Understanding the Relationship Between Cerebrovascular Disease and the Gut Microbiome

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Among other potential contributors to atheroma formation and cerebrovascular disease, the gut microbiome has become increasingly implicated as a mediator of vascular risk. Several of these toxic metabolites, including trimethylamine and trimethylamine Noxide, have been extensively studied in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract WP222: Basilar Artery Stenosis in Children With Moyamoya

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Moyamoya is a progressive cerebrovascular disease characterized by stenosis of the cerebral arteries in the anterior circulation and less often the posterior circulation. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP222-AWP222, February 1, 2024. The median time from diagnosis was 0 years (IQR 0, 1.3).

Abstract WP394: Homocysteine induces neurovascular injury and increases BBB permeability

Stroke Journal

Background:Our recently reported that patent foramen ovale (PFO) shunt enables the elevation of total homocysteine (tHcy) in patients circulation (Deng, Neurology 2021). Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP394-AWP394, February 1, 2025. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of how tHcy causes PFO-related injury is unclear.

Abstract 78: Evaluation of AneuScreenTM, a Blood-Based Gene Expression Diagnostic for Intracranial Aneurysm

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Intracranial aneurysm (IA), a cerebrovascular disease affecting 3-5% of US population, leads to subarachnoid hemorrage. This demonstrates the potential of using circulating blood to screen for IA presence. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A78-A78, February 1, 2025.

Chromosome 10q24.32 Variants Associate With Brain Arterial Diameters in Diverse Populations: A Genome?Wide Association Study

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundBrain arterial diameters (BADs) are novel imaging biomarkers of cerebrovascular disease, cognitive decline, and dementia. Brain arterial diameters for 13 segments were measured and averaged to obtain a global measure of BADs as well as the posterior and anterior circulations.
