Exploring PGE2 and LXA4 Levels in Migraine Patients: The Potential of LXA4-Based Therapies.

Neurogenic inflammation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of migraines. This study aimed to investigate the serum levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), lipoxin A4 (LXA4), and other inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen) in migraine patients. In total, 53 migraine patients and 53 healthy controls were evaluated.

Evaluation of aspiration risk by relatives of inpatients in the neurology service: A metaphor analysis.

Background: The risk of aspiration is high in stroke patients due to dysphagia/loss of swallowing. This problem can cause problems affecting the nutrition of patients. Due to the possible risk of aspiration during feeding, patient relatives are hesitant to feed their patients.

Endovascular treatment for anterior cerebral artery occlusions.

Background: We sought to examine the feasibility, safety and preliminary efficacy of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) occlusions in patients undergoing endovascular treatment.

Methods: Four hundred five consecutive patients with large-vessel occlusion treated with endovascular treatment were analysed to identify all patients with acute ACA occlusion who underwent endovascular treatment.

Results: Twenty had ACA occlusion (primary ACA occlusion: 9, rescue ACA occlusion: 11), 395 patients had other occlusions (internal carotid artery and MCA).

Endovascular treatment for M3 occlusions.

Introduction: Endovascular treatment (ET) is a beneficial treatment for M1-2 occlusions of the middle cerebral artery. Mortality and disability rates are high if large vessel occlusions are not treated. While these rates are lower in M3 occlusions, important branch blockages can lead to disability.

Can we distinguish stroke and stroke mimics via red cell distribution width in young patients?

Introduction: Discrimination of stroke and stroke mimics is problematic in young patients. The aim of the study was to determine whether arterial ischemic stroke and stroke mimics can be differentiated via the red cell distribution width (RDW) value in young patients.

Material And Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, a total of 236 patients hospitalized at the neurology ward were investigated.

Cortical and cerebellar atrophy, but no lesion in a patient with neuro-Behçet's disease.

Neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD) is a rare clinical entity. There are no reports about cortical atrophy in NBD. We report a patient with NBD exhibiting only cortical and cerebellar atrophy without any lesions.

Prothrombin G20210A mutation, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and generalized vitiligo-related ischemic stroke in a young adult.

Purpose: Cerebral infarction is a rare neurological situation in young adults, usually caused by genetic factors. We report here a case of multiple cerebral infarctions with prothrombin G20210A mutation, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and generalized vitiligo as a first case report.

Case Report: A 17-year-old female adolescent was admitted to our clinic due to a change in mental status.
