National registry‐based case–control study: comorbidity and stroke in young adults
ConclusionsIn addition to vascular risk factors, comorbidity (represented by ICD‐10 chapters) was associated with increased risk of stroke in young individuals. The risk of stroke was further increased with the number of diagnosed ICD‐10 chapters.

Acute ischemic stroke and abnormal blood hemoglobin concentration
ConclusionsOur results suggest that an elevated HGB on the initial admission is associated with more severe strokes, greater disability at discharge, and higher 30‐day mortality after AIS. A low HGB on admission is associated with longer stay in the acute care hospital.

Acute Ischemic Stroke in Pregnancy
Stroke is an uncommon but serious potential complication of pregnancy. The management of acute ischemic stroke in pregnant women remains a complex challenge that extends beyond the limits of clinical trial evidence. Patient 1 was a 29-year-old woman 27 weeks into her first pregnancy, without remarkable past medical history or vascular risk factors. She was admitted 1 h after sudden onset of a left total anterior circulation syndrome (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score of 23). CT and angio-CT scans were normal. Thrombolysis was performed, with mild clinical improvement. Brain MRI showed multi-territoria...

Acute Management of Ischemic Stroke During Pregnancy.
Abstract Acute stroke in pregnancy can be devastating. Although neurologists will at some point be involved in the management, most of these patients are likely to first be evaluated by an obstetric care provider. It is, therefore, important for obstetric care providers to have an understanding of the presentation and management of stroke, particularly in the initial period when the window of opportunity for therapy is critical. Once suspected, a head computed tomography (CT) without contrast media should be performed without delay to rule out a hemorrhagic component. Patients presenting within 4.5 hours of sympto...

Neonatal Forearm Compartment Syndrome: Look for Cerebral Stroke
A male term newborn presented with a neonatal forearm compartment syndrome together with an ipsilateral cerebral stroke. Pregnancy and delivery were uneventful, except for oligohydramnios. His mother had celiac disease and hypothyroidism. Since birth, he showed a 4-cm bullous-ulcerated lesion on the left volar forearm and elbow fold (, A), with normal pulses, and an ipsilateral upper limb paresis with reduced motility, dropped wrist, no fingers extension, and grasping. Tendon reflexes were normal with Babinski sign bilaterally evident. Radiography showed a mild carpus asymmetry (left left). He had a residual scar on the fo...

9 Healthy Reasons To Indulge Your Coffee Cravings
There's no need to feel guilty about your morning cup o’ joe. On the contrary: People who drink four or more cups of coffee a day have up to a 20 percent lower risk of melanoma than those who sip the dark stuff less often, according to a 2015 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. But this study is hardly the first one touting good news for java junkies. "Coffee is incredibly rich in antioxidants, which are responsible for many of its health benefits," says Joy Bauer, RD, nutrition and health expert for Everyday Health and The Today Show. And studies show that its caffeine content may also play a prot...

A new life for Lynkin after encephalocele surgery
When you meet Lynkin Bell, the first things you notice are her big personality and chubby cheeks. You might also see how she adores her brother Lukis and hamming it up for the camera. But you’d never guess that this playful 14-month-old from Texas wasn’t expected to survive, never mind talk, stand or play peekaboo like a pro. And yet, thanks to her parents’ faith and persistence — and surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital — Lynkin can do all those things, and lots more, with the gusto befitting any toddler her age. “It’s a miracle,” says Kaylen Gaston, Lynkin’s mom. “We were told so many times she wou...

Maternal cardiac function, uterine artery hemodynamics and natriuretic peptides at 22 ‐24 weeks of gestation and subsequent development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
ConclusionsProANP correlated with cardiac output and cardiac work, Nt ‐proBNP with indices of cardiac contractility, and CNP with UtA blood flow and resistance. None of these natriuretic peptides measured at 22‐24 weeks gestation reflected cardiac preload reserve or predicted development of HDP.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

The lncRNA MALAT1 rs619586 G Variant Confers Decreased Susceptibility to Recurrent Miscarriage
In conclusion, our study suggests that the rs619586 G variant may have potential protective effects conferring a decreased risk of recurrent miscarriage in the southern Chinese population. Introduction Recurrent miscarriage is defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation (Jaslow et al., 2010; Diejomaoh, 2015). The occurrence of recurrent miscarriage is associated with many factors, including genetic factors, immunological dysfunction, endocrine disorders, unhealthy lifestyles and defects of the reproductive organs (Saravelos and Regan, 2014; Sen et al., 2014; Garrido-Gimen...
