Potential benefits of biologics on stroke and mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A nationwide population ‐based cohort study in Taiwan
ConclusionBiologics used in RA patients have been shown to have a beneficial impact on improving clinical outcomes, including decreased risks of death and stroke. The economic burden from costs of biologics may be alleviated by improving outcomes.

Association between ischemic stroke and seropositive rheumatoid arthritis in Korea: A nationwide longitudinal cohort study
by Dong Hyun Lee, Seung Hun Sheen, Dong-Geun Lee, Jae-Won Jang, Dong Chan Lee, Seung-Ho Shin, In-bo Han, Je Beom Hong, Hakyung Kim, Seil Sohn The purpose of this longitudinal follow-up study was to investigate the risk of ischemic stroke nationwide in patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and controls who were matched in age and sex. Patient data were collected from the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) Health Scre ening (HEALS) cohort. Using the International Classification of Diseases code M05 (seropositive RA), with a prescription of any disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD), RA was identi...

Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Have Better Outcomes Than Non-Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients When Hospitalized for Ischemic Stroke: Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample
Objectives The aims of this study were to compare the outcomes of patients primarily admitted for ischemic stroke with and without a secondary diagnosis of RA. Methods Data were abstracted from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2016 and 2017 database. The NIS was searched for hospitalizations for adult patients with ischemic stroke as principal diagnosis with and without RA as secondary diagnosis using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality. Hospital length of stay (LOS), total hospital charges, odds of receiving tissue plasminogen activator, ...

Preliminary Investigation: Acupoint-Skin Conductance in Stroke Survivors.
Abstract It has been reported that patients with rheumatoid arthritis or asthma have skin conductance over the acupoints that is lower than that of their healthy counterparts; this has been regarded as indirect evidence of the existence of acupoints and the energy-based model of diseases. In order to investigate the potential application of acupoint-skin conductance measurement that may reflect pathology of ischemic stroke, the present study recruited 34 stroke survivors with hemiparesis, whose skin conductance of a hand acupoint and an adjacent non-acupoint and the finger temperature in both affected and unaffect...

Chronic Inflammatory Disorders and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Coronary Heart Disease, and Stroke: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: -The risk of cardiovascular diseases and T2DM is increased across a range of organ-specific and multi-system chronic inflammatory disorders with evidence that risk is associated with severity of inflammation. Clinical management of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders should aim to reduce cardiovascular risk. PMID: 24970784 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk of ischemic stroke in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Several chronic inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, have been demonstrated to increase ischemic stroke risk, but the data on polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) remain unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that reported odds ratio, relative risk, hazard ratio or standardized incidence ratio comparing ischemic risk in patients with PM/DM versus non-PM/DM participants. Pooled risk ratio and 95 % confidence intervals were calculated using a random-effect, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian a...

Risk of hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke in patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
CONCLUSION: APS is an independent risk factor for hemorrhagic transformation in both thrombolytic and non-thrombolytic treated patients. APS is also associated with longer length and cost of hospital stay. Further research is warranted to identify the unique risk factors in these patients to identify strategies to reduce the risk of hemorrhagic transformation in this subgroup of the population.

Cross-diagnostic scale-banking using Rasch analysis: Developing a common reference metric for generic and health condition-specific scales in people with rheumatoid arthritis and stroke.
CONCLUSION: This study provides a transformation table to enable direct comparisons among instruments measuring physical functioning commonly used in rheumatoid arthritis (HAQ) and stroke (FIMTM motor scale), as well as in people with disability in general (WHODAS 2.0).

Genetic liability to rheumatoid arthritis in relation to coronary artery disease and stroke risk
ConclusionThis study found that genetic liability to RA was associated with increased risk of CAD and intracerebral hemorrhage and that the association for CAD might be mediated by CRP. The heightened cardiovascular risk should be actively monitored and managed in RA patients, and this may include damping systemic inflammation.

Vertebral Artery Dissection in Rheumatoid Arthritis with Cervical Spine Disease
A 59-year-old woman with long-standing active rheumatoid arthritis presented with posterior circulation ischemic stroke after vertebral dissection. She had severe multilevel degenerative changes of her cervical spine. She did not have classic stroke risk factors nor evidence of atherosclerotic disease or other systemic diseases. The most likely mechanism appears to be injury of the artery wall by an osteophyte, causing dissection that resulted in thrombosis and subsequent embolic strokes.

The risk of ischemic stroke in major rheumatic disorders
Rheumatic disorders (RD) are a range of conditions associated with inflammation of joints and connective tissue. They can manifest beyond the musculoskeletal system. Recent focus has been placed on the association of ischemic stroke with these conditions. Traditional vascular risk factors seem to be more prevalent in patients with certain types of RD than in the general population, but these factors do not fully explain the enhanced vascular risk in this population. Four major RD will be discussed in terms of their relationship with ischemic stroke: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis...

Amelioration of experimental arthritis by stroke-induced immunosuppression is independent of Treg cell function
Conclusions MCAO ameliorates arthritis. The correlate of protection from arthritis is not the reduction of a particular pathogenic leucocyte subset or the preferential expansion or emergence of a protective cell population but the global reduction of leucocytes during arthritis.
