Mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII) improves physical activity and weight loss among stroke survivors over one year.
Objective: Stroke is the most common cause of physical impairment, and having already had a stroke dramatically increases the risk of having another one. Although greater physical activity lowers rates of stroke recurrence, patients often fail to act in line with this recommendation. The present intervention tested whether teaching the self-regulation strategy of mental contrasting (MC) with implementation intentions (II; MCII) improves stroke patients’ physical activity and weight loss over 1 year compared with 2 information-only, control interventions. Research Method: Participants were 183 stroke survivors who were ca...

Atrial Fibrillation Burden: Moving Beyond Atrial Fibrillation as a Binary Entity: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
nd Stroke Council Abstract Our understanding of the risk factors and complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) is based mostly on studies that have evaluated AF in a binary fashion (present or absent) and have not investigated AF burden. This scientific statement discusses the published literature and knowledge gaps related to methods of defining and measuring AF burden, the relationship of AF burden to cardiovascular and neurological outcomes, and the effect of lifestyle and risk factor modification on AF burden. Many studies examine outcomes by AF burden classified by AF type (paroxysmal versus nonparoxysmal); h...

Stages and Processes of Change for Weight Loss in Acute Stroke or TIA Patients Living with Obesity
Conclusions: Our re sults suggest that without counseling or specific intervention, approximately two-thirds of stroke/TIA patients living with obesity are in the action or maintenance stage of behavior change with respect to weight loss and therefore more likely to succeed in intensive lifestyle-based interventions ta rgeted towards weight loss. Patients who score higher in EMR and WMA are more likely to be in the action or maintenance stage of change.

Nutritional Improvement Correlates with Recovery of Activities of Daily Living among Malnourished Elderly Stroke Patients in the Convalescent Stage: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusions These findings suggest that nutritional improvement such as maintenance of body weight is associated with the efficient recovery of activities of daily living among malnourished elderly convalescent stroke patients.

Decline of microtubule-associated protein tau after experimental stroke in differently aged wild-type and 3xTg mice with Alzheimer-like alterations
In conclusion, microtubule-associated protein tau was robustly identified as a highly sensitive cytoskeletal constitute under ischemic conditions, suggesting a pivotal role during the transition process toward long-lasting tissue damage. Consequently, cytoskeletal elements appear as promising targets for novel therapeutic approaches with the objective to impede ischemia-induced irreversible cellular degradation.

Guhong Injection Prevents Ischemic Stroke-Induced Neuro-Inflammation and Neuron Loss Through Regulation of C5ar1
In this study, the neuroprotective effect of Guhong injection (GHI) on middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced reperfusion injury was assessed and the mechanism was explored by RNA-seq technology. GHI administered for 6 consecutive days significantly decreased body weight loss, infarction rate, neurological deficient scores, and neuron loss but improved rat survival percentage and regional cerebral blood flow after MCAO surgery. Furthermore, we identified inflammation as a vital process and C5AR1 as a vital target in GHI-mediated protection by using RNA-seq analysis. Further experiments confirmed that GHI decreased...

Results of a 12-Month Randomized Controlled Trial Testing the Efficacy of the Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLB) for People Post Stroke (GLB-CVA)
CONCLUSIONS: Engagement in the GLB-CVA can result in weight loss and improved health for individuals who are overweight or obese following stroke. Future efforts should examine effectiveness in real-world settings and focus on knowledge translation efforts.PMID:37542523 | DOI:10.1093/abm/kaad045

Lauric acid provides neuroprotection against oxidative stress in mouse model of hyperglycaemic stroke
Eur J Pharmacol. 2023 Aug 10:175990. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.175990. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring ischemic stroke, higher glucose level linked worse outcomes were reported even in patients without pre-existing diabetes. Evidence suggest that such worse stroke outcomes were mainly due to production of reactive, toxic glucose metabolites that expands oxidative damage inside the brain. As a consequence of high oxidative stress, microvasculature structures and tight junctions compromised their functionally, infarct volume expands and brain edema exacerbates. In a mouse model of ischemic stroke with induced acute hyp...

Adult onset methylphenidate induced dyskinesia after stroke
Methylphenidate is a stimulant medication that is commonly used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is also used as adjuvant therapy for improving disability after stroke. Recently, Moreau et al. reported that methylphenidate improved gait hypokinesia and freezing in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) . The most common side effects of methylphenidate are; insomnia, anorexia, weight loss, abdominal pain, headache, irritability, anxiety, tachycardia, hypertension, and motor tics. Dyskinesia as a side effect of methylphenidate is rare, and only a few cases have been reported . Most of th...

A stroke of bad luck.
Abstract Giant cell arteritis is a common cause of headache in patients aged more than 50 years. It is an easy diagnosis to make if classical features, ie temporal headache, jaw claudication, visual symptoms, systemic symptoms of fever or weight loss with high erythrocyte sedimentation rate and anemia, are present. However, it may present atypically and stroke can be the presenting feature. A high index of suspicion is needed in atypical presentations such as stroke. Once a diagnosis is suspected it is imperative to start high dose steroids to prevent visual and neurological complications. PMID: 25468861 [PubMed - in process]

Optimised lyophilisation-based method for different biomolecule single-extractions from the same rat brain sample: suitability for RNA and protein expression analyses after ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThe lyophilisation-based method for different biomolecule single-extractions from tissue powder aliquots, representing the same rat brain sample, is sample saving, contributes to the reduction principle in animal research, and allows coordinated analysis for accurate correlations between the transcriptome and proteome in stroke and other neuroscience research.
