Comparison of major modifiable stroke risk factors associated with lacunar strokes in anterior and posterior circulation in multiethnic cohort (P7.143)
CONCLUSIONS: Hypertriglyceridemia may be associated with posterior circulation SVD. In the setting of the obesity epidemic, hypertriglyceridemia prevalence is increasing; therefore, we might expect a concomitant increase in the incidence of posterior circulation strokes.Disclosure: Dr. Bulic has nothing to disclose. Dr. Valle has nothing to disclose. Dr. Towfighi has nothing to disclose.

Sex Differences in Outcomes and Associated Risk Factors After Acute Ischemic Stroke in Elderly Patients: A Prospective Follow-up Study
Stroke has a greater effect on women. However, sex differences in outcome and factors associated with outcome among elderly patients are unknown. From January 2009 to December 2011, 810 patients with acute ischemic stroke aged 75 years or older were recruited in China. Clinical profile and risk factors were recorded. Outcomes and associated risk factors at 12 and 36 months after stroke were assessed by sex. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemias, and obesity prevalence rates were higher in women than in men; opposite trends were found for smoking and alcohol consumption.

Television Viewing Time and Stroke Risk: Australian Diabetes Obesity and Lifestyle Study (1999-2012)
Introduction: Having a low level of physical activity is an established risk factor for stroke, but little is known about the importance of common sedentary behavior —television viewing—to stroke risk. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data that were collected as part of the longitudinal Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle study. Stroke events reported during the study (between baseline assessment in 1999-2000 and April 2011) were con firmed using adjudication based on medical records.

Mystery Case: An unexpected complication of IV thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke
A 46-year-old man with psoriasis and morbid obesity developed acute aphasia and right hemiplegia. As a result of his weakness, he had fallen and struck his right eye on a desk. His presenting examination demonstrated right periorbital ecchymosis without accompanying ptosis, expressive aphasia, left gaze deviation with corresponding hemianopsia, and dense right hemiplegia, summating an NIH Stroke Scale score of 13.

Adult stroke risk after growth hormone treatment in childhood: First do no harm
This report has been much anticipated by the endocrinology community because it extends and clarifies findings in a 2012 study showing increased mortality in adults treated in childhood with GH from the prospective European cohort study—the Safety and Appropriateness of Growth Hormone Treatments in Europe (SAGhE).3

Overweight and Obesity in Young Adulthood and the Risk of Stroke: a Meta-analysis
A systematic review assessing the association between overweight and obesity in young adulthood and stroke risk is lacking. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between overweight and obesity in young adulthood and stroke risk.

Medical News Today: Obesity does not predict equal risk for all stroke types
Being overweight or obese is a well-known risk factor for stroke. However, recent research shows that this risk is not equal across all types of stroke.

Impact of Tissue Plasminogen Activator Dosing on Patients Weighing More Than 100 kg on 3-Month Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke
The landmark National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) trial established the effectiveness and dosing of intravenous tPA for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) at .9 mg/kg with a maximum dose of 90 mg. Since the publication of the NINDS trial in 1995, there has been a drastic increase in the amount of obesity and the average weight of adults in the United States, which has caused an increase in the number of patients receiving 90 mg of alteplase for AIS.

Higher BMI Confers a Long-Term Functional Status Advantage in Elderly New Zealand European Stroke Patients
Obesity is a risk factor for ischaemic stroke but provides a survival advantage. The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and long-term function is less clear. The presence of an obesity paradox can inform clinical care and identify vulnerable patients who need additional support post-stroke.

Muscle Strength Gain is Positively Associated with Functional Recovery in Patients with Sarcopenic Obesity After Stroke
Evidence regarding the effect of sarcopenic obesity on recovery in stroke patients is scarce in rehabilitation medicine. The aim of this study was to examine the association between changes in muscle strength and functional outcomes in patients with sarcopenic obesity undergoing rehabilitation after stroke.

Gut Microbiota in Ischemic Stroke: Role of Gut Bacteria-Derived Metabolites
AbstractIschemic stroke (IS) remains a leading cause of death and long-term disability globally. Several mechanisms including glutamate excitotoxicity, calcium overload, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of IS, but the underlying pathophysiology mechanisms of IS are not fully clarified. During the past decade, gut microbiota were recognized as a key regulator to affect the health of the host either directly or via their metabolites. Recent studies indicate that gut bacterial dysbiosis is closely related to hypertension, diabetes, obesity, d...

Is There a Decreased Risk of Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Mortality in Obese Patients Treated with Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke?
Background: The current guidelines do not recommend increasing the dose of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rt-PA) for ischemic stroke patients weighing>100 kg. Obese patients are therefore receiving an IV rt-PA dose
