Is smoking associated with favourable outcome in tPA‐treated stroke patients?
ConclusionOur study showed an association between current smoking and favourable short‐term outcome in stroke patients treated with tPA, but not in acute stroke patients not treated with tPA. This may indicate a more effective thrombolysis with tPA in smokers.

An open‐label evaluator‐blinded clinical study of minocycline neuroprotection in ischemic stroke: gender‐dependent effect
ConclusionPatients with ischemic stroke who received oral minocycline daily for 5 days had significantly better neurological outcomes on day 90 than controls. However, females showed no significant clinical improvement compared to males.

Central nervous system infections and stroke – a population‐based analysis
ConclusionsThe population‐based cohort study suggested that adult patients with CNS infections have higher risk to develop stroke but not AMI, and the risk is marked within a year after infections.

Visual field defect after ischemic stroke —impact on mortality
ConclusionsHaving a visual field defect after ischemic stroke is independently associated with increased mortality. This should be addressed when selecting candidates for thrombolysis and in the rehabilitation process.

Risk factor burden predicts long‐term mortality after cerebral infarction
ConclusionIncreasing number of traditional risk factors is associated with long‐term mortality in patients with cerebral infarction, irrespective of age. Careful long‐term follow‐up is important, especially among patients with several risk factors.

Prediction of myocardial infarction in patients with transient ischaemic attack
ConclusionAccording to our results, discrimination was poor for all previous risk prediction models evaluated. Variables such as previous CHD, male sex, DWI and ECG abnormalities should be considered in new prediction models.

Arterial stiffness as a risk factor for cerebral aneurysm
ConclusionsThe baPWV was associated with intracranial saccular aneurysms even after adjustment of hypertension and smoking. Assessment of the baPWV may aid the evaluation of the intracranial saccular aneurysm and the development of strategies for screening patients with intracranial saccular aneurysms.

Accelerated atherosclerosis in ANCA ‐associated vasculitis
ConclusionsOur study adds weight to the presence of increased atherosclerosis in AAV‐patients. The association observed between CIMT and PI‐ICA with small vessel cerebral disease, points the possible association of easy to use carotid US in predicting microvascular brain injury.
