Management for a patient of moyamoya disease presenting with ischemic stroke in the first trimester of pregnancy
We report an extremely rare case of a 27-year-old woman presenting with ischemic stroke as an initial manifestation of moyamoya disease in the first trimester of pregnancy. We conducted an artificial abortion when her neurological symptoms rapidly became refractory to optimal antithrombotic treatments. The progression of neurologic deficits stopped immediately after abortion, resulting in recovery to independence, with slight motor aphasia and right hemiparesis due to improved cerebral flow. We highlight rapid artificial abortion combined with antithrombotic treatment for patients of moyamoya disease with pregnancy-associa...

Abstract 10: Contraindications to Oral Anticoagulation in the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (ORBIT-AF) Concurrent I Session B: Oral Abstract Presentations on Stroke Topics
Conclusions. Contraindications to OAC therapy among AF patients are common and often due to high bleeding risk. Furthermore, many patients with reported contraindications are taking warfarin, suggesting that many contraindications to warfarin therapy are minor, relative, or temporary.

Platelet Count Predicts Adverse Clinical Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke or TIA: Subgroup Analysis of CNSR II
Conclusion: In ischemic stroke or TIA patients with platelet count within normal range, platelet count may be a qualified predictor for long-term recurrent stroke, mortality, and poor functional outcome. Introduction Platelets exert a critical role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic complications of cardio-cerebrovascular disease, contributing to thrombus formation, and embolism (1, 2). Previous literature reported that platelets of various size and density are produced by megakaryocytes of different size and stages of maturation in different clinical conditions, suggesting various platelet patterns in differen...

Flu jab "may cut" stroke risk by a quarter
ConclusionThis research finds that, overall, having the flu vaccine reduced the risk of a person experiencing a stroke by about 25%. The reduction in risk seemed to be greatest within the first three months of vaccination, but remained for up to 12 months.  However, the effect lasted only if the vaccine was given early in the flu season (September to mid-November); giving the vaccine late in the flu season (mid-November to February) was not associated with significantly reduced risk.The research benefits from using data coded within the General Practice Research Database for England and Wales for almost 50,000 people with...

Overweight teen boys have increased risk of stroke in later life
Conclusion The findings of this large longitudinal cohort study seem to demonstrate a link between being overweight aged 20 and an increased risk of stroke. This risk was regardless of whether the boy had been overweight aged 8 or not. There seemed to be no increased risk for boys who were overweight aged 8 but were a normal weight by the age of 20. The study was conducted before the obesity epidemic, and might be even more relevant today. But there are a number of considerations to take into account before we draw any conclusions: Participants were followed up until they were 52-68, so all the strokes occurred at a r...

Pregnancy-Associated Stroke and Outcomes Related to Timing and Hypertensive Disorders
CONCLUSION: A nationally representative sample of hospitalizations in the United States indicates an increasing trend in the rate of postpartum stroke. Almost half of hospitalizations with pregnancy-associated stroke have concomitant hypertensive disorders. Risk of adverse outcomes, but not mortality, is elevated in patients with stroke occurring in the postpartum period and stroke associated with hypertensive disorders.PMID:37411017 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005249
