Potential association between bacterial infections and ischemic stroke based on fifty case-control studies: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In this meta-analysis, a significant relationship was observed between infection by three bacteria such as C. pneumoniae, H. pylori, and M. tuberculosis with the occurrence of ischemic stroke. Furthermore, due to the similarity between TLRVYK domain in β2-glycoprotein-I and TLRVYK peptide in various of microorganisms, produced antibodies against pathogens interact with β2-glycoprotein-I, hence the cross-reaction phenomenon increases the positive relationship between infectious diseases and ischemic stroke.PMID:35592534 | PMC:PMC9112101 | DOI:10.1016/j.nmni.2022.100980

Intracranial Large Artery Stenosis and Past Infectious Exposures: Results From the NOMAS Cohort
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic infectious exposures, specifically herpes simplex virus 2 and cytomegalovirus were associated with asymptomatic ILAS as seen on magnetic resonance angiogram imaging. This may represent an additional target of intervention in the ongoing effort to stem the substantial global burden of strokes related to ILAS.PMID:35105181 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.036793

Psychosis Polyrisk Score (PPS) for the Detection of Individuals At-Risk and the Prediction of Their Outcomes
Conclusions
The combination of risk/protective factors encompassing genetic (PRS) and non-genetic information (PPS) holds promise for overcoming the epidemiological weakness of the CHR-P paradigm. The PPS conceptually and empirically developed here will facilitate future research in this field and hopefully advance our ability to detect individuals at-risk for psychosis and forecast their clinical outcomes.

A True Hematologic Emergency
BY GREGORY TAYLOR, DO, & JACKLYN MCPARLANE, DOA 33-year-old woman with a past medical history of sickle cell SS presented to the emergency department with chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a cough for two days. Her chest pain was diffuse, without radiation, and partially reproducible. Her cough was nonproductive, and she also reported fever and chills.The patient noted this was different from her normal back and leg pain from past sickle cell crises. She was following up with a sickle cell specialist, and was compliant with her hydroxyurea treatment.Her temperature was 102.8°F, blood pressure was 94/60 mm...

Carotid intima media thickness and blood biomarkers of atherosclerosis in patients after stroke or myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study supports linear correlations between CIMT and IC and hs-CRP levels. However, these associations seem to depend on the type of vascular burden.

Infectious Burden and Cognitive Decline in the Northern Manhattan Study
ConclusionA quantitative stroke risk‐weighted measure of IB explained variability in baseline executive function performance and associated with decline in memory. Past exposure to common infections may contribute to vascular cognitive impairment and warrants further study.

CDC National Health Report: Leading Causes of Morbidity and Mortality and Associated Behavioral Risk and Protective Factors-United States, 2005-2013.
This report reviews population health in the United States and provides an assessment of recent progress in meeting high-priority health objectives. The health status indicators described in this report were selected because of their direct relation to the leading causes of death and other substantial sources of morbidity and mortality and should be the focus of prevention efforts.
REPORTING PERIOD COVERED: Data are reported starting in 2005 (or the earliest available year since 2005) through the current data year. Because data sources and specific indicators vary regarding when data are available, the most recent yea...

Novel Inflammatory Biomarkers and Their Correlation to Chlamydia pneumoniae Titres in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: The study demonstrated high levels of hsp 65 and neopterin levels in AIS correlated to significantly elevated IgA titres of C pneumoniae. Elevated levels of hsp 65 were associated with stroke severity.

Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and cerebral infarction risk: a meta‐analysis
Conclusion(1) This meta‐analysis indicated that C. pneumoniae infection was significantly associated with an increased risk of cerebral infarction. (2) Compared with anti‐C. pneumoniae immunoglobulin G, anti‐C. pneumoniae immunoglobulin A seemed more effective for predicting the risk of cerebral infarction. (3) No evidence existed that anti‐C. pneumoniae‐immunoglobulin G detected by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay could predict the risk of cerebral infarction.

Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and cerebrovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion:
Association between C.pneumoniae infection and CV disease depends on the analytical method adopted, which seems stronger with stroke due to large artery atherosclerosis. Establishing a causal relationship between C.peumoniae infection and CV disease will require more prospective studies with combination of techniques and stratified by etiological subtypes.

Infectious burden and cognitive function: The Northern Manhattan Study
Conclusion:
A measure of IB associated with stroke risk and atherosclerosis was independently associated with cognitive performance in this multiethnic cohort. Past infections may contribute to cognitive impairment.
