Antibody delivery to the CNS remains a huge hurdle for the clinical application of antibodies targeting a CNS antigen. The blood–brain barrier and blood–CSF barrier restrict access of therapeutic antibodies to their CNS targets in a major way. The very high amounts of therapeutic antibodies that are administered systemically in recent clinical trials to reach… Continue reading Intranasal delivery of full-length anti-Nogo-A antibody: A potential alternative route for therapeutic antibodies to central nervous system targets

Association of Maternal Preeclampsia With Offspring Risks of Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke in Nordic Countries
Importance An association between maternal preeclampsia and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in the offspring is plausible, but evidence in this area is limited.Objective To investigate (1) the association between maternal preeclampsia and risks of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke in the offspring, (2) whether the association varies by severity or timing of onset of… Continue reading Association of Maternal Preeclampsia With Offspring Risks of Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke in Nordic Countries
Zoster-Associated Prothrombotic Plasma Exosomes and Increased Stroke Risk
Herpes zoster (HZ; shingles) caused by varicella zoster virus reactivation increases stroke risk for up to 1 year after HZ. The underlying mechanisms are unclear, however, the development of stroke distant from the site of zoster (eg, thoracic, lumbar, sacral) that can occur months after resolution of rash points to a long-lasting, virus-induced soluble factor… Continue reading Zoster-Associated Prothrombotic Plasma Exosomes and Increased Stroke Risk
Contribution of Common Genetic Variants to Risk of Early Onset Ischemic Stroke
Background and Objectives: Current genome-wide association studies of ischemic stroke have focused primarily on late onset disease. As a complement to these studies, we sought to identifythe contribution of common genetic variants to risk of early onset ischemic stroke.Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of early onset stroke (EOS), ages 18-59, using individual level… Continue reading Contribution of Common Genetic Variants to Risk of Early Onset Ischemic Stroke
Laparoscopically Confirmed Endometriosis and Risk of Incident Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study
AbstractBackground:Prior research suggests that women with endometriosis are at greater risk of coronary heart disease. Therefore, our objective was to prospectively investigate the association between laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis and risk of incident stroke during 28 years of follow-up.Methods:Participants in the NHSII cohort study (Nurses’ Health Study II) were followed from 1989 when they were between… Continue reading Laparoscopically Confirmed Endometriosis and Risk of Incident Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study
Acute ischemic stroke and vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia post COVID-19 vaccination; a systematic review
AbstractIntroductionOne of the rare but potentially serious side effects of COVID-19 vaccination is arterial and venous thrombosis. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) cases have been reported post COVID-19 vaccination. Herein, we systematically reviewed the reported cases of AIS after COVID-19 vaccination.MethodThis systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses… Continue reading Acute ischemic stroke and vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia post COVID-19 vaccination; a systematic review
Association of Accelerometer-Measured Sedentary Time and Physical Activity With Risk of Stroke Among US Adults
Importance The amount and intensity of physical activity required to prevent stroke are yet to be fully determined because of previous reliance on self-reporting measures. Furthermore, the association between objectively measured time spent being sedentary as an independent risk factor for stroke is unknown. Objective To investigate the associations of accelerometer-measured sedentary time and physical… Continue reading Association of Accelerometer-Measured Sedentary Time and Physical Activity With Risk of Stroke Among US Adults
Supper Timing and Cardiovascular Mortality: The Japan Collaborative Cohort Study
Evidence on the role of supper timing in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is limited. In this study, we examined the associations between supper timing and risks of mortality from stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), and total CVD. A total of 28,625 males and 43,213 females, aged 40 to 79 years, free from CVD… Continue reading Supper Timing and Cardiovascular Mortality: The Japan Collaborative Cohort Study
Stroke Associated with COVID-19 Vaccines
Development of safe and effective vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains the cornerstone of controlling this pandemic. However, there are increasing reports of various types of stroke including ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, as well as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) after COVID-19 vaccination. This paper aims to review reports of stroke associated with… Continue reading Stroke Associated with COVID-19 Vaccines
