Variation in Knowledge of Stroke Warning Signs by Age and Presence of Conventional Risk Factors: A Community Health Survey in Korea

Differences Between New Immigrants From the Former Soviet Union and Veteran Residents in Knowledge, Perception, and Risk Factors of Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Veteran residents showed lower levels of knowledge about stroke. Educational campaigns aimed at increasing knowledge of stroke among Israel's general population in Israel, as well as culturally targeting specific subgroups, are recommended.

Stroke among African‐Caribbean women: lay beliefs of risks and causes
ConclusionAlternative explanations of the causes of stroke that include witchcraft, or wishing someone wrong suggests a lack of perceived control over stroke. This may suggest a focus on less visible risk factors such as hypertension, familial history or diabetes and will need inclusion in health promotion materials. Lay beliefs such as witchcraft can co‐exist amicably alongside modern medicine, as long as they do not hinder access to medication, treatment or risk factor management of stroke. Relevance to clinical practiceThe results demonstrated that nursing care and health promotion materials should emphasise on obesit...

Smell and taste dysfunction following minor stroke: a case report.
Authors: Green TL, McGregor LD, King KM Abstract Smell (olfactory) and taste (gustatory) are key senses in the regulation of nourishment and individual safety. Olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions have been infrequently reported together in patients following stroke (Landis et al., 2006; Leopold et al., 2006). This case report details two patients who experienced smell and taste dysfunction following minor stroke events. Symptoms reported included hyposmia (diminished sense of smell) and anosmia (complete loss of smell), and dysgeusia (distorted taste). Patients' sense of smell and taste were assessed in an ambulat...

Retrospective Study on National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale as a Predictor of Patient Recovery After Stroke
Conclusions: In our community hospital setting, the NIHSS score was found to be a strong predictor of patient recovery after stroke. The NIHSS score at baseline may be important for clinicians to consider before patient management decisions and counseling.

Association of cardiovascular emerging risk factors with acute coronary syndrome and stroke: A case ‐control study
In this study, we estimated the risk of acute coronary syndrome and stroke associated with several emerging cardiovascular risk factors. This was a case‐control study, where an age ‐ and sex‐matched acute coronary syndrome group and stroke group were compared with controls. Demographic and clinical data were collected through patient interviews, and blood samples were taken for analysis. In the bivariate analysis, all cardiovascular risk factors analyzed showed as predictors of acute coronary syndrome and stroke, except total cholesterol and smoking. In the multivariate logistic regression model for acute coronary sy...

Partnering with the black church: recipe for promoting heart health in the stroke belt.
This article shares findings of elements to improve relations between community agencies and pastors, explores the strengths and challenges of working with churches, examines the role of the pastors in establishing successful programs, and identifies model programs. This article will identify key factors that are essential to cardiovascular health programs that purport to reach high-risk populations for cardiovascular disease with life saving environmental policies and behavior change strategies. Suggestions are provided for working with pastors, churches, and church resources to maximize the desired outcomes of future hea...

Meta-analysis examining interventions aimed at reducing sedentary lifestyle in poststroke patients
Commentary on: Saunders DH, Mead GE, Fitzsimons C, et al. Interventions for reducing sedentary behaviour in people with stroke (Review). Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2021, 6: 1–19. Implications for practice and research The impact of stroke may lead to sedentary lifestyle among affected patients. The level of physical activity may act as a buffer to a better quality of life, however, sedentary behaviour is not associated with reduced or increased mortality in people affected with stroke. Further studies are required to bridge clinical and research gaps in this area. Context Sedentary behaviour is associated with health...

Differences in predictors of 5‐year survival over a 10‐year period in two cohorts of elderly nursing home residents in Sweden
ConclusionsThe present results indicate a trend that individuals are older and frailer when admitted to NH and that survival time after admission has been shortened. Hence, the need of daily support and care has increased, irrespective of housing. Also, predictors of survival, possible to influence, have changed.

Is Health-Related Quality of Life a Predictor of Hospitalization or Mortality Among Women or Men With Atrial Fibrillation?
Background: Little is known about predictors of mortality or hospitalization in women compared with men in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Although there are established gender differences in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), differences have not been established in AF. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine clinical and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) predictors of mortality and 1-year hospitalization in women compared with men with AF. Methods: Limited-use data from the National Institutes of Health/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation o...

Atrial fibrillation is stronger risk factor for heart disease in women.
Authors: Abstract Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of stroke, and a growing body of literature suggests that women and men experience risk factors differently. Smoking and diabetes are associated with greater risk of coronary heart disease in women than in men, for example, while diabetes is associated with a greater risk of stroke in women than in men.
