Low value of inherited thrombophilia testing among patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack: A three-year retrospective study
Inherited thrombophilia testing in the acute inpatient setting is controversial and expensive, and rarely changes clinical management. We evaluated ordering patterns and results of inpatient inherited thrombophilia testing for patients who presented with an isolated acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) without concurrent venous thromboembolism.

Mediterranean-style diet and intracranial large artery stenosis in the Northern Manhattan Study
Intracranial large artery stenosis (ICAS) is one of the most common causes of stroke worldwide.1 Among stroke-free community-dwelling adults, ICAS is prevalent, associated with modifiable vascular risk factors, and confers risk of incident vascular events.2 Given prior work linking a Mediterranean-style diet (MeDi), which is rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, to reduced risk of vascular conditions and cardiovascular events,3,4 we hypothesized MeDi may also be protective against ICAS.

Predictors of quality of life at 6 months in patients with mild stroke: A prospective observational cohort study
Stroke can result in several functional impairments.1 Functional impairments could reduce the quality of life (QoL) to some extent in patients with stroke.2,3 Therefore, predicting factors affecting the QoL of patients with stroke is important for stroke rehabilitation. Notably, several studies have been conducted to predict factors affecting the QoL of patients with stroke.4 –10 These studies have reported that the QoL of patients with stroke was determined by age and sex,4 stroke type,5 stroke side,6 hospitalization period,7 and stroke severity.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at admission is a risk factor for in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy: A case control study
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a clinically important complication in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy. The present study was to explore the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who had received dual antiplatelet therapy.

Healthcare expenditure trends among adult stroke patients in the United States, 2011-2020
In the US, between 2018 and 2019, approximately $57 billion were expended on stroke and related conditions. The aim of this study was to understand trends in direct healthcare expenditures among stroke patients using novel cost estimation methods and a nationally representative database.

Transradial versus transfemoral access for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke: A retrospective cohort study
The objective of this study was to compare procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated via transradial access (TRA) mechanical thrombectomy (MT) versus conventional transfemoral access (TFA).

Association of remnant cholesterol with intracranial atherosclerosis in community-based population: The ARIC study
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is one of the main prevalent causes of ischemic stroke globally.1,2 However, even with aggressive medical management, the annual rate of stroke recurrence remains high among individuals with multiple risk factors and severe stenosis.2 Moreover, ICAS has been connected to an elevated risk of mild cognitive impairment and dementia3, which confers an extra necessity for the identification of risk factors associated with ICAS.

Subcortical infarcts in patients with nonstenotic cervical atherosclerotic disease
Prior studies have elucidated a relationship between nonstenotic plaque in patients with cryptogenic embolic infarcts with a largely cortical topology, however, it is unclear if nonstenotic cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) plaque is relevant in subcortical cryptogenic infarct patterns.

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors as a risk factor for chronic subdural hematoma recurrence: A matter of debate
Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common central nervous system condition. Recent reports indicate that cSDH affects long-term prognosis; however, its definitive risk factors remain unknown. An antihypertensive drug, renin –angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), can affect vascular permeability and cell proliferation processes, which may suppress the recurrence of cSDH. However, several studies have reported negative results to this effect. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate antihypertensive drugs, includ ing RAASi, as risk factors for recurrent cSDH.

Tele-rehabilitation on independence in activities of daily living after stroke: A Matched Case-Control Study
Rehabilitation is one of the most important aspects of care following a stroke, leading to better recovery and higher levels of independence.1 Previous studies have shown that 25% –74% of patients who had a stroke need assistance from caregivers for activities of daily living (ADLs), with quality of life (of both patients and caregivers) being heavily impacted due to this.2 The assessment of ADLs in adults who have had a stroke has recently been reported as a crucial moment for the entire field of rehabilitation3 and improving ADLs is always taken as an essential aim of rehabilitation.

Skin capillary amylin deposition resembles brain amylin vasculopathy in rats
Human amylin is a 37 amino-acid pancreatic peptide that forms neuro-toxic aggregates that deposit in the endothelium of brain capillaries of patients with diabetes, potentially contributing to cerebral small vessel ischemic injury. Pathogenic amylin also deposits in the capillary endothelium in other organs, including the skin. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that skin capillary amylin deposition correlates with cerebral small vessel amylin deposition, potentially providing a clinically useful marker of cerebral amylin deposition.

Predictive utility of stress tests in the detection of asymptomatic coronary artery disease in atherosclerotic stroke patients
Whether and how atherosclerotic ischemic stroke patients should be investigated for asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) is controversial. Our aim was to carry out a prospective observational study to determine the frequency and predictors of functionally significant coronary stenosis in these patients as well as the predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during post-stroke follow-up.

Dysphagia after ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke: A propensity-matched 20-year analysis of the national inpatient sample
Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is a common and debilitating complication of acute stroke associated with increased mortality and morbidity.1,2 Globally, 12.2 million strokes occur every year and 1 in 4 adults over the age of 25 will have a stroke within their lifetime.3 Of these, 87% of strokes are considered ischemic strokes (AIS) and 10% are hemorrhagic (ICH), both of which are associated with dysphagia as an adverse event.4 Recent studies have found that the prevalence of long-term PSD ranges from 42-50% and was an independent risk factor for prolonged hospital stay, institutionalization after discharge, poorer functional ...
