Dietary protein and stroke prevention: Is the Eskimo diet the answer to avoid stroke?
The complexity of human diet resides in the heterogeneity of sources (e.g., animals, grains, vegetables, and fruits), preservatives used, and cultural, religious, and geographic factors. Other factors include age, personal preferences, concomitant diseases, and even genetic predispositions (e.g., gluten sensitivity). Growing evidence has shown that multiple dietary substrates increase the risk of stroke by increasing blood pressure or adversely contributing to atherogenesis.1 Excess salt intake, low potassium intake, excess weight, and high alcohol consumption increase the risk of hypertension.2 The American Heart Associat...

Risk of warfarin-associated intracerebral haemorrhage after ischaemic stroke is low and unchanged during the 2000s
Commentary on: Asberg A, Erisksson M, Henriksson KM, et al.. Warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage after ischemic stroke. Stroke 2014;45:2118–20. Context Since its isolation during the early half of the 20th century from the mouldy hay responsible for ‘sweet clover disease’ in cattle, warfarin has become the most widely used oral anticoagulant.1 Indications include atrial fibrillation (AF), mechanical prosthetic valves and venous thromboembolism treatment.2 Warfarin reduces stroke risk in patients with AF by nearly two-thirds; AF accounts for 20% of ischaemic strokes, which tend to be more severe t...

Sex Differences in Outcomes and Associated Risk Factors After Acute Ischemic Stroke in Elderly Patients: A Prospective Follow-up Study
Stroke has a greater effect on women. However, sex differences in outcome and factors associated with outcome among elderly patients are unknown. From January 2009 to December 2011, 810 patients with acute ischemic stroke aged 75 years or older were recruited in China. Clinical profile and risk factors were recorded. Outcomes and associated risk factors at 12 and 36 months after stroke were assessed by sex. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemias, and obesity prevalence rates were higher in women than in men; opposite trends were found for smoking and alcohol consumption.

Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Recent Trend and Predictors. (P6.040)
CONCLUSIONS:GIB is relatively known complication in setting of AIS. Decremental trend in recent years does not have any association with chemical or mechanical thrombolysis but instead was predicted by chronic altered metabolic states like NSAID use, alcohol abuse and Atrial fibrillation.Disclosure: Dr. Shah has nothing to disclose.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (C677T and A1298C) Polymorphisms, Hyperhomocysteinemia, and Ischemic Stroke in Tunisian Patients
Objective: The present study evaluated the role of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C gene polymorphisms and correlated these results with plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels in Tunisian ischemic stroke (IS) patients.Methods: Overall, 84 patients with IS were included and compared with 100 healthy controls. The most common stroke risk factors were investigated. Fasting plasma Hcy levels were measured. Genotyping of the MTHFR C677T and A1298 polymorphisms was studied by polymerase chain reaction.Results: Aside from tobacco and alcohol use, the other studied factors were significant risk factors fo...

Higher Frequency of Atrial Fibrillation Linked to Colder Seasons and Air Temperature on the Day of Ischemic Stroke Onset
We read with great interest the article published by Fustinoni et al entitled “Higher frequency of atrial fibrillation linked to colder seasons and air temperature on the day of ischemic stroke onset” in the Journal of Stroke and Cardiovascular Diseases. We have recently analyzed Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a nationally representative survey of hospitalizations in the United States and found that there is a substantial increase in atrial fibrillation (AF)–related hospitalization in colder months and decreased hospitalization in warmer months. Such findings have been replicated from other nations as well. Environme...

Stroke mortality increased by drinking alcohol several times a week
Consuming alcohol more frequently than twice a week increases the risk of stroke mortality in men, according to a study carried out at the University of Eastern Finland. The results show that the effects of alcohol are not limited to the amount consumed, but also the frequency of drinking matters. The results were published in Acta Neurologica Scandinavica.Excessive consumption of alcohol is associated with a variety of different diseases.

Unruptured Brain Arteriovenous Malformations Brief Report
Background and Purpose—In light of evidence from ARUBA (A Randomized Trial of Unruptured Brain Arteriovenous Malformations), neurovascular specialists had to reconsider deliberate treatment of unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (uBAVMs). Our objective was to determine the outcomes of uBAVM treated with primary embolization using ethylene vinyl alcohol (ONYX).Methods—Patients with uBAVM who met the inclusion criteria of ARUBA and were treated with primary Onyx embolization were assigned to this retrospective study. The primary outcome was the modified Rankin Scale score. Secondary outcomes were stroke or death...

Stroke Dysbiosis Index (SDI) in Gut Microbiome Are Associated With Brain Injury and Prognosis of Stroke
Conclusions: We developed an index to measure gut microbiota dysbiosis in stroke patients; this index was significantly correlated with patients' outcome and was causally related to outcome in a mouse model of stroke. Our model facilitates the potential clinical application of gut microbiota data in stroke and adds quantitative evidence linking the gut microbiota to stroke. Introduction Ischemic stroke imposes a heavy burden on society, with 24.9 million cases worldwide (1). Although intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular treatment greatly improve some patients' prognosis, the prognosis for most pa...

Age- and Sex-Associated Impacts of Body Mass Index on Stroke Type Risk: A 27-Year Prospective Cohort Study in a Low-Income Population in China
Conclusions Being overweight increased the risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes; obesity was only associated with an increased risk of IS. Additionally, the positive association between BMI and stroke risk was only observed in participants aged <65 years and the associations differed between men and women. Being overweight increased the risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in men and being underweight increased their risk of hemorrhagic stroke. In women, being overweight increased the hemorrhagic stroke risk, whereas obesity increased their IS risks. The high prevalence of hypertension and elevat...
