Depression in the Context of Medical Disorders: New Pharmacological Pathways Revisited
In conclusion a hypothetic model for the implication of actual findings in everyday clinical practice is proposed. In this context personalized treatment could be used to tailor treatment to specific individuals according to their clinical endophenotypes. Moreover a potential target for the development of novel intervention strategies might be used.Neurosignals 2017;25:54 –73

Risk factors, vascular lesion distribution, outcome and recurrence of strokes due to intracranial atherosclerosis: One year data from Hyderabad stroke registry
Conclusion: Risk factors, distribution of vascular lesions and high recurrence of stroke due to ICAS in this study is similar to that reported from other Asian countries. Aggressive medical management and risk factor control remains the best strategy for preventing recurrence.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Early Versus Delayed Statin Therapy in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Our randomized trial involving patients with acute ischemic stroke and dyslipidemia did not show any superiority of early statin therapy within 24 hours of admission compared with delayed statin therapy 7 days after admission to alleviate the degree of disability at 90 days after onset.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02549846.

The fate of asymptomatic severe carotid stenosis in the era of best medical therapy.
CONCLUSION: The most recent series of ACAS ≥70% and BMT had an overall stroke rate which is relatively low; however, the risk of developing symptoms is still relevant (3.4%/year). PMID: 28816542 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Treating Dyslipidemia for the Primary and Secondary Prevention of Stroke
Semin Neurol 2017; 37: 286-293 DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1603511Stroke is associated with a heavy burden of mortality and disability, underscoring the importance of effective primary and secondary prevention measures. Dyslipidemia as a risk factor for ischemic stroke has long been disputed. Nevertheless, accumulating epidemiological evidence supports a role of lipid abnormalities in increasing ischemic stroke risk and representing a potential target for therapeutic interventions. 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl- (HMG-) CoA reductase inhibitors (i.e., statins) are currently the mainstay of therapy for the management of hypercholester...

Use of Statins and Outcomes in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Although statin use, especially continued/new use, was associated with improved intracerebral hemorrhage outcomes, this effect may merely reflect the physician’s view of a patient’s prognosis rather than a predictor of survival.

Challenges in the Medical Management of Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis in an Urban Setting Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—Since the SAMMPRIS trial (Stenting and Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Stenosis), aggressive medical management (AMM), which includes dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and high-dose statin (HDS) therapy, is recommended for patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease. However, limited data on the real-world application of this regimen exist. We hypothesized that recurrent stroke risk among patients treated with AMM is similar to the medical arm of the SAMMPRIS cohort.Methods—Using a prospective registry, we identified all patients adm...
