The resolution of carotid arterial thrombus by oral anticoagulation after IV thrombolysis for chemotherapy-induced stroke: A case report
Rationale: Cancer-related stroke has been regarded as an emerging subtype of ischemic event. Acute treatment for this subtype may include the antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, or endovascular intervention. Patient concerns: A 63-year-old woman with sudden-onset right hemiparesis and conscious change was sent to our emergency department. The patient had underlying sigmoid adenocarcinoma and received chemotherapy FOLFIRI (FOL, folinic acid; F, fluorouracil; and IRI, irinotecan) with targeted therapy cetuximab following lower anterior resection since the diagnosis was made. Diagnoses: Brain magnetic resonance angio...

Embolic Stroke Due to a Mural Thrombus in the Ascending Aorta Following Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy.
Authors: Ochiai Y, Tsunogae M, Ueda M Abstract A 59-year-old woman with small-cell lung carcinoma achieved tumor disappearance after cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBC) and radiation treatment but subsequently experienced right hemiparesis and aphasia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left middle cerebral artery territory acute infarction and left internal carotid artery occlusion. Ultrasonography revealed a mobile thrombus in the left common and internal carotid arteries, and contrast computed tomography revealed a mural thrombus in the ascending aorta. Based on these findings, embolic stroke due to aort...

Acute ischaemic stroke and myocardial infarction after chemotherapy with vinorelbine for non-small cell lung cancer: a case report.
We report about a 70-year-old male with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who received vinorelbine as an outpatient. The patient presents with a cardiovascular risk profile. He was admitted to the hospital 3 days later with acute left-sided hemiplegia and hemianopia. Brain computed tomography (CT) demonstrated acute right hemispheric ischaemic stroke. Nine days after admission, the patient additionally suffered ST elevation myocardial infarction. A coronary angiogram demonstrated high grade stenosis of the right coronary artery treated with two bare-metal stents. Caution should be noted in patients who present with a c...

Ntox-11. recurrent episodes of stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (smart) syndrome in adults
We report two cases of multiply-recurrent SMART syndrome, one autopsy-documented. Case 1 is a 46 year old woman with an atypical meningioma treated with resection and radiation who presented sixteen months after completion of radiation with sudden onset hemiparesis and dysarthria. Brain MRI showed the typical gyriform enhancement seen in SMART syndrome. No other attributable disorders were found on extensive workup, and both symptoms and radiographic abnormalities resolved over several weeks without further therapies. Six months later she again presented with identical symptoms and MRI findings. Incomplete resolution ...

Effects of Slow-Stroke Back Massage on Symptom Cluster in Adult Patients With Acute Leukemia: Supportive Care in Cancer Nursing
Conclusions: Slow-stroke back massage, as a simple, noninvasive, and cost-effective approach, along with routine nursing care, can be used to improve the symptom cluster of pain, fatigue, and sleep disorders in leukemia patients. Implications for Practice: Oncology nurses can increase their knowledge regarding this symptom cluster and work to diminish the cluster components by using SSBM in adult leukemia patients.

Cancer, atrial fibrillation, and stroke
Cancer patients appear to be at increased risk for atrial fibrillation. Although surgery and chemotherapy exacerbate this risk, this association is observed even in the absence of any cancer-specific treatment. The underlying mechanism of this is likely multifactorial, but systemic inflammation and autonomic dysregulation are hypothesized to play critical roles. Cancer and atrial fibrillation are both independent risk factors for ischemic stroke; however, it is not clear whether this translates to an increased risk of stroke in patients with both comorbidities.

A woman with recurrent vomiting and body cramps
Clinical introduction A 68-year-old woman with pancreatic cancer undergoing chemotherapy presented to the emergency department with a week of vomiting and body cramps. Vital signs were: BP 130/70 mm Hg; HR 80 bpm; RR 14 bpm and oxygen saturation 100% while breathing ambient air. Laboratory investigations showed normal calcium, magnesium and albumin levels; hypokalaemia level at 2.3 mmol/L (normal range 3.5–5.0 mmol/L) and bicarbonate level at 42 mmol/L (normal range 22–29 mmol/L). While the nurse was taking vital signs, the patient complained of a right hand cramp (figure...

Associations between hematopoietic growth factors and risks of venous thromboembolism, stroke, ischemic heart disease and myelodysplastic syndrome: findings from a large population-based cohort of women with breast cancer
Conclusions Receipts of CSFs and ESAs were significantly associated with an increased risk of VTE in women with breast cancer. Use of ESAs was significantly associated with substantially increased risks of MDS. These findings support those of previous studies.

Preoperative treatment with {beta}-blockers is associated with elevated postoperative mortality and cardiac morbidity in patients with uncomplicated hypertension undergoing non-cardiac surgery
Commentary on: Jørgensen ME, Hlatky MA, Køber L, et al.. β-Blocker-associated risks in patients with uncomplicated hypertension undergoing noncardiac surgery. JAMA Intern Med 2015;175:1923–31. Context The role of β-blockers in preventing cardiovascular complications of non-cardiac surgery is controversial. Early enthusiasm was dampened by accumulating trial data and concerns about the scientific validity of several trials. When studies with uncertain validity are excluded, meta-analyses of randomised trials show that perioperative β-blockers (started within 1 day before surgery) prev...

Stroke like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome a case series of three patients (P6.179)
Conclusions:Our patients represent the first case series of SMART syndrome in a single institution. Our cases share similarities to the prior reports in the literature and highlights the clinical and MRI triad of acute onset headaches, neurological deficits and MRI findings of transient contrast enhancement of the cortex with white matter sparing in a previous radiation field.Disclosure: Dr. rauf has nothing to disclose.

Concomitant AngioVac thrombectomy and patent foramen ovale closure in a patient with a large right atrial thrombus and recent paradoxical embolic stroke.
Abstract A 59-year-old male with a history of gallbladder adenocarcinoma receiving chemotherapy and on therapeutic anticoagulation for portal vein thrombosis presented to the emergency department via ambulance after being found unresponsive and in cardiac arrest. Initial workup upon return of spontaneous circulation revealed a large right atrial mass, patent foramen ovale (PFO), and bilateral acute cortical infarctions. This constellation of findings were concerning for PFO-related paradoxical embolic strokes. Given the risk of recurrent paradoxical embolic events and the absolute contraindication to thrombolysis ...

Ischemic Stroke Risk Among Adult Brain Tumor Survivors: Evidence to Guide Practice
CONCLUSION: Nurses play a key role in the assessment, prevention, and identifying individuals who are at risk of AIS during brain tumor survivorship. Engaging patients and their caregivers on minimizing their risks of AIS is crucial in the outpatient setting. Annual surveillance visits that include intracranial artery imaging should be used to identify individuals considered most at risk for developing AIS symptoms.
