Clinical presentation and imaging characteristics of occult lung cancer associated ischemic stroke
Publication date: February 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 22, Issue 2 Author(s): Hui Mai , Jun Xia , Yongjun Wu , Junlong Ke , Junliang Li , Jiangang Pan , Wubiao Chen , Yiming Shao , Zhi Yang , Saihua Luo , Yonghua Sun , Bin Zhao , Longxuan Li We investigated the clinical and imaging characteristics of initial and recurrent strokes in patients with occult lung cancer associated ischemic stroke (OLCA-stroke). A retrospective review of all ischemic stroke patients with occult lung cancer in the absence of conventional stroke etiologies between 2005 and 2013 was conducted. We compared the initial and ...

Risk of ischemic stroke after androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer in the Chinese population living in Hong Kong
Conclusions There was increased risk of ischemic stroke after androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer in the Chinese population. The risk of ischemic stroke should be considered while deciding on androgen deprivation therapy, especially in older patients with known history of hyperlipidemia.

The 2-Year Outcomes Comparison between Ischemic Stroke Patients with Intracranial Arterial Stenosis without Significant Extracranial Carotid Stenosis and Patients with Extracranial Carotid Stenosis.
CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference of recurrent ischemic stroke and recurrent stroke between patients with intracranial arterial stenosis without extracranial carotid stenosis and patients with extracranial carotid stenosis. On the other hand, patients with extracranial carotid stenosis had more incidences of acute coronary syndrome significantly than patients with intracranial arterial stenosis.

Role of serum ‐ and glucocorticoid‐inducible kinases in stroke
Abstract Increased expression of serum‐ and glucocorticoid‐inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) can be induced by stress and growth factors in mammals, and plays an important role in cancer, diabetes, and hypertension. A recent work suggested that SGK1 activity restores damage in a stroke model. To further investigate the role of SGKs in ischemic brain injury, we examined how SGK inhibitors influence stroke outcome in vivo and neurotoxicity in vitro. Infarct volumes were compared in adult mice with middle cerebral artery occlusion, followed by 24 h reperfusion, in the absence or presence of SGK inhibitors. Neurotoxicity assay,...

Associations of dietary polychlorinated biphenyls and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids with stroke risk.
CONCLUSION: Dietary PCB exposure was associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke, whereas a protective association was observed for dietary EPA-DHA intake. PMID: 27473885 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk of stroke in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a retrospective cohort study
This study includes consecutive patients 20 years and older who were newly diagnosed with symptomatic multiple myeloma at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, a tertiary medical center, between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2014. The primary outcome was stroke development. Patients with head injuries, brain tumors, brain parenchymal invasions, or antecedent malignancies were excluded. Hazard ratios (HRs) of stroke risk factors for multiple myeloma patients were estimated by Cox proportional regression analysis. Overall, 395 patients with a median age of 70 years were investigated. In the median follow‐up period of 18 ...

Multimorbidities Are Associated to Lower Survival in Ischaemic Stroke: Results from a Brazilian Stroke Cohort (EMMA Study)
Conclusions: A high burden of comorbidities represented an independent predictor of poor prognosis increasing the risk of dying by 2 to 3 times among IS up to 9 years in the EMMA study. The inclusion of other CVRF such as AF and stroke recurrence slightly modified all-cause mortality risk.Cerebrovasc Dis 2017;44:232-239

Adipose tissue fatty acids present in dairy fat and risk of stroke: the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort
ConclusionsOur results suggest that a larger percentage in adipose tissue of fatty acids for which dairy products are a major source is associated with a lower rate of ischemic stroke.

Higher stroke incidence in the patients with pancreatic cancer: A nation-based cohort study in Taiwan
No study has investigated the role of pancreatic cancer in the stroke risk using population data. We used claims data obtained from a universal health insurance program of Taiwan to evaluate the stroke risk in pancreatic cancer patients. From the catastrophic disease registry of the insurance, we identified 7479 patients with pancreatic malignancy without stroke history from 2000 to 2009. The comparison cohort consisted of 29,916 individuals identified from 1 million insured people without cancer and stroke history, matching with the cancer cohort by propensity score. We followed each selected individual until stroke was ...

Roles of integrins and extracellular matrix in stroke.
Abstract Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, but recent advances in treatments (i.e. endovascular thrombectomy and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)) that target the stroke-causing blood clot, while improving overall stroke mortality rates, have had much less of an impact on overall stroke morbidity. This may in part be attributed to the lack of therapeutics targeting reperfusion induced injury after the blood clot has been removed, which, if left unchecked, can expand injury from its core into the surrounding at risk tissue (penumbra). This occurs in two phases of in...

Predictors of mortality and disability in stroke-associated pneumonia
AbstractWhilst stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is common and associated with poor outcomes, less is known about the determinants of these adverse clinical outcomes in SAP. To identify the factors that influence mortality and morbidity in SAP. Data for patients with SAP (n = 854) were extracted from a regional Hospital Stroke Register in Norfolk, UK (2003–2015). SAP was defined as pneumonia occurring within 7 days of admission by the treating clinicians. Mutlivariable regression models were constructed to assess factors influencing survival and the level of di sability at discharge using modified Rankin Scale [mRS]...

Accelerated Risk of Premature Ischemic Stroke in 5‐Year Survivors of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Conclusion.Not only was the stroke risk in NPC survivors higher than that in the general population, but the onset age was also 10 years earlier. Future survivorship care should include ischemic stroke as a late complication, for its proper prevention and management.Implications for Practice.Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in Taiwan, and its 5‐year survival is 65.2%. With the increased 5‐year cancer survivors, survivorship has become an important issue. However, research on NPC survivorship is very rare. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first population‐based study on long‐term NPC survivors. This...
