Ischemic Stroke Alters the Expression of the Transcribed Ultraconserved Regions of the Genome in Rat Brain [Brief Report]
Conclusions—This first report shows that ischemic stroke temporally alters the noncoding ultraconserved RNAs in spontaneously hypertensive rats, but their functional significance is yet to be evaluated. (Source: Stroke)

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Does Not Improve Language Outcome in Subacute Poststroke Aphasia [Brief Report]
Background and Purpose—The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on word-finding treatment outcome in subacute poststroke aphasia.Methods—In this multi-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial with 6-month follow-up, we included 58 patients with subacute aphasia ( (Source: Stroke)

Eligibility for Endovascular Trial Enrollment in the 6- to 24-Hour Time Window [Brief Report]
Conclusions—Of all patients with acute ischemic stroke presenting to a single comprehensive stroke center, 1.7% of patients qualified for DAWN clinical trial enrollment with an additional 0.6% to 1% qualifying for the DEFUSE-3 trial. These data predict an increase in thrombectomy utilization with important implications for comprehensive stroke center resource optimization and stroke systems of care. (Source: Stroke)

Quantitative Arterial Tortuosity Suggests Arteriopathy in Children With Cryptogenic Stroke [Brief Report]
Conclusions—Pediatric cryptogenic stroke is frequently associated with cervicocerebral arteriopathies expressing altered QAT. QAT may be a diagnostic biomarker of arteriopathy in pediatric AIS. (Source: Stroke)

Minocycline Effects on Intracerebral Hemorrhage-Induced Iron Overload in Aged Rats [Basic Sciences]
This study quantified brain iron levels after ICH with magnetic resonance imaging R2* mapping. The effect of minocycline on iron overload and ICH-induced brain injury in aged rats was also determined.Methods—Aged (18 months old) male Fischer 344 rats had an intracerebral injection of autologous blood or saline, and brain iron levels were measured by magnetic resonance imaging R2* mapping. Some ICH rats were treated with minocycline or vehicle. The rats were euthanized at days 7 and 28 after ICH, and brains were used for immunohistochemistry and Western blot analyses. Magnetic resonance imaging (T2-weighted, T2* gradient-...

Risk Factors for Poststroke Cognitive Decline [Clinical Sciences]
Background and Purpose—Poststroke cognitive decline causes disability. Risk factors for poststroke cognitive decline independent of survivors’ prestroke cognitive trajectories are uncertain.Methods—Among 22 875 participants aged ≥45 years without baseline cognitive impairment from the REGARDS cohort (Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke), enrolled from 2003 to 2007 and followed through September 2015, we measured the effect of incident stroke (n=694) on changes in cognitive functions and cognitive impairment (Six-Item Screener score (Source: Stroke)

Atrial Cardiopathy and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke in the CHS (Cardiovascular Health Study) [Clinical Sciences]
Conclusions—In addition to clinically apparent AF, other evidence of abnormal atrial substrate is associated with subsequent ischemic stroke. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that thromboembolism from the left atrium may occur in the setting of several different manifestations of atrial disease. (Source: Stroke)

Improving Community Stroke Preparedness in the HHS (Hip-Hop Stroke) Randomized Clinical Trial [Clinical Sciences]
Background and Purpose—Deficiencies in stroke preparedness cause major delays to stroke thrombolysis, particularly among economically disadvantaged minorities. We evaluated the effectiveness of a stroke preparedness intervention delivered to preadolescent urban public school children on the stroke knowledge/preparedness of their parents.Methods—We recruited 3070 fourth through sixth graders and 1144 parents from 22 schools into a cluster randomized trial with schools randomized to the HHS (Hip-Hop Stroke) intervention or attentional control (nutrition classes). HHS is a 3-hour culturally tailored, theory-based, multime...
