Effect of INR on Outcomes of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Vertebrobasilar Artery Occlusion
This study aimed to analyze the effects of international normalized ratio (INR) indicators on outcomes in patients with acute VBAO treated with EVT. Dynamic data on INR in patients with VBAO who received endovascular treatment (EVT) at 65 stroke centers in China were retrospectively enrolled. Outcome measures included the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days and 1 year and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). The associations between elevated INR (INR > 1.1), INR variability (time-weighted variance of INR changes), and various clinical outcomes were analyzed in all patients and subgroups stratifie...

Association of Dental Infections with Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis
Introduction: Periodontal disease (PD) and dental caries are oral infections leading to tooth loss that are associated with atherosclerosis and cerebrovascular disease. We assessed the hypothesis that PD and caries are associated with asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.
Methods: Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements (7-indices) collected at 6 sites per tooth from 6155 subjects from the Dental Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (DARIC) without prior stroke were used to differentiate seven periodontal disease stages (PPC-I to VII) and dental...

Analyzing and predicting the risk of death in stroke patients using machine learning
ConclusionWe used several highly interpretive machine learning models to predict stroke prognosis with the highest accuracy to date and to identify heterogeneous treatment effects of warfarin and human albumin in stroke patients. Our interpretation of the model yielded a number of findings that are consistent with clinical knowledge and warrant further study and verification.

Long-term stroke and major bleeding risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: A comparative analysis between non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants and warfarin using a clinical data warehouse
ConclusionsIn this CDW based study, NOACs are more effective and safer than warfarin in patients with AF even with long-term follow-up. NOACs should be used to prevent ischemic stroke in patients with AF

Case report: MELAS and concomitant presumed antiphospholipid antibody syndrome in an adult woman
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, and other features (short stature, headaches, seizures, and sensorineural hearing loss) constitute characteristics of MELAS syndrome. MELAS is a rare condition due to mutations in maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA with levels of heteroplasmy possibly related to late adulthood presentation. A previously reported MELAS case coexisted with presumed Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APLAS), but the connection between MELAS and a potential APLAS is unclear. A 29-year-old woman presented with mild right-sided sensorimotor symptoms and mixed aphasia in...

Comparison of primary and secondary stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Results from the RAFFINE registry
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a predictor of severe stroke and early death in acute ischemic stroke patients.1 The prevalence of AF has increased as the Japanese population has aged.2 AF has been more common among patients with ischemic stroke than previously reported.3 In particular, AF patients with a history of stroke or TIA have had higher risks for stroke, hemorrhagic events, and death compared to those without.4,5 In these previous studies, most patients received warfarin for anticoagulation therapy.

Stroke services in the Middle East and adjacent region: A survey of 34 hospital-based stroke services
ConclusionThis is the first large study on the availability of resources for the management of acute stroke in the MENA+ region. We noted the disparity in stroke care between high-income and low-income countries. Concerted efforts are required to improve stroke care in low-income countries. Accreditation of stroke programs in the region will be helpful.

Antiplatelets and Anticoagulants in Ischemic Stroke,Transient Ischaemic Attack: A Practice Survey Among Singapore Neurologists
CONCLUSIONS: The widespread use of aspirin for long-term secondary prevention is similar to other countries. The variation in the use of antithrombotic agents in other settings may reflect the lack of sufficient evidence to guide therapy in the various specific stroke patient management scenarios.KEY WORDS: neurologist, practice, antiplatelet, anticoagulant, stroke, cerebrovascular disease.PMID:35470408
