Stroke risk 'higher at start of warfarin treatment'
Conclusion This study has found that warfarin was associated with an increased risk of ischaemic stroke during the first 30 days of treatment. After 30 days of treatment, warfarin was associated with a decreased risk of stroke. However, this study has a number of limitations that should be considered: All information was from patient records, which means that it wasn't subject to recall bias, but the information may not be complete – we do not know if, for example, people took the medication they were prescribed. There may be other factors (confounders) that explain the association seen. In particular, the ba...

Longer sleep linked to stroke
Conclusion This cohort study found that, overall, people who sleep for more than eight hours have a 46% increased risk of stroke. When analysed separately, there was no statistically significant association for men, but a much higher increased risk for women, of 80%. A major strength of the study is the number of potential confounding factors that the researchers tried to account for, including many cardiovascular risk factors. However, it did not account for other illnesses such as sleep apnoea or cancer, which may have had an effect on the amount of sleep and risk of stroke. In addition, the study is reliant on the i...

Shengui Sansheng San Ameliorates Cerebral Energy Deficiency via Citrate Cycle After Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion In summary, SSS extraction significantly ameliorates cerebral energy metabolism via boosting citrate cycle, which mainly embodies the enhancements of blood glucose concentration, glucose and lactate transportation and glucose utilization, as well as the regulations of relative enzymes activities in citrate cycle. These ameliorations ultimately resulted in numerous ATP yield after stroke, which improved neurological function and infarcted volume. Collectively, it suggests that SSS extraction has exerted advantageous effect in the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Ethics Statement All animal operations were accor...

Let's Encourage Congress to Improve Stroke Care FAST
She thought she was choking. It was June of her first year as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. Joyce Beatty had just returned to her office following a luncheon when she felt her throat shut down. She couldn't swallow, couldn't talk. Couldn't cry for help. As she reached for water, her left side went numb. She collapsed. Someone called 911, thinking it was a heart attack. It was a stroke. Specifically, a brain stem stroke. The brain stem is a precarious spot -- a half-inch wide area that controls basic activities like consciousness, blood pressure and breathing. A stroke there could harm any of those functio...

Cardiac Imaging Within Emergency CT Angiography for Acute Stroke Can Detect Atrial Clots
This study was approved by the ethics committee of the medical faculty of the Ruhr University Bochum. FIGURE 1 Figure 1. Flow chart showing the selection of the study population. Results A total of 59 patients underwent emergency CCTA (Figure 2A) for suspected stroke, of which 44 received the final diagnosis ischemic stroke. There were 17 patients who had ischemic stroke or TIA and known or newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (Table 1; mean age: 77.5 years, standard deviation: 8.4 years; 53% female). As hypothesized, intracardiac thrombi could be visualized: once in an artificially occluded left atrial appe...

The relationship between malignant tumors and ischemic stroke: II. Chronology of diagnoses and treatment of strokes
Orv Hetil. 2022 Jan 9;163(2):43-51. doi: 10.1556/650.2022.32329. Print 2022 Jan 9.ABSTRACTÖsszefoglaló. A malignus daganatok és a stroke együttesen gyakran fordulnak elő a stroke tradicionális rizikófaktoraival (magas vérnyomás, hyperlipidaemia, cukorbetegség, elhízás, dohányzás) rendelkező betegekben. Az elmúlt évtized kutatási eredményei alátámasztották, hogy a rosszindulatú daganatban szenvedő betegekben szignifikánsan nagyobb a stroke kockázata. A malignus daganatokhoz társuló stroke a leggyakrabban a malignus daganat diagnózisát követő fél-egy év során jelentkezik. A kapcsolat a más...

Stroke in Non-Bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis: 31-Year Experience (P02.023)
CONCLUSIONS: This 31-year analysis shows that stroke is a frequent complication of NBTE, has severe clinical and radiological manifestations, and high associated mortality. Anticoagulation may not prevent stroke recurrence.Disclosure: Dr. Topcuoglu has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kursun has nothing to disclose. Dr. Karatas has nothing to disclose. Dr. Buonanno has nothing to disclose. Dr. Singhal has received personal compensation as an expert witness in medicolegal cases involving stroke in young adults.

Cancer-Associated Stroke: The Bergen NORSTROKE Study
Background: Underlying malignancy can cause ischemic stroke in some patients. Mechanisms include the affection of the coagulation cascade, tumor mucin secretion, infections and nonbacterial endocarditis. The release of necrotizing factor and interleukins may cause inflammation of the endothelial lining, creating a prothrombotic surface that triggers thromboembolic events, including stroke. The aims of this study were to assess the occurrence of cancer in patients who had recently suffered an ischemic stroke and to detect possible associations between stroke and cancer subtypes. Methods: All ischemic stroke patients registe...

Outcomes between in-hospital stroke and community-onset stroke after thrombectomy: Propensity-score matching analysis
CONCLUSION: Patients with in-hospital stroke had more disadvantageous comorbidities than those with community-onset stroke. Cardiac dysfunction seems to be associated with poor outcomes after thrombectomy. Nevertheless, endovascular thrombectomy still appears to be safe and effective for patients with in-hospital stroke.PMID:34516327 | DOI:10.1177/15910199211030769

Risk of First and Recurrent Stroke in Childhood Cancer Survivors Treated With Cranial and Cervical Radiation Therapy
Conclusion: Cranial irradiation puts childhood cancer survivors at high risk of both first and recurrent stroke. Stroke prevention strategies for these survivors are needed.

Eating chocolate may slightly lower your risk of stroke
ConclusionThis study used a large prospective cohort of English residents to estimate the risk chocolate poses to cardiovascular death and disease. In addition, they systematically combed the research literature for other similar studies, combining their results with that of other researchers. By comparing the highest chocolate consumers with chocolate abstainers, they found that chocolate was linked to a lower risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. The risk for coronary heart disease was not statistically significant. Results from the meta-analysis of eight additional studies showed higher chocolate consumption was li...

Cancer-Associated Hypercoagulation Increases the Risk of Early Recurrent Stroke in Patients with Active Cancer
Conclusions: Ischemic stroke patients with active cancer faced a high risk of early recurrent stroke. The concurrence of hDD levels ( ≥10.4 µg/mL) and MVTI was an independent predictor of early recurrent stroke in active cancer patients. Our findings suggest that cancer-associated hypercoagulation increases the early recurrent stroke risk.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:46 –51

Ischemic stroke of unclear aetiology: a case-by-case analysis and call for a multi-professional predictive, preventive and personalised approach
AbstractDue to the reactive medical approach applied to disease management, stroke has reached an epidemic scale worldwide. In 2019, the global stroke prevalence was 101.5 million people, wherefrom 77.2 million (about 76%) suffered from ischemic stroke; 20.7 and 8.4 million suffered from intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage, respectively. Globally in the year 2019 — 3.3, 2.9 and 0.4 million individuals died of ischemic stroke, intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage, respectively. During the last three decades, the absolute number of cases increased substantially. The current prevalence of stroke is 110 million ...
