Complex interplay of multiple biological systems that contribute to post-stroke infections
Publication date: May 2018Source: Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, Volume 70Author(s): Raymond Shim, Connie H.Y. WongAbstractStroke is a leading contributor of death and disability around the world. Despite its recognised debilitating neurological deficits, a devastating clinical complication of surviving stroke patients that needs more attention is infection. Up to half of the patients develop infections after stroke, and a high proportion of them will die as a direct consequence. Major clinical trials that examined preventive antibiotic therapy in stroke patients have demonstrated this method of prevention is not effective...

Startling acoustic stimuli can evoke fast hand extension movements in stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that startReact is intact in the hand following stroke. SIGNIFICANCE: An intact startReact response indicates that this reflex may be an attractive therapeutic target for initiating hand extension in stroke survivors. PMID: 25002367 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Author Response: Role Of Sleep-Disordered Breathing And Sleep-Wake Disturbances For Stroke And Stroke Recovery
Drs. Fuchs and Strasser raise the question of how the increased stroke incidence and disturbed stroke recovery that are observed both in patients with sleep-disordered breathing and sleep-wake disturbances are mediated. Increased stroke incidence may be due to excessive sympathetic activation that results in arterial hypertension, inflammation, and atherosclerosis.1 Conversely, disturbed stroke recovery and neuroplasticity might indeed result from disturbed tryptophan metabolism, as proposed by Drs. Fuchs and Strasser. Reduced formation of serotonin from tryptophan is well-known from inflammation-associated depression, whe...

Patellar tendon vibration reduces the increased facilitation from quadriceps to soleus in post-stroke hemiparetic individuals
Conclusions Patellar tendon vibration can reduce the facilitation between knee and ankle extensors, which suggests effective presynaptic inhibition but decreased post-activation depression in the lower limb of people after chronic hemiparetic stroke. Further studies are warranted to determine whether such vibration could be used to reduce the abnormal extension synergy of knee and ankle extensors in people after hemiparetic stroke.

Brain-Heart Interaction: Cardiac Complications After Stroke.
Abstract Neurocardiology is an emerging specialty that addresses the interaction between the brain and the heart, that is, the effects of cardiac injury on the brain and the effects of brain injury on the heart. This review article focuses on cardiac dysfunction in the setting of stroke such as ischemic stroke, brain hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The majority of post-stroke deaths are attributed to neurological damage, and cardiovascular complications are the second leading cause of post-stroke mortality. Accumulating clinical and experimental evidence suggests a causal relationship between brain damage...

Ischemic stroke induced myocardial dysfunction associated with nitro-oxidative stress and sympathetic overactivity
Publication date: April 2018Source: Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases Supplements, Volume 10, Issue 2Author(s): A. Méloux, E. Rigal, I. Porcherot, B. Mouhat, Y. Cottin, L. Rochette, Y. Bejot, C. Vergely-VandriesseComplex interactions exist between cerebro- and cardiovascular diseases: while cardiac diseases are risk factors for cerebral ischemia, ischemic stroke may reciprocally induce heart dysfunctions.The aim of this study was to evaluate how prior cerebrovascular lesions may affect myocardial function and which signals are involved in these processes.Cerebral embolization was performed in adult Wistar male rats by t...

Cough reflex testing in acute stroke: A survey of current UK service provision and speech and language therapist perceptions.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: This survey gives valuable insight into the current practice and perceptions of SLTs in the UK working in acute stroke settings in relation to CRT. It highlights discrepancies between reported approaches and recommendations from existing guidelines and validation studies. The variation in responses indicates a need to develop a consensus statement and further research to guide practice. What this study adds What is already known on the subject CRT is gaining popularity as a screening tool for the clinical identification of SA with acute stroke patients. However, there is a lack of consensus ...

Interactions between the Autonomic Nervous System and the Immune System after Stroke
Compr Physiol. 2022 Jun 29;12(3):3665-3704. doi: 10.1002/cphy.c210047.ABSTRACTAcute stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Stroke-induced immune-inflammatory response occurs in the perilesion areas and the periphery. Although stroke-induced immunosuppression may alleviate brain injury, it hinders brain repair as the immune-inflammatory response plays a bidirectional role after acute stroke. Furthermore, suppression of the systemic immune-inflammatory response increases the risk of life-threatening systemic bacterial infections after acute stroke. Therefore, it is essential to explore the ...
