SMART syndrome: Stroke-like migraine attack after radiation therapy
A 57-year-old woman presented with intense headache 13 years after cranioplasty and radiation treatment for occipital osteosarcoma. Examination showed anomia and paraphasic errors, right homonymous hemianopia, and dysmetria of the right arm. MRI during hospitalization demonstrated diffuse pathologic enhancement in the left parieto-occipital lobe (figure, A) and extensive gyral edema (figure, B and C). EEG while she was symptomatic showed left-predominant posterior quadrant slowing without epileptiform abnormalities. She was diagnosed with stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome and treated wit...

Prevention of Stroke in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract The risk of cerebrovascular disease is increased among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and remains an underserved area of medical need. Only a minor proportion of RA patients achieve suitable stroke prevention. Classical cardiovascular risk factors appear to be under-diagnosed and undertreated among patients with RA. Reducing the inflammatory burden is also necessary to lower the cardiovascular risk. An adequate control of disease activity and cerebrovascular risk assessment using national guidelines should be recommended for all patients with RA. For patients with a documented history of cerebrovascu...

Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections for adhesive capsulitis more effective than placebo
Commentary on: Prestgaard T, Wormgoor ME, Haugen S, et al.. Ultrasound-guided intra-articular and rotator interval corticosteroid injections in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: a double-blind, sham-controlled randomized study. Pain 2015;156:1683–91. Context Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder or painful stiff shoulder) is relatively common. It is idiopathic: known associated factors include trauma, diabetes, prolonged immobilisation, age, stroke and autoimmune disease. While self-limited, pain and decreased range of motion can last up to 2–3 years. Therefore, there is practical value in therapeutic in...

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Progressing to Venous Sinus Thrombosis, Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, and Stroke
We describe a young woman with typical IIH who underwent lumbar puncture and was treated with a short course of high-dose corticosteroids followed by acetazolamide. She subsequently developed CVST, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke. Risk factors that may have resulted in CVST are discussed.

Effect of Bronchodilator and Steroid Use on Heart Disease and Stroke Risks in a Bronchiectasis –Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap Cohort: A Propensity Score Matching Study
Conclusions: Compared with patients without bronchiectasis and COPD, BCOS patients with recent SABAs, past ICSs, and past anti-arrhythmia drugs use; a low or medium SABAs ICSs, and OSs dose; and a low SAMAs dose had a higher risk of HDS. LAMAs were not associated with HDS.
