Alpha-1 antichymotrypsin gene signal peptide A/T polymorphism and primary intracerebral hemorrhage
(2008)Background/Aims: Alpha-1 antichymotrypsin (ACT), a serine proteinase inhibitor, has been implicated in vascular pathology. The TT genotype of the ACT signal peptide A/T polymorphism has been reported to confer susceptibility ... -
Association of ischaemic stroke subtype with long-term cardiovascular events
(2014)Background and purpose: There is no strong evidence that all ischaemic stroke types are associated with high cardiovascular risk. Our aim was to investigate whether all ischaemic stroke types are associated with high ... -

Early gastrostomy reduces the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia in stroke or head injury patients
(2005)Presence of a nasogastric tube is a risk factor for the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Alternatively, gastrostomy can be used for administration of enteral feedings. To determine whether early ... -
Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source in the Athens Stroke Registry An Outcome Analysis
(2015)Background and Purpose-Information about outcomes in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) patients is unavailable. This study provides a detailed analysis of outcomes of a large ESUS population. Methods-Data set ... -
Improving prediction of recanalization in acute large-vessel occlusive stroke
(2014)Background Recanalization in acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion is a potent indicator of good clinical outcome. Objective To identify easily available clinical and radiologic variables predicting recanalization ... -
Nonvitamin-K-Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Previous Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
(2012)Background and Purpose-To assess whether the combined analysis of all phase III trials of nonvitamin-K-antagonist (non-VKA) oral anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation and previous stroke or transient ischemic ... -
Safety of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Stroke Mimics Prospective 5-Year Study and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis
(2015)Background and Purpose-Shortening door-to-needle time may lead to inadvertent intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) administration in stroke mimics (SMs). We sought to determine the safety of IVT in SMs using prospective, ... -
Variants of the Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase-Activating Protein (ALOX5AP) Gene and Risk of Stroke: A HuGE Gene-Disease Association Review and Meta-Analysis
(2009)Variants of the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene have been implicated as a risk factor for stroke. However, genetic association studies that have examined the association between ALOX5AP gene ...
