Modeling the Impact of Transcendental Meditation on Stroke Incidence and Mortality
Meditation has shown promise in clinical trials in reducing systolic blood pressure, one of the main risk factors for stroke. We aim to estimate the potential benefits of popularizing meditation on stroke incidence and mortality in the United States (U.S.).

Stroke in Pregnancy
Pregnancy confers a substantially increased risk of stroke in women. The period of highest risk of stroke is the peripartum/postpartum phase, coinciding with the highest risk for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and peak gestational hypercoagulability. Hemorrhagic stroke is the most common type of obstetric stroke. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are important contributors to obstetric stroke and predispose women to premature cardiovascular disease. The rate of stroke associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy has increased in the United States. Other conditions associated with obstetric stroke include post...

Inflammatory Signaling in Post-Stroke Fatigue and Depression
Background: In the United States, stroke continues to be the cause for long-term disability. Of the patients with a first stroke, up to 75% will experience post-stroke fatigue (PSF) in the first year following stroke. PSF is one of the most disabling symptoms in stroke survivors; it decreases quality of life, increases mortality, and is a barrier to stroke rehabilitation. Given the incidence of stroke and the prevalence and detrimental impact of PSF on quality of life, independent living, and overall survival, efficient management of PSF must be a priority in stroke rehabilitation. The cause of PSF remains unknown. The bur...

Stroke Survivor and Caregiver Perspectives on Post-Stroke Visual Concerns and Long-Term Consequences.
This study employed a qualitative design using semistructured interviews conducted with a convenience sample of stroke survivors and caregivers recruited from either a community support group or skilled nursing and long-term care facilities. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Comparative content analysis was used to identify vision-related themes by two independent coders. All research team members completed quality checking of coding. Twenty participants (11 stroke survivors and 9 caregivers) expressed visual concerns or consequences following stroke: (1) eye movement problems, (2) perceptual issues, and (...

Hospital Quality Metrics: “America's Best Hospitals” and Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke
Background: Developing quality metrics to assess hospital-level care and outcomes is increasingly popular in the United States. The U.S. News& World Report ranking of “America's Best Hospitals” is an existing, popular hospital-profiling system, but it is unknown whether top-ranked hospitals in their report have better outcomes according to other hospital quality metrics such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) publicly reported 30-day stro ke measures. Methods: The analysis was based on the 2015-2016 U.S.

Ischemic Stroke Transfer Patterns in the Northeast United States
Little is known about how hospitals are connected in the transfer of ischemic stroke (IS) patients. We aimed to describe differences in characteristics of transferred versus nontransferred patients and between transferring and receiving hospitals in the Northeastern United States, and to describe changes over time.

Outcome and predictive factors in post-stroke seizures: A retrospective case-control study
Every year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke [1]. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death for Americans [1]. Stroke is a commonly identified cause of epilepsy in patients older than 35, and the most common cause of seizures in the elderly [2,3]. From stroke registry data, 5-20% of all patients who have suffered stroke will develop seizures[4]. Frequency is variable due to different study methodologies[4]. In a multicenter, prospective study, seizures occurred in 8.9% of 1897 patients with stroke [4,5].

Stroke as a presenting sign of systemic occult cancer
Epilepsy is a common neurologic disorder which affects about 1% of the U.S. population [1]. Most new cases of epilepsy occur in the elderly, with an annual incidence rate of 240 per 100,000 in people aged 65 and older in the United States [1]. Among patients with new-onset epilepsy, almost 50% of the causes can be explained by an underlying etiology, such as vascular diseases, tumors or metabolic disorders [2]. Around 30-40% of new epilepsy cases among the elderly are accounted for by previous cerebrovascular hemorrhages or ischemic accidents.

Natural History of Cervical Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia and Associated Neurovascular Events
Conclusions: No new cervical artery FMD or aneurysm was observed on subsequent imaging. New carotid dissection was uncommon over a mean follow-up period of 35.3 ± 25.3 months and was the only non-atherosclerotic vascular event observed after FMD diagnosis.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:33 –39

Readmissions After Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the United States: A Nationwide Analysis
Mechanical thrombectomy after acute ischemic stroke has been shown to improve clinical outcomes. Data on short-term hospitalization outcomes after thrombectomy are needed. Our objective was to quantify 30- and 90-day readmissions after thrombectomy and identify factors associated with readmissions.

Racial Difference in Cerebral Microbleed Burden Among a Patient Population in the Mid-South United States
Although intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is more common among African-Americans, data on the burden of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) among different races is limited. The purpose of this study is to compare the number, associated factors, and topography of CMBs between African-American and Caucasian populations in the Mid-South United States.

Redistribution of Mature Smooth Muscle Markers in Brain Arteries in Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy
AbstractVascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) undergo a series of dramatic changes in CADASIL, the most common inherited cause of vascular dementia and stroke. NOTCH3 protein accumulates and aggregates early in CADASIL, followed by loss of mature SMCs from the media of brain arteries and marked intimal proliferation. Similar intimal thickening is seen in peripheral arterial disease, which features pathological intimal cells including proliferative, dedifferentiated, smooth muscle-like cells deficient in SMC markers. Limited studies have been performed to investigate the differentiation state and location of SMCs in brain vas...

Carotid endarterectomy in patients with recurrent symptoms associated with an ipsilateral carotid artery near occlusion with full collapse
ConclusionIn patients with RSNOFC, CEA may be considered a potential treatment option. Although procedural risks in this small subgroup may be higher as compared to patients with low-to-moderate risk anatomy, this risk may outbalance the natural course.
