Ischemic stroke, accounting for approximately 80% of all stroke cases, remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Effective management of ischemic stroke is heavily influenced by its etiology, which can range from large-artery atherosclerosis and cardiac embolism to cerebral small-vessel occlusions and cryptogenic strokes. Cardioembolic stroke, which makes up about 30% of ischemic strokes, often leads to more severe symptoms and worse outcomes, necessitating anticoagulation therapy for prevention.

Introduction: Ischaemic stroke, primarily caused by thromboembolic events, typically arises as a consequence of underlying vascular or cardiac pathology. Non-thrombotic embolic strokes, although rare, are increasingly seen in interventional and intravascular procedures. Oxygen-ozone therapy (OOT) is one of the popular treatments for lumbar disc herniation, providing pain relief.

Introduction: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) patients may experience states of hypoxia and hypoperfusion, which may increase the burden of enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS). However, to our knowledge, no data are available regarding EPVS in PFO patients. This study sought to investigate if patients with PFO exhibit a heightened burden of EPVS and to identify the mediating factors between PFO and EPVS.

The X-linked NONO gene encodes Non-Pou Domain-Containing Octamer-Binding Protein, a multifunctional member of the DBHS family involved in transcriptional regulation, RNA splicing and DNA repair. Pathogenic variants in NONO cause Intellectual Developmental Disorder, X-linked Syndromic (MIM #300967), characterised by intellectual disability, neurodevelopmental delay, cardiomyopathy, such as left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), and congenital heart defects such as including atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and patent foramen ovale (PFO). This study reports three new patients with pathogenic hemizygous frameshift variants in NONO identified with exome sequencing, broadening the clinical presentation.

Rationale: Bilateral thalamic infarction is a rare type of posterior circulation stroke, and it often presents with a reduced level of consciousness in the elderly. Arteriosclerosis is the primary etiology of bilateral thalamic infarction, including conditions such as native vessel stenosis or arterial-to-arterial embolism. Cardiogenic or paradoxical embolism can also lead to thrombosis of the perforator branches innervating the thalamus, and these emboli tend to disintegrate and lead to multiple lesions, even in elderly patients.
