Prevalence and Predictors of Multivitamin Supplement Use After Stroke in Ghana
Multivitamin supplementation is widely practiced in high-income countries due to a popular belief of its health promotion and disease prevention benefits. Evidence for their purported efficacy has been mixed. Regarding the efficacy of multivitamins on prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, or all-cause mortality, some studies have shown no effect,1 –4 harmful effects,5,6 and beneficial effects.7,8 Three prospective studies have evaluated the effect of multivitamin use on stroke prevention with two showing negative outcomes3,5 and the third among 72,000 Japanese showing frequent use of multivitamins was associated ...

Endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in patients with cancer: a propensity-matched analysis
Conclusions In propensity matched analysis of patients undergoing EVT for AIS with and without cancer, 90-day functional outcomes and mortality were similar. However, there was a significantly higher rate of HT in cancer patients.

Clinical features and prognostic factors in patients with cancer-associated multiple ischemic stroke: A retrospective observational study
Cancer causes coagulation abnormalities in arterial and venous systems.1,2 A highly active cancer is an established risk factor of ischemic stroke,3 and patients with cancer sometimes receive additional burden due to cancer-associated ischemic stroke (CAIS).4,5 Multiple cerebral infarctions involving various cerebrovascular territories in cryptogenic CAIS, referred to as “multiple CAIS” in this report, are of particular clinical interest since they lead to poor prognosis, with a median survival of at most a few months.

Stroke as a cause of death in patients with cancer: a SEER-based study
Death from stroke is linked to cancer due to its pathogenesis and side effects of treatment. Despite this, guidelines regarding identifying cancer patients at the highest risk of mortality from stroke are unclear.

Quality-of-life, concerns, and treatment priorities in patients with cancer-related ischemic stroke: A prospective survey study
Comorbid cancer with stroke is a complex situation with multiple factors affecting quality of life (QoL). No specific questionnaire exists to assess current drivers of QoL and future concerns and priorities in patients with cancer-related stroke.

Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in a Patient with the Trousseau Syndrome Treated with Dabigatran
A 70-year-old man with multiple ischemic strokes was diagnosed with cardiac embolism and treated with dabigatran. Three months later, he suddenly developed vertigo and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging, showed recurrent lesions and blood tests revealed hypercoagulability, hypoproteinemia, and elevated cytokeratin 19 fragments that serve as a tumor marker of lung cancer. Chest computed tomography showed there were small nodules in bilateral lungs and swollen mediastinal lymph nodes. A conclusive diagnosis was impossible because the patient declined invasive procedures. We suspected primary lung cancer and diagnosed conco...

Fatal Intracranial Hemorrhage after Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Associated with Cancer-related Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is associated with hypercoagulability in patients with inflammatory states such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. Cardiac vegetations caused by NBTE often lead to life-threatening systemic thromboembolism that most frequently affects the brain, spleen, and kidneys. A 54-year-old woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer suddenly developed back pain and left hemiparesis. Although intravenous alteplase (rt-PA) therapy was administered to treat hyperacute ischemic infarction detected by magnetic resonance imaging, intracranial hemorrhage occurred in the left hemisphere several hours late...

Stroke Caused by Lung Cancer Invading the Left Atrium
We describe a 59-year-old stroke patient presented with sudden onset left side weakness and a speech disorder due to a major acute cerebral infarction in the area of the right middle cerebral artery, right posterior cerebral artery, and small infarctions in the area of the left middle and left posterior cerebral artery. For the previous month, the patient had been feeling weak and had no appetite. The patient had not been previously seriously ill. A chest x-ray showed a large mass in the upper zone of the right lung.

Warfarin-Resistant Deep Vein Thrombosis during the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Lung Adenocarcinoma
A 66-year-old man with acute ischemic stroke in the setting of lung adenocarcinoma developed acute-onset deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs after changing to warfarin from a heparin combination. The diagnosis of warfarin-resistant DVT was established based on the laboratory data and clinical evaluation. Heparin administration resulted in good control of thrombin regulation. Cancer patients are at high risk of venous thromboembolism, and the combination of these 2 conditions is known as Trousseau's syndrome.

Endovascular recanalization therapy in the patients with acute ischemic stroke and active malignancy
【Background】Patients with cancer who have acute ischemic stroke are often precluded from intravenous tPA due to high risk of bleeding. In this case, endovascular recanalization therapy may be an alternative treatment option.
