Cerebral Microbleeds as Predictors of Mortality Brief Report
Conclusions—CMBs may represent the deleterious effect of cardiovascular risk factors in the cerebral vasculature. Although their presence was associated with increased all-cause mortality, the effect was no longer present after accounting for vascular risk factors and preventive treatment use. Further studies are required to clarify the role of cardiovascular preventive therapies for prevention of mortality in persons with incidental detection of CMB.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Impaired Renal Function Are Associated With Brain Alterations and Poststroke Cognitive Decline Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with diseases of the brain, kidney, and vasculature. However, the relationship between T2DM, chronic kidney disease, brain alterations, and cognitive function after stroke is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the inter-relationship between T2DM, impaired renal function, brain pathology on imaging, and cognitive decline in a longitudinal poststroke cohort.Methods—The TABASCO (Tel Aviv brain acute stroke cohort) is a prospective cohort of stroke/transient ischemic attack survivors. The volume and white matter integrity, ischemic lesions, and brain and hippo...

Time Trends and Characteristics of Prevalent Dementia among Patients Hospitalized for Stroke in the United States
Little is known about how prevalent dementia rates among patients with stroke have evolved over the last decade or how this relationship varies by gender, race ethnicity, stroke type, or dementia type. We assessed time trends and demographic predictors of coexisting dementia in a large cohort of patients hospitalized for stroke.

Statin Use and the Risk of Dementia in Patients with Stroke: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study
Background: Patients with stroke have an increased risk of  dementia. Some studies have found that statin use might lower the risk of incident dementia; however, there is still a lack of data from patients with stroke. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the impact of statin use on the risk of dementia in patients with stroke.

SIRT1: The Value of Functional Outcome, Stroke-Related Dementia, Anxiety, and Depression in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Background: The outcome of ischemic stroke depends on multiple factors and their function of each other. Studies have shown that Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) plays a chief role in the key procedure during ischemia/hypoxia by protecting against cellular stress and controlling the metabolic pathways. Aims: To explore the alterations in serum SIRT1 concentrations in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and the relationship between SIRT1 and poststroke dementia, anxiety, and depression. Methods: One hundred and twenty four consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed AIS were recruited to participate in the study.

Texture Features of Magnetic Resonance Images: an Early Marker of Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment
AbstractStroke is frequently associated with delayed, long-term cognitive impairment (CI) and dementia. Recent research has focused on identifying early predictive markers of CI occurrence. We carried out a texture analysis of magnetic resonance (MR) images to identify predictive markers of CI occurrence based on a combination of preclinical and clinical data. Seventy-two-hour post-stroke T1W MR images of 160 consecutive patients were examined, including 75 patients with confirmed CI at the 6-month post-stroke neuropsychological examination. Texture features were measured in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex and compar...

Cornea: A Window to White Matter Changes in Stroke; Corneal Confocal Microscopy a Surrogate Marker for the Presence and Severity of White Matter Hyperintensities in Ischemic Stroke
The objective is to determine whether corneal nerve pathology identified using CCM is associated with the presence of WMH in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Association between aphasia and risk of dementia after stroke
Stroke is an established risk factor for dementia and is associated with an acute and accelerated decline in cognition. With the aging population and improvements in stroke survival, the number of patients with post-stroke dementia is expected to increase,1 which entails substantial healthcare and economic burdens for patients and caregivers.

Leukoaraiosis on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Correlates With Worse Outcomes After Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Increased LA is an independent predictor of worse functional outcomes in patients after spontaneous ICH. The pathophysiology associating LA with worse outcomes requires further study. These data may improve prognostication and selection for clinical trials.

Vitamin B may reduce risk of stroke
Researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests vitamin B supplements could help to reduce the risk of stroke, according to a study published in the journal Neurology. Vitamin B supplements are said to be beneficial for many health issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease. However, according to Xu Yuming of Zhengzhou University in Zhengzhou, China, previous studies have conflicting findings regarding the use of vitamin B supplements and stroke or heart attack...

Strong Improvement of Apolipoprotein E/Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Signals by Telmisartan in Poststroke Spontaneously Hypertensive Stroke Resistant
Conclusions: These findings suggest that both low and high doses of telmisartan prevented the activation of ApoE/LDL-R in SHR-SR after tMCAO, and that the antimetabolic effect was regarded as the most important mechanism with few additional benefits by lowering BP in this transient stroke model.
