Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity Is a Strong Predictor for Mortality in Patients With Acute Stroke Epidemiology/Population
This study suggested that measurement of baPWV during the acute phase of stroke might be useful in identifying patients at a higher risk for mortality.

Safety of Standard-dose (.9-mg/kg) Alteplase Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Afro–Caribbeans, French West Indies
Conclusions: The excess hemorrhagic risk after standard-dose alteplase infusion into older Afro–Caribbean patients warrants further study to determine the possible role of cerebral microangiopathy and should be evaluated in different black populations.

More Than 8 Hours Of Sleep Linked To Increased Stroke Risk
BOSTON (CBS) – Could getting more than eight hours of sleep a night be a bad thing? Many of us are lucky to get that much, but if we do, Dr. Mallika Marshall says it might be a warning sign for stroke. The National Sleep Foundation says adults between the ages of 18 and 64 should get seven to nine hours of sleep a night, but a new study from the University of Cambridge looked at more than 9,000 middle-aged and older adults and found that those who slept for more than eight hours a night were 46% more likely to have a stroke over the nine and a half years than people who slept six to eight hours a night. It may be tha...

Improved ischemic stroke outcome prediction using model estimation of outcome probability: The THRIVE‐c calculation
ConclusionBy computing the logistic equation with patient‐specific continuous variables in the THRIVE‐c calculation, outcomes at the individual patient level are more accurately estimated. Given the widespread availability of computers and devices at the point of care, such calculations can be easily performed with a simple user interface.

A meta-analysis investigating incidence and features of stroke in HIV-infected patients in the highly active antiretroviral therapy era
Conclusion: Stroke represents a relatively common complication in young, HAART-treated HIV patients. Apart from traditional cardiovascular risk factors, HIV-RNA viral load may help to target and manage patients at risk.

Brunei epidemiological stroke study: patterns of hypertension and stroke risk
Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension in Brunei is high in both women and men. Information campaigns and prevention programs are needed to be able to cope with the increasing problem of hypertension and resulting diseases like stroke in Brunei in the near future.

Lacunar Infarcts and Intracerebral Hemorrhage Differences Brief Report
Background and Purpose—Lacunar stroke (LS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are 2 diverse manifestations of small vessel disease. What predisposes some patients to ischemic stroke and others to hemorrhage is not well understood.Methods—We performed a nested case–control study within the FHS (Framingham Heart Study) comparing people with incident ICH and lacunar ischemic stroke, to age- and sex-matched controls for baseline prevalence and levels of cardiovascular risk factors.Results—We identified 118 LS (mean age 74 years, 51% male) and 108 ICH (75 years, 46% male) events. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking...

Retinal and Ophthalmic Artery Studies in Ischemic Stroke Patients Using Fundus Photography and Transcranial Doppler Methods (P4.252)
Conclusions:Our study in a robust sample of non-severe stroke patients showed that abnormal retinal AVR is strongly associated with IS patients even after accounting for traditional risk factors. OA-TCD studies, on the other hand, did not have significant associations with stroke group.Disclosure: Dr. Patil has nothing to disclose. Dr. Narayan has nothing to disclose.

Systolic Blood Pressure Within 24 Hours After Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Correlates With Outcome Stroke
ConclusionsHigher peak values of systolic blood pressure independently correlated with worse 90‐day modified Rankin scale and a higher rate of hemorrhagic complications. Further prospective studies are warranted to identify whether systolic blood pressure is a therapeutic target to improve outcomes.
