Importance of Retesting for the Final Diagnosis of Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment
Conclusions: We established the prevalence of CogI and its course after 6 months in a well-defined group of patients after a mild ischaemic stroke (mean NIHSS: 2 and mean mRS: 1 at the discharge). Our results show that the prevalence of CogI after an ischaemic stroke at discharge is relatively high (74%), and it tends to be a spontaneous reduction. Cognitive functions were changed in 35% of patients. The definition of PSCI was completed in only 24% of individuals. Only an examination several months after a stroke can give us more accurate information about the true prevalence of persistent CogI after a stroke.PMID:36984638...

Prevalent stroke, age of its onset, and post-stroke lifestyle in relation to dementia: A prospective cohort study
DISCUSSION: Stroke onset in earlier life stage predicted a higher risk for dementia, but a favorable post-stroke lifestyle may protect against dementia.PMID:37157186 | DOI:10.1002/alz.13122

Stroke Outcome, Functionality and Health Care Resource Utilization among Elderly (P02.024)
CONCLUSIONS: Identifying factors that impact stroke outcome, may reduce unwanted investigations, decrease the length of hospital stay and lead to proper utilization of hospital resources which in turn could be used for improvement in the functional state of patients.Disclosure: Dr. Samavedam has nothing to disclose.

Brainstem infarcts predict REM sleep behavior disorder in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusions: The results support the notion of a predominant role of brainstem injury in the development of RBD and suggest that patients with brainstem infarcts RBD should be evaluated by a clinical neurologist.

Stroke Findings in the Women's Health Initiative
Semin Reprod Med 2014; 32: 438-446DOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1384627The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trials of estrogen with or without progestin versus placebo in 27,341 postmenopausal women are the largest randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials to look at the effect of hormone therapy on the outcomes of stroke, dementia, and cognition. Data from a parallel prospective observational study of 93,676 women examine biomarkers and risk factors associated with stroke. We summarize the results of 29 published articles in the WHI with stroke or cognition as outcomes of interest. Estrogen alone or in co...

Rationale, design and methodology of the image analysis protocol for studies of patients with cerebral small vessel disease and mild stroke
We present a protocol for the differential assessment of imaging markers of small vessel disease (SVD), which operationalizes the recommendations from the STandards for ReportIng Vascular changes on nEuroimaging guidelines. Final outcomes include guidance for identifying ways to minimize bias and confounds in the assessment of SVD and stroke imaging biomarkers. It is intended that this information will inform the design of studies to examine the underlying pathophysiology of SVD and stroke, and to provide reliable, quantitative outcomes in trials of new therapies and preventative strategies.

Are stroke survivors with delirium at higher risk of post‐stroke dementia? Current evidence and future directions
ConclusionsThere is a need for further studies to investigate the association of post‐stroke delirium and dementia using well‐defined cohorts of patients and controlling for factors such as pre‐stroke cognition, stroke severity and location and the presence of persistent delirium. Such studies will help understand the place of delirium identification and prevention in reducing the risk of dementia after stroke. © 2016 The Authors International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd

Are migraine and non‐migrainous headache risk factors for stroke in the elderly? Findings from a 12‐year cohort follow‐up
ConclusionsThis study is one of the first to suggest that late‐life NMH rather than migraine could be an independent risk factor for stroke and a warning sign. The incidence of stroke in elderly migrainers, seldom reported, is particularly low.

Relations between Recent Past Leisure Activities with Risks of Dementia and Cognitive Functions after Stroke

Lam, Lisa Au, Anne Y. Y. Chan, Yannie Soo, Thomas W. H. Leung, Lawrence K. S. Wong, Linda C. W. Lam, Vincent C. T. Mok Background Leisure activity participation has been shown to lower risks of cognitive decline in non-stroke populations. However, effects of leisure activities participation upon cognitive functions and risk of dementia after stroke are unclear. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of recent past lei...

Depression, stroke, and dementia in patients with myocardial infarction.
In conclusion, we found that preceding depression was associated with moderately increased mortality after MI, and that 
was associated with an increased risk of stroke and vascular dementia, but not dementia from other causes. PMID: 29619929 [PubMed - in process]

Stroke, Cerebrovascular Diseases and Vascular Cognitive Impairment in Africa.
Abstract With increased numbers of older people a higher burden of neurological disorders worldwide is predicted. Stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases do not necessarily present with different phenotypes in Africa but their incidence is rising in tandem with the demographic change in the population. Age remains the strongest irreversible risk factor for stroke and cognitive impairment. Modifiable factors relating to vascular disease risk, diet, lifestyle, physical activity and psychosocial status play a key role in shaping the current spate of stroke related diseases in Africa. Hypertension is the strongest m...
