Neurologic Manifestations of the Antiphospholipid Syndrome - an Update
Curr Neurol Neurosci Rep. 2021 Jun 14;21(8):41. doi: 10.1007/s11910-021-01124-z.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: In recent years, the spectrum of neurological manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has been growing. We provide a critical review of the literature with special emphasis on presentation, proposed mechanisms of disease, and treatment of neurological involvement in APS.RECENT FINDINGS: Although stroke is the most common cause of neurological manifestations in patients with APS, other neurological disorders have been increasingly associated with the disease, including cognitive dysfunction, headache, and epi...

Clinical Outcome in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage Stratified by Type of Antithrombotic Therapy
Conclusions: Patients with antithrombotic therapy have worse clinical outcome after ICH. Patients using VKA have higher risk of poor outcome and mortality compared to patients using AP. These findings highlight the deleterious effect of antithrombotic therapy in patients with ICH and stress the need for effective therapies for ICH patients.

Stroke Prevention: Little-Known and Neglected Aspects
Combining available therapies has the potential to reduce the risk of stroke by 80% or more. A comprehensive review of all aspects of stroke prevention would be very lengthy; in this narrative review, we focus on some aspects of stroke prevention that are little-known and/or neglected. These include the following: (1) implementation of a Mediterranean diet; (2) B vitamins to lower homocysteine; (3) coordinated approaches to smoking cessation; (4) intensive lipid-lowering therapy; (5) lipid lowering in the elderly; (6) physiologically individualized therapy for hypertension based on renin/aldosterone phenotyping; (7) avoidi...

Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants for the Treatment of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: a Retrospective, Matched Cohort Analysis
ConclusionsThe safety and efficacy results of NOAC use for CVT were similar to those for age-matched and sex-matched controls treated with VKAs, as well as historical published controls. Assessment of NOAC efficacy and safety in CVT in multicenter cohort studies and randomized controlled trials is warranted.

Effects of vitamin E on neurodegenerative diseases: an update
Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars). 2021;81(1):21-33. doi: 10.21307/ane-2021-003.ABSTRACTVitamin E deficiency is associated with many neurological problems. Although the mechanisms of vitamin E action in neurodegenerative diseases are not clear, there are many possible mechanisms. Examples of such mechanisms are the protective effects of vitamin E against oxidative stress damage and its suppressive role in the expression of many genes involved in the development of neurodegeneration. Many studies have evaluated the relationship between vitamin E intake or vitamin E levels in body fluids and neurodegenerative diseases. Some studies ...
