The data on the risk factors and etiology of ischemic stroke in 31 infants, aged under 3 years, are summarized. The results of genotyping of blood coagulation and folic acid gene polymorphisms in patients and 83 healthy people are presented. Significant differences were found for -455 G>A FGB (р=0.03) and 807 C>T ITGA2 (р=0,005) polymorphisms. Different gene-gene combinations that can cause hypercoagulation and arterial thrombosis in this age were identified. The most frequent combinations include polymorphisms of genes for FGB, fibrinolysis system and folate cycle enzymes (OR=3,79 and more, p<0.05). A clinical case of ischemic stroke in a girl, aged 10 months, after operated congenital heart malformation is presented.

Objective Thyroid hormones (TH) control a variety of processes in the central nervous system and influence its response to different stimuli, such as ischemic stroke. Post-stroke administration of 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) has been reported to substantially improve outcomes, but the optimal dosage and time window remain elusive. Methods Stroke was induced in mice by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and T3 was administered at different doses and time points before and after stroke.

The genetic relationship between migraine and stroke remains underexplored, particularly in the context of druggable targets. Previous studies have been limited by small sample sizes and a lack of focus on genetic-targeted therapies for these conditions. We analyzed the association and causality between migraine and stroke using multivariable logistic regression in the UK Biobank cohort and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) data.

Aim: Ischemic stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide and ca-rotid stenosis is the leading etiology of ischemic strokes of non-cardiac origin. The chronic inflammatory process and pro-inflammatory state in carotid stenosis seem to be the most im-portant underlying factor in carotid occlusion. In addition to medical therapy and carotid ar-tery stunting (CAS) in the treatment of carotid stenosis, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the main surgical treatment of carotid stenosis and its prognosis is the main subject of our study.

Acute ischemic stroke, a medical emergency caused by reduced cerebral blood flow, results in brain cell damage. While commonly associated with older individuals, strokes can also occur in young and middle-aged adults, posing significant socio-economic and health challenges due to the long-term impact of the condition. This poses significant socio-economic and health challenges because stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality.

Introduction: Post-stroke depression (PSD) can lead to poorer functional outcomes and prognosis. Brain inflammation is a risk factor for PSD. Statins might be beneficial due to their anti-inflammatory properties.
