P-008 Evaluating Racial/Ethnic Disparity in Endovascular Thrombectomy Outcome for Acute Stroke Patients: 4,763 patients using Premier data 2011 to 2015
ConclusionsThere were no differences in hospital outcome among races/ethnicities in endovascular thrombectomy outcomes for acute stroke patients in the Premier data. Racial/ethnic disparities play role for patients’ selection not for patients’ outcome in endovascular thrombectomy.DisclosuresS. Park: None. M. Pilot: None. M.

18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging factors that predict ischaemic stroke in cancer patients
ConclusionOur findings suggest that arterial FDG uptake and hypermetabolic malignancy on PET and the VAT proportion on CT could be independent predictors of future ischaemic stroke in patients with cancer and could identify those patients who would benefit from medical treatment.

Genetic Variants of RAMP2 and CLR are Associated with Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This was the first study to investigate the relationships between ADM receptor genes (RAMP2 and CLR) and stroke in the light of gene-environment interactions in human. PMID: 28904253 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy of Tai Chi and qigong for the prevention of stroke and stroke risk factors: A systematic review with meta-analysis
Conclusion: Although Tai Chi and qigong show some potential more robust studies are required to provide conclusive evidence on the efficacy and safety of Tai Chi and qigong for reducing major stroke risk factors.

Genetic polymorphisms of vitamin D3 metabolizing CYP24A1 and CYP2R1 enzymes in Turkish patients with ischemic stroke.
Conclusion This is the first study conducted regarding the association of CYP24A1 rs927650 and CYP2R1 rs10741657 genetic polymorphisms and ischemic stroke risk. The polymorphic genotypes of these polymorphisms, together with hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and obesity, were found as significant risk factors for ischemic stroke.

Associations between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and ischemic stroke.
Authors: Alkagiet S, Papagiannis A, Tziomalos K Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the commonest chronic liver disease and affects a considerable proportion of the general population. NAFLD is independently associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events, particularly coronary heart disease. Importantly, even though NAFLD is more prevalent in patients with major cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity and hypertension), the association between NAFLD and cardiovascular disease appears to be independent of these risk factors. However, NAFLD also appears to incre...

Gender and thrombolysis therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients with incidence of obesity
ConclusionElderly obese male stroke patients with elevated diastolic blood pressure, history of peripheral vascular disease, and obese female stroke patients with a history of coronary artery disease were more likely to be excluded from rtPA.

The population attributable risk and clustering of stroke risk factors in different economical regions of China
The greatest regional variation in stroke prevalence exists in China. However, whether there are differences in population attributable risk (PAR) and clustering of stroke risk factors among regions resulting in stroke geographic variation is unclear. We conducted face-to-face surveys of residents of 14 provinces from September 2016 to May 2017 who participated in the Chinese Stroke Screening and Prevention Project. We compared the specific PAR values of eight risk factors and the different cluster rates and patterns in China. A total of 84,751partipants were included. Eight factors accounted for 70% to 80% of the PAR of...

Use of central venous catheter and increased risk of ischemic stroke
This study is on fresh ground on the issue of CVC and stroke complications and has the potential to serve as a guide and stimulus for future research. We propose two fundamental strategies to reduce ri sks of stroke associated to CVC that should be evaluated: (i) the implementation of local prevention bundles and (ii) the use of ultrasound scanning for catheter surveillance.5 Based on the authors ’ observations, we further propose that can we create sub-groups of patients, i.e. who were required CVC placement having risk factors to develop stroke vs. patients not having risk factors to develop stroke. This can help us to...

Trends in the Incidence and Risk Factors of Pregnancy-Associated Stroke
The objective of this review is to summarize studies on time trends of PAS in relation to trends in the prevalence of stroke risk factors in pregnant women. Seven retrospective national healthcare register-based cohort studies from the US, Canada, UK, Sweden, and Finland were identified. Five studies from the US, Canada, and Finland reported an increasing trend of PAS. Potential biases include more sensitive diagnostics and improved stroke awareness among pregnant women and professionals toward the end of the study period. However, the concurrent increase in the prevalence of several stroke risk factors among pregnant wome...

The Impact of Body Mass Index Classification on Outcomes After Stroke Rehabilitation: A Retrospective Study
With improving stroke mortality rates, more individuals are living with the consequences of stroke. Obesity is a known risk factor for stroke, but its effect on functional outcomes poststroke is less clear. The aim of this study was to determine the association between body mass index classification (underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese) and functional outcomes, as measured by Functional Independence Measure change, Functional Independence Measure efficiency, and rehabilitation length of stay after inpatient stroke rehabilitation. A retrospective cohort study of individuals with a diagnosis of stroke admitted ...

Gut microbiome plays a vital role in post-stroke injury repair by mediating neuroinflammation
In this study, we reviewed the role of the gut microbiome in cerebral stroke and the underlying mechanism of the AMPK signaling pathway in stroke. AMPK mediators in nerve repair and the regulation of intestinal microbial balance were also summarized.PMID:37031605 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110126

Stroke-related risk factors during pregnancy in women who underwent metabolic and bariatric surgery compared with women who have not undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery
CONCLUSIONS: MBS helps women lose weight and decrease the incidence of some pregnancy-related risk factors for stroke. However, there is a notable racial health disparity.PMID:37150625 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.03.017
