Usefulness of Ice Massage in Triggering the Swallow Reflex
In Japan, ice massage is widely used as the prefeeding technique to facilitate dry swallowing, to improve swallowing apraxia for initiating the swallowing action, and in daily swallowing training. In a crossover study, we evaluated the usefulness of ice massage for eliciting the swallowing response. The subjects were 24 dysphagic patients with stroke and cerebrovascular disease. We measured the latency between the command of dry swallowing and the triggering of the swallow reflex by videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing, with and without ice massage. When a subject could not swallow all the 4 trials we recorded wheth...

Is Early Clinical Evidence of Autonomic Shift Predictive of Infection after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Background: Autonomic shift (AS), characterized by increased sympathetic nervous system activation, has been implicated in neurologically mediated cardiopulmonary dysfunction and immunodepression after stroke. We investigated the prevalence of AS defined by readily available clinical parameters and determined the association of AS with subsequent infection in a cohort of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).Methods: Data were obtained from a single-center cohort study of aSAH patients admitted from January 1, 2007, through April 1, 2012. AS was defined as at least 1 early (

Investigation of the H reflexes, F waves and sympathetic skin response with electromyography (EMG) in patients with stroke and the determination of the relationship with functional capacity
Abstract The purpose of the study was to evaluate the relationship between sympathetic skin responses (SSR), electrodiagnostic reflex activities (F wave, H reflex), and functional capacity in post-stroke patients. The study comprised 40 hemiplegia patients (mean age 57.8 ± 10.9 years) and 40 healthy volunteers (mean age 557 ± 85 years). In electrophysiological studies, SSR, F wave and H reflex were evaluated and for the functional capacities of patients, FIM scores and Brunnstrom stages were calculated. There was no statistical significant difference between SSR latency and amplitude in the hemiplegic and ...

Public Review: The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD), Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) and Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) Common Data Elements (CDE) Recommendations (S25.004)
CONCLUSIONS: The NINDS encourages the use of the CDEs by the neurological clinical research community in order to standardize the collection of research data across studies. As the clinical research landscape changes, the CDEs will evolve in parallel. The CDE project ultimately will facilitate valuable research in the areas of many neurological diseases.

Cardiovascular autonomic control during sleep in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Background. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is associated with important cardiac autonomic changes. Cardiovascular autonomic control (CAC) varies across sleep stages, with a sympathetic predominance during REM and a vagal predominance during NREM sleep. However, no data are available on CAC in AIS patients during sleep. Therefore, aim of the study was to assess CAC during wake and different sleep stages in patients with AIS. Methods. Forty seven patients with a diagnosis of AIS were enrolled in the study.

ID 452 – Sympathetic skin response in stroke patients
Sympathetic dysfunction could lead to life-threatening complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the size, location, nature of the lesion, and the sympathetic skin response (SSR).Thirty patients with stroke and 30 healthy subjects were included in this study. All patients were investigated by using brain imaging and clinical scales. SSRs were elicited on four extremities in both groups. Latency and amplitude values of the responses were measured. In the patient group, SSR were analyzed both in the early (in the first month) and the late stages (one month later first recording) of the patients.

Higher cough flow is associated with lower risk of pneumonia in acute stroke
There is little available evidence to demonstrate how cough strength mediates the risk of aspiration-related pneumonia in acute stroke. Our secondary analysis of trial data indicates that risk of pneumonia reduces with increasing peak cough flow (PCF) of voluntary cough (OR 0.994 for each 1 L/min increase in PCF, 95% CI 0.988 to 1.0, p=0.035); and to a lesser degree with increasing PCF of reflex cough (OR 0.998 for each 1 L/min increase in PCF, 95% CI 0.992 to 1.004, p=0.475). These data serve hypothesis generation. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and validate their clinical utility. Clinical...

The Frequency and Risk Factors for Ischemic Stroke in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 Patients
Patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 have several cardiac abnormalities, especially myocardial conduction disorders. Few studies have investigated cerebral infarction. We investigated the frequency of both symptomatic and asymptomatic ischemic strokes in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1.

Correlation of Objective Pupillometry to Midline Shift in Acute Stroke Patients
Background: Pupillary dysfunction is recognized as a sign of acute neurological deterioration due to worsening mass effect in patients with hemispheric strokes. Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that horizontal displacement of brain structures may be more important than vertical displacement in explaining these pupillary findings. Pupillometers allow objective and standardized evaluation of the pupillary light reflex. We hypothesized that pupillary data (Neurological Pupil index [NPi] and constriction velocity [CV]) obtained with a hand-held pupilometer, correlate with horizontal intracranial midline shift in patients wi...

Blocking Hepatoma-Derived Growth Factor Attenuates Vasospasm and Neuron Cell Apoptosis in Rats Subjected to Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
This study explored the relationship between SAH and HDGF. Sixty rats were divided into five groups (n  = 12/group): (A) control group; (B) rHDGF ab only group [normal animals treated with 50 µM recombinant HDGF antibodies (rHDGF ab)]; (C) SAH group; (D) SAH + pre-rHDGF ab group (SAH animals pre-treated with 50 µM rHDGF ab into the subarachnoid space within 24 h before SAH); and (E) SAH  + post-rHDGF ab group (SAH animals post-treated with 50 µM rHDGF ab into the subarachnoid space within 24 h after SAH). At 48 h after SAH, serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were collected to measure the level...

Facial skin temperature in acute stroke patients with delirium - A pilot study
Facial skin temperature depends strongly on blood flow in small blood vessels in the skin. These are regulated by the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system. Delirium may pathophysiologically be associated to changes in the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system. In this observational study, we evaluated the influence of various exogenous and endogenous covariables on the regional facial temperatures in acute stroke patients with and without delirium. Facial thermography (FT) was performed using an infrared digital camera.

Clinical Implication of Corrective Saccades in the Video Head Impulse Test for the Diagnosis of Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Infarction
Conclusion: In the current study, we quantitatively investigated the VOR gain and CS using vHITs for three semicircular canals in PICA stroke and VN patients. In addition to VOR gain, quantitative assessments of CS using vHITs can provide sensitive and objective parameters to distinguish between peripheral and central vestibulopathies.
