Cancer-associated stroke: a study of prevalence and predictors among ischaemic stroke patients
CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of systemic cancer, of any type, as well as active and occult, was found among patients with ischaemic stroke. The presence of ischaemic lesions in several vascular territories and some laboratory markers could be factors to consider in attributing the stroke to cancer or looking for an occult neoplasm in some patients.PMID:36908032 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7606.2022414

Stroke and cancer
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2023 Apr 4:S0035-3787(23)00891-3. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.03.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAssociation between stroke and cancer is well-established and has led to a growing literature over the past decades. Risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is increased among patients with newly diagnosed cancer and 5-10% of stroke patients bear an active cancer. All cancers are concerned, but hematological malignancy in childhood and adenocarcinoma from lung, digestive tract and pancreas in adults are most usually identified. Unique stroke mechanisms are dominated by hypercoagulation, a condition that ma...

Ischemic Stroke in Cancer: Mechanisms, Biomarkers, and Implications for Treatment
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1771270Ischemic stroke is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. The underlying mechanisms linking cancer and stroke are not completely understood. Long-standing and more recent evidence suggests that cancer-associated prothrombotic states, along with treatment-related vascular toxicity, such as with chemotherapy and immunotherapy, contribute to an increased risk of ischemic stroke in cancer patients. Novel biomarkers, including coagulation, platelet and endothelial markers, cell-free DNA, and extracellular vesicles are being investigated for their potentia...

Investigation of Factors That Affect the Quality of Life After a Stroke
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023;1425:437-442. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-31986-0_42.ABSTRACTStroke, as a disease, describes a group of disorders characterized by the presence of central nervous system symptoms either as a result of ischemia (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). The appearance of a stroke results in a permanent physical or cognitive disability. The stroke incidence is the third cause of death after heart disease and cancer, and is the main cause of long-term disability.The effects of a stroke on a patient's daily life, and hence on his quality of life, are intense and long-lasting. These include memory pro...

Effect of Low-Dose Aspirin on Functional Outcome From Cerebral Vascular Events in Women Original Contributions
Conclusions— Results from this large randomized clinical trial provide evidence that 100 mg of aspirin every other day may reduce the risk of ischemic cerebral vascular events but does not have differential effects on functional outcomes from stroke.

Liver enzymes and stroke risk in middle-aged German adults
Conclusions: Our data provide further evidence for a link between GGT, but not ALT and overall stroke suggesting that these biomarkers are involved in different pathways of disease development. Further studies are needed to clarify the putative relationships between ALT and subtypes of stroke.Highlights:

Association of Intensive Morphine Treatment and Increased Stroke Incidence in Prostate Cancer Patients: A Population-based Nested Case-Control Study
Conclusions Intense morphine treatment may be associated with an increased stroke incidence in patients with malignancy, and the association is particularly significant for prostate cancer patients.

Outcome of 312 Japanese Patients with Carotid Endarterectomy and Factors Associated with Cardiovascular Events—A Single-center Study in Japan
Background: There have only been a few reports regarding the outcomes and risk factors after CEA. To clarify the factors associated with outcome in patients with carotid stenosis who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA), we investigated cardiovascular events and mortality in the Kyushu Medical Center in Japan.Methods: We consecutively registered patients with significant carotid stenosis who had CEA performed over 10 years and compared the incidences of stroke, myocardial infarction, and death. On admission, we evaluated medical records for stroke risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterol...

Implementation of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography screening and primary stroke prevention in urban and rural sickle cell disease populations
ConclusionsWe report here data describing primary stroke prophylaxis in rural patients. SOC rates are similar between the two clinical settings. While implementation of primary stroke prevention in rural patients was difficult, rural TCD screening is feasible and can achieve SOC equal to that in an urban setting. This suggests that barriers exist in provided primary stroke prevention to all patients. Pediatr Blood Cancer © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
