Clinical Study on the Association Between Lipoprotein(a) Levels and Prognosis in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Elevated lipoprotein(a) is independently associated with poor 3‐month outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. Combining Lp(a) with NIHSS improves prognostic accuracy. ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a known cardiovascular risk factor, but its role in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) prognosis remains unclear. This study investigated the association

Patent foramen ovale and stroke: prognosis and treatment in young adults. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is found with increased frequency in patients with stroke of undetermined origin but the significance and therapeutic implications of this observation remain unclear.

Forecasting Vascular Risk Factors in Young Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Two‐Decade Perspective From Spain

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using the Spanish Minimum Basic Data Set (2000–2022), 57,427 young adults (18–50 years) hospitalized with ischemic stroke were analyzed. Incidence increased from 7 to 15 per 100,000 population, accompanied by marked rises in obesity (5.2% → 15.2%), illicit substance use (1% → 13.5%), and cardiac comorbidities. Short‐term forecasts (2023–2027) suggest a

Associating cryptogenic ischemic stroke in the young with cardiovascular risk factor phenotypes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) in the young is increasing in prevalence and the largest subtype within this cohort is cryptogenic. To curb this trend, new ways of defining cryptogenic stroke and associated risk factors are needed.

Clinical Outcomes and Non‐Invasive Testing in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatohepatitis With Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with cirrhosis lacks definitive treatments and poses an increasing healthcare burden globally. We undertook a systematic literature review (SLR) to better understand the disease burden in cirrhosis due to MASH.

Atrial high-rate episodes and stroke prevention. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
While the benefit of oral anticoagulants (OACs) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is well established, it is not known whether oral anticoagulation is indicated in patients with atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE) recorded on a

Diagnosis and Management of Patent Foramen Ovale for Stroke Prevention: An Australian and New Zealand Consensus Statement Developed by a Modified Nominal Group Approach

open access: yesMedical Journal of Australia, Volume 224, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is implicated in 25%–50% of cryptogenic strokes in patients aged < 60 years. Recent clinical trials demonstrated the benefit of PFO closure in selected patients. However, there is considerable variability in Australian and New Zealand clinical practice regarding investigation and management approaches. A

Diagnostic Utility of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Identifying Atrial Fibrillation Post-Cryptogenic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesPathophysiology
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly contributes to acute ischemic stroke, with undetected AF being a common culprit in cryptogenic strokes.

CT angiography of the aorta is superior to transesophageal echocardiography for determining stroke subtypes in patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: The etiology of ischemic strokes remains cryptogenic in about one third of patients, even after extensive workup in specialized centers. Atherosclerotic plaques in the aorta can cause thromboembolic events but are often overlooked.

Genetic Diagnosis and Discovery Enabled by Large Language Models

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
We demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) can facilitate genetic diagnosis and discovery. LLMs were used to solve four types of genetic problems of sequentially increased complexity. An LLM‐based pipeline could analyze genetic variants in the genomic sequences of human hearing loss or rare genetic disease patients and assist in identifying ...
