Arteriopathy, D-Dimer, and Risk of Poor Neurologic Outcome in Childhood-Onset Arterial Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: Arteriopathy and coagulation activation are highly prevalent in the acute period of childhood AIS. Although recurrent AIS and intracranial hemorrhage were infrequent in our cohort, one-half of children experienced a poor neurologic outcome at 1 year, the risk of which was increased by acute arteriopathy. Substantiation of these findings in multi-institutional cohort studies is warranted, toward risk stratification in childhood-onset AIS.

Historical Perspective: A "Quick" Narrative of a Blood Coagulation Trailblazer
Physicians know Dr Armand Quick as the "Father of Blood Coagulation." His discovery of prothrombin time enabled clinicians to understand the use of vitamin K to prevent "hemorrhagic disease of the newborn" and to identify hereditary and acquired bleeding disorders in pediatric and adult patients. Quick suggested 50 years ago that aspirin could prevent myocardial infarction and stroke, a concept that perseveres today. His lifetime of research on bleeding and anticoagulants created this discipline in modern hematology.
