High Cholesterol Levels Are Associated with Improved Long-term Survival after Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: High admission cholesterol may be associated with increased long-term survival after IS. Future studies on the temporal profile of cholesterol levels and stroke outcome would be of interest.

Long-term Improvement in Outcome After Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Patients Treated with Statins
Conclusions: Statin use is associated with improved long-term outcome at 12 months after ICH. This finding supports previous clinical studies that have shown the short-term benefits of statin therapy. In addition, this study correlates with animal studies supporting the possible long-term recovery benefits of statins.

Statin Use and Risk of Cerebral Aneurysm Rupture: A Hospital-based Case–control Study in Japan
Conclusions: This observation from a hospital-based case-control study in Japan suggested that there is inverse relationship between use of statins and cerebral aneurysm rupture. Future clinical studies are needed.

Long-term Adherence to National Guidelines for Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study in a Public Hospital in Chile
Conclusions: The observed significant decrease in adherence to oral anticoagulation in patients with cardioembolic stroke suggests a need for the implementation of specific strategies to achieve the desired secondary prevention goals in these patients. Future research into the evaluation of other factors that could be associated with the lack of adherence to these guidelines, measurements of therapeutic goals, and new therapeutic strategies that are easier to use and that are associated with less risk could improve the prognosis of these patients.

Cerebral Infarction in a Case of Parry-Romberg Syndrome
Our objective is to report a rare coexistence of Parry-Romberg disease and ischemic stroke. Here, we report the case of a 34-year-old woman with Parry-Romberg syndrome who developed cerebral infarction. This patient developed sudden left-sided weakness and was admitted to our hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute cerebral infarction in the posterior limb of the right internal capsule. The patient had been diagnosed with Parry-Romberg syndrome at the age of 12, and she had a history of migraine without aura. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a patent foramen ovale, but no atrial septal aneurysm or deep...

Higher On-admission Serum Triglycerides Predict Less Severe Disability and Lower All-cause Mortality after Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: These data suggest that higher fasting TGs on-admission predict less severe disability, reduced disability progression, and all-cause mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
