Serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 levels and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Higher serum MMP-9 levels in the acute phase of ischemic stroke were associated with increased risk of mortality and major disability, suggesting that serum MMP-9 could be an important prognostic factor for ischemic stroke.

Identification of missed hypertension and hypertensive arteriopathy with home versus ambulatory blood pressure measurement in patients with tia or minor stroke
Conclusions In patients with TIA or minor stroke, HBPM was more reliable than ABPM at identifying missed hypertension and hypertensive arteriopathy. Its use could significantly reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.

Sensitivity of transcranial doppler and transoesophageal echocardiography for the detection of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke
Conclusions TCD with bubble test is sensitive and specific for the detection of right–to–left shunts due to PFO confirmed at right heart catheterisation. In this population, TOE had low sensitivity for RLS. There was no difference in physical PFO size between TOE positive and negative patients.

Safety and Effectiveness of Endovascular Treatment after 6 Hours of Symptom Onset in Patients with Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke: A Matched Case Control Study
Conclusions: We did not observe any evidence of benefit in halting neurologic worsening or improving outcomes among patients undergoing endovascular treatment for treatment of an anterior circulation ischemic stroke after 6 hours of symptom onset. Strong evidence of both the safety and efficacy of emergent endovascular treatment when administered to patients with stroke in the anterior circulation is needed.

Differences in lipid profiles in two Hispanic ischemic stroke populations
ConclusionWe found significant differences in lipid fractions in Hispanic ischemic stroke patients, with lower total cholesterol and low‐density lipoprotein, and higher triglyceride levels in Mexicans. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of dyslipidemia among the Hispanic race‐ethnic group and may lead to different secondary prevention strategies.

Validation of the Totaled Health Risks In Vascular Events (THRIVE) score for outcome prediction in endovascular stroke treatment
ConclusionsThe THRIVE score reliably predicts outcomes after endovascular stroke treatment and may be useful as a clinical prognostic tool and to perform severity adjustments in stroke clinical research.

Studying Effects of Weather Parameters on Acute Stroke: Considering the Contribution of “Risk Factors” and “Triggering Factors” Together
A recently published article in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases regarding the effect of season and atmospheric temperature variation in acute stroke by Gomes et al has drawn our attention. The authors studied the variation in the incidence of stroke hospitalizations across seasons and with short-term temperature change in a tropical setting by examining 651 consecutive stroke events occurred during the period of August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006. The study illustrated that sudden declines in the minimum temperature over the 5-10 days before the event were associated with a 20%-30% higher incidence...

Differences in ischemic and hemorrhagic recurrence rates among race‐ethnic groups in the PRoFESS secondary stroke prevention trial
ConclusionsWe found a significant difference in myocardial infarction and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage recurrence among different race‐ethnic groups. The risk of recurrent ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke was greater in Asians with high blood pressure.

Leukoaraiosis Is Associated With Impaired Functional Recovery And Outcome After Mild Ischemic Stroke. (P7.153)
CONCLUSIONS: Leukoaraiosis is an independent risk factor for poor functional outcome at discharge after minor ischemic stroke. Further analysis whether this effect persists to 90 days are ongoing.Disclosure: Dr. Onteddu has nothing to disclose. Dr. Minaeian has nothing to disclose. Dr. Goddeau has nothing to disclose. Dr. Henninger has received personal compensation for activities with Brainsgate as a consultant.

Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Elevated serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are associated with cardioembolic stroke mainly because of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the mechanisms of increased serum BNP levels are hitherto unclear. We aimed to identify the factors associated with increased BNP levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We measured serum BNP levels in consecutive patients aged 18 years or older. Stroke subtypes were classified using the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria. Categorical variables included age, sex, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia...

Quality of Life after Lacunar Stroke: The Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes Study
Background: We sought to describe the course and predictors of quality of life (QOL) after lacunar stroke. We hypothesized that there is a decline in QOL after recovery from lacunar stroke.Methods: The Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes is a clinical trial in lacunar stroke patients with annual assessments of QOL with the stroke-specific QOL score. The overall score was used and analyzed as a continuous variable (range 0-5). We fit linear mixed models to assess the trend in QOL over time, assuming linearity of time, and adjusted for demographics, medical risk factors, cognitive factors, and functional status...

Clinical–MRI correlations in a multiethnic cohort with recent lacunar stroke: the SPS3 trial
ConclusionsIn patients with recent lacunar stroke, infarct location and number have distinctie associations with gender, vascular risk factors, and race‐ethnicity, demonstrating the complex pathogenesis of lacunar stroke and cerebral small artery disease.

Occurrence and Predictors of Persistent Impaired Glucose Tolerance After Acute Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: Half of the patients with impaired glucose tolerance after a TIA or ischemic stroke have persistent impaired glucose tolerance. We provide a prediction model to identify patients at risk of persistent impaired glucose tolerance, with statin use, triglyceride, and fasting plasma glucose as the most important predictors, which after external validation might be used to optimize secondary prevention.

Association of Variants in KCNK17 Gene with Ischemic Stroke and Cerebral Hemorrhage in a Chinese Population
Conclusions: The T carrier of an SNP (rs12214600) is associated with reduced risk of cerebral hemorrhage in the Chinese population, together with previous findings that SNPs rs10947803 and rs12214600 in the KCNK17 gene are associated with hemorrhagic stroke, but none of the SNPs tested had an association with ischemic stroke. KCNK17 may be important in the pathogenesis of cerebral hemorrhage.
