Predicting Major Bleeding in Ischemic Stroke Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Brief Report
Conclusions—Performance of prediction models for major bleeding in patients with cerebral ischemia and atrial fibrillation is modest but comparable with performance in patients with only atrial fibrillation. Bleeding risk scores cannot guide treatment decisions for oral anticoagulants but may still be useful to identify modifiable risk factors for bleeding. Clinical usefulness may be best for ORBIT, which is based on a limited number of easily obtainable variables and showed reasonable performance.

Gender Difference in Stroke Case Fatality: An Integrated Study of Hospitalization and Mortality
Conclusions: Among persons hospitalized with a stroke in Nebraska between 2005 and 2009, the crude case fatality rate was 50% higher in women. However, after accounting for age and other variables, adjusted mortality rates were essentially the same for men and women.

Anemia on admission predicts short‐ and long‐term outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionAnemia is common among AIS patients and is associated with cardiovascular comorbidities. Low hemoglobin status independently predicts short and long‐term mortality.

Proteinuria as an independent risk factor for contrast-induced acute kidney injury and mortality in patients with stroke undergoing cerebral angiography
Conclusions Proteinuria is an independent risk factor for CI-AKI and 1-year mortality in patients with stroke undergoing cerebral angiography. More attention should be paid to the development of CI-AKI in patients with stroke with proteinuria.

Saving Vanessa, part 1: A mystery rash, a stroke and an epic rescue
Vanessa’s rash first appeared on her arms and legs when she 3 or 4 months old. It was red and bumpy and went away when she was sick with a virus, which happened often. Then it would come back. The dermatology team she saw at Boston Children’s Hospital was puzzled. “I was expecting they were going to think it was nothing, but they took it very seriously,” says Katherine Bell, one of Vanessa’s mothers. “They took a biopsy and very quickly realized they had no idea what it was.” Vanessa’s case was even featured at a regional dermatology conference where doctors take up mystery patients. “A hundred to 150 der...

Anemia is Associated with Poor Outcomes in Patients with Less Severe Ischemic Stroke
Anemia is a known predictor of in-hospital mortality among patients with such vascular conditions as acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. The role of anemia in patients with acute ischemic stroke is less well understood. We sought to examine the association between anemia at hospital admission and the combined outcome of in-hospital mortality and discharge to hospice in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We evaluated data from a retrospective cohort of consecutive ischemic stroke patients presenting within 48 hours of symptom onset at 5 hospitals between 1998 and 2003. Anemi...

Sickle Mice Are Sensitive to Hypoxia/Ischemia-Induced Stroke but Respond to Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator Treatment Basic Sciences
Conclusions—Sickle mice are sensitive to hypoxia/ischemia-induced cerebral infarct but benefit from thrombolytic treatment. An increased resistive index in carotid arteries may be an early marker of sickle cell vasculopathy.

Anemia on Admission Increases the Risk of Mortality at 6 Months and 1 Year in Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients in China
Background: The relationship between anemia and intracerebral hemorrhage is not clear. We investigated the associations between anemia at the onset and mortality or dependency in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) registered at the China National Stroke Registry (CNSR).Methods: The CNSR recruited consecutive patients with diagnoses of ICH in 2007-2008. Their vascular risk factors, clinical presentations, and outcomes were recorded. The mortality and dependency at 1, 3, and 6 months and at 1 year were compared between ICH patients with and without anemia. A favorable outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scal...

The Effect of Anemia on the Functional Outcomes of the Stroke Patients and the Efficiency of their Stroke Rehabilitation
There has been limited study focusing on the functional outcomes of stroke patients' after rehabilitation, such as functional improvement and discharge destination, length of stay (LOS), and complication rate.

The Genetic Landscape of Cerebral Steno-Occlusive Arteriopathy and Stroke in Sickle Cell Anemia
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases in humans, occurring at a frequency of 1 in 365 African-American and 1 in 50 sub-Saharan African births. Despite progress in managing complications of SCD, these remain a major health burden worldwide. Stroke is a common and serious complication of SCD, most often associated with steno-occlusive cerebral arteriopathy, but little is known about its pathogenesis. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is currently the only predictive test for future development of stroke in patients with sickle cell anemia and is used to guide preventative treatment.

Mimic of transient ischemic attack by anemia-induced asterixis: A novel differential diagnosis of stroke with critical pitfalls
For stroke diagnosis, little or no attention is paid to asterixis 1, because most cases of asterixis are asymptomatic 2. However, falls due to asterixis have been reported 2,3, which could mimic transient ischemic attack (TIA). On the other hand, anemia has been reported as an independent risk factor for cerebral ischemia 4. Therefore, asterixis and anemia are important in the diagnosis of stroke. Here, we report asterixis of the lower extremities that resembled recurrent TIA of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) with a tiny asymptomatic callosal infarction in a patient with severe anemia.
