Common genetic variants on chromosome 9p21 confers risk of ischemic stroke: A large-scale genetic association study
The objective of this experiment was to observe the allele frequency and genotype distribution of some 9p21 SNPs in the Anhui Han population, and to study its relationship with the susceptibility to ischemic stroke. For this purpose, a collection of 992 patients with ischemic stroke confirmed and hospitalized in our hospital from October 2017 to October 2020 were used as the IS case group, and 951 normal people who had a healthy physical examination in the physical examination center of our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. After informed consent, cubital venous blood of all subjects was c...

Role of female community health volunteers in ischemic stroke prevention, identification, referral and rehabilitation in Nepal
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2021 Oct 8;72:102893. doi: 10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102893. eCollection 2021 Dec.ABSTRACTFor the past three decades, female community health volunteers (FCHVs) have been at the forefront of Nepal's health map and have contributed significantly to its improving health indicators such as maternal mortality rate and infant mortality rate. Given the changing epidemiology of Nepal and the shift of burden from communicable to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), it is important to revitalize their role with the changing times. The prevalence of ischemic stroke in Nepal is on the rise. However, very few people make i...

Ambient fine particulate pollution hysteresis triggers wake-up stroke and rapidly triggers non-wake-up stroke: a case-crossover study
This study aimed to explore the relationship between WUS and non-WUS and atmospheric pollutants. A total of 1432 patients (331 WUS patients and 1101 non-WUS patients) were admitted to a tertiary hospital from 2016 to 2019. A time-stratified case-crossover design and a conditional logistic regression model to study the associations of change in pollutant concentration with WUS and non-WUS events were constructed. Data analysis revealed that WUS-related risks increased 48 to 72 h after the increase in the PM2.5 concentration (each 10 μg/m3 increase, lag 0-72 h) [threshold OR (95% CI):18 μg/m3 1.03 (0.94-1.11), 35 μg/m3 1....

Sex-Differences In The Incidence Of Stroke: Should We Change Our Traditional Belief?
We have read with a great interest the recent article by Arboix et al. that was published in your prestigious journal addressing the sex differences in the epidemiology of stroke in a hospital of Spain[1]. The authors reported higher rate of stroke-related risk factors like diabetes and ischemic heart disease in men and hypertension in women with stroke.

IJERPH, Vol. 13, Pages 477: H-Type Hypertension and C Reactive Protein in Recurrence of Ischemic Stroke
Hypertension with high homocysteine (HHcy) (H-type hypertension) and C reactive protein (CRP) can increase the incidence of ischemic stroke. However, it is not clear whether recurrent ischemic stroke (RIS) is related to H-type hypertension and CRP. The present study investigated the correlation of H-type hypertension and CRP level with RIS. Totally, 987 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were recruited in a teaching hospital in Henan province, China during March 2014 to March 2015. The demographic and clinical characteristics and blood biochemical parameters of patients were analyzed. Elevated levels of CRP an...

Predictors of survival for patients with cancer after cryptogenic stroke
Abstract Patients with active cancer experience ischemic stroke via cryptogenic mechanisms, with cancer-associated hypercoagulability being considered a major contributor to such strokes. Despite the remarkably shortened survival of these patients, the clinical predictors of survival are poorly understood. We determined the clinical factors including D-dimer levels serving as the predictors of overall survival in these patients. Retrospective study was conducted on cancer patients who visited our hospital for acute ischemic stroke with cryptogenic mechanisms from April 2012 through November 2014. Demographics, cl...

Importance of Distinguishing Between Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy With Elderly Onset of Stroke-Like Episodes and Cerebral Infarction.
Abstract The most common disease-causing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (ME) with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is m.3243A>G. In the future, the incidence of patients with cerebral infarction and diabetes mellitus is expected to increase tremendously. Additionally, the A3243G mutation typical of diabetes is estimated to be present in approximately 2% of all diabetes patients, which suggests that the potential disease population with a mitochondrial disorder is greater than previously thought, and there may have been many cases among the elderly that were...

Prescription Doses of Fish Oil May Lower Heart Attack and Stroke Risk
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fish oil, are known to be good for the heart. Studies have shown that people who eat more fish rich in these fats have lower rates of heart problems and less risk of dying from heart disease compared to those who eat less. Those data have fueled a booming business in over-the-counter fish oil supplements. In a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and presented at the American Heart Association annual meeting, researchers report that a highly purified version of omega-3 fats, called icosapent ethyl, can lower the risk of a number of heart-related events, including hear...

Effect of Ramadan fasting on incidence of Cerebrovascular stroke in Egyptian patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes is an independent risk factor for stroke disease. Fasting during Ramadan, Muslims must abstain from eating, drinking, taking oral medications, and smoking from the exact time of dawn until time of sunset; in this study we investigated if there is impact of Ramadan Fasting on incidence of Cerebrovascular stroke among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This cross sectional study was conducted in medical ICU of Zagazig University Hospitals, in months of Sha ’ban, Ramadan and Shawwal, in 1436; total numbers of 220 patients diagnosed as cerebrovascular stroke were enrolled in.

Taking A Hot Bath Linked To Lower Risk Of Heart Disease And Stroke, Study Finds
(CNN) — Ending your day with a hot bath might have more benefits than just relaxation. It could also lower your risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study finds. Previous research on bathing has already shown that it’s beneficial for sleep quality and how healthy a person thinks they are. A new study, published Tuesday in the journal Heart, found that a daily hot bath is also associated with a 28% lower risk of heart disease, and a 26% lower risk of stroke — likely because taking a bath is also associated with lowering your blood pressure, the researchers said. They discovered this after tracking the b...

An investigation into the impact of enteric coated of aspirin in patients with newly diagnosed ischemic stroke (ECASIS)
Discussion: This trial will determine potential differences in the efficacy of EC Aspirin and plain Aspirin on the Thromboxane B2 level. Additionally, it will ascertain the tolerability and safety of both formulations of Aspirin in patients with newly diagnosed ischemic stroke. These results will either support the current notion of no difference between the two formulations. However, if a difference is found, this will invite for future trials exploring clinical outcomes occurrence between various formulations. Clinical trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04330872 registered on April 2, 2020

Clinical risk factors associated with recurrence of ischemic stroke within two years: A cohort study
To identify the clinical risk factors and investigate the efficacy of a classification model based on the identified factors for predicting 2-year recurrence after ischemic stroke. From June 2017 to January 2019, 358 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke were enrolled and followed up in Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded by trained medical staff. The outcome was defined as recurrence within 2 years. A multivariate logistic regression model with risk factors and their interaction effects was established and evaluated. The mean (standard deviation) age ...
