Low Hemoglobin Levels are Associated with Sarcopenia, Dysphagia, and Adverse Rehabilitation Outcomes After Stroke
Anemia and sarcopenia are common concern in geriatric care. There is extensive evidence of an association between adverse health outcomes and anemia.1 –3 Anemia has been associated with poor physical performance and disability, frailty, deterioration in quality of life, and increase in mortality rate in community-dwelling older adults.1,4–6 Concurrently, sarcopenia is common in older adults and is associated with relatively poor outcomes. Appr oximately 10% of community-dwelling older adults are affected by sarcopenia, which is associated with increased risk of falls and fractures, physical dependency, malnutrition, and premature death.

Hemoglobin Improvement is Positively Associated with Functional Outcomes in Stroke Patients with Anemia
Anemia is a prevalent concern in geriatric medicine. Previous studies have highlighted the high prevalence and adverse healthcare outcomes of anemia in older adults.1,2 Anemia, defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a hemoglobin level below 12 and 13 g/dL in women and men, respectively,3 is common in older adults, and an estimated 13% of older adults over age 70 are anemic.1,4 Moreover, anemia has been associated with poor physical performance and disability, frailty, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality rate in community-dwelling older adults.

Significance of Cycle Ergometer as a Measure of Peak Aerobic Capacity in the Disabled
To compare different physiological responses between treadmill and cycle ergometer in stroke patients in regard to community ambulation, and to determine strong predictors of equipment-dependent VO2peak and its related factors among physical fitness parameters and finally to establish the significance of cycle ergometer as a measure of VO2peak in the disabled according to gait function.

Factor XII Concentrations and Risk of Intracerebral Haemorrhage. A Prospective Case-Referent Study
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) accounts for about 15% of all stroke in Sweden and is associated with high rates of death and disability.1,2 Biomarkers can be used in predicting disease risk as well as for disease diagnosis and prognosis estimation.3 A range of biomarkers have been studied in relationship to risk of ICH.4-7

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.

The Emergence of Endovascular Treatment–Only Centers for Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms in the United States
Background: Because of the availability of new technology, the spectrum of endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms has expanded widely. Some centers have started offering only endovascular treatment to patients with intracranial aneurysms (endovascular treatment–only centers [ETOCs]). Our objective was to identify the proportion and outcome of patients treated at ETOCs in the United States.Methods: We determined the proportion of ETOCs in the United States using Nationwide Inpatient Survey data files from 2010. We compared short-term outcomes between ETOCs and endovascular and surgical treatment centers (ESTCs)...

Outcome of Cervicocranial Artery Dissection with Different Treatments: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusions: Endovascular treatment yields a better outcome, with greater benefit in patients with ruptured cervicocranial artery dissection, dissecting aneurysms, and a Hunt–Hess score of 3 or more. Randomized controlled trials comparing these 2 therapeutic strategies are needed.

Stent Placement for Complex Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysms
Conclusions: Our study shows that stent placement for the treatment of certain wide-neck MCA aneurysms is feasible, safe, and effective. However, stent placement for acutely ruptured MCA aneurysms harbors a much higher complication rate.

Growing Dissecting Aneurysm of Basilar Trunk Treated with Stent-assisted Coiling
Growing basilar dissecting aneurysm is a scarce but increasingly recognized entity, accounting for a significant risk of death and disability. Controversy exists regarding the optimal management. A 61-year-old man presented with dysarthria and left hemiparesis attributable to a basilar trunk dissecting aneurysm. Antiplatelet therapy was instituted, and the patient's clinical condition markedly improved. However, he developed severe headache, dysarthria, and left hemiparesis 35 days later. Angiography revealed significant enlargement of the aneurysm, and stent-assisted coiling was then uneventfully performed.

Racial Disparities in Poststroke Activity Limitations Are Not due to Differences in Prestroke Activity Limitation
African Americans experience greater poststroke disability than whites. We explored whether these differences are because of differences in prestroke function.

Delayed Trigeminal Motor Denervation after Pontine Hemorrhage
Pontine hemorrhage is a life-threatening emergency which may result in high mortality and devastating disability. Trigeminal denervation is usually caused by neoplasms and trauma but rarely occurs after pontine hemorrhage. Herein, we present a patient with delayed trigeminal motor denervation who presents with progressive atrophy of the right temporalis and masseter muscles 1 year after pontine hemorrhage. Details of the pathogenesis and correlation between clinical, electrophysiological, and radiological findings are addressed.

Evaluation of Qualitative Outcomes after Surgical Intervention on Patients Affected by Arteriovenous Malformations
Arteriovenous malformations are abnormal tangles of blood vessels that cause irregular connections between arteries and veins. Rupture of arteriovenous malformations represents a frequent complication associated with a neurological impairment and physical disability.

Coagulation Profile after Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Cohort Study
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes death or disability and the incidence increases with age. Knowledge of acute hemostatic function in patients with ICH without anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy is sparse. Increased knowledge of the coagulation profile in the acute phase of ICH could improve acute treatment and recovery. We investigated coagulation at admission and changes in coagulation during the first 24 hours after symptom onset.
