Influence of Sex on Stroke Prognosis: A Demographic, Clinical, and Molecular Analysis
Conclusion Our data suggest that women who suffer from IS present with a poorer functional outcome than men at 3-months, regardless of other preclinical and clinical factors during the acute phase. These relationships seem to be mediated by atrial dysfunction and inflammation. The inflammatory response is slightly higher in women; however, there are no sex differences in their functional behavior. There is a probable relationship between the molecular marker of atrial dysfunction NT-proBNP and worse functional outcome in women, and the connection seems to be more important in cardioembolic stroke patients. In patients wi...

Stroke-mimics in stroke-units. Evaluation after changes imposed by randomized trials
Conclusion: Considering that the number of patients admitted for stroke treatment will increase even further with a larger therapeutic window for mechanical thrombectomy and for thrombolysis, a diagnostic decision-making algorithm for stroke patients is required in order to reinforce the suspicion of stroke indicating an urgent MRI.Resumo Uma janela terap êutica maior para o tratamento do AVC exige uma mudança significativa na organização dos serviços de emergência, para evitar o aumento do número de exames de imagem e indiretamente o tempo de tratamento. Objetivo: destacar a relação entre avaliação clínica mai...

Stroke Mortality Outcomes in Uganda (S32.002)
Conclusions:Our study highlights the poor outcome of stroke patients in southwestern Uganda with an overall 30-day mortality of 38.1%, and identifies NIHSS at admission, female sex, anemia, and HIV infection as predictors of mortality. While there was no statistically significant difference in mortality between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes in our study, patients with hemorrhagic stroke did have statistically higher levels of impairment on hospital admission and discharge.Disclosure: Dr. Olum has nothing to disclose.

CSF-Based Volumetric Imaging Biomarkers Highlight Incidence and Risk Factors for Cerebral Edema After Ischemic Stroke
ConclusionsCerebral edema can be measured in a majority of patients with stroke on follow-up computed tomography using volumetric biomarkers evaluating CSF shifts, including in many without visible midline shift. Edema formation is influenced by clinical and radiographic stroke severity but also by chronic vascular risk factors and contributes to worse stroke outcomes.

Vertebrobasilar Artery Calcification as a Risk Factor for the Development of Stroke: Case-Control Study From a Tertiary Care Center, Southern India
Conclusion The presence of higher grades of calcifications in the vertebrobasilar arteries is a major risk factor for stroke. Hence, its presence in asymptomatic individuals needs to be taken as a warning sign for the development of stroke.PMID:37605701 | PMC:PMC10440145 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.42196

Prevalence of Patent Foramen Ovale in Ischaemic Stroke in Italy: Results of SISIFO Study
Conclusion: If any relationship exists between stroke and PFO, this is more likely in PACI and POCI at a younger age. Our results are consistent with recent findings that underline PFO alone must not be considered a significant independent predictor for stroke; so the presence of PFO alone doesn't permit rushed causal correlations or ‘therapeutic aggressiveness'.Cerebrovasc Dis 2015;39:162-169

Port Harcourt Stroke Registry: A Prospective Hospital Based Study. (P1.074)
CONCLUSION: This Stroke Registry, first of its kind from this region of Nigeria presents a handy tool to track the epidemiology of stroke in this region. It will contribute to stroke prevention by providing the evidence required to formulate policies and measures required to control identified risk factors.Disclosure: Dr. Okunoye has nothing to disclose.

Presence and extent of coronary calcified plaque evaluated by coronary computed tomographic angiography are independent predictors of ischemic stroke in patients with suspected coronary artery disease
Abstract Although ischemic stroke and coronary artery disease (CAD) share common risk factors and pathophysiology, the risk of stroke in patients with CAD remains unclear. We sought to evaluate the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with suspected CAD according to coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) findings. Presence, severity, and extent of CAD were evaluated in 1137 patients with suspected CAD who underwent CCTA and SPECT. Primary outcome was the occurrence of ischemic stroke. During follow-up (median 26 months), ischemic stroke was obse...

Risk factors of stroke recurrence in a low income country: case of Senegal (P6.289)
Conclusions:Stroke recurrence is relatively frequent in Senegal. Frequently, patients are irregularly followed up sometimes because of the unavailability of neurologists and neurology unit in peripheral regions and the cost of treatment. Effort should be done to improve the management of cardiovascular risk factors.Disclosure: Dr. Gams Massi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Nyassinde has nothing to disclose.

Monocyte count at onset predicts post ‐stroke outcomes during a 90‐day follow up
ConclusionsSmoker had more severe AIS and higher leukocytes and adhesion molecule levels. In the overall cohort, monocyte count was an independent predictor of worse post‐stroke outcome. Although larger trials are needed, monocyte count might be a cheap prognostic parameter in AIS.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
