Effect of social support and health education on depression scale scores of chronic stroke patients
The objective of this study was to explore the effect of social support on depression in chronic stroke patients and the relationship between demographic and disease characteristics. Total samples were randomly divided into an intervention group (n = 31) and a control group (n = 31). Sixteen social support interventions were performed over 8 weeks. Social support programs were implemented 2 times a week. Depressive symptoms were assessed at the second week, 4th week, 8th week, and 4 weeks after the end of the study using the 10-item Center for the Epidemiological Studies of Depression Short Form (CES-D10). There wa...

Bilateral vertebral artery dissection complicated by posterior circulation stroke in a young man: A case report
Conclusion:
VAD should be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of posterior circulation stroke or transient ischemic attack in young patients. Intravenous thrombolytic therapy may be safe and effective for stroke-complicated cases. This case report demonstrates that expanded diagnostic protocol for acute ischemic stroke assures rapid and correct diagnosis.

Impact of Previous Stroke on Short-Term Myocardial Reinfarction in Patients With Acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: An Observational Multicenter Study
Abstract: Myocardial reinfarction is frequent after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The incidence of previous stroke in STEMI patients is also high. We aim to evaluate the risk factors for short-term myocardial reinfarction in STEMI patients in a multicenter study.
STEMI patients with chest pain onset within 12 hours in 247 hospitals in China were enrolled. Seven and 30-day follow-ups from admission to hospitals were performed. The primary outcome of our study was myocardial reinfarction at 30 days after STEMI. The study population was stratified into 2 groups: STEMI patients with mayocardial reinfarction an...

Cryptogenic stroke and small fiber neuropathy of unknown etiology in patients with alpha-galactosidase A -10T genotype
Background:
Fabry disease (FD) is a multisystemic disorder with typical neurological manifestations such as stroke and small fiber neuropathy (SFN), caused by mutations of the alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) gene. We analyzed 15 patients carrying the GLA haplotype -10C>T [rs2071225], IVS2-81_-77delCAGCC [rs5903184], IVS4-16A>G [rs2071397], and IVS6-22C>T [rs2071228] for potential neurological manifestations.Methods and resultsPatients were retrospectively analyzed for stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), white matter lesions (WML) and SFN with neuropathic pain. Functional impact of the haplotype was determined by molecular...

A case report of left atrial myxoma-induced acute myocardial infarction and successive stroke
Rationale:
Left atrial myxoma is a common primary cardiac tumor, however, due to poor image quality or atypical myxoma images, it is often misdiagnosed by echocardiograph. A case of left atrial myxoma being misdiagnosed as a thrombus, which successively caused acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke, is very rare. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography can play an important role in definitive diagnosis.
Patient concerns:
A 44-year-old woman was diagnosed AMI because of chest pain with no significant stenosis in the coronary arteries. One month later, the patient was suddenly found unconscious, magnetic resonance imag...

Immediate effects of noxious and innocuous thermal stimulation on brain activation in patients with stroke
Case-control studies have shown that noxious thermal stimulation (TS) can improve arm function in patients with stroke. However, the neural mechanisms underlying this improvement are largely unknown. We explored functional neural activation due to noxious and innocuous TS intervention applied to the paretic arm of patients with stroke. Sixteen participants with unilateral cortical infarctions were allocated to one of two groups: noxious TS (8 patients; temperature combination: hot pain 46°C to 47°C, cold pain 7°C–8°C) or innocuous TS (n = 8; temperature combination: hot 40°C–41°C, cold 20°C–21°C). All sub...

Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections for adhesive capsulitis more effective than placebo
Commentary on: Prestgaard T, Wormgoor ME, Haugen S, et al.. Ultrasound-guided intra-articular and rotator interval corticosteroid injections in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: a double-blind, sham-controlled randomized study. Pain 2015;156:1683–91. Context Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder or painful stiff shoulder) is relatively common. It is idiopathic: known associated factors include trauma, diabetes, prolonged immobilisation, age, stroke and autoimmune disease. While self-limited, pain and decreased range of motion can last up to 2–3 years. Therefore, there is practical value in therapeutic in...
