Damage to the Left Precentral Gyrus Is Associated With Apraxia of Speech in Acute Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Damage to the left precentral gyrus is associated with AOS in acute to subacute stroke patients, suggesting a role of this brain region in motor speech production.

Patterns of Poststroke Brain Damage That Predict Speech Production Errors in Apraxia of Speech and Aphasia Dissociate Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— AOS likely occurs in conjunction with aphasia because of the proximity of the brain areas supporting speech and language, but the neurobiological substrate for each disorder differs.

Stroke Caused by Lung Cancer Invading the Left Atrium
We describe a 59-year-old stroke patient presented with sudden onset left side weakness and a speech disorder due to a major acute cerebral infarction in the area of the right middle cerebral artery, right posterior cerebral artery, and small infarctions in the area of the left middle and left posterior cerebral artery. For the previous month, the patient had been feeling weak and had no appetite. The patient had not been previously seriously ill. A chest x-ray showed a large mass in the upper zone of the right lung.

Stroke and COVID19: not only a large-vessel disease
Recent evidence has underlined the association between large-vessel stroke and COVID-19, probably due to a proinflammatory and prothrombotic microenvironment induced by SARS-CoV-2. Here, we report the case of a young fit woman affected by COVID-19 without any flu-like symptom, who suffered from speech disorder and left hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance evidenced two small acute brain infarctions in right perirolandic cortex without signs of previous ischemic lesions and hemorrhagic infarction.

Ten-Year Evaluation of the TOYOTA Prehospital Stroke Scale for Tissue Plasminogen Activator Intravenous Therapy in the Real World
Conclusions: The TOPSPIN is a simple prehospital stroke scale that includes an assessment of atrial fibrillation. Detection of atrial fibrillation in the prehospital stage may point to a higher probability of ischemic stroke.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:184 –192

Stroke Awareness In Outpatients. (P2.302)
CONCLUSIONS: General knowledge about CVRF is still insufficient in the outpatient population, even when assessed in the cardiology or neurology clinic. We believe that increased knowledge about stroke in outpatients, compared to inpatients, is due to higher educational level and a higher amount of family members with a history of stroke.

Clinical characteristics of patients with stroke code activation not identified by the emergency medical service.
CONCLUSIONS: The sensitivity of EMS to detect stroke patients in our series is 77%. We have identified clinical features associated with lack of sensitivity, such as vertebrobasilar territory symptoms or isolated language disorder. PMID: 32182372 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aberrant modulation of broadband neural oscillations reflects vocal sensorimotor deficits in post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate complex interplays between the underlying mechanisms of speech and language and their deficits in post-stroke aphasia.SIGNIFICANCE: Our data motivate the notion of studying neural oscillatory dynamics as a critical component for the examination of speech and language disorders in post-stroke aphasia.PMID:36934601 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2023.02.176

Sex differences in the integrated stroke management in a rural healthcare area in Asturias.
CONCLUSIONS: There are demographic sex differences in the cerebrovascular risk profile, clinical presentation, hospital management and comorbidity of stroke in this rural population, which suggest that there are areas where there is room for improvement. PMID: 27439484 [PubMed - in process]

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Post-Stroke Aphasia Rehabilitation: Bilateral vs Unilateral Online Stimulation (P5.151)
Conclusions:tDCS showed to be an effective and safe tool in improving post-stroke patients’ aphasic symptoms, with no difference between the two montages employed, even if these results have to be considered preliminary, since we are still widening our sample. IFG stimulation is worth to be further explored (wider samples and evaluation for optimal stimulation parameters) as additional rehabilitative tool for post stroke aphasic patients.Disclosure: Dr. Torrente has nothing to disclose.

Self-managed, computerised speech and language therapy for patients with chronic aphasia post-stroke compared with usual care or attention control (Big CACTUS): a multicentre, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial
Publication date: September 2019Source: The Lancet Neurology, Volume 18, Issue 9Author(s): Rebecca Palmer, Munyaradzi Dimairo, Cindy Cooper, Pam Enderby, Marian Brady, Audrey Bowen, Nicholas Latimer, Steven Julious, Elizabeth Cross, Abualbishr Alshreef, Madeleine Harrison, Ellen Bradley, Helen Witts, Tim ChaterSummaryBackgroundPost-stroke aphasia might improve over many years with speech and language therapy; however speech and language therapy is often less readily available beyond a few months after stroke. We assessed self-managed computerised speech and language therapy (CSLT) as a means of providing more therapy than ...

Can enhancing left lateralization using transcranial direct current stimulation improve recovery from post-stroke aphasia?
One third of stroke victims suffer from aphasia, an acquired language disorder for which there are few effective medical treatments. Aphasia often does not resolve completely, resulting in substantial long-term disability. After a stroke that causes aphasia, the reorganization of language networks in the brain involves compensatory recruitment of brain tissue in the left hemisphere as well as potentially maladaptive recruitment of symmetric areas in the right hemisphere. One avenue for intervention might be to externally “left lateralize” the brain, enhancing activity of the left frontal lobe while inhibiting the right...

Altered resting-state network connectivity in stroke patients with and without apraxia of speech (S49.002)
CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight the left PM region’s involvement in AOS, begin to differentiate it’s neural mechanisms from those of other motor impairments following stroke, and help inform us of the neural mechanisms driving differences in speech motor planning and programming following stroke.
