Pulmonary hypertension: An unexplored risk factor for stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is one of the most common and significant risk factors for stroke, with the CHADsVAsc score used as the tool for stroke risk assessment. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has not been studied as an independent risk factor for stroke in individuals with Afib.

Association of serum uric acid with risk of stroke in US adults: A cross-sectional study from NHANES 1999 –2020
Stroke is the second-most global death cause, only after ischemic heart disease, and third-most contributor to disability1, making it a major therapeutic challenge. More than 100 million individuals worldwide experience stroke every year, of which 795,000 cases are in the United States.2 Therefore, improved preventive strategies are needed; particularly, strategies targeting the modifiable risk factors of stroke, such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia, may help prevent more than approximately 90% of stroke cases.

RNA binding protein RPS3 mediates microglial polarization by activating NLRP3 inflammasome via SIRT1 in ischemic stroke
Stroke remains the leading cause of death and permanent disability worldwide and ischemic stroke represents 80% of all cases, which brings extremely serious consequences to the family and society.1 Ischemic stroke refers to the general term of cerebral blood supply artery stenosis or occlusion leading to cerebral blood circulation disorder, insufficient blood supply and brain tissue necrosis.2 Cerebral ischemic stroke occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and arteriosclerosis and hypertension are the main pathogenic factors.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Blood Pressure Control After a Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack among Patients at VA Medical Centers
Patients who have experienced a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at elevated risk for a subsequent stroke, other vascular events, and mortality.1, 2 Providing high quality, guideline-concordant management of hypertension is an essential strategy for preventing recurrent events.3-11 Effective management of blood pressure relies on timely access to follow-up outpatient care after an index stroke or TIA.

Proximity to noise sources, socio-economic characteristics and diagnosis of high blood pressure among urban dwellers in ibadan, nigeria
High blood pressure (BP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and death. Studies have identified relationship between noise and high BP, although, limited literature exist on the effects of proximity to healthcare, pharmaceutical shops, bus stops, churches, and mosques on high BP. We investigated the relationship between proximity to noise sources, socioeconomic, demographic factors and diagnosed high BP in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Community health volunteer for blood pressure control in rural people with stroke in India: Pilot randomised trial
To test the hypothesis that an Accredited social health activist (ASHA), a community health volunteer in a task-sharing model can help in sustained control of systolic blood pressure (BP) in rural people with Stroke and hypertension at 6 months follow up.

Endothelial function and arterial stiffness indexes in subjects with carotid plaque and carotid plaque length: A subgroup analysis showing the relationship with hypertension and diabetes
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability globally. A large proportion of ischemic strokes are caused by carotid atherosclerotic plaques. However, the relationship between vascular health status (arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction) and carotid plaque remains unclear.

“Optic nerve sheath diameter detects intracranial hypertension in acute malignant middle cerebral artery infarction”
We congratulate the authors for their idea to utilize ultrasound in the decision making to detect the presence of intracranial hypertension which requires the need of decompressive craniectomy surgery in patients with middle cerebral artery infarction1, but we would like to make some comments.

Risk factors for the rupture of mirror middle cerebral artery aneurysm using computer-assisted semiautomated measurement and hemodynamic analysis
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are associated with high rates of death and disability.1,2 Their rupture is accompanied by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and other severe complications.1,3 Predicting the aneurysms that are prone to rupture is crucial. A study showed that IAs are generated by morphologic changes secondary to blood flow-induced vessel remodeling.4 Hemodynamic and morphological numerically quantified rupture risk.5-7 However, the risks of rupture are also influenced by patient-related factors such as race, gender, hypertension, and smoking.

The correlation between testosterone and stroke and the mediating role of blood pressure: The Henan rural cohort study
Stroke is currently the 2nd leading global cause of death and imposes a heavy burden on socio-economic and human health.1,2 There are many factors affecting stroke, among which blood pressure (BP) plays an important role.3 Many studies have pointed to hypertension as a risk factor for stroke.4-6 A study has shown that the prevention and treatment of stroke can be achieved by appropriately lowering BP.7 Therefore, the relationship between BP and stroke is still worth elucidating.

Could salt intake directly affect the cerebral microvasculature in hypertension?
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a significant cause of stroke and dementia,1,2 as well as gait impairment and falls in the elderly.3 However, its pathophysiology is still poorly understood, and no specific treatment strategies exist.

PRES and RCVS: Two Distinct Entities or a Spectrum of the Same Disease?
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a disorder characterized by vasogenic edema predominantly in the parieto-occipital regions associated with acute onset of neurological symptoms including encephalopathy, seizures, headache, and visual disturbances. It has been classically associated with uncontrolled hypertension, renal failure, exposure to cytotoxic agents, or pre-eclampsia.1,2 Despite its name, PRES it is not universally posterior nor fully reversible. Up to 10-20% of patients can have persistent neurological sequelae,1 therefore prompt recognition and elimination of triggering factors is of paramount importance.

Osuntokun Award Lecture 2021: Challenges of Measuring the Burden of Stroke in Africa
Over recent years non-communicable diseases have dramatically increased in low- and middle-income countries, including those of sub-Saharan Africa. With continuing high levels of infectious disease, these countries now face the double burden of disease. Stroke has emerged as a major cause of hospital admission, disability, and mortality for which the major modifiable risk factor is hypertension, which is often not diagnosed and, even if diagnosed, not treated and, even if treated, not controlled.

Feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the phone based interventions under nurse guidance after stroke (pings) in ghana
PINGS is a clinical trial to evaluate a nurse-led mHealth technology - centered approach to maintaining BP control among recent stroke survivors with hypertension in Ghana. PINGS involves domiciliary BP self-monitoring, mobile phone consultations, phone alerts as reminders, and patient education via text messages. We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of PINGS from the perspective of health workers in general - not necessarily working in stroke rehabilitation.
