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.

Carotid IMT is more associated with stroke than risk calculators
ConclusionCIMT, but neither FRS nor ORS, is independently associated with stroke among Nigerian African hypertensive patients. CIMT may be a better tool for estimating the overall risk of stroke than FRS or ORS in this population.

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.

Clinical outcome of cardioembolic stroke treated by intravenous thrombolysis
ConclusionsCardioembolic strokes are not associated with increased mortality. Patients with CS are less likely to have sICH and have better outcome after IVT.

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.

Identifying patients at risk of acute symptomatic seizure after ischemic stroke
ConclusionsBecause of low incidence and the lack of specific risk factors, acute symptomatic seizure after ischemic stroke is hard to predict. The negative effect of seizure on stroke outcome is uncertain, and more thorough studies are needed because of possible subtle or non‐overt seizures.

APOL1, CDKN2A/CDKN2B, and HDAC9 polymorphisms and small vessel ischemic stroke
ConclusionThis is the first report of a specific association of APOL1 with a stroke subtype. Further research is needed to confirm these initial findings and deepen understanding of the genetics of stroke in people of African ancestry with possible implications for other ancestries as all humans originated from Africa.

Married, unmarried, divorced, and widowed and the risk of stroke
ConclusionsDivorce was associated with higher risk of stroke, especially in men. Living in marriage or as unmarried or widower had only little or no impact on the risk of stroke.

Impact of early statin therapy in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack
ConclusionsIn acute ischemic stroke, patients receiving late statin treatment carried a poorer clinical outcome than those with earlier statin initiation. Inhospital statin use after an acute ischemic stroke did not increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.

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.

RAAS and stress markers in acute ischemic stroke: preliminary findings
ConclusionIncreased epinephrine and cortisol levels in the jugular vein blood may reflect a higher peripheral turnover. The observed changes in RAAS in the acute stroke phase are consistent with responses to increased blood pressure.

Hip fracture after first‐ever stroke: a population‐based study
ConclusionsThese findings imply that osteoporosis may play a major role in the occurrence of hip fracture in the first four years after a first‐ever stroke. Early intervention to prevent bone loss should be regarded as an important part in stroke management, especially in older females, and should be sustained for four years at least. The benefit of antidepressants in stroke patients should be weighed against the increased risk of hip fracture.
