Serum lipid profiles and post-stroke depression in acute ischemic stroke patients.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a psychiatric complication after stroke that leads to poorer stroke outcomes. Recent observational studies have indicated that lipid profiles were associated with a higher risk of stroke and depression. This study aims to further explore the possible relationship between serum lipid profiles and the development of PSD.

Low levels of serum magnesium are associated with poststroke cognitive impairment in ischemic stroke patients.

Purpose: Population-based studies have revealed a high prevalence of cognitive impairment after stroke. We aimed to determine the impact of serum magnesium (Mg) levels on the occurrence of poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).

Patients And Methods: Acute ischemic stroke patients (n = 327) were enrolled in our study and serum Mg levels were assessed on admission.

The association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and post-stroke depression.

Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common complication occurring among stroke survivors. It has been shown that increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with depression. We explored the relationship between NLR and PSD.

Relationship between serum vitamin D levels and inflammatory markers in acute stroke patients.

Introduction: Low serum vitamin D levels are associated with the development of poststroke depression (PSD). Inflammatory markers play an important role in pathophysiology of PSD. The relationship between vitamin D levels and inflammatory markers has been discussed in nonstroke individuals.

Prediabetes is associated with post-stroke cognitive impairment in ischaemic stroke patients.

Aim: Diabetes mellitus is associated with post-stroke cognitive impairment. To the best of our knowledge, no study has explored the relationship between prediabetes and post-stroke cognitive impairment. The purpose of this study is to explore the association between prediabetes and cognitive impairment in ischaemic stroke patients at 1 month.

Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in chronic insomnia patients and the association with poor treatment outcome at 2months.

Background: The association between low 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and sleep disorder has been reported. We investigated whether serum concentrations of 25(OH)D are altered in chronic insomnia patients. The relationship between serum concentrations of 25(OH)D and the treatment outcome in patients at 2months was also investigated.

High Serum Levels of Malondialdehyde and 8-OHdG are both Associated with Early Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Acute Ischaemic Stroke.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is an increasingly prevalent sequel after stroke that may associate with poor functional outcome and increased risk of recurrent stroke. We aimed to explore the relationship between oxidative stress biomarkers and the presence of PSCI. 193 first-ever acute ischaemic stroke patients were consecutively enrolled in the current study.
