Thrombomodulin, alarmin signaling, and copeptin: cross-talk between obesity and acute ischemic stroke initiation and severity in Egyptians
In conclusion, these results highlighted detr imental role of alarmin signaling with increased adaptive response to block this pathway through TM in addition to increased copeptin level as an acute damage marker and their tight relation to WC not to BMI in AIS which clarify the implication of central adiposity.

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.

Effect of a tailored multidimensional intervention on the care burden among family caregivers of stroke survivors: a randomised controlled trial
Conclusion
The main results showed that participants in the IG did not experience an improvement in the main outcomes. Nevertheless, the improvement in the psychological and social domains may have been attributed to our intervention.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ Pro12 ala polymorphism and risk of cerebral stroke in type 2 diabetes mellitus egyptian patients
ConclusionA12 containing genotypes and A12 allele are not associated with IR, diabetes and risk of IS development, however, significant higher BMI were observed in A12 allele carriers in the studied patients with diabetes as well as those with IS.

Association between Interleukin-18 promoter polymorphisms and risk of ischemic stroke: A case-control study
Conclusion This study concludes that IL-18 −607AA genotype and A allele may be risk factors to IS, whereas IL-18 −137GC genotype and C allele may be protective factors against IS in Egyptian population.

Association between interleukin-18 (137G/C and 607C/A) gene polymorphisms and risk of ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis
Over the years, numerous researchers have explored the relationship between ischemic stroke (IS) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) gene polymorphisms. However, those studies reported conflicting and ambiguous results. The effects of IL-18 (137G/C and 607C/A) genetic variants on IS were investigated in this article. We performed a systematic search that was comprehensively executed in online databases for studies published up to 30 April 2018. Calculation of pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals was applied to assess the intensity of correlation using Stata.12.0. The overall outcome showed that 137G allele increase...

Association of vaspin gene expression and its serum level on the risk of ischemic stroke in type 2 diabetic Egyptian patients: Prospective case ‐control study
In conclusion, the higher levels of serum vaspin and vaspin expression levels in T2DM emphasizes the pivotal role of vaspin serum level and expression in the progression of metabolic and glucose abnormalities, thus, they could be used as biomarkers of IS.

Safety and efficacy of transcatheter left atrial appendage closure using the Watchman device in Egyptian patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
Conclusion LAA closure with the Watchman device can be safely performed, and may be a reasonable alternative to consider for patients at high risk for stroke but with contraindications to systemic oral anticoagulation or with high risk of bleeding.

Clinical and Radiological Characteristics of Acute Cerebrovascular Diseases Among Egyptian Patients With COVID-19 in Upper Egypt
Conclusion: Acute CVD among patients with COVID-19 was common in our study. LVO was the commonest. Hypertension, IHD, and anemia are the most common risk factors and could contribute to the worsening of clinical presentation. Comorbidities were common among patients with CVD, although a large number had elevated liver enzymes and creatinine that were partially due to COVID-19 infection itself. The current results begin to characterize the spectrum of CVD associated with COVID-19 in patients in Upper Egypt.Registration ID: The ID number of this study is IRB no: 17300470.

Inflammation May Be the Culprit Behind Our Deadliest Diseases
In the early days of my medical residency, I met a man whom we’ll call Jason. He arrived to our emergency room on a holiday, nonchalant yet amiable, and complained of mild chest pain. Jason was tall and trim, with a strong South Boston accent and fingertips still faintly stained from his last home-improvement project. He was only 45 years old, but he looked much younger. He didn’t smoke, barely drank alcohol, and his cholesterol levels had always been normal. No one in his family had a history of heart disease. He asked us if we could work quickly—he wanted to be home for dinner with his daughters.

Chronic Kidney Disease Is Poised To Become The Black Lung of Climate Change
It’s official. July was the world’s hottest month on record, scientists from the European climate monitoring agency confirmed on Aug. 8, a full 1.5°C (2.7°F) warmer than pre-industrial averages, offering a potent taste of what is to come in a world made hotter by climate change. The wildfires and heat waves that wreathed much of the northern hemisphere in smoke this summer? Expect more of the same. The surge in deaths and hospitalization from heat stress and stroke? Ditto. An increase in chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origin? Yup. Wait, what?
