Article Abstract
This study aims to investigate functional abnormalities in transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients compared to healthy controls (HCs) using percent amplitude of fluctuation (PerAF) across multiple frequency bands derived from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). We scanned 48 TIA patients and 41 HCs using rs-fMRI and high-resolution T1-weighted brain images. Both PerAF and modified PerAF (mPerAF) were utilized for comparative analysis across the typical frequency band (0.01-0.08 Hz) and two subfrequency bands: slow-4 (0.027-0.073 Hz) and slow-5 (0.01-0.027 Hz). Two-sample -tests were conducted to assess group differences, with multiple comparisons correction using Gaussian random field (GRF) methods. Compared to HCs, TIA patients exhibited significantly lower PerAF in the right inferior frontal triangular gyrus in both the typical and slow-5 bands. Additionally, reductions were observed in the right superior frontal medial gyrus in the slow-4 band and the left middle temporal gyrus in the slow-5 band. No significant differences were observed in mPerAF. These findings suggest a significant impact of TIA on multiple brain regions, with frequency-specific alterations in PerAF, providing novel insights into the underlying mechanisms of TIA.

Predictive value of patent foramen ovale diameter for cryptogenic stroke and age-related differences.

Introduction: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with cryptogenic stroke (CS), whereas not all PFO carriers experience strokes. Current risk assessment tools like the Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) scoring system and PFO-Associated Stroke Causal Likelihood (PASCAL) system have limitations, particularly in elderly populations. This study aims to explore risk factors for PFO-related CS and evaluate age-related differences between younger and elderly patients.

Objective: Severity and outcome of stroke may be associated with a concomitant or subsequent inflammatory response. C-reactive protein (CRP) may correlate with length of stay (LOS) in hospital, indicating increased complexity of stroke patients with an ongoing inflammatory reaction upon admission.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study used data from admissions to the non-comprehensive Stroke Unit, which receives patients ineligible for revascularization therapy at Herlev-Gentofte hospital, in 2019 and 2020.
Evaluation of Kienböck's Disease through Distal Radius Sagittal Plane Analysis.

Background: Kienböck's disease poses challenges in plate placement during radial shortening osteotomy due to steep metaphyseal inclinations of the distal radius. While coronal plane analyses have been extensively studied, sagittal plane deformities remain underexplored. This study addresses the anatomical variations in the sagittal plane associated with Kienböck's disease.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is widely used to treat severe aortic stenosis; however, periprocedural stroke remains a significant concern. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate whether the use of cerebral embolic protection devices (CEPDs) during TAVR reduces the risk of stroke and other complications. To conduct a network meta-analysis of relevant trials to assess the efficacy of CEPDs currently used in TAVR.

Background: Using mobile low-field MRI in the emergency department to detect cerebral infarction(s) in patients with minor ischemic stroke (MIS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) has not yet been thoroughly reported.
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the performance of mobile low-field (0.23T) MRI in detecting acute ischemic infarction in MIS or TIA patients within 72 hours of symptom onset and compare it to CT in those scanned within 24 hours.
