Stroke Mimics and Chameleons from the Radiological Viewpoint of Glioma Diagnosis.
This study enrolled 214 patients who underwent tumor resection for suspected glioma. Clinical characteristics and radiological findings of the patients were compared between the masquerade findings group, which was further divided into two groups: the stroke chameleons and stroke mimics according to their final diagnosis, and the intelligible findings group.Stroke chameleons and stroke mimics were significantly higher in age and smaller in lesion size than the intelligible findings group. In the multivariate analysis, the predictive factor of the masquerade finding group was higher age and smaller size. Stroke mimics group...

Systematic analysis of brain and skull ischemic injury expression profiles reveals associations of the tumor immune microenvironment and cell death with ischemic stroke
ConclusionThis systematic analysis not only helps in the understanding of the changes in the gene expression profiles of both the brain and skull with ischemic injury but also reveals the association of the tumor immune microenvironment and cell death with ischemic stroke.

Mitochondrial Encephalopathy with Lactic Acidosis and Stroke (MELAS) presenting as an apparent neoplastic process (P5.015)
CONCLUSION: MELAS can mimic more common disorders. The slow onset of her symptoms and the MRI's appearance led to suspicion for neoplasm. This is the first report to our knowledge where MELAS has presented as such. Documentation of this and other unusual presentations of mitochondrial disease is crucial to appropriate diagnosis of the condition.Disclosure: Dr. Rothstein has nothing to disclose.

Stroke-like migraine attacks in long term survivors of high grade glioma. (P1.174)
Conclusions:Stroke-like migraine attacks are difficult to treat and the pathophysiology is unknown. With more sophisticated imaging techniques, a better understanding of this phenomenon will aid in the treatment and prophylaxis of the syndrome with a goal of improving quality of life for this small but slowly growing population.Disclosure: Dr. New has nothing to disclose.

Early-onset stroke in two siblings with Neurofibromatosis type 1.
Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorder, characterized by cafe-au-lait macules, benign neurofibromas as well as malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours, freckling in the axillary or inguinal regions, optic glioma and Lisch nodules (iris hamartomas) and further manifestations like bone deformities etc. Additionally, NF1 patients are at increased risk of early-onset cerebrovascular diseases, the pathogenesis of which has not been clarified yet. Here we report the first case of two siblings with NF1 who suffered an acute ischemic stroke. Professionals treating NF1 pa...

Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Focal Ischemic Stroke.
Abstract Focal ischemic stroke (FIS) is a leading cause of human debilitation and death. Following the onset of a FIS, the brain experiences a series of spatiotemporal changes which are exemplified in different pathological processes. One prominent feature of FIS is the development of reactive astrogliosis and glial scar formation in the peri-infarct region (PIR). During the subacute phase, astrocytes in PIR are activated, referred to as reactive astrocytes (RAs), exhibit changes in morphology (hypotrophy), show an increased proliferation capacity, and altered gene expression profile, a phenomenon known as reac...

Identification of Circulating MicroRNAs as Potential Biomarkers for Detecting Acute Ischemic Stroke.
In conclusion, we identified the changed expression pattern of miRNAs in IS. Serum miR-32-3p, miR-106-5p, miR-1246, and miR-532-5p may serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers for IS. Our results also demonstrate a novel role for miRNAs in the pathogenesis of IS. PMID: 25410304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Incidence and impact of stroke following surgery for low-grade gliomas.
CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent surgeries and insular tumor locations are risk factors for intraoperative strokes. Although they do not affect survival, these strokes negatively affect patient activity and performance status, mainly during the first 3 postoperative months, with gradual functional improvement over 1 year. Several intraoperative parameters may suggest the impending development of an infarct. PMID: 31881532 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cn-14 * retrospective analysis of ischemic cerebral strokes in patients diagnosed with a glioblastoma during the course of a bevacizumab treatment
Bevacizumab is an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor approved in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. It prolongs progression-free survival, improes radiologic response and contributes to reduce the dose of dexamethasone required to control peritumoral edema. Arterial and venous thromboembolic events represent significant toxicities related to the use of angiogenesis inhibitors. Various mechanisms could be implicated in bevacizumab-related strokes, as cardioembolic, lacunar stroke related to hypertension, deep venous thrombosis passing through a patent foramen ovale, pro-coagulant effect of the underlying glioblas...

Arterial Spin Labeling Imaging Characteristics of Anti-leucine-rich Glioma-Inactivated 1 Encephalitis: A Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
DiscussionIn this preliminary study of six patients, we demonstrate an ASL hyperperfusion pattern, with a possible predilection for the right mesial temporal lobe on both qualitative and quantitative assessments in patients with seropositive LGI1. Larger scale studies are necessary to further characterize the strength of these associations.

Multiple Mechanistic Models Reveal the Neuroprotective Effects of Diterpene Ginkgolides against Astrocyte-Mediated Demyelination via the PAF-PAFR Pathway
Am J Chin Med. 2022 Jul 29:1-33. doi: 10.1142/S0192415X22500665. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrently, therapies for ischemic stroke are limited. Ginkgolides, unique Folium Ginkgo components, have potential benefits for ischemic stroke patients, but there is little evidence that ginkgolides improve neurological function in these patients. Clinical studies have confirmed the neurological improvement efficacy of diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection (DGMI), an extract of Ginkgo biloba containing ginkgolides A (GA), B (GB), and K (GK), in ischemic stroke patients. In the present study, we performed transcriptome analys...
