In-Hospital Stroke Recurrence and Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack: Frequency and Risk Factors Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In-hospital stroke recurrence was low with optimal current management. Patients with a history of TIA, severe symptomatic carotid stenosis, or uncommon causes of stroke were at higher risk. Pneumonia was associated with a higher risk of stroke recurrence in patients with initial TIA or minor stroke but not in the overall population studied. Aphasia may bias the detection rate by concealing new neurological symptoms.

Biomarkers and Mortality After Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Ischemic Stroke: Population-Based Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Several biomarkers predicted death of any cause after transient ischemic attack and minor stroke. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and heart-type fatty-acid-binding protein might improve patient selection for additional screening for occult cardiac disease or cancer, respectively. However, our results require validation in future studies.

Twelve-Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Genetic Risk Score Identifies Individuals at Increased Risk for Future Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— An AF-GRS can identify 20% of individuals who are at 2-fold increased risk for incident AF and at 23% increased risk for ischemic stroke. Targeting diagnostic or therapeutic interventions to this subset may prove clinically useful.

Cryptogenic Subtype Predicts Reduced Survival Among Cancer Patients With Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Cryptogenic stroke is independently associated with reduced survival in patients with active cancer and ischemic stroke.

Prediction of Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis in the General Population: Identification of High-Risk Groups Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— A clinical prediction rule was developed that allows identification of subgroups with high prevalence of moderate (>50%) and severe (>70%) ACAS. When confirmed in comparable cohorts, application of the prediction rule may lead to a reduction in the number needed to screen for ACAS.

Primary Preventive Potential for Stroke by Avoidance of Major Lifestyle Risk Factors: The European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition-Heidelberg Cohort Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Our analysis confirms the strong primary prevention potential for stroke based on avoidance of excess body weight, smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.

Postacute Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1{alpha} Expression Promotes Neurovascular Recovery in Ischemic Mice Basic Sciences
Conclusions— SDF-1α promoted neurogenesis and angiogenesis during the postacute phase of ischemia without eliciting an inflammatory response. AAV-SDF-1α expression represents a promising avenue for ischemic stroke therapy with a wider treatment window.

Bone Mineral Density and Incidence of Stroke: European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer-Norfolk Population-Based Study, Systematic Review, and Meta-Analysis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Bone mineral density predicts total stroke risk. The evidence is stronger in women with regard to the continuous relationship.

Adiponectin and Risk of Stroke: Prospective Study and Meta-analysis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Adiponectin is not associated with risk of stroke. If anything, adiponectin relates directly to stroke risk after controlling for risk factors that favorably correlate with adiponectin.

Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor: A Risk Factor for Carotid Plaque, Stroke, and Coronary Artery Disease Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— suPAR is associated with increased occurrence of carotid plaque and increased incidence of ischemic stroke and CAD. Presence of both elevated levels of suPAR and carotid plaque increases the risk of ischemic stroke in an additive way.

Preventable Readmissions Within 30 Days of Ischemic Stroke Among Medicare Beneficiaries Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— On the basis of Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention Quality Indicators, we found that a small proportion of readmissions after ischemic stroke were classified as preventable. Although other causes of readmissions not reflected in the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality measures could also be avoidable, hospital-level programs intended to reduce all-cause readmissions and costs should target high-risk patients.
