Serum biomarkers to predict hemorrhagic transformation and ischemic stroke outcomes in a prospective cohort study
This study aimed to investigate the potential prognosis role of non-specific laboratory data at admission and baseline MMP-2 and MMP-9 serum levels in predicting HT risk, discharge, and 3-month follow-up status of IS patients. Data from 150 successive acute cerebral infarction patients were analyzed in a prospective cohort study. The active group included patients who developed HT during hospitalization (55 persons). There were no significant differences in age, gender distribution, time to admission, or time to blood sample collection for MMPs measurement between patients in the active and control groups. IS patients from...

Smoking and drinking influence the advancing of ischemic stroke disease by targeting PTGS2 and TNFAIP3.
Authors: Miao Z, Guo M, Zhou S, Sun X, Wang F, Lu H, Cui Z
Abstract
In the present study, we explored the influence of cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking on gene expression level and related functions and pathways on the development of ischemic stroke (IS) disease. The gene expression profile of E-GEOD-22255 was obtained from 20 IS samples (7 patients without smoking or drinking history and 13 patients with smoking or drinking history) and 20 controls (9 normal controls without smoking or drinking history and 11 controls with smoking or drinking history). The correlation degree between gene expression and group...

Sudden bilateral anterior cerebral infarction: unusual stroke associated with unusual vascular anomalies
We describe a 38-year-old male smoker and heavy alcohol user, who awoke with sudden onset of weakness of both lower limbs, and bladder and bowel incontinence. He had consumed excessive amounts of alcohol the previous night. There was no significant past medical history including other vascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease. On admission, he was mute and abulic. The frontal release signs including the forced grasping and the snout reflex were present. Routine full blood count and biochemical analysis were normal. MRI of the brain showed bilateral, nearly symmetrical ACA infarction (figure 1A–C). Time-of-flig...

Cohort profile of the UK Biobank: diagnosis and characteristics of cerebrovascular disease
We described these participants and their medication usage.
Participants
We identified participants who either self-reported or were identified from a nurse-led interview, having suffered a stroke or a TIA and compared them against participants without stroke ort TIA. We assessed their risk factor burden (sex, age, deprivation, waist to hip ratio (WHR), hypertension, smoking, alcohol intake, diabetes, physical exercise and oral contraception use (oral contraceptive pill, OCP)) and medication usage.
Findings to date
We studied 502 650 people (54.41% women), 6669 (1.23%) participants self-reported a stroke. The nurse-...

Vascular Risk Factors, Cardiovascular Disease, and Restless Legs Syndrome in Women
Conclusions:
In this large cohort of female health professionals, various vascular risk factors are associated with the prevalence of restless legs syndrome. We could not confirm the results of previous reports indicating an association between prevalent cardiovascular disease and restless legs syndrome.

Vascular Risk Factors, Cardiovascular Disease, and Restless Legs Syndrome in Men
Conclusions:
The restless legs syndrome prevalence among US male physicians is similar to that of men of the same age group in other western countries. A history of diabetes is the most consistent risk factor associated with restless legs syndrome. Prevalent stroke and myocardial infarction are related to restless legs syndrome prevalence.

Alcohol consumption and risk of cardiovascular outcomes and bleeding in patients with established atrial fibrillation
CMAJ. 2021 Jan 25;193(4):E117-E123. doi: 10.1503/cmaj.200778.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Little is known about the association between alcohol consumption and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with established atrial fibrillation (AF). The main aim of the current study was to investigate the associations of regular alcohol intake with incident stroke or systemic embolism in patients with established AF.METHODS: To assess the association between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular events in patients with established AF, we combined data from 2 comparable prospective cohort studies that followed 3852 patients with AF for ...
