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
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Better Than High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Predicting Stroke-Associated Pneumonia in Afebrile Patients
To evaluate the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) without fever and to clarify whether NLR has an advantage over high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in predicting SAP. Patients and Methods: A total of 434 patients with AIS without fever were assessed in this study. Multivariable… Continue reading Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Better Than High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Predicting Stroke-Associated Pneumonia in Afebrile Patients
Consumption of coffee and tea and risk of developing stroke, dementia, and poststroke dementia: A cohort study in the UK Biobank
Previous studies have revealed the involvement of coffee and tea in the development of stroke and dementia. However, little is known about the association between the combination of coffee and tea and the risk of stroke, dementia, and poststroke dementia. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the associations of coffee and tea separately and in combination… Continue reading Consumption of coffee and tea and risk of developing stroke, dementia, and poststroke dementia: A cohort study in the UK Biobank
Serum Nonesterified #Fatty Acids and Incident #Stroke: The CHS
Significant associations between total nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations and incident stroke have been reported in some prospective cohort studies. We evaluated the associations between incident stroke and serum concentrations of nonesterified saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and trans fatty acids. Methods and ResultsCHS (Cardiovascular Health Study) participants (N=2028) who were free of stroke at baseline (1996–1997)… Continue reading Serum Nonesterified #Fatty Acids and Incident #Stroke: The CHS
Estimating dose-response relationships for vitamin #D with #coronary heart disease, #stroke, and all-cause mortality: observational and Mendelian randomisation analyses
SummaryBackgroundRandomised trials of vitamin D supplementation for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality have generally reported null findings. However, generalisability of results to individuals with low vitamin D status is unclear. We aimed to characterise dose-response relationships between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations and risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality in observational and Mendelian… Continue reading Estimating dose-response relationships for vitamin #D with #coronary heart disease, #stroke, and all-cause mortality: observational and Mendelian randomisation analyses
Greater Adherence to Secondary Prevention Medications Improves Survival After #Stroke or Transient #Ischemic Attack: A Linked Registry Study
Although a target of 80% medication adherence is commonly cited, it is unclear whether greater adherence improves survival after stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). We investigated associations between medication adherence during the first year postdischarge, and mortality up to 3 years, to provide evidence-based targets for medication adherence. Methods:Retrospective cohort study of 1-year survivors… Continue reading Greater Adherence to Secondary Prevention Medications Improves Survival After #Stroke or Transient #Ischemic Attack: A Linked Registry Study
