Expanding the Spectrum of Methylmalonic Acid-Induced Pallidal Stroke: First Reported Case of Metabolic Globus Pallidus Stroke in Transcobalamin II Deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 10-year-old boy with transcobalamin II (TCII) deficiency on oral cyanocobalamin therapy presented with acute right hemiparesis and sensory axonal neuropathy in the context of an intercurrent viral illness. MRI demonstrated unilateral globus pallidus stroke with normal MRA. Echocardiogram was

Stroke Prevention: A Lifetime of Lessons

Only registered users can translate articles

In 44 years of practicing stroke prevention, I have learned many lessons; in this article, I hope to impart some of them. Three areas of my research are discussed. Controlling resistant hypertension is markedly improved by physiologically individualized therapy based on renin/aldosterone

Folic Acid in Stroke Prevention in Countries without Mandatory Folic Acid Food Fortification: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Additional folic acid (FA) treatment appears to have a neutral effect on reducing vascular risk in countries that mandate FA fortification of food (e.g., USA and Canada). However, it is uncertain whether FA therapy reduces stroke risk in countries without FA food fortification. The purpose

B vitamins in stroke prevention: time to reconsider.

Only registered users can translate articles

B vitamin therapy lowers plasma total homocysteine concentrations, and might be a beneficial intervention for stroke prevention; however, cyanocobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) can accelerate decline in renal function and increase the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with impaired renal

Acute extrapyramidal syndrome in methylmalonic acidemia: "metabolic stroke" involving the globus pallidus.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report four patients with methylmalonic acidemia who developed acute extrapyramidal disease after metabolic decompensation. The neurologic findings resulted from bilateral destruction of the globus pallidus with variable involvement of the internal capsules. This complication was unrelated to a

Nutrition and Risk of Stroke.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nutrition is far more important in stroke risk than most physcians suppose. Healthy lifestyle choices reduce the risk of stroke by ~80%, and of the factors that increase the risk of stroke, the worst is diet: only ~0.1% of Americans consume a healthy diet, and only 8.3% consume a somewhat healthy

Metabolic vitamin B12 deficiency: a missed opportunity to prevent dementia and stroke.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this narrative review is to highlight insights into the importance and frequency of metabolic vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency, reasons why it is commonly missed, and reasons for the widespread but mistaken belief that treatment of B12 deficiency does not prevent stroke or improve

Homocysteine lowering for stroke prevention: Unravelling the complexity of the evidence.

Only registered users can translate articles

Elevated levels of total homocysteine impair endothelial dysfunction and increase thrombosis. Homocysteine is causal in animal models, and in human studies, elevated total homocysteine is significantly associated with carotid atherosclerosis, lacunar infarction, and markedly increased risk of stroke

B vitamins for stroke prevention.

Only registered users can translate articles

Supplementation with B vitamins (vitamin B9(folic acid), vitamin B12 and vitamin B6) lowers blood total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations by about 25% and reduces the relative risk of stroke overall by about 10% (risk ratio (RR) 0.90, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.99) compared with placebo.

Cardioembolic stroke: everything has changed.

Only registered users can translate articles

Historically, because of the difficulty of using warfarin safely and effectively, many patients with cardioembolic stroke who should have been anticoagulated were instead given ineffective antiplatelet therapy (or no antithrombotic therapy). With the arrival of new oral anticoagulants that are not

Advances in Stroke Prevention.

Only registered users can translate articles

There have been recent advances in stroke prevention in nutrition, blood pressure control, antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulation, identification of high-risk asymptomatic carotid stenosis, and percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale. There is evidence that the Mediterranean diet significantly

B vitamin therapy for homocysteine: renal function and vitamin B12 determine cardiovascular outcomes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Therapy to lower homocysteine with B vitamins does reduce the risk of stroke, if not myocardial infarction. The apparent lack of efficacy of vitamin therapy in most of the large clinical trials was probably determined by the failure to take account of the metabolic deficiency of vitamin B12, which

Modulation of mobile phase composition in flow-injection/sequential-injection chromatography exploiting multisyringe flow analysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this paper, a time-based multicommutated flow system is proposed for appropriate selection and modulation of mobile phase composition in flow-injection (FI)/sequential-injection (SI) chromatography. The novel flow assembly involves the on-line coupling of a short monolithic reversed-phase

The syndrome of food-cobalamin malabsorption revisited in a department of internal medicine. A monocentric cohort study of 80 patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND: To date, only case reports or small studies have documented the syndrome of food-cobalamin malabsorption in specific populations of patients or situations. In this paper, we present the data from 80 unselected patients with cobalamin deficiency related to food-cobalamin malabsorption.

Homocysteine and neurologic disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Over the last 10 years, there has been an explosion of interest in homocysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid that occupies a central location in the metabolic pathways of thiol compounds. This interest is primarily because of the realization that hyperhomocysteinemia is an important risk factor
