Recurrent stroke in childhood cancer survivors
Conclusion: Survivors of childhood cancer, particularly those previously treated with high-dose cranial radiation, have a high risk of recurrent stroke for decades after a first stroke. Although these strokes are mostly occurring in young adulthood, hypertension, an established atherosclerotic risk factor, independently predicts recurrent stroke in this population.

Radiation, Atherosclerotic Risk Factors, and Stroke Risk in Survivors of Pediatric Cancer: A Report From the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study
Conclusion: Young adult pediatric cancer survivors have an increased stroke risk that is associated with CRT in a dose-dependent manner. Atherosclerotic risk factors enhanced this risk and should be treated aggressively.

Whole-genome sequencing of childhood cancer survivors treated with cranial radiation therapy identifies 5p15.33 locus for stroke: A report from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: A novel locus 5p15.33 is associated with stroke risk among childhood cancer survivors, with a possible CRT dose-specific effect. The locus is of potential clinical utility in characterizing individuals who may benefit from surveillance and intervention strategies. PMID: 31462438 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

AACR: Genetic study identifies a risk factor for stroke among cancer survivors
(St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) Research at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has identified a genomic risk factor associated with stroke in childhood cancer survivors. Higher doses of radiation have been previously correlated with risk of stroke. However, the researchers wanted to understand why some patients treated with high doses do not experience a stroke, while other patients do when they are treated at lower doses.

A Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study of Cerebrovascular Disease and Late Effects After Radiation Therapy for Craniopharyngioma
ConclusionsPatients with craniopharyngioma treated with RT have a high prevalence of stroke and vascular abnormalities, particularly those with low HDL and longer duration of time since RT. There is a trend to suggest that continual GH replacement may reduce the risk of stroke. These patients should undergo careful monitoring and aggressive modification of stroke risk factors.

Can You Think Yourself Into A Different Person?
For years she had tried to be the perfect wife and mother but now, divorced, with two sons, having gone through another break-up and in despair about her future, she felt as if she’d failed at it all, and she was tired of it. On 6 June 2007 Debbie Hampton, of Greensboro, North Carolina, took an overdose of more than 90 pills – a combination of ten different prescription drugs, some of which she’d stolen from a neighbor’s bedside cabinet. That afternoon, she’d written a note on her computer: “I’ve screwed up this life so bad that there is no place here for me and nothing I can contr...

Prevalence of cardiovascular late sequelae in long ‐term survivors of childhood cancer: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionThis review showed the vast range of cardiovascular late effects after childhood or adolescent cancer therapy. The differences between the papers prevented drawing a conclusive picture of the prevalence of cardiovascular late effects. Large cohort studies and better reporting are needed to improve the knowledge on this topic.

7 Myths About Cholesterol, Debunked
You may not recall every lab value from your last physical, but you probably remember one: Your cholesterol level. If it’s higher than ideal, you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2015 and 2018, almost 12% of U.S. adults ages 20 and up had high total cholesterol, defined as above 240 mg/dL. The type that physicians mostly worry about is LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol, which is one component of that total. Why do doctors care so much about cholesterol? First, “it predicts risk,” says Dr. Jeffrey Berger, a cardiologist and director of the C...
