Factors influencing recurrence after an ischemic stroke vary by sex
We examined relative factors associated with recurrent stroke in Chinese patients with first-ever ischemic stroke. LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) Cox regression were used to determine the predictors of recurrent stroke in the male and female groups. Next, We used Kaplan-Meier survival curves and interactions among these predictors to assess the association between relapse-related factors and recurrent stroke.RESULTS: During one year of follow-up, we documented 42 incidents of recurrent stroke in males and 15 in females. There was no significant difference in the overall recurrence rate between men ...

Effect of rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis on the prognosis of patients with minor ischemic stroke
Conclusion: Patients with MIS received intravenous thrombolysis may be associated with earlier neurological improvement, but might has no significant effect on long-term prognosis. The level of neutrophil ratio and CRP at admission are risk factors determining the prognosis, which requires further research.PMID:33847231 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2021.1908672

An analysis of the risk of perioperative ischemic stroke in patients undergoing non-cardiovascular and non-neurological surgeries.
Conclusions: History of stroke and smoking, renal insufficiency, and low HDL-C are independent risk factors for PIS. It is feasible to assess the risk of stroke in preoperative patients using PCE in clinical practice. PMID: 31903867 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Expression of telomere repeat binding factor 1 and TRF2 in Alzheimer's disease and correlation with clinical parameters.
CONCLUSION: TRF1 and TRF2 may be both specific to peripheral blood serum of AD, and may be related to the development of AD. PMID: 30761946 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The correlation of D-dimer levels with patient outcomes in acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease complicating coronary heart disease.
CONCLUSIONS: AICVD patients complicating CHD is very common in clinical practice. The AICVD patients that complicating CHD showed worse outcomes within 90 days after initial onset of stroke. The D-dimer levels of patients with AICVD complicating CHD were higher. Patients in the CHD group, whose D-dimer levels were higher than the normal standard, had worst outcomes. Paying close attention to the stage of the coronary artery disease and indicators of the coagulation-fibrinolysis is beneficial in the optimization of the clinical treatment for AICVD patients. Maybe the results of this study could provide some reference for s...
