Quality of Life Predictors in Chronic Stable Post-Stroke Patients and Prognostic Value of SF-36 Score as a Mortality Surrogate
In conclusion, anxiety, depression, and raised brain natriuretic peptide levels were the most important covariates of impaired QoL in post-stroke patients. Moreover, a decreased SF-36 score (≤40) represents an independent surrogate of increased additive mortality risk.

Lacunar Infarcts, Depression, and Anxiety Symptoms One Year after Stroke
Mood disorders are frequent after stroke and are associated with poorer quality of life. Previous studies have reported conflicting results as to stroke subtype in the incidence of poststroke mood disorders. We explored the relationship between subcortical ischemic stroke subtype (lacunar) and presence of such symptoms at 1 year after stroke.

Have clinicians adopted the use of brain MRI for patients with TIA and minor stroke?
Conclusions: Within a national health system, about 40% of patients with TIA/minor stroke had MRI performed within 2 days. Performance of MRI appeared to be influenced by several patient and facility-level variables, suggesting that there has been partial acceptance of the previous guideline that endorsed MRI for patients with TIA.

Predictors of Anxiety after Stroke: A Systematic Review of Observational Studies
Anxiety disorders or symptoms are relatively common after stroke. A better understanding of the predictors of anxiety in stroke patients may improve the management of these disorders. The current review was conducted to determine the predictors of anxiety after stroke.

Anxiety and working memory after stroke: implications for norm-referenced methods of identifying cognitive deficits
It is well established that stroke can result in impairments of cognitive functioning, particularly early after stroke onset.1 These cognitive impairments have a negative impact on activities of daily living,2 and are associated with lower mood and poorer quality of life.3 Improvement of cognitive functioning is therefore an important goal of rehabilitation. In clinical settings, the presence of cognitive impairment is usually determined by means of standardised psychometric assessment. A patient's cognitive test performance is compared to the performance of a non-stroke control group on the same test(s). The most appropri...

Factors Associated with Poststroke Fatigue: A Systematic Review.
Authors: Ponchel A, Bombois S, Bordet R, Hénon H Abstract Background. Poststroke fatigue (PSF) is a frequent, disabling symptom that lacks a consensual definition and a standardized evaluation method. The (multiple) causes of PSF have not been formally characterized. Objective. To identify factors associated with PSF. Method. A systematic review of articles referenced in MEDLINE. Only original studies having measured PSF and potentially associated factors were included. Data was extracted from articles using predefined data fields. Results. Although PSF tends to be more frequent in female patients and older patien...

SIRT1: The Value of Functional Outcome, Stroke-Related Dementia, Anxiety, and Depression in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Background: The outcome of ischemic stroke depends on multiple factors and their function of each other. Studies have shown that Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) plays a chief role in the key procedure during ischemia/hypoxia by protecting against cellular stress and controlling the metabolic pathways. Aims: To explore the alterations in serum SIRT1 concentrations in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and the relationship between SIRT1 and poststroke dementia, anxiety, and depression. Methods: One hundred and twenty four consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed AIS were recruited to participate in the study.

The Influence of Stroke Location on Cognitive and Mood Impairment. A Voxel-Based Lesion-Symptom Mapping Study
Background and purpose: The role of stroke location as a determinant of mood and cognitive symptoms is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to identify the predictive value of ischemic stroke location, on a voxel basis, for mood and cognitive outcome. Materials and methods: A prospective monocentric study including patients with a supratentorial ischemic stroke was conducted. A 3 Tesla brain MRI was performed at baseline. Mood and cognition were assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD), apathy inventory (AI), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale subscores, performed at 3 months poststroke.

A Retrospective Study to Identify Novel Factors Associated with Post-stroke Anxiety
Post-stroke anxiety (PSA) and depression (PSD) constitute critical complications of stroke.1 Evidence suggests that an estimated 18% to 25% of stroke patients develop significant and persistent PSA, which is associated with co-morbid psychological stress (eg, depression) and debilitating consequences (eg, diminished quality of life).1-3 PSD, female sex, and cognitive impairment are factors commonly reported to be significantly associated with PSA.4 While there is a growing body of literature about familiar factors associated with PSA, most studies were conducted in relatively racially and ethnically homogenous populations.

Factors influencing employment after minor stroke and NSTEMI
Aim: To study the effect of cognitive function, fatigue and emotional symptoms on employment after a minor ischemic stroke compared to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Material and methods: We included 217 patients with minor ischemic stroke and 133 NSTEMI patients employed at baseline aged 18 –70 years. Minor stroke was defined as modified Rankin scale (mRS) 0–2 at day seven or at discharge if before. Included NSTEMI patients had the same functional mRS. We applied a selection of cognitive tests and the patients completed questionnaires measuring symptoms of anxiety, depression and f atigue at follow up.

In Elderly Treated With Antipsychotics, Stroke Risk Newly Linked To Specific Drug Actions
Antipsychotic administration in the elderly is associated with an increased risk for cerebrovascular accident, more commonly known as stroke; a new study published in Biological Psychiatry provides additional insight into this important relationship. Antipsychotics are prescribed to elderly patients to treat symptoms such as agitation, psychosis, anxiety, insomnia, and depression. The increased risk of stroke associated with these medications was identified approximately a decade ago and has since been replicated by subsequent studies...

Vitamin B may reduce risk of stroke
Researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests vitamin B supplements could help to reduce the risk of stroke, according to a study published in the journal Neurology. Vitamin B supplements are said to be beneficial for many health issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease. However, according to Xu Yuming of Zhengzhou University in Zhengzhou, China, previous studies have conflicting findings regarding the use of vitamin B supplements and stroke or heart attack...

Stroke risks increase with high levels of anxiety
The negative health effects of anxiety, such as increased coronary heart disease risks, have long been documented and accepted in the medical community. But now, research suggests that individuals with high levels of anxiety have an increased risk for stroke.The researchers, who are from the University of Pittsburgh, published the results of their study in the journal Stroke.They say that anxiety disorders - characterized by fear, unease and worry - impact nearly 20% of US adults each year and often last for at least 6 months.
