Aircraft noise linked with stroke and heart problems
Conclusion With debate currently taking place about the expansion of airports around London, the possible effects of aircraft noise on health is an important area for research. But as the authors point out, this study has several limitations. In particular, although the authors took account of confounders such as ethnicity, deprivation and smoking rates at the area level, they had no information on these factors at the individual level. So results at area level are not applicable to all individuals within these small areas. In addition, the risk of coronary heart disease may have been affected by large south Asian populati...

Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone and Incident Ischemic Stroke in Men in the Cardiovascular Health Study.
CONCLUSIONS: DHT had a nonlinear association with stroke risk in which there was an optimal DHT level associated with the lowest stroke risk. Further studies are needed to confirm these results and to clarify if there is an optimal androgen range associated with the least risk for adverse outcomes in elderly men.

Assessing improvements in survival for stroke patients in the Northern Territory 1992?2013: a marginal structural analysis.
Conclusions Stroke survival has improved in the NT over the past two decades. The marginal structural models provide a powerful methodological tool that can be applied to hospital administrative data to assess changes in quality of care and the impact of interventions. What is known about the topic? Stroke-related mortality has fallen in the past 30 years in Australia. Indigenous Australians have much worse health outcomes than other Australians, including higher stroke incidence and mortality, but it is not known whether stroke survival has improved for Indigenous stroke patients. What does this paper add? This study meas...

Dietary glycemic index, glycemic load, and refined carbohydrates are associated with risk of stroke: a prospective cohort study in urban Chinese women Nutritional epidemiology and public health
Conclusion: Our results suggest that high dietary GI and GL, primarily due to high intakes of refined grains, are associated with increased risks of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke in middle-aged and older urban Chinese women.

Comorbidity and the increased mortality after hospitalization for stroke: a population-based cohort study.
CONCLUSION: Comorbidity, notably cancer and advanced renal or liver disease, increased one-year mortality after stroke beyond the combined effects expected from either disease acting alone.

When to Screen Ischaemic Stroke Patients for Cancer
Conclusions: Active cancer was found in 5% of our ischemic stroke patients. We found that a clinical score comprising elevated D-dimer ≥3 mg/L, lower Hb ≤12.0 g/dL and previous or current smoking is feasible for predicting active cancer in ischemic stroke patients.Cerebrovasc Dis

Recurrent stroke in a patient of lung cancer without pulmonary mass: A case report
AbstractRationale:Repeated occurring stroke in short intervals with hypercoagulability is unusual so in such cases the conventional vascular risk factors might not be the causes of stroke.Patient concerns:We have presented a case of 60-year-old male presenting with recurrent stroke due to thrombophilia.Diagnoses:Lung cancer was detected by superficial lymph nodes ultrasound and further pathological examination.Interventions:The patient suffered a recurrent stroke and he had persistently high level of D-dimer which suggested the diagnosis of thrombophilia, thus, he was treated with low-molecular-weight heparin. Unfortunatel...

Incidence, early case fatality and determinants of stroke in Iran: Golestan Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: Efficient risk factor control can considerably reduce stroke occurrence and fatality in our study. Establishing awareness campaigns and 24-hour stroke units seem necessary for improving the stroke management in this area.PMID:35973398 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2022.106658

Contribution of sickle cell disease to the pediatric stroke burden among hospital discharges of African‐Americans—United States, 1997–2012
ConclusionsSCD is a leading risk factor to pediatric stroke in African‐American children. Reducing the number of strokes among children with SCD would have a significant impact on the rate of strokes among African‐American children. Preventative intervention may be modifying initial age of presentation of stroke in children with SCD. Pediatr Blood Cancer © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Case of Multiple Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in a Patient with Cholangiocarcinoma and Initiation of Anticoagulation Therapy for Secondary Stroke Prevention (P4.342)
CONCLUSIONS: Initiation of anticoagulation therapy and the optimal medications for secondary stroke prevention in cancer associated stroke remain controversial. Further randomized prospective studies are needed to establish treatment guidelines.Disclosure: Dr. Cheng has nothing to disclose. Dr. Then has nothing to disclose.

Probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and risk of stroke: a prospective study (P4.302)
Conclusions:Presence of pRBD was associated with a higher risk of developing stroke, including both ischemic and hemorrhagic types. Future studies with clinically confirmed RBD and a longer follow-up would be appropriate to further investigate this association.Study Supported by: The National Institute of Neurological Disorders And Stroke at the National Institutes of Health (NINDS 5R21NS087235-02 to X.G.)Disclosure: Dr. Ma has nothing to disclose.

Smoking cessation, weight gain, and risk of stroke among postmenopausal women
Publication date: Available online 22 October 2018Source: Preventive MedicineAuthor(s): Paul C. Dinh, Lauren A. Schrader, Catherine J. Svensson, Karen L. Margolis, Brian Silver, Juhua LuoAbstractThe relationship between smoking cessation, concurrent weight gain, and stroke events is not yet understood. Thus, we examined the association between smoking cessation and subsequent stroke risk and whether the association was modified by concurrent weight gain.In 2017, we analyzed data from 109,498 postmenopausal US women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative from 1993 to 1998. Women with a history of cancer or cardiovascular...
