Exploring Stroke Risk Factors and Outcomes in Sexual and Gender Minority People
Discussion SGM people may have different risk factors, different mechanisms of stroke, and higher risk of recurrent stroke compared with non-SGM people. Standardized collection of sexual orientation and gender identity would enable larger studies to further understand disparities, leading to secondary prevention strategies.

Prothrombotic factors do not increase the risk of recurrent ischemic events after cryptogenic stroke at young age: the FUTURE study
ConclusionsThe prevalence of prothrombotic factors and preceding infections did not significantly differ between stroke patients with a cryptogenic versus an identified cause of stroke and neither is significantly associated with an increased risk of recurrent ischemic events after cryptogenic stroke.

The associations of increased cerebral small vessel disease with cognitive impairment in neurosyphilis presenting with ischemic stroke
ConclusionsCerebral small vessel disease loads in neurosyphilis patients presenting with ischemic stroke are independently associated with acute cognitive impairment and have a prospective value for post-stroke cognitive outcomes.

Small vessel occlusion and syphilis in patients with first-ever ischemic stroke
Conclusion: The current study showed that the frequency of positive syphilis serological test was higher in patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and SVD as the potential causal mechanism. This finding could be related to the endothelial dysfunction occurring in syphilis.RESUMO Introdu ção: A sífilis é uma doença endêmica, especialmente em países de baixa e média renda, com acometimento vascular descrito em grandes vasos (aortite), porém nenhuma relação clara foi reconhecida em paciente com acidente vascular cerebral, exceto para aqueles com sífilis meningovascular. O bjetivos: Investigar a relação entre h...

Stroke and syphilis: A retrospective study of 53 patients.
CONCLUSION: A diagnosis of syphilitic stroke should be suspected in young patients as a manifestation of syphilis, and tests for neurosyphilis should be routine in neurology departments to make a prompt diagnosis, thereby preventing psychological sequelae.

Diagnostic value of color-coded duplex sonography in patients with ischemic stroke and congenital changes in the circle of Willis
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2016 Source:Cor et Vasa Author(s): I. Staikov, I. Stoyanov, M. Staneva, N. Neykov, G. Kirova, P. Polomski, I. Petrov The circle of Willis (CoW) forms the main circulatory system in the human brain. A large number of variations of the CoW is known, and also their association with ischemic stroke. Three cases of young patients with combination of ischemic stroke and anomalies in the CoW are presented, and the value of the color-coded duplex sonography (CCDS) is compared to other imaging diagnostics such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and digital subtraction ang...

The Great Imitator—Still Today! A Case of Meningovascular Syphilis Affecting the Posterior Circulation
We describe clinical features and imaging studies of a 50-year-old patient with Parinaud syndrome and a syphilitic dorsal midbrain infarction. Brain magnetic resonance imaging indicated vasculitis of the posterior circulation. The diagnosis of meningovascular syphilis was established by serum and cerebrospinal fluid examinations. Although rare, because of the high impact on treatment, clinicians should always be aware of meningovascular syphilis in the differential diagnosis of stroke, particularly in young and male patients with cryptogenic stroke.

Infectious Etiologies of Stroke
Semin Neurol 2019; 39: 482-494 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1687915Central nervous system (CNS) infections are a frequently underappreciated potential etiology of cerebrovascular disease. Highlighted in this review are a selection of infectious agents that lead to cerebrovascular complications through various mechanisms including multifocal vasculopathy, focal infiltrative vasculitis and vasospasm, and direct vessel wall invasion and thrombus formation. Diagnosis of stroke due to underlying CNS infection requires a high index of clinical suspicion and careful consideration of neuroimaging, serum, and cerebrospinal fluid studies in ...

What Causes Facial Nerve Palsy?
Discussion Facial nerve palsy has been known for centuries, but in 1821 unilateral facial nerve paralysis was described by Sir Charles Bell. Bell’s palsy (BP) is a unilateral, acute facial paralysis that is clinically diagnosed after other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate history, physical examination and/or laboratory testing or imaging. Symptoms include abnormal movement of facial nerve. It can be associated with changes in facial sensation, hearing, taste or excessive tearing. The right and left sides are equally affected but bilateral BP is rare (0.3%). Paralysis can be complete or incomplete at prese...

The Most Unusual Deaths By State, In One Map
What are the most distinctive deaths by state? Researcher Francis Boscoe of the New York State Cancer Registry set out to answer that question by analyzing the deaths in each state from 2001 to 2010. Out of a total 136 causes of death, Boscoe pinpointed the number one reason people in different states died that was distinct from the United States’ general population. Now keep in mind that these aren’t the most common deaths in each state. Instead, think of these deaths as the ones that a state had in a disproportionately high number compared to the national average. The map, Boscoe explained, is a good way to illu...

Serum TRSUT Titer ≥1: 16 Is a Predictor for Neurosyphilis Among HIV-Infected Patients With Concurrent Syphilis and No Neurological Symptoms
Abstract: Investigating the predictors for lumbar puncture to diagnose the asymptomatic neurosyphilis among HIV and syphilis co-infected patients in Shanghai, China. Respectively, screening the medical records from August 1, 2009 to June 30, 2015. Those HIV-infected patients with concurrent syphilis who had received lumbar puncture were selected and their clinical and demographic data were recorded. Participants comprised symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The latter ones could be further divided into 3 groups: late syphilis, early syphilis with anti-syphilis treatment failure, and early syphilis with serum toludine re...
