclusionThe G allele of rs17817449 at the FTO, not rs6567160 at the MC4R, was associated with a decreased risk of fatal stroke occurrence; its functional role in stroke should be explored in relatively healthy middle-aged to older Chinese people.

Clinical features in liver cirrhosis patients who have experienced ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Our results show that a comparatively high frequency of ischemic stroke occurs in patients with alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis and in patients with a less compromised liver function. In addition, it was found that most patients possessed at least one risk factor of ischemic stroke. PMID: 25599784 [PubMed - in process]

The Nutraceutical Potential of Omega-3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid in Reducing the Consequences of Stroke.
Abstract Stroke is a worldwide major cause of mortality and morbidity. Preclinical studies have identified over 1000 molecules with brain-protective properties. More than 200 clinical trials have evaluated neuroprotective candidates for ischemic stroke yet, to date almost all failed, leading to a re-analysis of treatment strategies against stroke. An emerging view is to seek combinatory therapy, or discovering molecules able to stimulate multiple protective and regenerative mechanisms. A pertinent experimental approach to identify such candidates is the study of brain preconditioning, which refers to how the brain...

Prognostic significance of homocysteine levels in acute ischemic stroke: A prospective cohort study.
Abstract Associations between hyperhomocysteinemia and prognosis of stroke were seldom explored and always indefinite. We therefore performed a study to elucidate the relationship between homocysteine levels and stroke prognosis. Between 2008 and 2013, baseline data and blood samples of acute ischemic stroke patients were collected from the Henan Province Stroke Registry. Using a prospective cohort, scheduled follow-up, and multivariable logistic regression analysis, associations among the blood homocysteine level and acute neurological impairment and outcomes, stroke recurrence, and all-cause death were investiga...

Association of Gallbladder Polyp and Stroke: A Nationwide, Population-Based Study
Abstract: Gallbladder polyp (GP) and stroke share several metabolic disorders as risk factors. We assessed the association between GP and subsequent stroke risk. From 2000 to 2011, patients with GP aged>20 years were identified from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000. Of the 15,975 examined patients, 12,780 and 3195 were categorized into the non-GP and GP cohorts, respectively. The relative risks of stroke were estimated using the Cox proportional hazard model after adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities. The overall incidence of stroke was higher in the GP cohort than in the non-GP cohort (6.66 vs 5.20/100...

A comparison of risk factors and prognosis between intra and extracranial acute atherosclerotic stroke in the Turkish population: a prospective study.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of risk factors differs between ICAS and ECAS, and their influence differs for stroke severity and prognosis. PMID: 27477568 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Atrial Fibrillation is Strongly Associated With the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Retrospective Study
ConclusionWe confirmed that the atrial fibrillation can be a predictor of high NLR in acute stroke patients, and diabetes mellitus as well as low BMI could be a predictor of high NLR in female acute ischemic stroke patients.

Abstract 111: Depression as a Risk Factor for Incident Ischemic Stroke Among HIV-infected Veterans Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusions: In the VACS, MDD was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in HIV+ veterans after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, traditional cerebrovascular risk factors, and HIV factors; however, this association was modestly attenuated after adjustment for cocaine and alcohol abuse/dependence. Future research is necessary to: (a) fully elucidate the relationships among MDD, cocaine/alcohol use, and stroke risk and (b) determine whether intervening on MDD reduces stroke risk in HIV+ and HIV- people. Clinical providers should be aware of the increased stroke risk among HIV+ adults with MDD.

Determinants of dysphagia following stroke
Conclusions:Among 15 factors evaluated, age, type of lesion and Brunnstrom ’s stages showed a significant association with the severity of dysphagia following stroke. This study advocates early dysphagia management for elderly patients with high Brunnstrom’s grading, for those who are not expected to spontaneously recover following stroke, and for earlier and better co mmunity rehabilitation. [Ethiop.J. Health Dev. 2019; 33(3):147-152]Key words: Post-stroke dysphagia, Brunnstrom ’s stages, dysphagia risk factors.

Association of Gut Microbiota-Dependent Metabolite Trimethylamine N-Oxide with First Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested a positive association between plasma TMAO and ischemic stroke. Further studies are required to explore the role of plasma TMAO concentrations in predicting stroke risk. PMID: 32641646 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk factors for early –onset seizures after stroke: A systematicreview and meta‐analysis of 18 observational studies
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that cortical involvement, intracerebral hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction with hemorrhagic transformation are important predictors and risk factors for early seizures after stroke, while the patient's gender, age, NHISS score, alcoholism, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, receiving surgical treatment, and reperfusion therapy showed no association with the occurrence of early ‐onset seizures after stroke.

Risk factors predisposing to acute stroke in India: a prospective study
Conclusion: The foremost risk factors for stroke in India, hypertension and diabetes, need to be controlled and treated like other global high-risk populations for stroke prevention. The NIHSS scores highlight the relationship between risk factors and stroke severity.
