Association of lipid profiles with severity and outcome of acute ischemic stroke in patients with and without chronic kidney disease
ConclusionLDL-C levels are positively associated with stroke severity in only patients with CKD, with an interactive impact of LDL-C and CKD on ischemic stroke in the acute phase.

White matter hyperintensity determines ischemic stroke severity in symptomatic carotid artery stenosis
ConclusionOur study showed that larger WMH volume is associated with more severe stroke and poorer prognosis in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.

Characteristics of cerebral ischemic stroke based on moyamoya disease and atherosclerosis-associated intracranial arterial stenosis
ConclusionsDiffering from LAS stroke, MMD stroke mainly presents with WSI and does not feature with platelet hyper-aggregation and fragmentation of ulcer plaque. Whereby, focusing on perfusion improvement rather than antiplatelets and statins may be the predominant step in MMD-stroke correction.

Real-time data on the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke patients in the Tochigi Clinical ObservatioNal registry for 1-year mortality of aCute ischEmic stRoke patieNt (T-CONCERN) study
ConclusionsOur study reveals the real-time survival data 1  year after the onset of a stroke, in-hospital and post-discharge mortality rates, and several issues associated with the treatment of acute ischemic strokes.

Quantification of retinal ganglion cell loss in patients with homonymous visual field defect due to stroke
ConclusionsReduction of SD-OCT parameters occurs following both ischaemic and haemorrhagic occipital stroke, but it is larger when the injury extends to parietal territories and increases as time since stroke increases. The size of visual field defect is unrelated to SD-OCT measurements. Macular GCC thinning appeared to be more sensitive than pRNFL in detecting retrograde retinal ganglion cell degeneration and its retinotopic pattern in stroke.

Factors associated with early hospital arrival in acute ischemic stroke patients
Abstract Early diagnosis and treatment in acute ischemic stroke are crucial in terms of survival and disability. Many stroke patients remain disabled because of the treatment delay. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with the early hospital arrival in acute ischemic stroke patients. 113 patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke were included in this prospective study performed at the Karadeniz Technical University Medical Faculty Hospital. Patients’ characteristics and patients’ and relatives’ emotional and behavioral reactions were compared between early (within 3 ...

Cerebrospinal fluid levels of free fatty acid associated with ischemic stroke recurrence and functional outcome
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of free fatty acid (FFA) and functional outcome and stroke recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke. In a prospective study, CSF levels of FFA were measured using an enzyme cycling method on admission in 217 consecutive patients with first-ever ischemic stroke. Clinical information was collected. Functional outcome and stroke recurrence were evaluated at 1-year follow-up. Multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression models. The CSF FFA level was obtained in all patients with a median value o...

Migraine as a risk factor for young patients with ischemic stroke: a case –control study
AbstractStudies have suggested a possible association of migraine and increased risk of ischemic stroke in young adults, particularly in smokers and in women who use oral contraceptive drugs. We aimed to analyze the association between migraine and ischemic stroke in young population in a hospital-based cohort. We included 202 consecutive patients with the diagnosis of ischemic stroke who were between 15 and 50  years and age- and gender-matched 250 volunteers with no history of stroke. All participants were interviewed using a questionnaire for migraine. Localization of ischemic lesion was classified as anterior and post...

Small vessel disease and clinical outcomes after endovascular treatment in acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsPre-existing SVD burden, mainly driven by brain atrophy, negatively affects early and late clinical outcomes in anterior circulation ischemic stroke treated with endovascular therapy. Our results may help prognostic stratification of stroke patients treated with endovascular therapy.

Low homoarginine/SDMA ratio is associated with poor short- and long-term outcome after stroke in two prospective studies
ConclusionThese results from two prospective stroke studies reveal that hArg/SDMA ratio could prove a valuable blood-based biomarker to discriminate patients with poor short- and long-term outcome, increased neurological impairment, and severe disability after stroke.

The impact of cigarette smoking in predicting stroke using CHADS 2 and CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc schemas
ConclusionCigarette smoking status has impact on stroke stratification using CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scheme. The discrimination of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scheme for stroke can be significantly improved if smoking status is additionally considered.

Impact of COVID-19 on stroke admissions, treatments, and outcomes at a comprehensive stroke centre in the United Kingdom
ConclusionsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of stroke admissions fell, and stroke severity increased. There was no statistically significant change in the delivery of thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy and no increase in mortality.

The influence of statin withdrawal and adherence on stroke outcomes
ConclusionThe suboptimal use of statins is associated with significantly worse clinical outcomes in stroke patients.

Cumulative risk of stroke recurrence over the last 10  years: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe risk of stroke recurrence varies greatly from 3  months to over 10 years and increases significantly over time in both young and old subgroup. The heterogeneity may be explained by follow-up time, regions, age, methodology differences, and stroke types, which was needed further exploration in future.

Fabry-Stroke Italian Registry (FSIR): a nationwide, prospective, observational study about incidence and characteristics of Fabry-related stroke in young-adults. Presentation of the study protocol
DiscussionThe potential implications of this study are as follows: (i) to add information about the yield of systematic screening for Fabry disease in a prospective large cohort of acute cerebrovascular patients; (ii) to deepen knowledge of clinical, pathophysiological, and prognostic characteristics of Fabry-related stroke.
