Over-the-counter and Prescription Sleep Medication and Incident Stroke: The REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke Study
Conclusions: Over-the-counter sleep medication use may independently increase the risk of stroke beyond other risk factors in middle-aged to older individuals with no history of stroke.

Self-reported Sleep Duration in Relation to Incident Stroke Symptoms: Nuances by Body Mass and Race from the REGARDS Study
Background: To determine, among employed persons with low risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), if sleep duration is associated with incident stroke symptoms, independent of body mass index (BMI), and if sleep duration mediates racial differences in stroke symptoms.Methods: In 2008, 5666 employed participants (US blacks and whites, ≥45 years) from the longitudinal and nationally representative Reasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke study self-reported their average sleep duration. Participants had no history of stroke, transient ischemic attack, or stroke symptoms and were at low risk for OSA. After ...

Stroke Volume Predicts Nocturnal Hypoxemia in the Acute Ischemic Stroke after Intravenous Thrombolysis
The Goal: The aim of the study was to investigate whether stroke volume or the presence of ischemic stroke lesion on follow-up computed tomography 1 day after admission had association with sleep apnea among ischemic stroke patients undergoing thrombolysis. Materials and Methods: We prospectively recruited 110 consecutive ischemic stroke patients and performed computed tomography on admission and after 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis. Stroke volume was measured from post-thrombolysis computed tomography scans.

Sleep Apnea Treatment After Stroke (SATS) Trial: Is It Feasible?
Sleep apnea affects more than half of patients with acute ischemic stroke and is associated with poor stroke outcome. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of a randomized, sham-controlled continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) trial in subjects with acute ischemic stroke. Subjects identified with sleep apnea based on an apnea-hypopnea index ≥5 on overnight polysomnography or portable respiratory monitoring within 7 days of onset of stroke symptoms were randomized to receive active or sham CPAP for a 3-month period. Objective usage was ascertained by compliance data cards. Subjects, treating physicians, and outco...

Prevalence and Predictors of Sleep Apnea Risk among Ghanaian Stroke Survivors
Sleep apnea (SA) has emerged as a potent risk factor for stroke recurrence and mortality. The burden of SA among stroke survivors in sub-Saharan Africa where stroke incidence and mortality are escalating is unknown. We sought to assess the prevalence of SA risk and its clinical correlates and predictors among Ghanaian stroke survivors.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea before Ischemic Stroke: Clinical Relevance to Infarction Volume and Neurological Recovery
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a probable risk factor with speculative roles in the induction or aggravation of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: The association between OSA and AIS severity was retrospectively analyzed using clinical data of first-onset AIS patients, admitted to our hospital between January 2013 and September 2016. Eligible patients were categorized based on the presence of OSA prior to stroke. Stroke severity and functional outcomes were evaluated using the National Institute of Health Stroke Severity Scale (NIHSS) and the modified Rankin scale (mRS), respectively.

Examining the Inter-relations of Depression, Physical Function, and Cognition with Subjective Sleep Parameters among Stroke Survivors: A Cross-sectional Analysis
Goal: Stroke survivors commonly experience depression as well as deficits in physical and cognition function. Emerging evidence also suggests sleep quality is compromised poststroke. Our primary objective was to examine the association of subjective sleep parameters (ie, total PSQI score) with depression, health related quality of life, physical function, and cognition among stroke survivors. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of 72 older adults with chronic stroke ( ≥6 months postischemic stroke) enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of exercise or cognitive enrichment.

Re: Meteorological Factors and Seasonal Stroke Rates
The present study1 further adds to our understating regarding complex role of possible seasonal variations (eg temperature) and their role as risk factors in causation of diseases (eg stroke) in humans. Authors conclude that hot in summer months the risk of ischemic stroke was higher than hemorrhagic stroke.1 Many studies in the past have generated variable evidence regarding the role of weather temperature as a risk factor for stroke (increased risk to lower risk on no risk).1-6 Increasing temperatures can lead to heat related stress thus interfering with sleep and with daily activities of life and resulting negative in health outcomes.

Prevalence and Determinants of Sleep Apnea in Patients with Stroke: A Meta-Analysis
Recent meta-analyses have noted that ∼70% of transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke patients have sleep apnea. However, the heterogeneity between studies was high and did not appear to be accounted by the phase of stroke. We conducted an updated meta-analysis and aimed to determine whether the prevalence of sleep apnea amongst stroke patients differs by the subtype, etiology, severity and location of stroke and hence could account for some of the unexplained heterogeneity observed in previous studies.

Dysphagia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Acute, First-Ever, Ischemic Stroke
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and dysphagia are common in acute stroke and are both associated with increased risk of complications and worse prognosis. The aims of the present study were (1) to evaluate the prevalence of OSA and dysphagia in patients with acute, first-ever, ischemic stroke; (2) to investigate their clinical correlates; and (3) to verify if these conditions are associated in acute ischemic stroke.

Autonomic Nervous System Modifications During Wakefulness and Sleep in a Cohort of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Goal: The aims of our study were to investigate autonomic modifications in wakefulness and sleep in a cohort of patients with acute ischemic stroke and to evaluate whereas these modifications were dependent by sleep stage and stroke lateralization. Materials and Methods: We prospectively enrolled 42 patients (22 men and 20 women, mean age: 69.8 ± 11.3; range: 32-92 years) with acute ischemic stroke. All participants underwent a full-night polysomnography. As index of autonomic nervous system we used Heart Rate Variability (HRV), analyzed in wakefulness and during different sleep stages.
