In-Hospital Stroke Recurrence and Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack: Frequency and Risk Factors Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In-hospital stroke recurrence was low with optimal current management. Patients with a history of TIA, severe symptomatic carotid stenosis, or uncommon causes of stroke were at higher risk. Pneumonia was associated with a higher risk of stroke recurrence in patients with initial TIA or minor stroke but not in the overall population studied. Aphasia may bias the detection rate by concealing new neurological symptoms.

Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke With Tandem Occlusions From Dissection Versus Atherosclerotic Cause Brief Report
Conclusions—We found no differences in the outcomes of patients with anterior circulation tandem atherosclerotic and dissection lesions treated with endovascular thrombectomy. Further studies are warranted.

Potential new uses of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants to treat and prevent stroke
Conclusion: There may be a role for NOACs in stroke prevention and treatment beyond atrial fibrillation. Randomized controlled trials are needed to compare NOACs to current stroke prevention and treatment strategies in certain subgroups of patients with cerebrovascular disease.

Stroke in young adults: Five new things
Purpose of review The incidence of stroke in young adults is increasing, mainly driven by an increasing incidence of ischemic stroke in this population. We provide new information that has been recently presented regarding the risk factor prevalence, some specific etiologic causes, and management strategies in ischemic stroke in this population. Recent findings Recent studies indicate a rapid increase in traditional risk factors in young adults. New information regarding the management of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke and cervical artery dissection is available. Summary Stroke in young adults is a rapidly gr...

Balance of Symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism and Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage with Low-dose Anticoagulation in Recent Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusions: Prophylactic/low-dose heparin increased sICH by more than they reduced sPE in patients with recent ischemic stroke. Therefore, their routine acute use cannot be recommended, but they may still be relevant in patients at very high risk of PE (eg, morbid obesity, previous venous thromboembolism, and inherited thrombophilia) or if started later, although trials have not assessed these issues.

Cervical Arterial Dissections and Association With Cervical Manipulative Therapy: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Scientific Statement
Conclusions— CD is an important cause of ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged patients. CD is most prevalent in the upper cervical spine and can involve the internal carotid artery or vertebral artery. Although current biomechanical evidence is insufficient to establish the claim that CMT causes CD, clinical reports suggest that mechanical forces play a role in a considerable number of CDs and most population controlled studies have found an association between CMT and VAD stroke in young patients. Although the incidence of CMT-associated CD in patients who have previously received CMT is not well established, an...

Risk of Carotid Stroke after Chiropractic Care: A Population-Based Case-Crossover Study
Chiropractic manipulation is a popular treatment for neck pain and headache, but may increase the risk of cervical artery dissection and stroke. Patients with carotid artery dissection can present with neck pain and/or headache before experiencing a stroke. These are common symptoms seen by both chiropractors and primary care physicians (PCPs). We aimed to assess the risk of carotid artery stroke after chiropractic care by comparing association between chiropractic and PCP visits and subsequent stroke.

Incidence and outcome of cerebrovascular events related to cervical artery dissection: the Dijon Stroke Registry
ConclusionThe incidence of cerebrovascular events related to vertebral artery dissection is greater than previously reported, which may indicate a better identification of patients due to improvements in diagnostic procedures.

Post-IV thrombolytic headache and hemorrhagic transformation risk in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion: tPA-associated headache does not predict increased risk of HT and has no other prognostic importance in patients with AIS. Prospective studies with a larger cohort may be needed to further explore this relationship.

Cervical Artery Dissections with and without stroke, risk factors and prognosis: a Chilean prospective cohort
We aimed to characterize spontaneous cervical artery dissection (CeAD) patients with and without stroke and describe risk factors for cerebrovascular complications in a Chilean prospective cohort.Methods: Consecutive CeAD patients admitted to a Chilean center confirmed by neuroimaging. Logistic regression was used.Results: 168 patients were included, median follow-up time was 157 days. Stroke occurred in 49 (29.2%) cases, 4 (2%) patients died, all of whom had a stroke, and 10 (6%) presented CeAD recurrence.

Posterior circulation ischemic stroke with aberrant vertebral artery cervical entrance at the C4 vertebral level
We describe 2 cases of recurrent ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation associated with an abnormal vertebral artery (VA) entrance into the transverse foramen. Neither patient had evidence of atherosclerotic disease, but both had arterial wall defects nearby the VA entrance at the C4 level suggestive of local arterial dissection.

Stroke prevention by endovascular treatment of carotid and vertebral artery dissections
Conclusions Patients with CAD and VAD differ significantly in presentation, indications for treatment, and treatment methods. Endovascular treatment of CAD and VAD has low procedural morbidity and is associated with a low incidence of future stroke.
