Article Synopsis
- The Galilee region has a diverse Arab population including Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Bedouins, each with unique cultural backgrounds.
- This study focused on analyzing ischemic stroke characteristics such as recurrence rates, severity, and subtypes across these distinct communities and genders, revealing significant variations.
- Key findings included higher recurrent stroke rates in Bedouins, more large vessel strokes in Christians, and notable gender disparities in stroke severity among Druze, highlighting the need for tailored prevention and treatment strategies for these subgroups.
Unlabelled: Both Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Noonan syndrome (NS) are RASopathies. Characteristic cardiac phenotypes of NS, including specific electrocardiographic changes, pulmonary valve stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have not been completely studied in NF1.
Purpose: The aims of this study were to assess: (1) similarities in the prevalence and types of ECG and conventional echocardiographic findings described in NS in asymptomatic patients with NF1, and (2) the presence of discrete myocardial dysfunction in NF1 patients using myocardial strain imaging.
