Predicting Stroke Recurrence: MRI Markers Outperform Location in Risk-Stratifying Patients with ICH and Atrial Fibrillation

A secondary analysis of the PRESTIGE-AF trial reveals that specific MRI markers, including cortical superficial siderosis and macrohemorrhages, are more potent predictors of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage than hematoma location alone, offering a path toward individualized anticoagulation strategies.

Edaravone Dexborneol Improves Functional Recovery Following Endovascular Thrombectomy: Primary Results from the TASTE-2 Trial

The multicenter TASTE-2 trial reveals that edaravone dexborneol significantly increases the likelihood of functional independence at 90 days for acute ischaemic stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy, particularly those presenting with a clinical-radiological mismatch, while maintaining a safety profile comparable to placebo.

Six Months of Intermittent Fasting: Potent Lipid Lowering but Limited Impact on Vascular and Glycemic Markers

A randomized controlled trial investigates the 6-month effects of intermittent fasting on overweight adults, revealing significant improvements in lipid profiles and body composition despite neutral effects on blood pressure and glucose metabolism, alongside novel transcriptomic insights into GLP-1 signaling.

Pre-Meal Whey Protein: A Targeted Nutritional Intervention to Mitigate Postprandial Hyperglycemia in Gestational Diabetes

A randomized controlled trial demonstrates that a 20g whey protein pre-load 30 minutes before breakfast significantly reduces postprandial glucose excursions and glycemic variability in women with gestational diabetes throughout the third trimester, offering a promising non-pharmacological management strategy.
