Mounting evidence indicates an association between adipokines and inflammation-related atherosclerosis. Here, we sought to investigate the association of vaspin and omentin with clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with acute cerebral ischemia (ACI). Consecutive ACI patients were evaluated within 24 h from symptom-onset.

Background: Rapidly progressive dementia (RPD) is a clinical syndrome developing in <1 to 2 years. Recent progress in RPD evaluation is significant, so RPD's prevalence may change over time. The aim of our new case series was to estimate the relative frequency of RPDs' causative entities, considering the recent advances in RPDs' diagnosis, and compare the results with those of our previous report.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the risks of recurrent ischemic events and severe bleeding in patients with acute posterior ischemic stroke (PS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) in relation to oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) and timing of initiation.
  • Researchers compared outcomes in 473 patients with PS to 1997 patients with anterior stroke (AS), focusing on events within 90 days of the initial stroke.
  • Findings indicated that both PS and AS patients had similar risks of ischemic or hemorrhagic events at 90 days, regardless of when OAT was initiated.

Objective: In this study, we sought to evaluate the impact of implantable cardiac monitoring (ICM) in the prevention of stroke recurrence after a cryptogenic ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Methods: We evaluated consecutive patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke or TIA admitted in a comprehensive stroke center during an 8-year period. We compared the baseline characteristics and outcomes between patients receiving conventional cardiac monitoring with repeated 24-hour Holter-monitoring during the first 5 years in the outpatient setting and those receiving continuous cardiac monitoring with ICM during the last 3 years.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates when it's best to start oral anticoagulants after an ischemic stroke caused by atrial fibrillation, particularly focusing on patients who received thrombolysis or thrombectomy.
  • It combines data from two studies conducted between 2012 and 2016, analyzing patients treated with either Vitamin K antagonists or non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants for secondary stroke prevention.
  • Among 2159 patients included, the timing for starting anticoagulants was similar for those treated with reperfusion therapies and those not treated, with low rates of stroke or bleeding complications observed within 90 days.
