Borderzone Infarction and Small Vessel Disease in a Sample of Egyptian Stroke Patients: Differences and Similarities
Conclusion: Limb shaking, retinal claudication or syncope, with MRI showing rosary pattern of white matter hyperintensity, few microbleeds and markedly impaired perfusion favor the diagnosis of borderzone infarctions. On the other hand, presence of lacunae, FLAIR showing symmetrical WMH and microbleeds with minimal or no perfusion deficit suggests the diagnosis of small vessel disease.

Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

Recurrent Spells of Unresponsiveness Secondary to Bilateral Carotid Stenosis Caused by Giant Cell Arteritis (P4.373)
Conclusions: The presence of bilateral carotid stenosis in patients with GCA is strongly associated with future risk of neurologic deficits. A vertebrobasilar steal syndrome may be a manifestation of bilateral, severe carotid stenosis. It may be difficult to separate atherosclerotic lesions from vasculitic lesions related to GCA, however, the presence of localized focal stenosis with relatively healthy arteries above and below the lesions may point to a vasculitic process. Rigorous attention should be given to modification of atherosclerotic risk factors as well as recognizing and treating the rare manifestation of GCA.Dis...

Herpes zoster as a risk factor for stroke and TIA: A retrospective cohort study in the UK
Conclusion: HZ is an independent risk factor for vascular disease in the UK population, particularly for stroke, TIA, and MI in subjects affected before the age of 40 years. In older subjects, better ascertainment of vascular risk factors and earlier intervention may explain the reduction in risk of stroke after HZ infection.

Risk factor burden predicts long‐term mortality after cerebral infarction
ConclusionIncreasing number of traditional risk factors is associated with long‐term mortality in patients with cerebral infarction, irrespective of age. Careful long‐term follow‐up is important, especially among patients with several risk factors.
