Time course of NT‐proBNP levels after acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionNT‐proBNP levels were highest in the first 2 days after ischemic stroke and declined significantly thereafter. However, the area under the curve for the three time points was similar. The first 72 hours after ischemic stroke have a similar diagnostic accuracy to diagnose cardioembolic stroke.

Outcome of men and women after atrial fibrillation and stroke
ConclusionsThere were no gender differences in long‐term mortality after stroke related to AF. Men were significantly more often prescribed anticoagulants before stroke, a finding that indicates the need for further studies.

Determinants of post‐stroke cognitive impairment: analysis from VISTA
ConclusionsBesides well‐known determinants of PSCI such as age, stroke severity and the presence of vascular risk factors, also leg paralysis is associated with subsequent of PSCI up to 3 years after stroke.

Transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke patients with or without prior stroke
ConclusionsBoth in TIA and IS, vascular risk factors were more common in patients with a history of stroke compared with those without. In contrast to other secondary preventive medications, OAC treatment in the presence of AF was underutilized in patients with a history of stroke.

Recurrent ischemic stroke is associated with the burden of risk factors
ConclusionHistory of prior ischemic stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke was associated with the burden of risk factors, atherosclerosis, and atrial fibrillation compared to first‐ever ischemic stroke. This has important implications for secondary preventive treatment.

Headache in stroke according to National Acute Stroke Israeli Survey
ConclusionsIntracerebral hemorrhage, younger age, female gender, posterior circulation involvement, and headache history are predictors for headache occurrence in acute stroke. Headache incidence in ICH correlates with stroke severity as opposed to IS. Headache in TIA is not unusual. Lacunar strokes are generally not accompanied by headaches. Headache remains the main complaint in SVT and carotid dissection.

A shorter system delay for haemorrhagic stroke than ischaemic stroke among patients who use emergency medical service
ConclusionsPatients with a haemorrhagic stroke differed from other stroke patients with a more frequent and rapid activation of EMS.

Immunological consequences of ischemic stroke
The treatment of ischemic stroke is one of the great challenges in modern neurology. The localization and the size of the infarct determine the long‐term disability of stroke survivors. Recent observations have revealed that stroke also alters the function of the immune system and vice versa: At the site of the infarct, a local inflammatory response develops that enhances brain lesion development. In experimental stroke, proof‐of‐concept studies confirm that inhibition of this immune response reduces lesion volume and improves outcome. In the peripheral blood of stroke patients, though, lymphocytopenia and monocyte d...

Age dependency of ischaemic stroke subtypes and vascular risk factors in western Norway: the Bergen Norwegian Stroke Cooperation Study
ConclusionThe proportion of stroke subtypes and vascular risk factors are age dependent. Age 50–74 years constitutes the period in life where cardiovascular risk factors become manifest and stroke subtypes change.

Ischemic stroke subtype is associated with outcome in thrombolyzed patients
ConclusionsCardioembolic stroke patients were more likely to achieve early neurological improvement and favorable outcome compared with LVD stroke following MRI‐based IV‐tPA treatment. This finding may reflect a difference in the effect of IV‐tPA among stroke subtypes.

Long ‐term progression of white matter hyperintensities in ischemic stroke
ConclusionsAge and marked WMH at index stroke, but not stroke subtype, predicted long ‐term WMH progression after ischemic stroke before 70 years of age, whereas age and hypertension predicted acquisition of marked WMH in those with no or only mild WMH at baseline.

Spontaneous ischaemic stroke in dogs: clinical topographic similarities to humans
ConclusionsSpontaneously occurring ischaemic stroke in dogs share characteristics with human ischaemic stroke in terms of clinical symptoms and infarct topography. Investigating pet dogs with spontaneous ischaemic stroke may provide an alternative approach to the research of stroke injury mechanisms as they occur naturally, and should be further investigated.

Documentation of atrial fibrillation prior to first‐ever ischemic stroke
ConclusionComprehensive approach for AF screening allows detecting AF in one‐third of patients admitted with first‐ever ischemic stroke. Patients with high cardiovascular risk are more likely to have non‐permanent AF.

Incidence and risk conditions of ischemic stroke in older adults
ConclusionIncidence and mortality from ischemic stroke remains considerable. Apart from age and history of atherosclerosis (prior stroke or coronary artery disease), atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and smoking were the underlying conditions most strongly associated with an increased risk.
