Similarly, apical MI location was not associated with any cerebral infarction (OR 2.63, 95% CI, 0.78-8.87), but was associated with cortical cerebral infarction (OR, 3.67; 95% CI, 1.19-11.33). Among patients with MI on cardiac MRI, both size and apical location of MI were associated with cortical cerebral infarction. Our results may help stratify cardioembolic risk and inform antithrombotic treatment algorithms among patients with MI.

This agent has been previously detected in buffaloes and goats co-grazed with cattle in Brazil. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of A. marginale in a multispecies (goats, sheep and cattle) grazing farm in the State of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. A total of 119 goats, 71 sheep, and five cattle were evaluated. An epidemiological questionnaire was applied to the farm owner addressing age, gender, and presence of ticks. Serum samples from goat, sheep and cattle were tested for anti-Anaplasma marginale antibodies by a commercial MSP5-based on indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). EDTA-blood samples were screened for A. marginale- and A. ovis-infection by PCR using primers targeting Anaplasma spp. msp4 gene. Sequencing of the repeat region of the msp1α gene was used for genotyping A. marginale strains found in the present study. A total of 47/119 (39.5 %, 95 % CI 31.1-48.4 %) goats and 2/71 (3%, 95 % CI 0.7-9.7 %) sheep wer
