Carotid Body Tumor as a Cause of Stroke.
Authors: Budincevic H, Piršic A, Bohm T, Trajbar T, Ivkošic A, Pavlovic T, Bielen I, Soldo-Butkovic S
Abstract
We herein report a case of a 78-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital due to a stroke with left-sided hemiparesis. Ultrasound of the carotid arteries showed a carotid body tumor on the bifurcation of the right common carotid artery, which was subsequently confirmed by a further neuroradiological investigation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head confirmed an acute ischemic lesion located in the right periventricular region. The carotid body tumor (CBT) was surgically removed and confirmed on...

Correlation between the Occlusion Site and Clinical Outcome after Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Conclusion Early mild clinical recovery did not predict a good outcome. The occlusion site was a stronger predictor of clinical improvement after IVtPA administration.

A Sporadic Case of Fabry Disease Involving Repeated Fever, Psychiatric Symptoms, Headache, and Ischemic Stroke in an Adult Japanese Woman.
We describe the case of a Japanese woman with Fabry disease who presented with ischemic stroke, aseptic meningitis, and psychiatric symptoms. The patient had a mutation in intron 4 of her α-galactosidase A gene, which was not detected in her family. This case suggests that Fabry disease should be considered in young patients who exhibit central nervous system symptoms such as ischemic stroke, even if there is no family history of the condition. The episodes of aseptic meningitis and stroke experienced by our patient suggest that persistent inflammation might be the mechanism underlying Fabry disease.

Cerebral Venous Thromboembolism in Antiphospholipid Syndrome Successfully Treated with the Combined Use of an Anti-Xa Inhibitor and Corticosteroid.
Authors: Sugie M, Iizuka N, Shimizu Y, Ichikawa H
Abstract
We herein report a case presenting with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) associated with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The patient developed recurrent CVST followed by a hemorrhagic ischemic stroke despite the use of warfarin during the appropriate therapeutic window. Thus, we substituted warfarin to rivaroxaban with prednisolone and obtained a good clinical course. In addition to the effect of prednisolone of inhibiting elevated lupus anticoagulants and the recurrence of arterial thrombosis, rivaroxaban may prevent CVST and inhibit hyperc...

The Infarct Shape Predicts Progressive Motor Deficits in Patients with Acute Lacunae-sized Infarctions in the Perforating Arterial Territory.
Conclusion Satellite lesions are one of the features of lacunae-sized infarctions patterns, which might be an independent predictor in DWI findings for PMD in patients with lacunae-sized infarctions in the perforating arterial territory.

Clinical Features of Ischemic Stroke during Treatment with Dabigatran: An Association between Decreased Severity and a Favorable Prognosis.

Blood Pressure Management in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Authors: Eguchi K
Abstract
In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the coexistence of hypertension enhances the cardiovascular risk, and the prevention of future cardiovascular disease is an important component of T2DM management. Antihypertensive therapy has been shown to be an effective method of reducing the micro- and macrovascular complications of T2DM, however, the optimal target blood pressure (BP) levels are still under debate. Most of the international guidelines have raised the target clinic BP from 130/80 to 140/90 mmHg, however, the Japanese Society of Hypertension 2014 guidelines kept the target BP le...

Feasibility and safety of uninterrupted dabigatran therapy in patients undergoing ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Conclusion Uninterrupted dabigatran therapy in CA for AF thus may be a safe and effective anticoagulant therapy, and appears to be closely similar to continuous warfarin; however, it is essential to pay close attention to the APTT values when using dabigatran during CA.
