Correlation between Vitamin D, homocysteine and brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in patients with ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D supplementation was used as a therapeutic agent in patients with acute ischemic stroke that affects homocysteine and BDNF levels. In this study, it was demonstrated for the first time that there is a correlation between serum vitamin D levels and BDNF levels in patients who have experienced a stroke.PMID:36394751 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202211_30154

Endovascular treatment for ischaemic stroke patients with and without atrial fibrillation, and the effects of adjunctive pharmacotherapy: a narrative review
Expert Opin Pharmacother. 2022 Dec 21. doi: 10.1080/14656566.2022.2161362. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is associated with good clinical outcomes in anterior circulation ischaemic stroke. The impact of EVT on clinical outcomes in patients with ischaemic stroke with and without atrial fibrillation, and the effect of adjunctive pharmacological therapies with EVT, remains unclear.AREAS COVERED: The goal of this narrative review aims to provide an overview of studies which have examined: 1) associations between EVT and outcomes for patients following ischaemic stroke, 2) associati...

Outcomes of Discontinuing Rivaroxaban Compared With Warfarin in Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Analysis From the ROCKET AF Trial (Rivaroxaban Once-Daily, Oral, Direct Factor Xa Inhibition Compared With Vitamin K Antagonism for Prevention of Stroke and Embolism Trial in Atrial Fibrillation)
ConclusionsIn atrial fibrillation patients who temporarily or permanently discontinued anticoagulation, the risk of stroke or non-CNS embolism was similar with rivaroxaban or warfarin. An increased risk of stroke and non-CNS embolism was observed in rivaroxaban-treated patients compared with warfarin-treated patients after the end of the study, underscoring the importance of therapeutic anticoagulation coverage during such a transition.

Oxidative Stress and Pathophysiology of Ischemic Stroke: Novel Therapeutic Opportunities.
Abstract Stroke is the second leading cause of death, after ischemic heart disease, and accounts for 9% of deaths worldwide. According to the World Health Organization [WHO], 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide each year. Of these, more than 6 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. Reactive oxygen species [ROS] have been implicated in brain injury after ischemic stroke. There is evidence that a rapid increase in the production of ROS immediately after acute ischemic stroke rapidly overwhelm antioxidant defences, causing further tissue damage. These ROS can damage cellular macromolecules ...

Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation—An Asian stroke perspective
Despite relatively lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Asians (~1%) than in Caucasians (~2%), Asia has a much higher overall disease burden because of its proportionally larger aged population. For example, on the basis of reported age-adjusted prevalence rates and projected population figures in China, there will be an estimated 5.2 million men and 3.1 million women with AF older than 60 years by year 2050. Stroke is a disabling complication of AF that is of increasing cause for concern in Asians patients. Implementing consensus expert recommendations for managing stroke risk in patients with AF can considerab...

Arterial ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke in Chinese children: A retrospective analysis
This study retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients in both department of neurology and department of neurosurgery in Children’s hospital of Chongqing medical university from January 2003 to March 2011, and patients were eligible for analysis if they had been diagnosed with AIS or HS. And SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The χ2 test was used to exam relationships between stroke types and sex, age, and that between neuroradiological images and sex. 119 Boys (70.4%) and 50 girls (29.6%) were included. In these cases, HS accounted for the majority of the cases (n=109, 64.1%), and vitamin K ...

Cost-Effectiveness of Apixaban Versus Other New Oral Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: Although our analysis was limited by the absence of head-to-head trials, based on the indirect comparison data available, our model projects that apixaban may be a cost-effective alternative to dabigatran 150 mg BID, dabigatran 110 mg BID, and rivaroxaban 20 mg once daily for stroke prevention in AF patients from the perspective of the United Kingdom National Health Services.

Circulating desphospho-uncarboxylated matrix Gla protein and the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.
CONCLUSION: The average follow-up was 11.5 years. Dp-ucMGP concentrations were not associated with CHD risk with a HR per SD of 1.00 (95% CI: 0.93-1.07) and a HR Q4 vs Q1 of 0.94 (95% CI: 0.79-1.13) after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. Dp-ucMGP was not associated with stroke risk (HRSD 0.98;95% CI: 0.90-1.08 and a HR Q4 vs Q1 of 1.09;95% CI: 0.78-1.51). This study could not confirm that high dp-ucMGP concentrations, reflecting a poor vitamin K status, are associated with increased CHD or stroke risk in the general population.

Vitamin D metabolites and fibroblast growth factor-23 in patients with left ventricular assist device implants: association with stroke and mortality risk
Conclusions In LVAD patients, deficient 25OHD levels are independently associated with high stroke and mortality risk. If confirmed in randomized controlled trials, preoperative correction of deficient vitamin D status could be a promising measure to reduce stroke and mortality risk in LVAD patients.

Selection of Warfarin or One of the New Oral Antithrombotic Agents for Long-Term Prevention of Stroke among Persons with Atrial Fibrillation
Opinion statement Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disorder, which can potentially increases the risk of stroke by five-fold, thus, resulting in high public healthcare burden. Stroke prevention is vital in the management of AF patients. Vitamin K antagonists (VKA, eg, warfarin) have been the mainstay treatment to prevent ischemic stroke and systemic thromboembolism in AF patients for several decades. Despite the efficacy of warfarin, its limitations have recently driven the advent of some new antithrombotic agents, the non-VKA oral anticoagulant (NOACs, including dabigatran, ri...
