Forecasting extremely high ischemic stroke incidence using meteorological time serie.

Motivation: The association between weather conditions and stroke incidence has been a subject of interest for several years, yet the findings from various studies remain inconsistent. Additionally, predictive modelling in this context has been infrequent. This study explores the relationship of extremely high ischaemic stroke incidence and meteorological factors within the Slovak population.

Exploring CJD incidence trends: insights from Slovakia.

Authors are commenting on the evolving geographical incidence trends observed with the genetic form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and discussing the diverse array of factors contributing to the heightened incidence rates observed in specific geographical regions.

Predictors of Outcome after Direct Aspiration of Basilar Artery Occlusion.

: Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is a serious disease with a poor prognosis if left untreated. Endovascular therapy (EVT) is the most effective treatment that is able to reduce mortality and disability. Treatment results are influenced by a wide range of factors that have not been clearly identified.

Gastrointestinal Complications of Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-Like Episodes (MELAS) Syndrome Managed By Parenteral Nutrition.

Unlabelled: MELAS - an acronym for mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes - is a multiorgan disease caused by a mutation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Its clinical manifestations are highly variable; mainly stroke-like episodes, seizures, recurrent headaches, or muscle weakness. However, gastrointestinal complications such as chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IPO), pancreatitis, gastroparesis and hepatopathy are also common.
