Pulmonary Embolism in Ischemic Stroke: Clinical Presentation, Risk Factors, and Outcome Stroke
Conclusions In this large cohort study, PE occurred in nearly 1% of AIS patients. PE was more common in patients with severe stroke, history of cancer, previous DVT/PE or acute DVT and associated with lower short- and long-term survival, greater disability, and longer length of stay.

Importance of Considering Competing Risks in Time-to-Event Analyses: Application to Stroke Risk in a Retrospective Cohort Study of Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Original Articles
Conclusions: The incidence of death without stroke was 9-fold higher than that of stroke, leading to biased estimates of stroke risk with traditional time-to-event methods. Statistical methods that appropriately account for competing risks should be used to mitigate this bias.

Total and specific fruit and vegetable consumption and risk of stroke: A prospective study
Conclusion: This study shows an inverse association of fruit and vegetable consumption with stroke risk. Particularly consumption of apples and pears and green leafy vegetables was inversely associated with stroke.Highlights: ► Fruit and vegetables is a heterogeneous food group with different content of nutrients. ► It remains unclear which fruit and vegetable subgroups that are most protective against stroke. ► We examined the relation between fruit and vegetable consumption and stroke risk. ► Particularly consumption of apples/pears and green leafy vegetables was inversely associated with stroke.

Predictors of Survival in Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Active Cancer: A Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study
Conclusions The prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke and active cancer varied considerably depending on stroke mechanism, distant metastasis, and coagulation abnormalities. The present study confirmed that coagulation abnormalities were crucial in determining the prognosis of such patients.PMID:37489755 | DOI:10.1161/JAHA.123.029618

Traditional and Genetic Risk Score and Stroke Risk Prediction in Korea.
CONCLUSIONS: TRS and GRS were both independently associated with stroke risk. Using genetic variants in addition to traditional risk factors may be the most accurate way of predicting stroke risk, particularly in relatively younger individuals. PMID: 30073812 [PubMed]

Liver enzymes and stroke risk in middle-aged German adults
Conclusions: Our data provide further evidence for a link between GGT, but not ALT and overall stroke suggesting that these biomarkers are involved in different pathways of disease development. Further studies are needed to clarify the putative relationships between ALT and subtypes of stroke.Highlights:

Higher habitual dietary intakes of flavanols and anthocyanins differentially associate with lower incidence of ischemic stroke subtypes-A follow-up analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Higher habitual intakes of flavanols and anthocyanins are differentially associated with lower risk of ischemic stroke from atherosclerosis and/or cardioembolism, but not with other subtypes.PMID:37716608 | DOI:10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.09.011

Endothelial Specific Deletion of Autotaxin Improves Stroke Outcomes
This study suggests that endothelial-specific ATX leads to increased LPA in the brain vasculature following ischemic-reperfusion and ultimately disrupts vascular permeability, resulting in adverse stroke outcomes.PMID:36766854 | DOI:10.3390/cells12030511

Causal Associations Between Serum Bilirubin Levels and Decreased Stroke Risk: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide evidence of significant causal relationship between high levels of bilirubin and decreased stroke risk in Korean population in agreement with observational approaches. This highlights the potential for bilirubin to serve as a therapeutic target for oxidative stress-related diseases such as stroke and suggests that previous findings were not a consequence of unmeasured confounding.

Young obese women could reduce their stroke risk
The global campaign to tackle stroke highlights the role of caregivers in supporting people who have suffered a stroke and aims to correct misinformation about the disease, such as the misconception that stroke only happens later in life.  Risk of stroke increases 3.5 times in young women who are overweight or obese and have metabolic disorders. Women are also twice more likely to die from a stroke than breast cancer each year.  Read more  Topics: Cardiovascular Disease Prevention - Risk Assessment and Management, Peripheral Arterial Diseases, Atherosclerosis

Stroke Treatment and Prevention
Stroke is the leading cause of permanent disability in the United States (US). Each year approximately 795,000 people suffer from a stroke in the US, now being the number five cause of death behind heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, and accidents. In fact 1 in 20 people die from a stroke.1 In 2013 there were 6.5 million stroke deaths worldwide. On a global basis, stroke is the number two cause of death behind ischemic heart disease.2 The vast majority of strokes are ischemic (87%).
