Evaluating the performance of the PRISMA-7 frailty criteria for predicting disability and death after acute ischemic stroke
Stroke is the second cause of death and disability in the world, affecting close to 14 million people globally per year and being responsible for around 120 million disability-adjusted life years.1,2 More deaths occur worldwide because of stroke than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined.3 Therefore, being able to identify which individuals with stroke are at highest risk of poor function and mortality is critically important given the need for weighing the risks, costs, and benefits of interventions during various shared decision-making processes.

Clinical Associations of Cerebral Microbleeds on Magnetic Resonance Neuroimaging
Susceptibility-weighted and gradient-recalled echo T2* magnetic resonance imaging have enabled the detection of very small foci of blood within the brain, which have been termed “cerebral microbleeds.” These petechial intraparenchymal hemorrhages have begun to emerge as diagnostically and prognostically useful markers in a variety of disease states. Severe hypertension and cerebral amyloid angiopathy are perhaps the best established microhemorrhagic conditions from neuroimaging literature; however, many others are also recognized including cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy, subcortical infarcts, and leukoencepha...
