A Non-Linear Role of Hyperlipidemia on Progression of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Plaques and Acute Downstream Ischemic Events
CONCLUSIONS: LDL was related with ischemia events in intermediate stage of intracranial atherosclerotic plaque progression, an excellent period for intensive lipid-lowering treatment. In advanced stage, inflammatory agents maybe the main contributor to ischemic events.PMID:36709996 | DOI:10.5551/jat.63971

Relationship between Serum Irisin Levels and MRI-Measured Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in Japanese Men
CONCLUSIONS: Serum irisin levels were associated with less burden of total CSVD in healthy Japanese men. Serum irisin levels were also related with a reduced risk of PVHs, LIs, and CMBs, but not DSWMHs.PMID:36384910 | DOI:10.5551/jat.63824

Propensity of Stroke in Standard versus Various Aortic Arch Variants: A 200 Patients Study
CONCLUSIONS: Standard aortic arch Type 2, bovine aortic arch Type A, and Type B are associated with an early age at stroke presentation. During routine carotid evaluation by CT or MR angiography in stroke patients, it would be better to evaluate the aortic arch as well, especially in young patients.PMID:36211155 | PMC:PMC9540953 | DOI:10.4103/aian.aian_710_21
