The Changing Epidemiology of Stroke in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). (I7-1A)
Conclusions:There is an increased frequency of AIDS among stroke patients, possibly due to the increased detection of AIDS. In the HAART era, the median age of incident stroke in AIDS has increased. Whether HAART can reduce the incidence and improve survival of stroke needs to be explored.Disclosure: Dr. Kucab has received personal compensation for activities with Bayer HealthCare as an advisory board participant. Dr. Bhattacharya has nothing to disclose.

Exploring Stroke Risk Factors and Outcomes in Sexual and Gender Minority People
Discussion SGM people may have different risk factors, different mechanisms of stroke, and higher risk of recurrent stroke compared with non-SGM people. Standardized collection of sexual orientation and gender identity would enable larger studies to further understand disparities, leading to secondary prevention strategies.

Prothrombotic factors do not increase the risk of recurrent ischemic events after cryptogenic stroke at young age: the FUTURE study
ConclusionsThe prevalence of prothrombotic factors and preceding infections did not significantly differ between stroke patients with a cryptogenic versus an identified cause of stroke and neither is significantly associated with an increased risk of recurrent ischemic events after cryptogenic stroke.

Frequency of Screening and Prevalence of Neurosyphilis in Stroke Population
Conclusion: Positive syphilis serology is frequent in patients with acute stroke/TIA in our region. Acute post-stroke CSF abnormalities make the diagnosis of NS difficult in the context of CSF VDRL negative.Cerebrovasc Dis

Stroke in a Young Patient: A Sentinel Presentation of Neurosyphilis and HIV (P2.109)
Conclusions: Neurosyphilis should be a diagnostic consideration in young patients with ischemic stroke. Clinicians should be aware of the high incidence of concomitant syphilis and HIV in at-risk populations. Effort should be made to inquire about high-risk behaviors and initiate testing for these infections early in the diagnostic workup to avoid missing these crucial diagnoses.Disclosure: Dr. Flaherty has nothing to disclose.

Small vessel occlusion and syphilis in patients with first-ever ischemic stroke
Conclusion: The current study showed that the frequency of positive syphilis serological test was higher in patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and SVD as the potential causal mechanism. This finding could be related to the endothelial dysfunction occurring in syphilis.RESUMO Introdu ção: A sífilis é uma doença endêmica, especialmente em países de baixa e média renda, com acometimento vascular descrito em grandes vasos (aortite), porém nenhuma relação clara foi reconhecida em paciente com acidente vascular cerebral, exceto para aqueles com sífilis meningovascular.

Stroke and syphilis: A retrospective study of 53 patients.
CONCLUSION: A diagnosis of syphilitic stroke should be suspected in young patients as a manifestation of syphilis, and tests for neurosyphilis should be routine in neurology departments to make a prompt diagnosis, thereby preventing psychological sequelae.

Diagnostic value of color-coded duplex sonography in patients with ischemic stroke and congenital changes in the circle of Willis
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2016 Source:Cor et Vasa Author(s): I. Staikov, I. Stoyanov, M. Staneva, N. Neykov, G. Kirova, P. Polomski, I. Petrov The circle of Willis (CoW) forms the main circulatory system in the human brain. A large number of variations of the CoW is known, and also their association with ischemic stroke. Three cases of young patients with combination of ischemic stroke and anomalies in the CoW are presented, and the value of the color-coded duplex sonography (CCDS) is compared to other imaging diagnostics such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and digital subtraction ang...
