Ischemic strokes secondary to occlusion of large vessels have been described in patients with COVID-19. Also, venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism related the disease. Vascular may be associated a prothrombotic state due COVID-19-related coagulopathy endotheliopathy. Intracranial hemorrhagic lesions can additionally seen these patients. The causative mechanism hemorrhage could antico...

The caudate nucleus (CN) is composed of a head, body and tail. The head of the CN contributes to forming the floor of the lateral ventricle frontal horn. Moreover, the head, which is medially separated by the septum pellucidum extends beyond the anterior part of the thalamus, stroking the telencephalic cortex. The superior part of the head is covered by the knee of the corpus callosum, while th...

BACKGROUND The management and prognosis of stroke depends on the correct assessment of its pathological sub-type. It is therefore pertinent to have a simple and quick means of evaluating patients with stroke. The Siriraj stroke score (SSS) was developed in Thailand based on clinical parameters and have a good predictive value. This study aims at validating the Siriraj stroke score, as the predi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE ANRIL encodes a long antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus. Although ANRIL has been proven to be associated with coronary heart disease, its roles in stroke are inconsistent, and sparse data are available regarding hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS A Chinese case-control study was conducted, comprising 1657 cases (724 atherothrombosis, 466 lacunar infarction, and 462 hemo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Geographic variation in stroke rates is well established in the general population, with higher rates in the South than in other areas of the United States. A similar pattern of geographic variation in ischemic strokes has also recently been reported in patients undergoing long-term dialysis, but whether this is also the case for hemorrhagic stroke is unknown. DESIGN...
