Diagnostic yield of echocardiography in cancer patients with ischemic stroke
Abstract The yield of echocardiography in cancer patients with acute ischemic stroke is unknown. We identified adult patients with active systemic cancer diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke at a tertiary-care cancer center from 2005 through 2009 who underwent transthoracic (TTE) or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Two neurologists independently reviewed all clinical data, including TTE and TEE reports, and adjudicated whether echocardiographic studies revealed a definite or possible source of stroke according to pre-defined criteria. Patients were classified as having suspected cardioembolic strokes if ima...

Comparison of Enoxaparin and Warfarin for Secondary Prevention of Cancer-Associated Stroke.
Conclusion. In cancer-associated stroke patients, treatment with enoxaparin may be more effective than treatment with warfarin for lowering the D-dimer levels. Future prospective studies are warranted to show that enoxaparin is better than warfarin for secondary prevention in cancer-associated stroke. PMID: 26064116 [PubMed]

Potential specific immunological indicators for stroke associated infection are partly modulated by sympathetic pathway activation.
CONCLUSION: IL-6, IL-10 and HLA-DR are good candidate biomarkers for SAI. The activation of the sympathetic pathway could partly account for the specific immunological alterations found in SAI patients including HLA-DR decrease and IL-10 increase, which both could be reversed by propranolol. However, the mechanism underlying IL-6 increase still needs further exploration. PMID: 27409177 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationship of thyroid function with intracranial arterial stenosis and carotid atheromatous plaques in ischemic stroke patients with euthyroidism.
In conclusion, low free thyroxine levels were independently associated with carotid atheromatous plaques in ischemic stroke patients with euthyroidism, but thyroid function indicators were not associated with intracranial artery stenosis. PMID: 28147329 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effect of the asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease syndrome on the stroke, Parkinson's disease, and dementia: a national cohort study.
Conclusions: The ACOS cohort had a higher risk of the neurodegenerative diseases. The lower dose of the inhaler corticosteroids with cumulative dose ≧0.13 gram have the less risk of stroke and dementia. PMID: 29552322 [PubMed]

The secondary prevention of stroke according to cytochrome P450 2C19 genotype in patients with acute large-artery atherosclerosis stroke.
Conclusions: Among IS patients treated with clopidogrel, carriers of a reduced-function CYP2C19 allele had a significantly higher rate of adverse vascular events than did noncarriers. It should avoid prescribing clopidogrel to these patients with known CYP2C19 polymorphisms. PMID: 29707143 [PubMed]

Stroke of luck: Scientists discover target for stroke therapy in blood-brain barrier
(Tokyo University of Science) The blood-brain barrier prevents immune cells from circulating freely in the brain, and the breakdown of its function is a major cause of post-stroke inflammation. Now, for the first time, researchers have identified how a toxic stroke byproduct, acrolein, could activate the barrier-degrading enzyme proheparanase (proHPSE). The research group has discovered that proHPSE degrades the glycocalyx within the post-stroke brain's blood vessels, providing hope for new and effective therapeutics against post-stroke inflammation.

Diagnosis and Management of Stroke in Adults with Primary Brain Tumor
This article reviews the risk factors, clinical presentations, differential diagnosis, and the types of strokes frequently seen in patients with primary brain neoplasms. This includes a discussion of approaches with a review of the available literature and provides recommendations for primary and secondary prevention specific to this patient population.Recent FindingsStrokes in patients with brain tumors are often multifactorial. However, tailored approaches to stroke care are necessary to achieve optimal patient outcomes, AHA/ASA stroke guidelines provide little information on the management of stroke in cancer patients. ...

Computed Tomography Angiography Quantification of Intracranial and Extracranial Vascular Narrowing in Ischemic Stroke: Differences Between Patients With and Without Illicit Drug Use
CONCLUSIONS: By using computed tomography angiography, we found that stroke patients with history of cocaine consumption had a higher incidence of intracranial circulation narrowing compared with matched controls.PMID:36055121 | DOI:10.1097/RCT.0000000000001367

Community health volunteer for blood pressure control in rural people with stroke in India: Pilot randomised trial
CONCLUSION: Task sharing with ASHA a community health volunteer can improve BP control in rural people with stroke and hypertension. They can also help in the adoption of healthy behaviour.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ctri.nic.in, CTRI/2018/09/015709.PMID:37003249 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107107

Effect modification of age and hypertension on cancer and prevalence of self ‐reported stroke – A cross‐sectional study
The objective of this study was to examine the effect modification of age on the relationship between cancer and prevalence of self-reported stroke. We used cross-sectional data from the 2015 –2016 iteration of the Canadian Community Health Survey. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the association between cancer and self-reported stroke. Covariates were assessed for effect modification using the maximum likelihood estimation method. We analyzed 86,809 subject s; the prevalence of self-reported stroke was 1.11%. The odds ratio for the association between cancer and self-reported stroke was 1.26 ...
