Endovascular recanalization therapy in the patients with acute ischemic stroke and active malignancy
【Background】Patients with cancer who have acute ischemic stroke are often precluded from intravenous tPA due to high risk of bleeding. In this case, endovascular recanalization therapy may be an alternative treatment option.

Identifying ischemic stroke associated with cancer: a multiple model derived from a case –control analysis
AbstractIschemic stroke in patients with cancer is thought to be associated with a worse prognosis and might be the initial symptom of an unknown malignancy. However, diagnostic algorithms to reliably identify cancer-associated stroke have not been developed. In this retrospective single-centre analysis, 68 patients with ischemic stroke and an active solid malignancy were identified. Neurological assessment and outcome, cardiovascular risk factors, neuroimaging studies as well as laboratory findings were compared to 68 age- and sex-matched control subjects with ischemic stroke without diagnosis of cancer. Lung, pancreatic ...

Letter re: Excess mortality and hospitalized morbidity in newly treated epilepsy patients
I read with interest the article by Chen et al.1 on the burden of mortality and hospitalized morbidity in newly treated patients with epilepsy in Hong Kong. The authors documented a very high rate of physical and psychiatric comorbidities in the cohort of patients with epilepsy, especially those on enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs). While psychiatric comorbidities in patients with epilepsy have been well-documented and are thought to have a bidirectional relationship, the physical comorbidities (increased cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease [CVD] risk) are less well-reported and, if substantiated in other...

Venous Thrombotic Recurrence After Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—In our cohort of CVT patients followed on average for>6 years, subjects with a previous venous thrombotic event, cancer/malignant hemopathies, and unknown CVT causes were found to be at higher risk of recurrence.

Three-Month Outcomes Are Poor in Stroke Patients with Cancer Despite Acute Stroke Treatment
Stroke risk is increased in cancer patients. Prognosis in these patients is poor, with higher in-hospital mortality and increased subsequent mortality. However, data on stroke in cancer patients are limited, specifically regarding acute stroke treatment and functional outcomes. We aim to determine the functional outcomes of cancer patients admitted with acute stroke.

Intracerebral Hemorrhage Outcomes in Patients with Systemic Cancer
Single-center studies suggest that patients with cancer have similar outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) compared to patients without cancer. However, these studies were limited by small sample sizes and high rates of intratumoral hemorrhage. Our hypothesis was that systemic cancer patients without brain involvement fare worse after ICH than patients without cancer.

Excess mortality and hospitalized morbidity in newly treated epilepsy patients
Conclusions: Newly treated epilepsy patients bear excess mortality and hospitalization risks. They have higher risk of developing stroke, ischemic heart disease, and cancer. Treatment with EIAEDs was associated with increased overall morbidity.

Differentiation of cancer from atrial fibrillation in patients with acute multifocal stroke
Objective.Acute multifocal embolic infarction (AMEI) is conventionally caused by etiologies such as cardioembolism due to atrial fibrillation (Af), but can also be caused by serious underlying diseases such as cancer. We characterized cancer-related AMEI and identified useful indicators for cancer-associated strokes.

Copy number variations and stroke
Abstract Stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide after heart disease and all forms of cancers. Monogenic disorders, genetic, and environmental risk factors contribute to damaging cerebral blood vessels and, consequently, cause stroke. Developments in genomic research led to the discovery of numerous copy number variants (CNVs) that have been recently identified as a new tool for understanding the genetic basis of many diseases. This review discusses the current understanding of the types of stroke, the existing knowledge on the involvement of specific CNVs in stroke as well as the limitations of the m...

Orosomucoid, Carotid Plaque, and Incidence of Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Elevated levels of orosomucoid are associated with increased occurrence of carotid plaque and increased incidence of ischemic stroke. The combination of high orosomucoid and carotid plaque substantially increase the risk of stroke.

Warfarin-Resistant Deep Vein Thrombosis during the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Lung Adenocarcinoma
A 66-year-old man with acute ischemic stroke in the setting of lung adenocarcinoma developed acute-onset deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs after changing to warfarin from a heparin combination. The diagnosis of warfarin-resistant DVT was established based on the laboratory data and clinical evaluation. Heparin administration resulted in good control of thrombin regulation. Cancer patients are at high risk of venous thromboembolism, and the combination of these 2 conditions is known as Trousseau's syndrome.
