Background— Stroke incidence is greater in blacks than whites; data on Hispanics are limited. Comparing subtype-specific ischemic stroke rates may help to explain race-ethnic differences risk. The aim of this population-based study was determine subtype for whites, blacks, and living one community. Methods Results— A comprehensive surveillance system incorporating multiple overlapping strategies used identify all cases first occurring between July 1, 1993, June 30, 1997, northern Manhattan....
ObjectiveTo report four patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who developed posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).MethodsPatient data was abstracted from medical records at Weill Cornell Medical Center.ResultsFour SARS-CoV-2 infection and PRES were identified. The patients' ages ranged 64 to 74 years, two women. All admitted the hospital acute respiratory distress requiring intensive care unit admission mechanical ventilation. diagnosed after persistent confusion,...
Introduction: Facilitating evidence-based uptake of new medication regimens for disease prevention is a well-recognized public health challenge. Using data from GWTG-Stroke, researchers previously reported that, after minor ischemic stroke (NIHSS 0-3), the use aspirin-clopidogrel highly variable despite guideline recommendations. We sought to explore potential changes in dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) patients with moderate 4-5) publication THALES (The Acute Stroke or Transient Ischemic...
Background and Objective . Lateropulsion after stroke has not been tracked using a case-matched controlled study standardized lateropulsion scale. Matched pairs of patients with stroke, without lateropulsion, were compared for functional outcomes discharge destination following inpatient rehabilitation. Methods. A retrospective chart review ischemic at an rehabilitation hospital matched 36 versus lateropulsion. Scores 2 or greater on the Burke Scale identified Matching criteria side sex,...
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a distinctive phenotype associated with an increased risk of vascular disease. Carotid plaque surrogate marker subclinical atherosclerosis and powerful predictor outcomes. relationship between the MetS in multiethnic populations has not been well characterized. authors have evaluated association among 1895 community residents from Northern Manhattan Study (mean age, 68.0±9.7 years; 59% women; 25% black; 22% white; 51% Hispanic). prevalence was 41% (35% men,...
<i>Background:</i> Dietary fat intake is associated with coronary heart disease risk, but the relationship between and ischemic stroke risk remains unclear. We hypothesized that total dietary as part of a Western diet increased stroke. <i>Methods:</i> As prospective Northern Manhattan Study, 3,183 stroke-free community residents over 40 years age underwent evaluation their medical history had assessed by food-frequency survey. Cox proportional hazard models calculated...
Rates of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after high-risk transient ischemic attack or minor stroke (TIAMIS) are suboptimal. We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis to characterize the parameters quality improvement (QI) intervention designed increase DAPT use TIAMIS.

Background: Continued smoking after stroke is associated with a high risk of recurrence and other cardiovascular disease. We sought to comprehensively understand the epidemiology cessation in survivors United States. Furthermore, we compared cancer because another smoking-related condition which prioritized. Methods: performed cross-sectional analysis data from Centers for Disease Control Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, an annual, nationally representative health...
A 52-year-old previously healthy man presented with 8 months of progressive cognitive decline. He complained confusion, fatigue, depression, hypersomnolence, headaches, and, subsequently, urinary incontinence and unsteady gait. His family reported that he spoke his deceased mother as if she were alive. executive deficits progressed, leading to termination employment a motor vehicle accident. was evaluated treated in Morocco before presenting our institution for further care.
Infertility treatment with assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) has been associated adverse vascular events in some but not all previous studies. Endothelial damage, prothrombotic factor release, and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors those receiving ART have invoked to explain this association. We sought explore the relationship between stroke using population-level data.
Identifying patients with acute brain injury among who present to the Emergency Department (ED) severe hypertension can be challenging. We explored rates of in a cohort ED whom target-organ damage was or not initially suspected.
OBJECTIVE: To describe a rare case of thrombosis benign developmental venous anomaly after starting fingolimod. BACKGROUND: A angioma is considered benign. There are only several reports prior thrombosis, one in woman postpartum, on BCP who smoked. We report an unusual complication the patient DESIGN/METHODS: Case Report RESULTS: KU, 34-year-old female fitness trainer, with mild left lower extremity weakness and intermittent back spasms since previous year presented to JJMS center...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To demonstrate the impact of a Care Transitions Clinic (CTC) for patients with Stroke/TIA. <h3>Background:</h3> Patients seen in ER and hospital stroke/TIA have variable ambulatory follow-up. We implemented protocol timely, evidence-based follow-up care. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> conducted retrospective review CTC from November 2021-August 2022. The clinic serves within 3 weeks hospital/ER discharge our main campus community affiliate. Persons established neurologists...
Studies have suggested that a high intake of saturated fat increases the risk for heart disease, whereas diets rich in monounsaturated and
Introduction: Black Americans face a higher risk of recurrent stroke than White Americans, and the reasons are unclear. Smoking after is associated with recurrence. We investigated whether there racial disparities in smoking cessation among survivors United States. Methods: performed cross-sectional analysis data from Centers for Disease Control Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, an annual, nationally representative health survey. Respondents asked about medical...
