Basilar artery occlusion presenting as sudden bilateral deafness: a case report
ConclusionsWhen hearing loss is due to vertebrobasilar occlusive disease, the prognosis is very poor. We suggest that vertebrobasilar stroke be suspected in patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who present with risk factors for stroke such as atrial fibrillation and other neurologic signs.

The association between the Moyamoya disease susceptible gene RNF213 variant and incident cardiovascular disease in a general population: the Nagahama study
Objective: An association between the Moyamoya disease susceptible gene ring finger protein 213 (RNF213) variant and ischemic stroke and coronary artery disease has been suggested in case-control studies. We aimed to investigate the possible association between the RNF213 variant and the incidence of cardiovascular disease in a general population. Methods: The study participants consisted of 9153 Japanese community residents without history of cardiovascular disease. The clinical parameters employed in this analysis were observed at baseline between 2008 and 2010. The RNF213 p.R4859K variant was determined by Ta...

Factors Influencing Long-Term Blood Flow in Extracranial-to-Intracranial Bypass for Symptomatic Internal Carotid Artery Occlusive Disease: A Quantitative Study
CONCLUSION: Double anastomoses and cilostazol resulted in long-term STA blood flow preservation. No recurrence of cerebral infarction was noted in either STA hypoperfusion or occlusion cases.

Grading of Japanese Diet Intakes by 24-Hour Urine Analysis of Taurine and Soy Isoflavones in Relation to Cardiovascular Risks
In conclusion, the higher the J score, which corresponds to Japanese dietary habits, the lower the BMI and cholesterol levels, as well as mortality rate from coronary heart disease, but the higher the average life expectancy among the Japanese. However, these higher J scorings were associated with high-salt intake and high Na/K ratios; therefore, they contributed to high blood pressure and high mortality rate caused by stroke in Japan. These results indicate that low-salt intake should be recommended to the Japanese who are consuming seafood and soy regularly in order to maintain lower blood pressure and to extend healthy ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 gene ( < em > FLT1 < /em > ) longevity variant increases lifespan by reducing mortality risk posed by hypertension
In conclusion, the longevity-associated genotype of FLT1 may confer increased lifespan by protecting against mortality risk posed by hypertension. We suggest that FLT1 expression in individuals with longevity genotype boosts vascular endothelial resilience mechanisms to counteract hypertension-related stress in vital organs and tissues.PMID:37178326 | DOI:10.18632/aging.204722

Elevated Aminotransferase Levels and Intracerebral Hemorrhage Deaths in a General Japanese Population
Int Heart J. 2023;64(4):678-683. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-027.ABSTRACTAlthough chronic liver disease has been associated with cardiovascular disease, to which metabolic syndrome might be related, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) generally has not been focused. Associations of chronic liver disease assessed by aspartate (AST) and alanine (ALT) aminotransferase levels with ICH deaths were examined using 15,952 subjects without a history of cardiovascular disease who underwent annual health checkups in 1997 in Japan. Proportional hazards regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, current smoking, diabetes mellitus, dri...
