More evidence arthritis/pain relieving drugs may contribute to stroke death
Commonly prescribed, older drugs for arthritis and pain may increase the risk of death from stroke, according to a study. "Our study supports stepping up efforts to make sure people with a higher risk of stroke are not prescribed these medications when other options are available," authors concluded.

Anti‐inflammatory effects of ADAMTS‐4 in a mouse model of ischemic stroke
ADAMTS‐4 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs type 4) is a metalloprotease capable to degrade chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans leading to cartilage destruction during arthritis or to neuroplasticity during spinal cord injury (SCI). Although ADAMTS‐4 is an inflammatory‐regulated enzyme, its role during inflammation has never been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ADAMTS‐4 in neuroinflammation. First, we evidenced an increase of ADAMTS‐4 expression in the ischemic brain hemisphere of mouse and human patients suffering from ischemic stroke. Then, we descri...

Effect on Risk of Stroke and Acute Myocardial Infarction of Nonselective Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
There are still debates on the association of increased cardiovascular risk with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients because of inconsistent results. Therefore, our study aims to evaluate the transient effects of selective and nonselective NSAIDs on the risk of stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with RA. We conducted a case-crossover study of 5,921 stroke or AMI patients with comorbidity of RA. All cases were identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database between January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2011 according to the Intern...

Systemic inflammatory response index as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a retrospective study based on propensity score matching
ConclusionSIRI was independently associated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke in patients with RA. Thus, RA patients with elevated SIRI should be closely monitored.Key points•RA patients with IS had fewer traditional risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes, while inflammatory indicators were significantly increased.•The SIRI have drawn attention in recent years as novel non-specific inflammatory markers. However, only a few studies have been conducted to investigate their value in RA.•This study completes the gaps in the research on the relationship between SIRI and the risk of IS occurrence in RA patients.

Giant cell arteritis with rare manifestations of stroke and internal carotid artery dissection: A case study
When diagnosing stroke in elderly patients, based on the symptoms and clinical investigations, we should start treatment immediately before further diagnostic procedures if we suspect GCA, and we have to consider vasculitis in the further diagnosis. AbstractGiant cell arthritis is a systemic vasculitis. A 51-year-old man was presented with sudden onset of right-side blurred vision, frozen movements, and ptosis in the right eye and left side paresis. The diagnosis of GCA with first manifestations of stroke and carotid dissection may be neglected as an underlying cause.

The estimated frequency of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with pregnancy morbidity, stroke, myocardial infarction, and deep vein thrombosis
Conclusion: It is difficult to determine the frequency of a “clinically significant aPL profile” in patients with aPL‐related clinical outcomes due to the lack of robust data. Our best estimates of the incidence of aPL‐associated events should be confirmed with appropriately designed population studies. © 2013 American College of Rheumatology.

Recurrent Embolic Strokes Associated with Vertical Atlantoaxial Subluxation in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report and Review of Literature
We report a 78-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who developed recurrent embolic cerebellar strokes associated with vertical atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS). On contrast angiography, the bilateral vertebral arteries (VAs) were occluded between the C1 and C2 levels, and the distal parts of bilateral VA were supplied by the collateral circulations. Dynamic cerebral angiography and carotid duplex ultrasonography showed that blood flow was substantially decreased in the left VA and left posterior inferior cerebellar artery on cervical anteflexion. It is suggested that vertical AAS reduced the blood flow of collateral cir...
