Evaluating Stroke Risk in Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: Transcarotid Artery Revascularization versus Carotid Artery Stenting

This comparative analysis assesses ischemic stroke outcomes in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis undergoing transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) versus carotid artery stenting (CAS), highlighting no significant difference in stroke risk between the two interventions over four years.

Early Life Vascular Risk and Midlife Markers of Brain Aging: Insights from Longitudinal Neuroimaging and Cognitive Trajectory Studies

This review synthesizes longitudinal evidence linking early adulthood vascular risks, particularly elevated systolic blood pressure and smoking, to midlife cognitive decline and brain structural alterations. It highlights critical intervention windows and neuroimaging biomarkers indicative of cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative injury.

Differential Physical Activity Responses to Diabetes Risk Reduction Interventions According to Prediabetes Phenotype: Insights from Pooled Randomized Controlled Trials

The effectiveness of lifestyle interventions promoting physical activity for diabetes risk reduction varies by prediabetes phenotype, with individuals having impaired fasting glucose showing the least response. Tailored approaches may enhance prevention outcomes.
