A follow-up study of 107 patients with lacunar syndromes has been performed using the analysis of the survival curves and the recurrence curves for new focal cerebrovascular acute episodes. At the end of the 7th year of follow-up, the survival rate of lacunar patients was 479 per 1000, lower than the survival rate of the normal population matched for sex and age (755 per 1000). A more severe prognosis was observed in subjects over 65 years of age, in patients with pseudobulbar syndrome, hypertension and higher degree of disability. The average recurrence rate for new cerebrovascular episodes was 4.74 per 100 patient-years, much lower than that in survivors from cerebral infarction.

Background And Objectives: Plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer disease (AD), neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration are increasingly being used in clinical trials for diagnosis and monitoring of dementia. However, their association with longitudinal structural brain MRI changes, an important outcome measure across neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases, is less known. We investigated how baseline plasma biomarkers reflect MRI markers of progression over time in patients with neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases.

Objective: An estimated 40% of patients experience cognitive impairment 3 months after a stroke. However, there is a lack of knowledge about cognitive improvement after stroke. This exploratory study aims to comprehend the prevalence and patterns of cognitive improvement within the initial 3 months poststroke.

Cerebral infarction screening (CIS) is critical for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes. We investigate the application of machine learning techniques for feature selection and classification of speech and cognitive function assessments to enhance cerebral infarction screening. We analyze a dataset containing 117 patients (95 patients were diagnosed with cerebral infarction, and 54 were identified as lacunar cerebral infarction of them) comprising speech and cognitive function features from patients with lacunar and non-lacunar cerebral infarction, as well as healthy controls.

Background: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the association between imaging characteristics and progressive infarction (PI) in patients with anterior circulation single subcortical infarction (ACSSI).
Methods: Between January 2020 and October 2022, we retrospectively enrolled 638 ACSSI patients admitted to the Stroke Unit of First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University within 48 h after symptom onset. Demographic characteristics, clinical information, laboratory data, and imaging features (the number of infarct slices and the maximal diameter of infarcts) were collected.

Retinal imaging, used for assessing stroke-related retinal changes, is a non-invasive and cost-effective method that can be enhanced by machine learning and deep learning algorithms, showing promise in early disease detection, severity grading, and prognostic evaluation in stroke patients. This review explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in stroke patient care, focusing on retinal imaging integration into clinical workflows. Retinal imaging has revealed several microvascular changes, including a decrease in the central retinal artery diameter and an increase in the central retinal vein diameter, both of which are associated with lacunar stroke and intracranial hemorrhage.
