HIV-associated multiple intracranial aneurysms and stroke in an adult patient: successful treatment with a combination of glucocorticoid and antiviral agents
AbstractA 35-year-old Iranian man with an 18-year history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection developed sudden left-sided hemiparesis and mild dysarthria. Based on laboratory results, brain and neck computerized tomography angiography (CTA), echocardiography, hypercoagulability tests, and vasculitis tests, the patient was diagnosed with a stroke with multiple intracranial aneurysms secondary to HIV. Cerebral aneurysms and stroke are uncommon in HIV-infected patients, and the aneurysms ’ exact cause and risk factors are unknown. There is currently no effective regimen or definitive treatment for HIV-associated...

Incidence, early case fatality and determinants of stroke in Iran: Golestan Cohort Study
Stroke is a neurological deficit secondary to an acute focal central nervous system injury caused by a vascular origin.1 In 2019, stroke was considered the second cause of death worldwide, accounting for 125 million Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs).2 In addition to physical disability, stroke causes tremendous emotional distress and a significant economic burden.3 Studies suggest that the global burden of stroke has been increasing during the past few decades. This increase has been attributed to aging populations and the rising prevalence of risk factors, particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Health care providers ’ effect on long-term mortality after the first-ever stroke: application of shared frailty survival models
ConclusionsDespite considering the known demographic and clinical prognostic factors, health care providers ’ effect on the patients’ survival after stroke was still significant. This may be due to the existing difference between two hospitals in facilities, management, coordination, and efficiency of treatment.

Causes of mortality in patients after first ‐ever stroke: A retrospective population‐based study
ConclusionThere are no sex differences in mortality after first-ever stroke. Elderly patients need more support and attention due to greater stroke mortality. Complete blood count, lipid profile and blood levels of urea, creatinine, and fasting blood sugar may be useful in predicting mortality after first-ever stroke.
