Genetic and environmental risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage: preliminary results of a population-based study.

TLDR
In this paper, the authors report a preplanned, midpoint analysis of the first population-based, case-control study that examines both genetic and environmental risk factors of ICH.
Abstract
Background and Purpose— Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a 30-day mortality rate of 40% to 50% and lacks a proven treatment. We report a preplanned, midpoint analysis of the first population-based, case-control study that examines both genetic and environmental risk factors of ICH. Methods— We prospectively identified cases of hemorrhagic stroke at all 16 hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region. All cases underwent medical record and neuroimaging review. Cases enrolled in the direct interview and genetic sampling arm of the study were matched to population-based control subjects by age, race, and sex. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify significant independent risk factors. Results— We enrolled 188 cases of ICH (67 lobar, 121 nonlobar) and 366 control subjects in the direct interview arm of the study. Significant independent risk factors for lobar ICH included the presence of an apolipoprotein E2 or E4 allele, frequent alcohol use, prior stroke, and first-deg...

Mechanisms of brain injury after intracerebral haemorrhage

TL;DR: The coagulation cascade, haemoglobin breakdown products, and inflammation all play a part in ICH-induced injury and could provide new therapeutic targets and new therapeutic interventions for this severe form of stroke.

Prevalence and risk factors of cerebral microbleeds The Rotterdam Scan Study

TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that strictly lobar microbleeds are related to cerebral amyloid angiopathy, whereas microbleed in a deep or infratentorial location result from hypertensive or atherosclerotic microangiopathy.

Apolipoprotein E in sporadic Alzheimer's disease: Allelic variation and receptor interactions

TL;DR: Colocalization of ApoE and LRP to SPs implies that these molecules may be involved in metabolism of components of SPs, and it is suggested that SPs and reactive astrocytes were also strongly LRP immunoreactive in Alzheimer's disease.
