Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone and Incident Ischemic Stroke in Men in the Cardiovascular Health Study.
CONCLUSIONS: DHT had a nonlinear association with stroke risk in which there was an optimal DHT level associated with the lowest stroke risk. Further studies are needed to confirm these results and to clarify if there is an optimal androgen range associated with the least risk for adverse outcomes in elderly men.

CHADS2 scores as a predictor of ischemic stroke after radical prostatectomy
This study assesses the predictive value of CHADS2 scores and CCIS for stroke among patients with prostate cancer. The study was conducted based on data taken from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). We identified a total of 5414 participants with nonatrial fibrillation (AF) prostate cancer diagnoses who underwent radical prostatectomy between 1997 and 2011. CHADS2 scores and CCIS were used to stratify the 5‐year ischemic stroke risk. All participants were followed from the date of enrollment until ischemic stroke, death, or the end of the 5‐year follow‐up period. The 5‐year risk of ischem...

Association of Intensive Morphine Treatment and Increased Stroke Incidence in Prostate Cancer Patients: A Population-based Nested Case-Control Study
Conclusions Intense morphine treatment may be associated with an increased stroke incidence in patients with malignancy, and the association is particularly significant for prostate cancer patients.

Risk of ischemic stroke after androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer in the Chinese population living in Hong Kong
Conclusions There was increased risk of ischemic stroke after androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer in the Chinese population. The risk of ischemic stroke should be considered while deciding on androgen deprivation therapy, especially in older patients with known history of hyperlipidemia.

Abstract 14: The Influence of Provider Specialty on Anticoagulation Prescription Fills and Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With History of Cancer Session Title: Poster Session Reception: Young Investigator Award Semi-Finalists
Conclusion: AF patients with cancer were less likely to see a cardiologist, and less likely to fill an anticoagulant prescription than AF patients without cancer. However, cardiology involvement was associated with increased anticoagulant prescription fills and reduced risk of stroke, suggesting a beneficial role for cardiology providers to improve outcomes in AF patients with history of cancer.

Specific Biomarkers of Prostate Cancer-Associated Ischemic Stroke: A Case-Control Study.
CONCLUSIONS</strong> Elevated levels of D-dimer and T-PSA and increased NLR are independent risk factors of PCaIS. The multiple model of PCaIS can be a specific biomarker and is a reliable predictor of development of PCaIS. PMID: 31383837 [PubMed - in process]

18F-Choline Uptake in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Abstract: A 75-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer was referred to our department to perform 18F-choline (FCH) PET/CT. FCH PET/CT showed a markedly increased uptake in the right temporoparietal junction brain. Three weeks earlier, acute ischemic stroke was diagnosed in the right temporoparietal junction brain on diffusion-weighted sequence and thrombosis in a distal branch of the right middle cerebral artery on MR angiography. Choline precursors promote repair and growth of cell membranes in neurologic diseases, so FCH PET/CT uptake could be explained by repair processes during early outcome of acute ischemic stroke.

Stroke rates appear to be rising steadily in young adults
The rate of stroke among young people has apparently been rising steadily since 1995, according to a study published this week. Hospitalization rates for stroke increased for women between the ages of 18 and 44, and nearly doubled for men in that age range from 1995 through 2012. Using more-detailed data for 2003 through 2012, the researchers found that rates […]Related:California vaccination rate hits new high after tougher immunization lawRisk of a rare but deadly mouse-borne virus increases in the springThe federal panel that opposed prostate cancer screening just changed its mind

Subacute Stroke Mimicking Cerebral Metastasis in 68Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC PET/CT
Abstract: A 65-year-old man with disseminated bone metastases of prostate cancer was referred for 68Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC-PET/CT (short PSMA-PET/CT) to exclude visceral metastases before treatment of bone metastases with 223Ra-dichloride. Apart from disseminated bone metastases, PSMA-PET/CT revealed a focal cerebral tracer uptake in the right frontal lobe highly suspicious for cerebral spread. According to patient history, a cerebral infarction occurred 14 days before PSMA imaging in corresponding localization confirmed by MRI scanning. This case demonstrates the possibility of false-positive finding of cerebral metastases in PS...

Incidental Uptake in a Subacute Stroke on 18F-Piflufolastat PSMA PET/CT
Clin Nucl Med. 2023 Sep 7. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000004798. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProstate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT has proven to be effective in the evaluation of prostate cancer and has become increasingly used clinically as multiple radiopharmaceuticals have become commercially available. With increasing use, incidental uptake from a variety of nononcologic processes will be encountered and considered interpretive pitfalls. We outline a case of a 71-year-old man who underwent imaging with PSMA PET/CT, which demonstrated uptake in the left parietal-temporal junction that was shown to be a subacut...
