Intracranial and Extracranial Arterial Dissection Presenting with Ischemic Stroke: Lesion Location and Stroke Mechanism
Although cervicocranial artery dissections (CADs) are common causes of ischemic stroke in young individuals, anatomical locations and mechanisms of ischemic strokes are still unclear.We evaluate the prevalence, location, and pathogenic mechanisms of ischemic stroke caused by CADs.

Mobile Health Medication Adherence and Blood Pressure Control in Recent Stroke Patients
Among stroke survivors, achieving consistency of blood pressure (BP) control lowers risk of recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, and other vascular events.1,2 However, less than one third of recent stroke survivors have BP controlled ≥ 75% of the time. 2 Key factors responsible for suboptimal BP control are medication non-adherence and failure to intensify therapy in a timely manner (i.e., therapeutic inertia). 3, 4 Efficacious BP control programs are needed which are feasible, and sustainable.

Clinical impact of leukoaraiosis burden and chronological age on neurological deficit recovery and 90-day outcome after minor ischemic stroke
Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of disability, particularly among the elderly, but this association has not been consistently noted among patients with minor stroke. We sought to determine the association of chronological age and leukoaraiosis, which is considered a marker of biological age, with the degree of neurological deficit recovery and 90-day disability after minor ischemic stroke.

The susceptibility vessel sign containing two compositions on 3-TT2*-weighted image and single corticosubcortical infarct on diffusion-weighted image are associated with cardioembolic stroke
Although accurate diagnosis of the ischemic stroke subtype is one of the most important factors for selection of therapeutic approach, it is sometimes difficult at the time of admission. We previously reported that susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) with two layers (termed two-layered SVS) on 3-T-T2*-weighted image (T2*-WI) might be useful to predict cardioembolic stroke in patients with cerebral major vessel occlusion. We studied about biomarkers on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including two-layered SVS for diagnosing cardioembolic stroke.

Thrombolysis for acute stroke in patient with systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report
We present a case of 40-year-old woman with an acute stroke who received rt-PA. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large ischemic stroke in right hemisphere and a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed signs of vasculitis.

Heart failure and the risk of ischemic stroke recurrence: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Heart failure (HF) is known to be a major risk factor for first-ever ischemic stroke (IS), and is associated with greater stroke severity and higher rates of early mortality and residual disability. There are limited data regarding the association of HF with stroke recurrence. We sought to evaluate the relationship between HF and recurrent IS using a comprehensive meta-analytical approach. We performed a systematic literature review according to PRISMA guidelines to identify all prospective study protocols (randomized clinical trials or observational cohorts) that reported rates of IS recurrence in patients with concomitant HF.

Stroke induces specific alteration of T memory compartment controlling auto-reactive CNS antigen-specific T cell responses
Whether and when auto-reactivity after stroke occurs is still a matter of debate. By using overlapping 15mer peptide pools consisting of myelin basic protein (MBP) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) we show increased frequencies of immunodominant MOG- and MBP T cell responses in acute ischemic stroke which were associated with reduced frequencies of naïve T cells as well as CD8+ TEMRA cells. Auto-reactive CNS antigen-specific T cells responses as well as alterations of T cell subpopulations normalized in long-term follow up after stroke.

Post-Stroke Epilepsy in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is defined as “recurrent seizures following stroke with confirmed diagnosis of epilepsy”. Our objective was to describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic PSE aspects at the Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital, the main reference centre for neurological conditions in Burkina Faso. We conducted a retrospective study from January 2006 to December 2014. The data on thirty-two (32) cases of PSE was collected from a total of 1616 patients hospitalized for stroke, representing a rate of 1.98%.

Long-term effects of white matter changes on the risk of stroke recurrence after carotid artery stenting in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis
Cerebral white matter changes (WMC) are associated with increased 30-day perioperative risk of stroke in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS). However, there is no data showing their impact on postoperative long-term stroke recurrence or survival. It remains unknown whether this effect is independent of classic cardiovascular risk factors or not. We tried to assess the effects of WMC on long-term stroke recurrence after CAS in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis.
