Urban Versus Rural Egypt: Stroke Risk Factors and Clinical Profile: Cross-Sectional Observational Study
Background: Egypt is a densely populated country with living habits and health care services that differ from urban to rural regions. We aimed to study how characteristics of stroke vary among these regions. Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study of ischemic stroke, thus hemorrhagic and venous strokes were excluded. A total of 1475 ischemic stroke patients were recruited for analysis from a tertiary hospital in Cairo representing urban area and from a secondary care hospital in Suhag representing rural region.

Prevalence of Stroke in Fayoum Governorate, Egypt: A Community-Based Study
This study was designed to find out the prevalence of stroke in Fayoum Governorate& to study some associated risk factors. Methods: through this community based cross-sectional study 4784 participants aged more than or equal to 18 years old were enrolled. A multi-stage random sample technique was followed to choose the study sample.

Total Antioxidant Capacity Predicts Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke Subtypes in Egyptian Patients
Background: Oxidative stress after ischemic stroke contributes to neuronal cell injury. We tried to demonstrate an association between total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels and outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: We enrolled 60 patients (36 females and 24 males) who were admitted to our hospital due to AIS, in addition to 30 age and sex-matched healthy controls. TAC levels were measured on day 1 of stroke onset, the relationships between TAC levels, stroke subtypes, and clinical outcomes based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and modified Rankin scale upon discharge were evaluated.

Clinical Characteristics of Borderzone Infarction in Egyptian Population
Objectives: In this research we wanted to highlight the importance of defining Borderzone infarctions (BZI) as a separate subtype in stroke classifications. We thus studied cases of isolated BZI, small vessel disease (SVD), and large vessel disease (LVD), to identify their points of similarities and difference in a sample of Egyptian patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional (observational) study. Consecutive 637 acute ischemic stroke patients were recruited over a 2 year period, from 2 stroke units of Ain Shams University hospitals in Egypt.
