  • Incidence Trends and Risk of Recurrent Stroke of Cervical Artery Dissections in the United States Between 2005 and 2019

    Wednesday, April 02, 2025
    Author(s): Liqi Shu,Lukas Strelecky,Adam de Havenon,Thanh N Nguyen,Nils Henninger,Zafer Keser,Muhib Khan,James Ernest Siegler,Mary Penckofer,Setareh Salehi Omran,Thalia S Field,Lily Zhou,Han Xiao,Austin Jacobson,Eric D Goldstein,Christoph Stretz,Farhan Khan,Elizabeth Perelstein,Karen Furie,Shadi Yaghi

    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) is a common cause of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), especially in patients younger than 55 years, but data regarding trends and subsequent AIS risk after CeAD remain scarce. We aimed to determine national trends in CeAD admissions and examine post-CeAD risk of ischemic stroke.

    CONCLUSIONS: In this post hoc analysis of the STOP-CAD study, several factors associated with subsequent ischemic stroke were identified among patients with CAD. Furthermore, we identified a potential benefit of anticoagulation in patients with CAD with occlusive dissection. These findings require validation by meta-analyses of prior studies to formulate optimal treatment strategies for specific high-risk CAD subgroups.
  • Characteristics and Medication Use Patterns of Pregnancies With COVID-19 Ending in Live-Birth in the Sentinel System

    CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective evaluation, selected medication utilization was higher post-COVID-19 among pregnancies with COVID-19, compared to those without COVID-19 and to non-pregnancy episodes with COVID-19. However, the low use of COVID-19-specific medications underscores the need for a safety evaluation of therapies used for COVID-19 management in the pregnant population.
  • In-Hospital Mortality Prediction among Intensive Care Unit Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Machine Learning Approach

    Tuesday, March 18, 2025
    Author(s): Jack A Cummins,Ben S Gerber,Mayuko Ito Fukunaga,Nils Henninger,Catarina I Kiefe,Feifan Liu

    Background: Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States. Identifying patients with stroke at high risk of mortality is crucial for timely intervention and optimal resource allocation. This study aims to develop and validate machine learning-based models to predict in-hospital mortality risk for intensive care unit (ICU) patients with acute ischemic stroke and identify important associated factors. Methods: Our data include 3,489 acute ischemic stroke admissions to the...

    Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and morbid abnormality of the heart rhythm with a strong genetic component. Here, we meta-analyzed genome and exome sequencing data from 36 studies that included 52,416 AF cases and 277,762 controls. In burden tests of rare coding variation, we identified novel associations between AF and the genes MYBPC3, LMNA, PKP2, FAM189A2 and KDM5B. We further identified associations between AF and rare structural variants owing to deletions in CTNNA3 and duplications...

    CONCLUSIONS: ENT during MT for MeVO stroke occurs infrequently and does not significantly affect the clinical outcomes. These findings suggest ENT risk should not deter clinicians from performing MT in patients with MeVO. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these results.
  • Psychosocial Burden and Suicidality in Epilepsy: A Public Health Concern

    Author(s): Elaine T Kiriakopoulos,Felicia Chu,Jay Salpekar,Gaston Baslet,Gena Ghearing,Hamada Altalib,Martha Sajatovic
    Source: Epilepsy currents
    The increased risk for psychosocial burden and suicidality in people with epilepsy compared to the general population is a well-established global public health concern. Suicidality risk is also increased in patients with functional seizures. The timely identification of patients at highest risk for psychosocial burden and self-harm is vital. This can pose a significant challenge for multidisciplinary clinicians caring for people with epilepsy. Early identification of social stressors and...
  • Association of Statin Therapy with Functional Outcomes and Survival in Intracerebral and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

    Tuesday, February 25, 2025
    Author(s): Bahadar S Srichawla,Daksha Gopal,Majaz Moonis
    Source: Neurology international
    Background/Objectives: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are severe forms of stroke with high morbidity and mortality rates. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as statins, known for their lipid-lowering abilities, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. We aimed to evaluate the impact of statin therapy on the functional outcomes and survival in patients with ICH and SAH. Methods: This...
  • Central-variant posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in association with adrenal insufficiency: A case report

    Author(s): Bahadar S Srichawla,Vincent Kipkorir,Rakhee Lalla
    Source: Medicine
    RATIONALE: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurotoxic condition often linked to hypertension, eclampsia, or renal failure. PRES typically presenting with seizures, headaches, visual disturbances, and altered mental status. A rarer form, the central variant of PRES, involves atypical radiologic findings such as edema in central brain structures. PRES has not been previously associated with adrenal insufficiency, making this case novel and significant.
