The Detrimental Effect of Aging on Leptomeningeal Collaterals in Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: Our findings show that there is a significant interplay between patient age and adequacy of leptomeningeal collateral circulation in patients with proximal MCA occlusion. The relationship could contribute to adverse tissue outcome and thereby to unfavorable clinical outcome observed in elderly patients with ischemic stroke.

Intracranial Hemorrhages Related with Warfarin Use and Comparison of Warfarin and Acetylsalicylic Acid
Conclusions: Use of warfarin, low GCS score, opening to ventricle, older age, accompanying diabetes, and/or hypertension were worse prognostic factors. It is possible that patients with these unfavorable prognostic factors cannot survive.

Hemorrhagic Transformation during Thrombolytic Therapy and Reperfusion: Effects of Age, Blood Pressure, and Matrix Metalloproteinases
Background: Despite the increasing use of thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic transformation remains a significant complication. Transformation appears to occur more frequently with age, diabetes, and hypertension, but clinical data are mixed. In addition to risk factors, matrix metalloproteinase expression mediates hemorrhage. We sought to test the effects of age, hypertension, and matrix metalloproteinases during recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) treatment in a standard model of filament occlusion of the middle cerebral artery.Methods: We compared young and aged rats who were geneti...

Hypertension Increases the Risk of Cerebral Microbleed in the Territory of Posterior Cerebral Artery: A Study of the Association of Microbleeds Categorized on a Basis of Vascular Territories and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Conclusions: Hypertension increases the risk of microbleeds in the territory of the posterior cerebral artery and the deep and infratentorial locations. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy may be responsible for the microbleeds in the lobar area of brain.

Cerebral Hemorrhage in a Paucisymptomatic Young Patient with Fabry Disease
Fabry disease is an inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal exoglycohydrolase α-galactosidase A. It has an X-linked inheritance and occurs in all ethnic groups, with an incidence of 1 in 40,000 in the general population. The incidence of cerebrovascular accidents in patients affected by Fabry disease is much higher than in the general population. Moreover, there is a greater prevalence of hypertension, cardiac disease, and renal disease in patients affected by Fabry disease that have suffered a stroke. Here we present the case of a paucisymptomatic young man affected by F...

Dysphagia Screening and Hospital-acquired Pneumonia in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: Findings from Get with the Guidelines–Stroke
Conclusions: HAP occurs in 1 of 17 hospitalized stroke patients and is associated with a greater than 5-fold increase in mortality. DS did not occur in 31.1% of eligible patients, with increased screening among those with more severe strokes and those who developed HAP. The attenuation of the relationship between DS and HAP risk when controlling for NIHSS score suggests the association between screening and pneumonia is confounded by severity. Controlled trials are needed to determine DS effectiveness.

Isolated Body Lateropulsion in a Patient with Pontine Infarction
A 72-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and hypertension was admitted to our hospital with lightheadedness. The patient showed lateropulsion to the right side, but his neurological findings were otherwise normal. Brain magnetic resonance images showed a fresh ischemic infarct in the left dorsal part of the lower pons. Body lateropulsion is characterized by an irresistible falling to one side and has been reported in lesions in several brain regions. However, it has rarely been reported in pontine lesions. We suggest that physicians should be aware that pontine lesions can cause isolated body lateropulsion without other n...

Intensive Blood Pressure–Lowering Treatment in Patients with Acute Lacunar Infarction
Conclusions: Considerable reduction in 24-hour BP levels was attained around day 21. The limit of BP level to which BP can be safely lowered appears to be lower than that was previously considered.

Safety and Effectiveness of Endovascular Treatment after 6 Hours of Symptom Onset in Patients with Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke: A Matched Case Control Study
Conclusions: We did not observe any evidence of benefit in halting neurologic worsening or improving outcomes among patients undergoing endovascular treatment for treatment of an anterior circulation ischemic stroke after 6 hours of symptom onset. Strong evidence of both the safety and efficacy of emergent endovascular treatment when administered to patients with stroke in the anterior circulation is needed.

Retinal Vascular Fractal Dimension Is Associated with Cognitive Dysfunction
This study examined the relationship of retinal vascular fractal dimension and other retinal vascular parameters with cognitive dysfunction in an older Asian population. Subjects aged 60 years and older from the Singapore Malay Eye Study were selected for analysis. Retinal vascular fractal dimension (Df) and other quantitative retinal vascular parameters (branching angle, tortuosity, and caliber) were measured based on a standardized grading protocol from photographs of the retinal fundus using a computer-assisted program. Qualitative retinal signs were also assessed from photographs. Cognitive dysfunction was defined as a...

Amusia for Pitch Caused by Right Middle Cerebral Artery Infarct
A 61-year-old right-handed man with hypertension and dyslipidemia noted that he was singing along to classic rock songs on his car radio, but his voice was off pitch. Six days later, a magnetic resonance imaging scan of his brain revealed a cerebral infarct of the right temporal parietal cortex and insula. Case reports of the precise anatomic correlates of disordered pitch musical processing have been few and fragmentary. The anatomic involvement of our case coincides with the areas of involvement in 3 previously reported cases. Increased awareness of amusia as a rare clinical presentation of stroke should lead to earlier stroke intervention.

Disparities in Stroke Type and Vascular Risk Factors Between 2 Hispanic Populations in Miami and Mexico City
Conclusions: We found significant differences in the frequency of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and atrial fibrillation in Miami Hispanics and Mexican stroke patients, highlighting the heterogeneity of the Hispanic ethnic group. Future studies are needed to clarify the relative contribution of genetic and environmental disparities amongst Mexican and Caribbean Hispanic stroke patients.

Risk of Metabolic Syndrome for Stroke Is Not Greater than the Sum of its Components: Thai Epidemiologic Stroke (TES) Study
This study aimed to assess the association of MetS with stroke, and to evaluate whether the risk of MetS is greater than the sum of its components. The Thai Epidemiologic Stroke (TES) study is a community-based cohort study with 19,997 participants, aged 45-80 years, recruited from the general population from 5 regions of Thailand. Baseline survey data were analyzed in cross-sectional analyses. MetS was defined according to criteria from the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III, the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (revised NCEP), and International Diab...
