AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Recurrent ischemic strokes often have uncommon causes in young adults. Vascular abnormalities may be considered as a possible etiology. We report a 36-year-old man who experienced recurrent cryptogenic ischemic strokes despite medical therapy. Conventional cerebral angiography was unrevealing. Subsequent brain biopsy revealed a distinctive histopathological pattern of abnormal perivascular collagen deposition without inflammation. Recurrent cryptogenic strokes may have novel etiologies, and brain biopsy should be considered when standard diagnostic tests fail.

Arterial stiffness mediates insulin resistance-related risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: a real-life, prospective cohort study.
Eur J Prev Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Kailuan General Hospital, Tangshan 063001, Hebei, CN.
Background: The precise pathways connecting insulin resistance (IR) to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remain undefined. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of arterial stiffness in the association between IR and ASCVD, providing epidemiology insights into the potential mechanisms driving IR to incident ASCVD.
Methods: A total of 59,777 participants from the Kailuan Study Arterial Stiffness Subcohort who were free of ASCVD at baseline were enrolled in the present study.
Construction of an lncRNA-mediated ceRNA network to investigate the inflammatory regulatory mechanisms of ischemic stroke.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are among the most abundant types of non-coding RNAs in the genome and exhibit particularly high expression levels in the brain, where they play crucial roles in various neurophysiological and neuropathological processes. Although ischemic stroke is a complex multifactorial disease, the involvement of brain-derived lncRNAs in its intricate regulatory networks remains inadequately understood. In this study, we established a cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model using middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in male Sprague-Dawley rats.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a major global health challenge, necessitating up-to-date data on its burden for effective care planning and resource allocation. This study comprehensively analyzes the global, regional, and national CVD burden and associated risks from 1990 to 2021.
Methods And Results: We performed a secondary analysis of CVD burden and risk factors using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.
A Data-Informed Mathematical Model of Microglial Cell Dynamics During Ischemic Stroke in the Middle Cerebral Artery.
Bull Math Biol

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Program, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA.
Neuroinflammation immediately follows the onset of ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery. During this process, microglial cells are activated in and recruited to the penumbra. Microglial cells can be activated into two different phenotypes: M1, which can worsen brain injury; or M2, which can aid in long-term recovery.

Echocardiography Laboratory, Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia, São Paulo, Brazil.
This study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic and ventricular performance of neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) undergoing therapeutic hypothermia using conventional and advanced echocardiographic techniques. This observational, prospective study included 22 neonates with HIE matched with 22 healthy neonates. Echocardiographic studies were performed 24 h after achieving target temperature during hypothermia and 24 h after rewarming.
