Massive Epistaxis from Internal Carotid Pseudoaneurysm during Acute Ischemic Stroke in a Patient with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
CONCLUSION: Carotid blowout syndrome in NPC patients during acute ischemic stroke warrants further cervical angiographic study. Endovascular treatment provides immediate hemostasis and obliteration of ICA pseudoaneurysm. PMID: 26077184 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Risk of Stroke After Definitive Radiotherapy —Cause for Concern or Modest Risk?
With the rapidly increasing prevalence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), largely driven by the human papillomavirus (HPV) epidemic, and with relative equipoise between radiation-based and surgery-based treatment protocols, there has been renewed interest in describing differences in functional outcomes between the 2 treatment modalities. Radiation is theoretically related to stroke risk due to carotid artery intimal injury, which could lead to the development of atherosclerosis. Both carotid artery stenosis and carotid intima-medial thickness have been shown to be associated with radiation therapy providing...

Radiotherapy Induced Atherosclerosis and Stroke Syndrome (RIASS) Causing Bilateral Vision Loss and Multifocal Strokes. A Case Report and Literature Review (P4.358)
Conclusions: Evidence-based guidelines for the management of asymptomatic and symptomatic RIASS are lacking. We recommend periodic surveillance with carotid duplex scan for early diagnosis and implementation of effective stroke-prevention therapies. Most studies are retrospective surgical case series on patients with extracranial carotid stenosis (ECS) and favor either stenting or endarterectomy. Neither approach is clearly superior, as no head-to-head trial comparing both procedures in this context exists. Bypass surgery has been used in cases of HNXRT associated ECS but the long term effect has not been demonstrated. Aty...

Stroke after Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer – What is the Risk?
Treating head and neck squamous cell carcinomas with radiotherapy has been shown to cause damage to the cerebrovasculature. This retrospective cohort study found that any exposure to radiation was associated with a 46% higher hazard of stroke, and with radiotherapy as the sole treatment modality, 70% increased risk of stroke compared to surgery alone. Implications of this research speak to the need for adequate follow-up and survivorship care among patients that were treated with RT.

The Syndrome of Stroke-like Migraine Attacks After Radiation Therapy Associated With Prolonged Unresponsiveness in an Adult Patient
Conclusions: Reduced level of consciousness of such severity and duration as observed here has not previously been described in SMART syndrome. This report, however, suggests that an excellent prognosis can be expected even in cases of prolonged unresponsiveness. The pathogenic mechanisms of SMART syndrome remain unclear, but may involve pathways common to both migraine and epilepsy.

Patients With Head/Neck Cancer See Lower Stroke Risk With Initial Surgery
(MedPage Today) -- In oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), the type of initial treatment appears to influence the likelihood of stroke in the years afterward, researchers said. A population-based study of U.S. veterans treated for OPSCC...

Role of TREK-1 in Health and Disease, Focus on the Central Nervous System
Conclusion and Perspectives Since their cloning 20 years ago, the physiological importance of TREK-1 channels has continued to grow (Figure 3). Today, TREK-1 channels have been shown to be important and their presence is essential in a number of physiopathological processes. Their involvement in these different processes demonstrate the necessity to design pharmacological modulators, activators or inhibitors, of these channels to correct any TREK-1-related dysfunctions. Despites a number of studies and many molecule screenings, only few putative new drugs were identified. The activators belonging to the ML and BL series ...

Vertebral artery stenosis predicts cerebrovascular diseases following radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Our study found that NPC patients with vertebral artery stenosis, atrial fibrillation, or hypertension carry a higher risk for ischemic stroke or TIA. Regular assessment of vertebral artery after radiotherapy was suggested.PMID:35357575 | DOI:10.1007/s00520-022-07011-8

The Association of Arsenic Metabolism with Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, and Diabetes: A Systematic Review of the Epidemiological Evidence
Conclusions: Population level of iAs% and DMA%, but not MMA%, were associated with arsenic exposure levels. Overall, study findings suggest that higher MMA% was associated with an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, while lower MMA% was associated with an increased risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Additional population-based studies and experimental studies are needed to further evaluate and understand the role of arsenic exposure in arsenic metabolism and the role of arsenic metabolism in disease development. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP577 Received: 01 June 2016 Revised: 26 February 2017 Acce...
