Background: The epidemiologic characteristics and attributable risk factors of ischemic stroke in China have changed over the past three decades. An up-to-date analysis on deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), prevalence, incidence, and attributable risk factors of ischemic stroke for China is needed. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of burden and attributable risk factors of ischemic stroke at national level in China by sex from 1990 to 2019.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019. All data used in this study was derived from the 2019 GBD study. Deaths, DALYs, prevalence, incidence, and attributable risk factors of ischemic stroke in China by sex from 1990 to 2019 were analyzed.
Results: From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized deaths rate decreased by 3.3%, age-standardized DALYs rate decreased by 4%, age-standardized prevalence rate increased by 33.5%, and age-standardized incidence rate of ischemic stroke in China increased by 34.7%. In 2019, ambient particulate matter pollution became an important risk factor, whereas household air pollution from solid fuels was no longer a major risk factor for ischemic stroke in China. Burden of ischemic stroke was higher in China compared to other regions. Ambient particulate matter pollution among men, and diet high in sodium, smoking, household air pollution from solid fuels among women account for the increased deaths/DALYs due to ischemic stroke in China.
Conclusion: Our study revealed that great changes have occurred in burden and attributable risk factors of ischemic stroke in China in the past three decades. Distinct sex-specific differences are observed in burden and attributable risk factors.

Background: Electronegative LDL (LDL(-)) is a circulant modified LDL with inflammatory properties whose proportion raises in ischemic events. The soluble form of LDL receptor related protein 1 (sLRP1) increases in blood in pathological situations, including ischemic stroke. We aimed to evaluate the effect of LDL(-) on sLRP1 release from monocytes and macrophages.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus primarily colonizes the lower gastrointestinal tract; however, infections from this site are rarely reported. A 77-year-old man developed an ischemic stroke and fever. Blood cultures showed S.

Background And Purpose: Cervicocephalic artery dissection (CCAD) is a well-recognized cause of ischemic stroke. However, complex forms of CCAD, characterized by a wide intimal inlet without a visible intramural hematoma, pose diagnostic challenges and complicate endovascular access to the true lumen when recanalization is required. We aimed to analyze the clinical presentation, outcomes, and feasibility of endovascular treatment of complex CCAD and to propose a novel morphological classification.

Introduction: Intracranial atherosclerosis is the main cause of stroke globally, with acute large vessel occlusive (LVO) stroke being a predominant contributor to stroke-related mortality. In recent years, aspiration thrombectomy (AT) has emerged as a novel therapeutic method for treating acute LVO stroke. The purpose of this study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of AT alone or combined with stent retriever thrombectomy (SRT) in the treatment of acute LVO stroke METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a multicentre and observational real-world study involving patients diagnosed with acute LVO stroke.

Background: Balancing the risks of thrombotic and bleeding events in people with advanced kidney disease is a clinical challenge.
Objectives: To estimate rates of major adverse thrombotic events (MATEs) and bleeding events in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 or 5 or with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Methods: Using administrative claims from a 20% Medicare sample, Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database, and the US Renal Data System from 2016-2019, we identified individuals with CKD stages 4 or 5 and individuals with dialysis-dependent ESKD.
