The correct recognition of the etiology of ischemic stroke (IS) allows tempestive interventions in therapy with the aim of treating the cause and preventing a new cerebral ischemic event. Nevertheless, the identification of the cause is often challen...

Pathophysiologic classification of ischemic stroke is essential to a personalized approach to stroke treatment. The Trial of Org 101072 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification is the most frequently used tool to classify index ischemic strok...

Background: Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a recognized precursor of stroke that also indicates a high risk of recurrence. The Hyperintense Acute Reperfusion Marker (HARM), which is linked to blood–brain barrier disruption, may serve as a n...

Identifying atherosclerotic disease is the mainstay for the correct diagnosis of the large artery atherosclerosis ischemic stroke subtype and for choosing the right therapeutic strategy in acute ischemic stroke. Classification into symptomatic and as...

We investigated the risk of ischemic stroke and its subtypes when red meat or poultry was substituted with fish. A total of 57,053 participants aged 50–65 years at baseline were included in the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health study. All particip...

Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) was proposed in 2014 as a clinical category to subgroup non-lacunar cryptogenic ischemic strokes that appear embolic but lack an identifiable cause despite thorough investigation. The initial hypothesis wa...

Models for determining contents of soy products in ground beef were developed using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Samples were prepared by mixing four kinds of soybean protein products (Arconet, toasted soy grits, Profam and textured vegetable pr...

Disparities in stroke may be due to socioeconomics, demographics, risk factors (RF) and ethnicity. Asian data are scant. This retrospective hospital-based study aimed to explore demographics, RF, stroke subtypes and mechanisms among the Chinese, Mala...

Background and Objectives: Semaphorins are immunoregulatory proteins involved in inflammation and neurovascular modulation. Their roles in ischemic stroke pathogenesis and prognosis have recently gained attention. This study aimed to evaluate serum l...

Recently, the authenticity of food products has become a great social concern. Considering the complexity of the food chain and that many players are involved between production and consumption; food adulteration practices are rising as it is easy to...

The maturation of distilled spirits in wooden barrels is a critical process that defines the sensory profile and quality of the final product, primarily through the release of polyphenols and flavonoids. In this study, the early extraction kinetics o...

Oak alternatives (OAs) such as chips, granulates or staves, are becoming increasingly used in the wine industry. Although they are mostly considered for their contribution to wine aroma, they are also a source of phenolic compounds to be released in...

Background/Objectives: The composition of the thrombus is not taken into account in the etiology determination of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS); however, it varies depending on the origin of the thrombus, as atherothrombotic thrombi conta...

The use of oak barrel alternatives, including oak chips, oak staves and oak powder, is quite common in the production of spirits obtained from the distillation of vegetal fermented products such as grape pomace. This work explored the use of unconven...

Introduction: Previous studies have reported sex differences in stroke. There are few Asian studies. This study was performed to investigate sex differences in stroke risk factors and mechanisms in a multi-ethnic Asian population. Methods: Data on pa...

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), an inflammatory marker, plays an important role in the inflammatory mechanisms of the pathophysiology and progression of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The aim of this study was to identify the potential factor...

The cortical hand knob region of the brain is a knob-like segment of the precentral gyrus, projecting into the middle genu of the central sulcus. This anatomic landmark is responsible for intricate control of hand motor movements and has often been i...

Underwater aging of alcoholic beverages has gained growing interest in recent years as a novel strategy for product differentiation. This study investigated the effects of 12 months of underwater aging at 13 m depth on the chemical, volatile, and phe...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to verify the value of collateral circulation and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in predicting clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and their biomarker value for stroke subtypes before en...

Background: Post-stroke hyperglycemia is a frequent finding in acute ischemic stroke patients and is associated with poor functional and cognitive outcomes. However, it is unclear as to whether the glycemic gap between the admission glucose and HbA1c...

Background: The purpose of this study is the evaluation of imaging findings of acute-phase cardiac CT (cCT) in stroke patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) to identify potential cardioembolic sources (CES) in patients without intracardiac thromb...

Women are known to have particular heterogeneity in stroke etiology related to childbearing and hormonal factors. Although there are continued acute stroke treatment advances focusing on clot dissolution or extraction, effective secondary prevention...
