Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin B 12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinaemia in outpatients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack: a cohort study at an academic medical centre.
Shamon Ahmed,Chrysi Bogiatzi,Daniel G. Hackam,Angela C. Rutledge,Luciano A. Sposato,Alexander V. Khaw,Jennifer Mandzia,Mahmoud Reza Azarpazhoo,Vladimir Hachinski,J. David Spence +9 more
TL;DR: Despite a decline in the referral area since 2009, B12Def, MetB12Def and HHcy remain common in patients with stroke/TIA, and all patients with Stroke and TIA should have their serum B12 and tHcy measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation linked to wake-up stroke and TIA: Hypothetical implications
Patricia M. Riccio,Francisco Klein,Fatima Pagani Cassara,Francisco Muñoz Giacomelli,Maria Gonzalez Toledo,Juan M. Racosta,Matías Delfitto,Eleanor S. Roberts,M. Cecilia Bahit,Luciano A. Sposato +9 more
TL;DR: An independent association was found between newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation and wake-up ischemic stroke and TIA and the role of other comorbidities should be investigated in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison between the MoCA and the MMSE visuoexecutive sub-tests in detecting abnormalities in TIA/stroke patients.
TL;DR: All three of the Montreal cognitive assessment visuoexecutive sub-tests detected more abnormalities than the mini-mental state examination pentagon copying and thus contributed to the over 10-fold superiority of Montreal cognitive Assessment over the mini’s mental state examination for detection of visuo Executive dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-ever ischemic stroke and increased risk of incident heart disease in older adults.
Luciano A. Sposato,Melody Lam,Britney Allen,Lucie Richard,Salimah Z. Shariff,Gustavo Saposnik +5 more
TL;DR: In this large population-based study, ischemic stroke was independently associated with increased risk of incident MACE, whether this association is explained by stroke-associated cardiac injury, preexisting subclinical cardiovascular comorbid conditions, or both remains unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Right Insular Involvement on Death and Functional Outcome After Acute Ischemic Stroke in the IST-3 Trial (Third International Stroke Trial)
Luciano A. Sposato,Geoffrey Cohen,Joanna M. Wardlaw,Peter Sandercock,Richard I. Lindley,Vladimir Hachinski +5 more
TL;DR: An association between right insular involvement and higher odds of death and worse functional outcome is found and the difference between right- and left-sided insular lesions on outcomes seemed to be most evident for mild/moderate strokes.
