Effect of Enteral Nutrition on In-hospital Infection and Hospital Expense in Stroke Patients: A Retrospective Assessment
Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 2021 Mar 9. doi: 10.2176/nmc.oa.2020-0350. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInfection is a common complication of stroke and is associated with unfavorable outcomes. Although nutritional intervention reduces the risk of postoperative infection, the impact of specific nutritional products remains unclear. From a hospital management perspective, we aimed to determine whether the provision of specific types of enteral nutrition in acute stroke patients affects infection control and hospital costs. In all, 45 acute hemorrhagic stroke patients receiving enteral nutrition in a single center (April 2017-Marc...

E-105 Analysis of clinical associations of serum SCFAs taken at the time of thrombectomy in AIS patients
ConclusionsThe evaluation of SCFAs in the serum at the time of stroke provides novel insight into the potential role of SCFAs during stroke in human patients. Age remains a significant factor to SCFA concentrations in stroke patients. The length of time following stroke also contributes to the levels of SCFAs. Previous studies have shown that increased levels of SCFAs is associated with decreased severity of stroke, however our data did not detect any such effect. This observation may be due to the acute time of the blood collection following stroke and analyzing serum instead of fecal samples. Furthermore, acquiring infor...

Activation of the NLRP3/IL-1 β/MMP-9 pathway and intracranial aneurysm rupture associated with the depletion of ERα and Sirt1 in oophorectomized rats
CONCLUSIONS: To the authors' knowledge, this work represents the first demonstration that, in an aneurysm model under estrogen-deficient conditions, the depletion of ERα and Sirt1 may contribute to activation of the NLRP3/IL-1β/MMP-9 pathway, facilitating the rupture of IAs in the estrogen-deficient rat IA rupture model.PMID:35594890 | DOI:10.3171/2022.4.JNS212945
