Risk of fractures after stroke: Results from the Ontario Stroke Registry
Conclusions: Stroke is associated with an increased risk of low-trauma fractures. Individuals with stroke and additional risk factors for fractures may benefit from targeted screening for low bone mineral density and initiation of treatment for fracture prevention.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Treatment with Botulinum Toxin on Sleep Quality in Stroke-Related Spasticity
Stroke is one of the most common causes of mortality and neurological disability worldwide.1 Spasticity is one of the most common findings of hemiplegia after stroke and the rate of spasticity after stroke is 40%.2 Spasticity is defined as sensory-motor control disorder, arising from intermittent or continuous involuntary activation of muscles resulting from upper motor neuron lesion.3 Although spasticity has benefits such as contributing to standing and walking, preventing osteoporosis, deep vein thrombosis and contributing to blood circulation, it is a complex disorder that causes serious disability in daily life activit...

Associations between stroke type, stroke severity, and pre-stroke osteoporosis with the risk of post-stroke fracture: A nationwide population-based study
BackgroundRecognizing the post-stroke fracture risk factors is crucial for targeted intervention and primary fracture prevention. We aimed to investigate whether stroke types, stroke severity, and pre-stroke osteoporosis are associated with post-stroke fracture.MethodsIn a nationwide cohort, we identified previously fracture-free patients who suffered from first-ever stroke, either acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), between 2003 and 2015. Information regarding stroke severity, osteoporosis, comorbidity, and medication information was collected.

Hip fracture after first‐ever stroke: a population‐based study
ConclusionsThese findings imply that osteoporosis may play a major role in the occurrence of hip fracture in the first four years after a first‐ever stroke. Early intervention to prevent bone loss should be regarded as an important part in stroke management, especially in older females, and should be sustained for four years at least. The benefit of antidepressants in stroke patients should be weighed against the increased risk of hip fracture.

Relationship between bone disorders and stroke
AbstractBone disorders are among the most uncommon causes of stroke, but they should be considered as stroke cause in particular clinical scenarios. On the other hand, osteoporosis/osteopenia and increased fracture risk are well documented post stroke complications. The relationship between stroke and bone health is complex. The current facts suggest that these two conditions share same risk factors, but also are risk factors for each other. However, the evidence shows more clear effect of stroke on the bone health, than in the opposite direction. This extensive review is aiming to fill the huge gap of evidence about this ...

Correlation between tibial measurements using peripheral quantitative computed tomography and hip areal bone density measurements in ambulatory chronic stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the good correlations between tibial pQCT variables and hip aBMD, the clinical use of pQCT in assessing bone health in this population should be further pursued. PMID: 26647174 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationship Between Bone Mass And Muscle Weakness In Chronic Neurological Diseases (P3.036)
Conclusions: This study demonstrates greater commitment tendency to bone density in regions with weakness, compared to those without it, this could be related to disuse. This series had insufficient vitamin D. The neurologist should consider bone mass evaluation in patients with chronic muscle weakness.Disclosure: Dr. Gutierrez has nothing to disclose.

Insomnia as a risk factor for ill health: results from the large population‐based prospective HUNT Study in Norway
Summary Insomnia co‐occurs with many health problems, but less is known about the prospective associations. The aim of the current study was to investigate if insomnia predicts cumulative incidence of mental and physical conditions. Prospective population‐based data from the two last Nord‐Trøndelag Health Studies (HUNT2 in 1995–97 and HUNT3 in 2006–08), comprising 24 715 people in the working population, were used to study insomnia as a risk factor for incidence of physical and mental conditions. Insomnia was defined according to the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM�...

The effects of neuromuscular facilitation techniques on osteoporosis of hemiplegia limbs and serum leptin level in patients or rats with cerebral infarction.
Conclusion: NFC elevated the BMD of hemiplegia limbs, serum ALP, BGP, IL-6 and leptin levels and, thus, alleviated osteoporosis in rats and patients with cerebral infarction. PMID: 26963737 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Unusual association between lysinuric protein intolerance and moyamoya vasculopathy.
CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an association between moyamoya vasculopathy and LPI. While the question of association or coincidence cannot yet be answered, several pathophysiological consequences of LPI can be defined as separate, such as links between the impact of low arginine levels on the function of vascular endothelium and brain nitric oxide metabolism, as well as hemophagocytic syndrome associated with the risk of vasculitis, thus accounting for the development of moyamoya vasculopathy.
