Less common symptoms of stroke
1. Weakness of one side of face, arm or leg; and speech impairment are the commonest symptoms of stroke.
However, it is important to be aware of lesser known symptoms of stroke, so that an early diagnosis can be made.

2. Sudden onset Confusion- due to involvement of speech area (located in left side of brain) concerned with comprehension of spoken words. Patients are unable to appropriately respond to queries and keep talking something that doesn't make sense. (Sensory or Wernicke's aphasia).
3. Drooping of one eyelid and weakness of opposite side of body- occurs due to involvement of midbrain.
4. Dizziness, slurred speech, imbalance while walking- occurs due to involvement of brainstem+/- cerebellum (posterior circulation stroke)

Patients with Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have a higher risk of suffering a stroke
1. Persons with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis have an increased risk of developing thrombo-embolic events. A recently published study looked at the association between IBD & stroke. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

2. >85,000 patients with IBD were followed up long-term (1969-2019), and the risk of stroke in them was compared to those without IBD.
Patients with IBD had 14% higher risk of suffering from ischemic stroke during follow up.

An important teaching case
A 45 year old lady with significant vascular risk factors presented with hyperacute onset dimness in the L side of her field of vision, specially in the bottom half.
There is no other significant neurological or systemic hx.

There is no other significant neurological or systemic hx.
Clinical examination revealed only a BP - 150/90, R arm, sitting position with confrontation perimetry showing an incongruent, incomplete L sided homonymous hemianopia.
A homonymous hemianopia localizes posterior to the optic chiasma where the nasal hemiretinal fibers decussate.
A L sided HH localizes a lesion to the R post-chiasmatic visual pathway.
Incongruency argues for a relatively anterior localization of the lesion ie away from cortex.

2. Reliable improvement from depression was associated with a 12% decrease in incident risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at any given time, with similar results observed for coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and all-cause mortality (death).
3. Benefit was maximum in those aged 45-60 years. For this group, the improvement in depression was associated with a 15% decrease in cardiovascular diseases. In patients over 60 years of age, there was only a 6% decrease.

2/CT in acute stroke has 2 main purposes—(1) exclude intracranial hemorrhage (a contraindication to thrombolysis) & (2) exclude other pathologies mimicking acute stroke. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t see other findings that can help you diagnosis a stroke.
3/Infarct appearance depends on timing. In first 12 hrs, the most common imaging finding is…a normal head CT. However, in some, you see a hyperdense artery or basal ganglia obscuration. Later in the acute period, you see loss of gray white differentiation & sulcal effacement

Wood burning can cause cancer, esp lung cancer, respiratory disease, heart disease, dementia, premature death, & other health issues which are devastating. Wood burning emits more CO2 than gas. Inaction and silence on this affects everyone.
No laws to stop residential burning (fireplaces, fire pits, backyard burning, planned burns), & no public campaign on the dangers of residential burning means anyone can burn and emit smoke into your home. No action now, leaves you, the next generation, & environment unprotected

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and disability (the first two are heart attack and cancer). Treatment of #stroke is time-bound, and less than 10% of people receive the clot-buster drug therapy. Therefore, most people who survive a stroke are left with disabilities.
12 preventive strategies can be easily followed, and they have the potential to significantly reduce one's chances of suffering from stroke.
These are:
1. Sleep for 7-9 hours at nights;
2. 150 min of moderate-vigorous exercise per week;8000-10000 steps/day;

2. Short sleep (<5 hours), long sleep (>9 hours), impaired sleep quality, difficulty getting to sleep or maintaining sleep, unplanned napping, prolonged napping (>1 hour), snoring & breathing cessation (OSA) were all significantly associated with increased odds of acute stroke.
3. Short sleep (<5 h) was associated with a 3.1 times higher risk of stroke, and long sleep (>9 h) was associated with 2.7 times higher risk of stroke, as compared to those who slept 7 hours.
More the number of sleep disturbances, greater was the risk of stroke.

2/In up to 25% of acute stroke patients, the time of last known well is well, not known. Then it’s important to use the stroke’s MR imaging features to help date its timing. Is it hyperacute? Acute? Subacute? Or are the “stroke” symptoms from a seizure from their chronic infarct?
3/Strokes evolve, or grow old, the same way people evolve or grow old. The appearance of stroke on imaging mirrors the life stages of a person—you just have to change days for a stroke into years for a person. So 15 day old stroke has features of a 15 year old person, etc.
Lowering triglyceride with medicines does not result in better clinical outcome

3/The most important finding on imaging for dizziness is a stroke from vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI)
It's a relatively uncommon etiology of dizziness, but its prevalence increases in emergent/acute dizziness populations
Missed VBI can have profound consequences/morbidity.
It's a relatively uncommon etiology of dizziness, but its prevalence increases in emergent/acute dizziness populations
Missed VBI can have profound consequences/morbidity.
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a crucial defense mechanism for the brain, regulating the exchange of molecules between the bloodstream and the brain. When the BBB is disrupted, it can have severe consequences for brain health. (1/12)
Alzheimer's disease is one example of a condition that is exacerbated by BBB disruption. When the BBB is compromised, amyloid beta-peptide deposits can accumulate, leading to #inflammation and disruption of neuronal function. (2/12)
A disrupted BBB in #Alzheimers means astrocyte and microglia inflammation, disruption of synaptic transmission, and myelin destruction. (3/12)
