BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Outdoor air pollution represents a potentially modifiable risk factor for stroke. We examined the link between ambient pollution and mortality up to 5 years poststroke, especially for pollutants associated with vehicle exhaust. METHODS Data from the South London Stroke Register, a population-based register covering an urban, multiethnic population, were used. Hazard rat...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A blood-based biomarker of acute ischemic stroke would be of significant value in clinical practice. This study aimed to (1) replicate in a larger cohort our previous study using gene expression profiling to predict ischemic stroke; and (2) refine prediction of ischemic stroke by including control groups relevant to ischemic stroke. METHODS Patients with ischemic stroke...
INTRODUCTION Acute lacunar stroke in subjects under 55 years of age has been poorly characterized. METHODS We assessed the clinical features of lacunar stroke in 51 patients aged ≤55 years (84.5% men, mean standard deviation [SD] age 49.8 [5.2] years) collected from a prospective hospital-based stroke registry in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. RESULTS This subset of young lacunar stroke patie...
Carotid intervention in severe carotid stenosis after an anterior circulation ischemic event reduces the risk of further infarcts if the surgery is performed soon after the incident event. At present, there is no recommendation to differentiate among subtypes of anterior circulation infarcts or transient ischemic events. However, evidence is mounting that demonstrates a difference in pathophysi...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Determinants of long-term outcome are not well defined in minor stroke patients. This study aims to evaluate which factors are independent long-term predictors of death and major stroke recurrence in a cohort of minor ischemic strokes. METHODS A cohort of 322 patients with first-ever minor ischemic strokes (mean age, 55 years; 89% were treated with antiplatelet or antic...
OBJECTIVE To review the etiology and outcome of cerebrovascular diseases among children in Northeastern Thailand. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, descriptive study. SETTING Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand. MATERIAL AND METHOD The authors studied 109 pediatric patients admitted between April 1995 and 2006. RESULTS The mean age was 11.6 years and the male-to-female ratio was 1.06:1....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Laboratory experiments suggest statins reduce stroke severity and improve outcomes. The Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Levels (SPARCL) trial was a placebo-controlled, randomized trial designed to determine whether treatment with atorvastatin reduces strokes in subjects with recent stroke or transient ischemic attack (n=4731). We analyzed SPARCL t...
BACKGROUND Though large epidemiological studies have not established associations between blood lipids and ischemic stroke, increasing evidences have suggested that lipid-modifying agents may reduce cerebrovascular events. AIMS To determine whether blood lipids are risk factors for ischemic stroke among hypertensive rural adults in China. SETTINGS AND DESIGN A cross-sectional survey was con...
OBJECTIVES As osteoporotic fractures are becoming a major health care problem in countries characterized by an increasing number of older adults, in this study we aimed to compare the incidence and costs of hip fragility fractures in Italian elderly people versus those of major cardiovascular diseases (strokes and acute myocardial infarctions [AMI]) occurring in the whole adult population. ME...
