Pre-Existing Dementia in Octagenerians with Acute Ischemic Stroke
To investigate the prevalance of pre-existing dementia and vascular risk factors in hospitalized octaganerians with acute ischemic stroke. Study subjects were selected from neurology inpatient records of Haseki Research and Education Hospital and included inpatients over 80 years old with acute ischemic stroke between January 2010 and July 2013. Their medical records were reviewed, and the rates of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation and dementia were calculated.

Should This Patient With Global Aphasia After a Left Cerebral Stroke Be Admitted to Your Hospital-Based Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit?
You are the medical director of a very busy, 20-bed, general inpatient rehabilitation unit (IRU) at a community hospital. About 40% of admissions to the unit are persons with moderate and severe stroke from the geographic region, and your census runs very nearly 100% capacity, usually with a waiting list. The neurology service asks you to assess a 60-year-old man with a long history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus who is now 6 days post a large left middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemic stroke.

Studies: Low-Dose Aspirin May Not Prevent Initial Heart Attack, Stroke
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds. Although it’s been used for more than a century, aspirin’s value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don’t yet have heart disease or a blood vessel-related problem. One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks...

Effect of glycated hemoglobin index and mean arterial pressure on acute ischemic stroke prognosis after intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator
To determine whether glycated hemoglobin and mean arterial pressure (MAP) during thrombolysis are prognostic factors of intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A total of 125 AIS patients, who received rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis in our hospital, were included into the present study, and divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the prognostic factors of AIS treated by rt-PA thrombolysis, Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlatio...

Response by Sarfo to letter regarding “Patients with hypertension and/or diabetes and incident stroke: A risk assessment”
We sincerely thank Dr. Kawada for his interest in our study titled ‘Incident stroke among Ghanaians with hypertension and diabetes: a multicenter, prospective study’. The aim of our study [1] was to assess the rates and determinants of incident stroke among a prospective, hospital-based Ghanaian cohort with hypertension and or type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this regard, our study was not designed to “evaluate the risk of hypertension and diabetes for incident stroke” as specified by our correspondents.

Longitudinal assessment of anxiety/depression rates and their related predictive factors in acute ischemic stroke patients: A 36-month follow-up study
This study aimed at investigating the longitudinal changes of poststroke anxiety/depression rates, and their potential risk factors in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. A total of 250 first diagnosis of AIS patients were enrolled and followed for 36 months. Anxiety/depression of patients were assessed using hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) at month (M) 0 (M0) and then every 3 months till M36. During 36-month follow-up, both HADS-anxiety score (from 6.9 ± 3.1 at M0 to 8.0 ± 3.5 at M36) and anxiety rate (from 41.2% at M0 to 54.0% at M36) (both P  .05) displayed an upward trend with tim...

Daily low-dose aspirin can prevent heart attack and stroke but is often misused
Aspirin is often hailed as a wonder drug, thanks to its ability to help stave off heart attacks and clot-caused strokes. But fewer than half of people who could benefit from a daily low-dose aspirin take it, while many others take it when they shouldn't, reports the January 2014 Harvard Heart Letter. If you don't have heart disease, but do have high blood pressure, diabetes, or other risk factors for heart disease, don't automatically assume that taking aspirin every day is a good idea. "A lot of people take aspirin who really shouldn't," says Dr. Christopher Cannon, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and profe...

Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension and Diabetes and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke, and Diabetes Hospitalization in the Year Following Delivery
We examined hospital discharge diagnoses linked to birth certificate data in the year following delivery for 849,639 births during 1995–2004 in New York City, New York. Adjusted odds ratios characterized the relationship between pregnancy complications and subsequent hospitalization for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes. Gestational hypertension was related to heart failure (adjusted odds ratio = 2.6, 95% confidence interval: 1.5, 4.5). Preeclampsia was related to all of the outcomes considered except type 1 diabetes, with adjusted odds ratios ranging from 2.0 to 4.1. Gestational diabetes was strongly rela...

Otitis Media Leads to Brain Abscess Presenting as Stroke
By Mikhail Elfond, DO; Esi Quayson, MD; & Joseph V.M. Kelly, MD, MBA   A 65-year-old man presented to the ED via EMS with symptoms of stroke. The paramedics stated his right-sided weakness and speech difficulty started 40 minutes prior to presentation in the ED. En route to the hospital, paramedics observed four episodes of facial twitching.     Vitals signs were significant for a rectal temperature of 100.2°F and a fingerstick blood sugar of 220 mg/dL. History of present illness was significant for a diagnosis of left otitis media treated with Augmentin and Vicodin at an urgent care center one day prior to prese...

Statin drugs reduce infection risk in stroke patients, report suggests
Statin drugs can dramatically lower the risk of infections in stroke patients, report researchers. Patients on statins upon admission to hospital, or early in their stay, had significantly lower risk for developing infections than those put on statins later in their hospitalization or not at all. These findings remained strong after being controlled for other possible influences like the severity of strokes, age and the presence of other conditions like diabetes.

Sulfonylurea Pretreatment and In-Hospital Use Does Not Impact Acute Ischemic Strokes (AIS) Outcomes Following Intravenous Thrombolysis
Preliminary studies have indicated that sulfonylurea drugs (SUD) may confer protection against cerebral swelling and hemorrhagic transformation in severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We sought to determine whether pretreatment and in-hospital use of SUD may be associated with better outcomes in diabetic AIS patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

Clinical Reasoning: Sudden-onset pulsatile headache in a previously healthy young man
A previously healthy 41-year-old man presented to the local hospital with a sudden-onset right-sided pulsatile headache, accompanied by vertigo, unstable gait, nausea, and vomiting. On admission, he additionally presented with left central facial paralysis, left-sided hemiparesis, and NIH Stroke Scale score of 2. The patient denied history of hypertension, diabetes, or any other high-risk factors for cerebral vascular diseases (CVD). Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) revealed multiple acute focal infarctions in the right frontoparietal lobe consistent with decreased blood supply through the right carotid artery (figure e-1A1 at Neurology.org).
