Cardiovascular diseases in patients 65 years and younger with non-cardiogenic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Aetiologically heterogeneous stroke and cardiogenic stroke are the most commonly observed among young stroke patients. Cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation are the most common sources of cerebral embolism in young patients with cardiogenic stroke. Nearly 1/5 of patients with a non-cardiogenic stroke have congenital or acquired structural changes in the heart. PMID: 27279848 [PubMed]

The presence of Tau protein in blood as a potential prognostic factor in stroke patients.
Abstract Tau protein is found in the blood of 40 - 50% of patients in the acute phase of a stroke, as a result of the degradation of neurons and damage to the blood-brain barrier. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of tau protein in the blood of stroke patients, as well as to evaluate the potential impact of tau protein presence in the blood of patients on their neurological state during the first 24 hours, and their functional condition three months after the stroke. Eighty-seven patients aged 39 - 99 (42 females and 45 males) diagnosed with stroke were enrolled in the prospective study (August 2014...

BOLD fMRI signal in stroke patients and its importance for prognosis in the subacute disease period – Preliminary report
Conclusion There are differences observed in the activation areas of the cerebral cortex both in the stroke and non-stroke hemispheres of the brain in stroke patients. More than half of the patients with hemispheric stroke but all with good outcome showed cerebellar activation. There was no clear correlation between the cortical activation pattern and the neurological status on the first day of stroke. There is probable positive correlation between the size of BOLD-signal in fMRI, young age, activation of supplementary motor area in stroke hemisphere and good functional status of patients in the subacute period of stroke.

Analysis of echocardiographic parameters of cardiac function in patients with acute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: One quarter of patients in the acute phase of stroke have LVSD and/or LVDD. LVSD adversely affects both neurological status in acute stroke as well as functional status in the short-term follow-up. Age at first-in-life stroke incidence and lower EF are predictors of poor functional status one month after a stroke. PMID: 30855702 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Low Concentration of BDNF in the Acute Phase of Ischemic Stroke as a Factor in Poor Prognosis in Terms of Functional Status of Patients.
CONCLUSIONS The neurological status and concentration of BDNF on the 1st day of ischemic stroke are independent prognostic factors in medium-term observation. Reduction in the concentration of BDNF in the acute phase of stroke is a factor for poor prognosis in terms of the functional status of patients on the 90th day after onset.

The importance of selected markers of inflammation and blood-brain barrier damage for short-term ischemic stroke prognosis.
Authors: Lasek-Bal A, Jedrzejowska-Szypulka H, Student S, Warsz-Wianecka A, Zareba K, Puz P, Bal W, Pawletko K, Lewin-Kowalik J Abstract Acute cerebral ischemia triggers local and systemic immune response. The aims of this project was to assess the blood serum concentration of the markers of inflammation and markers of the blood brain barrier damage on the first day of ischemic stroke, and the mutual correlations between these marker levels. Patients with first-in-life stroke were analysed according to: plasma concentration of the following markers on the first day of stroke: interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleuki 6 (...

Risk factor profile in patients with stroke at a young age.
Conclusions Angiopathy is the most common risk factor for stroke at a young age. More than half of the patients with stroke at a young age have at least two independent risk factors for stroke. In the first two decades of life, the most frequent risk factors for stroke are heart diseases; arterial diseases play a dominant role in the consecutive three decades.

The impact of anemia on the course and short-term prognosis in patients with first ever ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Mild anemia did not influence significantly the neurological condition in acute phase of stroke but worsened the functional status in subacute phase of stroke. The neurological state on the first day of stroke and the hemispheric location of cerebral ischemia are independent factors of poor prognosis in patients with anemia in short-term follow-up.

Characteristics of hospitalizations due to acute stroke in the Silesian Province, Poland, between 2009 and 2015.
CONCLUSIONS: This comprehensive long-term analysis of the epidemiological situation related to AS in the industrial region of Poland should encourage further development of educational and treatment programmes for improvement in the health status of the population.

Relevance of admission hyperglycaemia and diabetes mellitus to efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy in stroke patients
CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes mellitus has a neutral effect on the angiographic and clinical outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy in stroke patients. It does not increase the risk of intracranial haemorrhage after instrumental therapy. It is admission hyperglycaemia, rather than diabetes mellitus, that is a predictor of poor functional status in patients treated with thrombectomy. According to our results, the patient's neurological status, age, and the outcome of thrombectomy are relevant to the functional status in the acute ischaemic stroke period.PMID:36394219 | DOI:10.5603/PJNNS.a2022.0063
