A large Ontario cohort study found that transient ischemic attack (TIA) significantly increases long-term dementia risk, rivaling stroke’s impact, underscoring the need for cognitive-focused prevention strategies.
Stroke incidence among young adults aged 20-54 is increasing despite a modest decline in 30-day fatality, linked to growing prevalence of vascular risk factors and substance use. This population-based study underscores urgent preventive nee
Atrial fibrillation density, reflecting temporal episode clustering, independently predicts ischaemic stroke risk and improves risk stratification beyond traditional AF burden metrics, enabling more precise stroke prevention strategies.
This study reveals persistent structural brain alterations and evolving psychiatric symptoms in post-acute NMDA receptor encephalitis, highlighting the need for focused long-term care and advanced imaging markers.
Left atrial mechanical dysfunction, particularly atrial electromechanical dissociation and impaired left atrial strain contraction, forecasts increased cerebrovascular events in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy patients even in sinus rh
This article evaluates spinal MRI features in AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD myelitis, highlighting the diagnostic specificity of bright spotty lesions, the double-contoured LETM sign, and sagittal ring enhancement for differentiating NMOSD from other mye
This large-scale meta-analysis identifies specific brain structural alterations—mainly in cortical surface area and subcortical volumes—associated with bulimia nervosa diagnosis and symptom severity, advancing understanding of its neurobiol
This review synthesizes evidence on the relationship between antipsychotic choice after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic epilepsy risk in older adults, highlighting recent population-based findings and mechanistic implication
This randomized trial found that larger doses of bupivacaine for sphenopalatine ganglion block did not improve sustained headache relief in emergency patients compared to smaller doses, with good tolerability across all doses.
Etiologic investigations after status epilepticus (SE) demonstrate variable diagnostic yield and significantly influence treatment decisions, especially when guided by clinical pretest probability. Tailored diagnostic strategies enhance tim
This study introduces a standardized 5-class framework for tau PET imaging to better detect and stage Alzheimer’s disease, improving early diagnosis and patient stratification across different tracers.
This study evaluates risk factors for intracranial haemorrhage after tenecteplase fibrinolysis in STEMI patients, developing a prediction model highlighting age, blood pressure, sex, weight, and dose interactions as key determinants.
This study delineates how vascular imaging morphologies, notably the double lumen sign, predict time-specific recurrence risk after craniocervical artery dissection, highlighting the hyperacute phase as critical for secondary prevention.
Longitudinal EEG analysis in infants with CDKL5 deficiency disorder reveals progressive background abnormalities and specific seizure phenotypes correlating with developmental severity within the first two years of life.
This study reveals significant associations between high-level blast exposure during military service and increased risk for chronic health conditions in US Veterans, emphasizing the long-term occupational hazards of blast injuries.
This longitudinal study shows that retinal microvascular changes measured by OCTA correspond with cerebral small vessel disease progression and cognitive decline in mild ischemic stroke patients, highlighting OCTA’s potential as a non
This study identifies systemic pathological pathways that mediate blood-brain barrier injury in sickle cell disease, linking BBB disruption to brain hypoxia and microstructural injury, highlighting new therapeutic targets to preserve neurol
This study demonstrates that arterial spin labeling spatial coefficient of variation (ASL-sCoV) correlates with cerebral small vessel disease burden and predicts cognitive decline over 11 years, outperforming traditional cerebral blood flow
Postacute discharge to inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRF) after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is associated with a reduced 1-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) compared to discharge to home or skilled nursing facil
