Effects of vitamin E on neurodegenerative diseases: an update
Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars). 2021;81(1):21-33. doi: 10.21307/ane-2021-003.ABSTRACTVitamin E deficiency is associated with many neurological problems. Although the mechanisms of vitamin E action in neurodegenerative diseases are not clear, there are many possible mechanisms. Examples of such mechanisms are the protective effects of vitamin E against oxidative stress damage and its suppressive role in the expression of many genes involved in the development of neurodegeneration. Many studies have evaluated the relationship between vitamin E intake or vitamin E levels in body fluids and neurodegenerative diseases. Some studies ...

Role of vitamin D in cerebrovascular disease
Conclusions: After reviewing current literature on the subject, we conclude that there are some data to suggest the role of vitamin D in patients with stroke but it cannot be concluded as a risk factor for stroke. Larger population-based studies are needed to confirm the causative role of vitamin D in stroke.

Prevalence, Mechanisms, and Management of Ischemic Stroke in Heart Failure Patients
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1726329Heart failure (HF) and stroke, two of the major causes of death worldwide, are closely associated. Although atrial fibrillation (AF), which occurs in more than half of patients with HF, is a major risk factor for stroke, there is a great deal of evidence that HF itself increases the risk of stroke independent of AF. The main mechanism of stroke appears to be thromboembolism. However, previous studies have failed to demonstrate the benefit of warfarin in patients with HF without AF, as the benefit of stroke prevention was counteracted by the increased incidence of major bleeding. Rece...

Non-vitamin K Oral Anticoagulants and Anti-seizure Medications: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusions: The recurrent stroke rate of NOAC users with potential DDIs was not higher than in those without potential DDIs in this single-institute study. Our results suggest that theoretical interactions between ASMs and NOACs may not be as severe as previously thought in a real-world situation.

Rivaroxaban in Recurrent Ischemic Stroke Due to Protein S Deficiency: A Case Report
In this study our patient was treated with rivaroxaban. Protein S deficiency may be a predisposing factor in recurrent ischemic stroke, and rivaroxaban can be a safe and effective treatment option. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Residual Stroke Risk in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Non-Vitamin K Oral Anticoagulants: An 8-Year Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusions: Stroke developed in NVAF patients despite being on NOACs, with the majority being female, older, and hypertensive. Surprisingly, in general they had reasonable lipid and diabetic control.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2021;11:9 –14

Inactivated Four-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate Dosing Practices for Reversal of Warfarin-Related Intracranial Hemorrhage
ConclusionsMost patients received single doses of I4F-PCC, with adjunctive reversal agents and rounding doses to vial size. The time difference from baseline INR to factor product administration is a potential opportunity for process improvement in the management of warfarin-related ICH.

Long-Term Anticoagulation in Secondary Ischemic Stroke Prevention: The Prospective Multicenter RESTAIC Registry
Conclusion: Long-term OAC in secondary stroke prevention is associated with a lower frequency of bleeding complications than stroke recurrences. No differences between anticoagulant drugs were found in any of the analyzed outcomes. The main cause for OAC switch during follow-up was stroke recurrence.
