A call for new attitudes on infection, vaccination, and childhood stroke
Population-based estimates of the incidence of childhood stroke range from 2.6 to 13 cases per 100,000 children per year. Unlike in adults, conventional stroke risk factors such as arterial hypertension, diabetes, and cigarette smoking make little contribution to the etiology of stroke in children. Developmental, genetic, and environmental factors are major contributors to ischemic stroke in children.

Long-Term Stroke Risk Due to Partial White-Coat or Masked Hypertension Based on Home and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurements: The Ohasama Study Epidemiology/Population
In conclusion, impacts of partial WCHT as well as partial masked hypertension for long-term stroke risk were comparable to those of complete masked hypertension or sustained hypertension. We need both home and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements to evaluate stroke risk accurately.

Beta-blockers are not associated with stroke severity and outcome in hypertensive patients: data from a national stroke registry
Lowering blood pressure (BP) with beta-blockers is less effective in reducing the risk of stroke than with other agents. However, studies on associations between use of beta-blockers and stroke severity are inconclusive. We assessed the association between pre-stroke use of beta-blockers and stroke severity, disability and death in a large prospective national registry of hospitalized hypertensive patients with acute stroke.

Accelerated development of cerebral small vessel disease in young stroke patients
Conclusions: Patients with a young stroke have a higher burden of small vessel disease than controls adjusted for confounders. Cerebral aging seems accelerated by 10–20 years in these patients, which may suggest an increased vulnerability to vascular risk factors.

Increasing comorbidity and health services utilization in older adults with prior stroke
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate the importance of community-based patient-centered care strategies for stroke survivors that address their range of health needs and prevent more costly acute care use.

Continuing or Temporarily Stopping Prestroke Antihypertensive Medication in Acute StrokeNovelty and Significance Stroke
Over 50% of patients are already taking blood pressure–lowering therapy on hospital admission for acute stroke. An individual patient data meta-analysis from randomized controlled trials was undertaken to determine the effect of continuation versus temporarily stopping preexisting antihypertensive medication in acute stroke. Key databases were searched for trials against the following inclusion criteria: randomized design; stroke onset ≤48 hours; investigating the effect of continuation versus stopping prestroke antihypertensive medication; and follow-up of ≥2 weeks. Two randomized controlled trials were identified a...

Does Prior Use of Beta Blockers Affect Functional Outcomes Post Ischemic Stroke Endovascular Intervention? (P5.296)
Conclusions:Prior use of beta blockers did not lead to better functional outcomes (MRS ≤2) in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing EVI. Findings should be further confirmed in larger population.Disclosure: Dr. Albadareen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gronseth has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for Neurology.

Serum Potassium Is Positively Associated With Stroke and Mortality in the Large, Population-Based Malmo Preventive Proȷect Cohort Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—Low serum potassium is associated with stroke in populations with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus but has not been studied in a mainly healthy population. We aimed to study the relation between serum potassium and incident stroke and mortality in the Malmö Preventive Project, a large cohort with screening in early mid-life and follow-up>25 years.Methods—Serum potassium measurements and covariates were available in 21 353 individuals (79% men, mean age 44 years). Mean follow-up time was 26.9 years for stroke analyses and 29.3 years for mortality analyses. There were ...

Change in CSF Dynamics Responsible for ICP Elevation After Ischemic Stroke in Rats: a New Mechanism for Unexplained END?
AbstractIt has been proposed that intracranial pressure (ICP) elevation and collateral failure are responsible for unexplained early neurological deterioration (END) in stroke. The study ’s aims were to investigate whether cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, rather than edema, are responsible for elevation of ICP after ischemic stroke. Permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) was induced with an intraluminal filament. At 24 h after stroke, baseline ICP was measured an d CSF dynamics were probed via a steady-state infusion method. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging wer...

Risk factors and pathogenic microorganism characteristics for pneumonia in convalescent patients with stroke: A retrospective study of 380 patients from a rehabilitation hospital
Stroke significantly impacts public health and ranks among the leading causes of death and disabilities, resulting in enormous costs measured in both health care resources and lost productivity. It results primarily from embolus or thrombosis for ischemic stroke and hypertension for hemorrhagic stroke, respectively [1]. In 2016, there were 5.5 million deaths and 116.4 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) owed to stroke [2]. As reported, the impact of stroke on the Chinese population is more severe compared to average global levels, and the prevalence of stroke continues to surpass that of ischemic heart disease [3 –4].

Causes of ischemic stroke in young adults versus non-young adults: A multicenter hospital-based observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Certain embolic sources and uncommon causes may be etiologically important causes of ischemic stroke in young adults. However, the contribution of conventional vascular risk factors and lifestyle-related risk factors is not negligible with advancing age, even in young adults.PMID:35830430 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0268481

Is the outpatient management of acute minor stroke feasible and safe?
Paul et al1 have assessed the clinical outcomes, early hospital admission rates and hospital care costs in clinic referred and hospital referred minor stroke patients in a prospective population based study. They did not find significant differences in the 30 day admission rate in clinic patients compared with the 30 day readmission rate after discharge in hospital treated patients (16/237 vs 9/150). The 30 day recurrent stroke risk in patients with minor ischaemic stroke was also similar in those discharged from clinic compared with hospital patients (3.8% vs 5.3%; p=0.61). The recurrent stroke risk remained similar in pa...

Association between Inflammatory Biomarkers and Progression of Intracranial Large Artery Stenosis after Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: In addition to traditional risk factors and baseline radiologic findings, circulating levels of IL-6 measured soon after stroke onset are associated with future ILA progression.
