IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16925: Effect of Treadmill Training with Visual Biofeedback on Selected Gait Parameters in Subacute Hemiparetic Stroke Patients
Conclusions: The treadmill with visual biofeedback as conventional gait training has resulted in a significant improvement in parameters such as step length, walking speed, static balance, and a reduction in the use of locomotion aids. However, the achieved improvement in gait parameters is still not in line with the physiological norm.

Impact of General Practitioner Transient Ischemic Attack Training on 90-Day Stroke Outcomes: Secondary Analysis of a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Many patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) receive initial assessments by general practitioners (GPs) who may lack TIA management experience. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), we showed that electronic decision support for GPs improves patient outcomes and guideline adherence. Some stroke services prefer to improve referrer expertise through TIA/stroke education sessions instead of promoting TIA decision aids or triaging tools. This is a secondary analysis of whether a GP education session influenced TIA management and outcomes.

Visual Aids for Patient, Family, and Physician Decision Making About Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Visual decision aids are now available to rapidly educate healthcare providers, patients, and families about benefits and risks of endovascular thrombectomy, both when added to IV tPA in tPA-eligible patients and as the sole reperfusion treatment in tPA-ineligible patients.

Endocrine Disruptors and Health Effects in Africa: A Call for Action
Conclusion: To address the many challenges posed by EDCs, we argue that Africans should take the lead in prioritization and evaluation of environmental hazards, including EDCs. We recommend the institution of education and training programs for chemical users, adoption of the precautionary principle, establishment of biomonitoring programs, and funding of community-based epidemiology and wildlife research programs led and funded by African institutes and private companies. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1774 Received: 16 February 2017 Revised: 22 May 2017 Accepted: 24 May 2017 Published: 22 August 2017 Address correspond...

Clinical round-up
HIV and stroke The association between HIV infection and coronary heart disease and haemorrhagic stroke has already been described1–3 but less is known about ischaemic stroke. Sico et al4 looked at the risk factors for ischaemic stroke in HIV+ individuals as part of the Veterans Administration Cohort Study, a study of clinical and laboratory data sets collected from 99 688 US veterans. They compared HIV+ patients with HIV– controls matched for age, sex race/ethnicity and clinical site over a 6-year period from 2003 to 2009, and after women and those with baseline cardiovascular disease (CVD) or stroke were...

Effects of premorbid physical activity on stroke severity and post-stroke functioning.
CONCLUSION: There are significant associations between premorbid walking habits and functional status after first-ever stroke. Weekly light-intensity activity, such as walking for more than 30 min, may have a sustained impact on functioning after stroke. PMID: 26073856 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abstract 272: Preliminary Data from RESOLVE (Rapid Evaluation for Stroke Outcomes using Lytics in Vascular Events) Study Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Preliminary findings showed that less than half of the patients and CG felt the education was clear. However additional interviews are planned. Preliminary insights suggest an opportunity to use an individualized risk and benefit decision tool to inform and engage patients and CG regarding treatment decisions. We believe this can be accomplished without increasing the door to needle time in administration of rt-PA.
