Risk factors for ischemic stroke: differences between cerebral small vessel and large artery atherosclerosis aetiologies
Folia Neuropathol. 2021;59(4):378-385. doi: 10.5114/fn.2021.112007.ABSTRACTThe treatment for large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke is also important for patients with cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Our aim is to clarify the risk factors for ischemic cerebral SVD and to evaluate the different risk factor profiles of the two ischemic stroke subtypes, namely, ischemic cerebral SVD and LAA. A total of 353 patients with acute ischemic stroke were assigned to two groups according to the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria: the ischemic cerebral SVD group and the LAA group. A total of 70 non-st...

Taking the Obesity Paradox to New Heights in Cerebral Atherosclerosis
Obesity typically worsens many of the major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as elevating blood pressure, worsening dyslipidemia, increasing impaired plasma glucose metabolism (leading to metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus), and increasing systemic inflammation, increasing the risk of most CVD, including hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, atrial fibrillation and cerebrovascular diseases.1 –3 However, in patients with established CVD, many studies published by my colleagues and I and others have demonstrated a consistent paradox, where obese patients with established CVD seem t...

Infectious Causes of Stroke
Stroke is one of the primary causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. It can be ischemic or hemorrhagic, and the former can be due to an in-situ thrombus or a distant embolus. Despite being a rare cause, stroke can also be caused in the setting of infection. Bacterial agents are the most common cause of stroke, among other infectious agents. Until the antibiotic era, rheumatic heart disease was a predisposing risk factor of infective endocarditis. VZV is the most common cause of strokes in pediatric and adult populations.

Prognostic significance of age in patients with acute ischaemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis
CONCLUSIONS: AIS patients treated with reperfusion therapy and aged 80 or more have around a six times higher risk of an unfavourable outcome or death within three months of stroke onset compared to those aged below 60. Higher NIHSS score after IVT, any signs of disability before stroke as measured with mRS, and higher CRP levels are independent risk factors for worse prognosis in the elderly.PMID:35060614 | DOI:10.5603/PJNNS.a2022.0010

Molecular mechanisms of cognitive impairment associated with stroke
AbstractStroke is the second leading cause of death after coronary heart disease in developed countries and is the greatest cause of disability and cognitive impairment. Risk factors for cognitive impairment and dementia after stroke are multifactorial including older age, family history, hypertension, arterial fibrillation, diabetes, genetic variants, low educational status, vascular comorbidities, prior transient ischaemic attack or recurrent stroke, depressive illness duration of a stroke, location, volume, intensity, and degree of neuronal degeneration, location and size of infarction after stroke, time interval after ...

Disparities in Secondary Prevention between Stroke and Coronary Heart Disease in China: Cross-Sectional Community-Based Study, 2014 –2016
Conclusion: Stroke patients had lower use of secondary CVD-preventive medication and achieved lower levels of risk factor control than those of CHD patients in China. Nationwide disease-specific strategies, and better education of participants and health care providers, may narrow these gaps.Cerebrovasc Dis

Developing a Stroke Risk Prediction Model Using Cardiovascular Risk Factors: The Suita Study
Conclusion: We developed a new stroke risk model for the urban general population in Japan. Further research to determine the clinical practicality of this model is required.Cerebrovasc Dis

Differences between Atrial Fibrillation Detected before and after Stroke and TIA: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: We found significant differences in the prevalence of vascular comorbidities, structural heart disease, and stroke recurrence rates between AFDAS and KAF, suggesting that they constitute different clinical entities within the AF spectrum. PROSPERO registration number is CRD42020202622.Cerebrovasc Dis
