Prospective Study About the Relationship Between CEUS of Carotid Intraplaque Neovascularization and Ischemic Stroke in TIA Patients
Conclusion For carotid plaques, CEUS could evaluate the infusion mode of them, which could reflect the neovascularization in plaques. CEUS could predict the incurrence of ischemic stroke or recurrence of TIA in TIA patients, which was useful information for clinical decision.

Cinnamon and Aspirin for Mild Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack: A Pilot Trial
Clin Ther. 2022 Mar 25:S0149-2918(22)00082-0. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2022.02.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Cinnamon can reduce levels of blood lipids, blood glucose, and inflammation, which are risk factors for ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA).The goal of this study was to observe the safety and efficacy of aspirin combined with cinnamon in the treatment of patients with mild stroke or TIA.METHODS: This pilot study included patients with mild stroke or TIA treated at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital-Nanhai Hospital between January 2014 and December 2016. The primary end point was re...

The relationship between serum CXCL16 level and carotid vulnerable plaque in patients with ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The levels of serum CXCL16 are not related to high-risk factors for acute stroke and closely related to characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque, micro-embolic signals and stroke subtypes. PMID: 28975971 [PubMed - in process]

Role of diagnostic ultrasound in patient selection for stroke intervention.
Authors: Sharma VK, Paliwal PR, Teoh HL, Venketasubramanian N, Chan BP Abstract Ultrasonography provides a unique diagnostic perspective in cerebrovascular disorders, with extremely high temporal resolution and excellent spatial display of extracranial as well as intracranial arteries. Unlike other imaging modalities, cerebrovascular ultrasound provides real-time information about the blood flow in addition to the hemodynamic changes as a result of various physiological as well as pathological states. The information obtained from cerebrovascular ultrasound has diagnostic, therapeutic as well as prognostic value in...

Previous use of statins and atrial electrical remodeling in patients with cryptogenic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results show lower PWD values in cryptogenic stroke patients previously treated with statins. These findings provide support to the hypothesis that statins may play a role in modulating atrial electrophysiological and structural properties, preventing the occurrence of a slowed and heterogeneous atrial conduction and finally, reducing the occurrence of AF.

Oral levosimendan increases cerebral blood flow velocities in patients with a history of stroke or TIA – a pilot safety study
Conclusions Oral levosimendan increases cerebral blood flow velocities and diminishes NT-pro-BNP levels in patients with earlier ischaemic cerebrovascular event. Daily doses up to 1.0 mg were well-tolerated, whereas 2.0 mg dose level induced an increase in ventricular extrasystoles. Clinical Trial Registration-URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Comparison of the risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and diabetes among the selected group of football referees and the group of general population men from Northern Poland - a pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: Thanks to properly planned and systematically continued physical activity, despite non-compliance with certain pro-health principles (increased sweet supply and consumption of alcoholic beverages), football referees are characterized by the correct body fat volume and low level of visceral adipose tissue. The parameters were found to be markedly higher in the control group of randomly selected men from the general population. The risk of diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases among football referees was found to be very low.PMID:35587065 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202205_28732
