Age and gender differences in acute stroke hospital patients.
In conclusion, considerable differences were established between age and gender stroke patient groups, confirming the need of permanent national stroke registry and subsequent targeted action in secondary care, and prevention with education on risk factors, preferably personally tailored.

The complexities of pain after stroke--a review with a focus on central post-stroke pain.

Differences in the pre-hospital management of women and men with stroke by emergency medical services in New South Wales

Paramedics should receive training that improves the recognition of stroke symptoms in women.PMID:35831059 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.51652

Stroke in young adults and incidence rate in 280 patients according to their aetiological subtype.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke in young adults is infrequent (6.1% of the total), but represents the highest frequency of cerebral infarcts of unusual aetiology (36%). We conclude that stroke in younger patients presents its own and differentiated clinical profile. PMID: 26726109 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Nitric oxide donors (nitrates), L-arginine, or nitric oxide synthase inhibitors for acute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: There is currently insufficient evidence to recommend the use of NO donors, L-arginine or NOS-I in acute stroke, and only one drug (GTN) has been assessed. In people with acute stroke, GTN reduces blood pressure, increases heart rate and headache, but does not alter clinical outcome (all based on high-quality evidence).

Interventions for visual field defects in people with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a lack of evidence relating to the effect of interventions on our primary outcome of functional ability in activities of daily living. There is limited low-quality evidence that compensatory scanning training may be more beneficial than placebo or control at improving quality of life, but not other outcomes. There is insufficient evidence to reach any generalised conclusions about the effect of restitutive interventions or substitutive interventions (prisms) as compared to placebo, control, or no treatment. There is low-quality evidence that prisms may cause minor adverse events. PMID: 31120142 [...

Hemorrhagic Stroke Resulting From Venous Malformation at 20 Weeks of Pregnancy.
CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates the similarities between the perilous diagnosis of stroke and the more routine diagnosis of migraine. The case also highlights the need for caution and for a multidisciplinary treatment approach when the diagnosis of stroke is considered, particularly in the pregnant patient. PMID: 27999514 [PubMed]

Extended Risk Factors for Stroke Prevention.
Authors: Zhang S, Zhang W, Zhou G Abstract Stroke causes disability and high mortality, while it can be prevented by increasing public awareness of risk factors. The common known risk factors are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, smoking, alcohol consumption, low physical activity, overweight and hypercholesterolemia. However, the deep understanding of risk factors is limited. Moreover, more risk factor emerges in recent years. To further increase the awareness of risk factors for stroke prevention, this review indicates the reasonable application of antihypertensive agents according to the age-depe...
