Ischemic strokes account for 87% of acute strokes, and 12% of patients with acute ischemic stroke have recurrence within 5 years. After an acute ischemic stroke is identified, several tools can be used to help detect the likely cause. Controlling cardiovascular risk factors with antihypertensive therapy (with a goal of 130/80 mm Hg), statin therapy, blood glucose control, healthy diet, regular exercise, avoidance of substance use, treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, if present, and care based on the cause of stroke reduces the risk of recurrence. Antithrombotic therapy with anticoagulants is recommended for embolic stroke due to atrial fibrillation; antiplatelet therapy is more commonly used for the treatment of nonembolic stroke. Procedural management for those with carotid stenosis or closure of patent foramen ovale may be indicated. Additional evaluation, such as long-term cardiac monitoring to identify initially undetected atrial fibrillation, may be required if the cause of stroke is unclear.

Newborn respiratory distress is one of the most common reasons for neonatal intensive care admission at birth. If not diagnosed and managed appropriately, newborn respiratory distress can progress to cardiopulmonary collapse and death. Presenting symptoms of respiratory distress consist of increased work of breathing (eg, grunting, nasal flaring, cyanosis, retractions, respiratory rate greater than 60 breaths/min [tachypnea]). The most common cause of respiratory distress at term is transient tachypnea of the newborn. Other causes include respiratory distress syndrome, meconium aspiration syndrome, pneumonia, and sepsis. Less common causes are pneumothorax, congenital heart disease, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Physicians attending deliveries should be familiar with current neonatal resuscitation guidelines. If respiratory distress does not resolve after stabilization in the delivery room, chest radiography, supplemental oxygen, and appropriate laboratory tests (eg, complete blood cell count, blood cultures, C-reactive protein, blood gas measurement) should be considered. The Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator can help guide decision-making for neonates who may require antibiotic therapy.
