Cognitive Deficits in Chronic Stroke Patients: Neuropsychological Assessment, Depression, and Self-Reports
Conclusion: Cognitive impairment occurs frequently even in patients in a chronic phase after stroke and predicts symptoms of depression. Using the Stroke Impact Scale, clinicians should be aware of low sensitivity of self-reported cognitive function.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:283 –296

The relation between insulin ‐like growth factor 1 levels and risk of depression in ischemic stroke
ConclusionThe data showed that low serum IGF‐1 levels at admission are associated with a high risk of developing PSD, suggesting that these alterations might be involved in the pathophysiology of depression symptoms in stroke patients.

Racial/Ethnic Differences in Expectations Regarding Aging Among Older Adults.
This study uses baseline demographic, age-expectation, social, and health data from 229 racial/ethnic minority seniors in a stroke-prevention intervention trial. Unadjusted regression models and pair-wise comparisons tested for racial/ethnic differences in age-expectations, overall, and across domain subscales (e.g., physical-health expectations). Adjusted regression models tested whether age-expectations differed across racial/ethnic groups after controlling for demographic, social, and health variables. Regression and negative binomial models tested whether age-expectations were consistently associated with health and we...

Nonpharmacological Treatments for Post-Stroke Depression: An Integrative Review of the Literature
<p>Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and the number one cause of long-term disability. Seventy-five percent of annual stroke victims are older than 65. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common consequence of stroke, with the estimated prevalence ranging from 25% to 79%. Although several studies have investigated the impact of pharmacological interventions on PSD, there is a significant gap in knowledge regarding the efficacy of nonpharmacological measures for treatment of PSD. The purpose of the current integrative literature review was to synthesize the state of knowledge on selected nonpharmacological trea...

Associations of Tumor Necrosis Factor- Α and Interleukin-1Β Levels and Polymorphisms with Post-Stroke Depression
• Serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels play an important role in the risk of PSD during the acute phase of stroke• The association of TNF-α and IL-1β levels with PSD at 2 weeks differed according to genotype• TNF-α and IL-1β levels may be useful as diagnostic biomarkers

Associations of Tumor Necrosis Factor –α and Interleukin-1β Levels and Polymorphisms with Post-Stroke Depression
Depression frequently occurs in patients with stroke.1 This common comorbidity may be due to the shared biological etiologies of the two disorders, one of which is referred to as the cytokine hypothesis.2 Stroke induces inflammatory reactions, including changes in cytokine activity.3 Proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α, interleukin (IL)-1, and IL-6, have been implicated in the initiation and/or amplification of the inflammatory response during acute stroke pathophysiology.

Lower likelihood of falling at age 90+ is associated with daily exercise a quarter of a century earlier: The 90+ Study
Conclusions and Relevancefalls are extremely common among the oldest-old and a significant proportion lead to severe injury. This work is the first to show an association between exercise at age 60 –70s and lower risk of falling at age 90+.
