Clinical, Imaging, and Atrial Cardiopathy Markers in Ischemic Stroke Subtypes - Clues to a Cardioembolic Source.

Background And Objectives: Cryptogenic strokes account for 20%-25% of all ischemic strokes. Although atrial cardiopathy markers are more prevalent in the cryptogenic embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) subgroup than in the nonembolic stroke subgroup, the utility of individual parameters in predicting cardioembolic sources needs to be studied further. We studied the clinical, imaging, and atrial cardiopathy markers in three ischemic stroke subtypes - large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), cardioembolism (CE), and cryptogenic ESUS - and their role in predicting the source of CE.

Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults in India: Predictors of Recurrence and Functional Outcome.

Background And Objectives: Ischemic stroke (IS) in young is increasingly recognized as an important health problem in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Limited data is available from LMICs about the predictors of outcome and recurrence of IS in young. The study aims to assess the predictors of short-term and long-term functional outcome and the recurrence of the first-ever IS and transient ischemic attack in young.

Dysphagia Continues to Impact Recovery at One Year After Stroke-An Observational Study.

Objectives: Dysphagia is one of the most common medical complication after acute stroke, which can impact hospital stay and discharge outcome. Here we sought to study the predictors and 1 year outcome of patients with acute post stroke dysphagia.

Methods: Single centre hospital based observational study of all acute ischemic stroke patients who had undergone formal swallow assessment within 24 hours of admission with a 1 year completed follow-up were recruited by screening of medical records.

Endows Oncogenic and Stem-Like Attributes to Colorectal Cancer Plausibly by Shh and Wnt Signaling.

The discovery of a potent gene regulating tumorigenesis and drug resistance is of high clinical importance. is an oncogene; however, its molecular associations and role in colorectal oncogenesis are unknown. In this study, we have explored the role of gene in tumorigenesis and studied its molecular targets in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Low Abundance in the Lower Gut Microbiota Is Associated With -Related Gastric Ulcer and Gastric Cancer.

infection in stomach leads to gastric cancer, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer. More than 1 million people die each year due to these diseases, but why most -infected individuals remain asymptomatic while a certain proportion develops such severe gastric diseases remained an enigma. Several studies indicated that gastric and intestinal microbiota may play a critical role in the development of the -associated diseases.
