Plasma lipoproteins in 30 patients of cortical infarction and 20 patients of lacunar infarction were estimated to study the relation of plasma lipids to the risk for ischaemic stroke by comparing clinical and biochemical characteristics of survivors. No significant differences were observed in the concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins, very low density lipoproteins in both the groups. However patients with lacunar infarction had higher concentrations of high density lipoproteins as compared to patients with cortical infarction. These data suggest that previously demonstrated differences in HDL concentration between patients with ischaemic stroke and control subjects without stroke may be true for patients with cortical infarction but not for patients of lacunar infarction.

Objective: To evaluate the features of primary and recurrent stroke in men aged 18-50 years with atherothrombotic, lacunar, and cardioembolic subtypes.
Material And Methods: A total of 125 men with primary and recurrent stroke were included in the study. The main vascular risk factors and lifestyle-related risk factors were assessed.

Objective: To investigate the structural damage in patients with aphasia in the acute phase of ischemic stroke using X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans of the brain.
Material And Methods: We examined 65 right-handed individuals in the acute stage of ischemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery, including 39 men and 26 women aged 41 to 87 years. The patients were divided into two groups: those with aphasia (group 1, 48) and those without aphasia (group 2, 17).
The added value of b0-DWI analysis in the diagnosis of cavitating lacunes when T2-weighted spin-echo is unavailable.

Purpose: Silent brain infarcts, sometimes appearing as incidental lacunes in patients with unknown history of vascular event, are linked to dementia, gait disturbances and depression. We observed that some cavitating lacunes were only visible on b0-diffusion-weighted-imaging (b0-DWI: T2-weighted without diffusion gradients) when T2-weighted-spin-echo (T2-SE) was unavailable. We aimed to evaluate the additional value of b0-DWI in detecting cavitating lacunes.

Objective: After a recent small subcortical infarct (RSSI), some patients develop perilesional or remote hyperintensities ('caps/tracks') to the index infarct on T2/FLAIR MRI. However, their clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated the clinicoradiological correlates of 'caps/tracks', and their impact on long-term outcomes following RSSI.

Background: Endothelial dysfunction and inflammation have been implicated in the pathophysiology of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). However, whether they are causal, and if so which components of the pathways represent potential treatment targets, remains uncertain.
Methods: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to test the association between the circulating abundance of 996 proteins involved in endothelial dysfunction and inflammation and SVD.
