Validity of the Controlling Nutritional Status score as a Nutritional Assessment Tool early after stroke
This study investigated the prognostic role of malnutrition, as assessed by the CONUT scoring system. We hypothesized that malnutrition negatively affects outcomes as expressed by Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor or Berg Balance Scale (BBS) change in stroke patients. This was a retrospective cohort study involving 117 individuals including first-time subacute stroke inpatients from March 2017 to February 2020. All participants were evaluated with BBS and FIM. We used multiple linear regression analysis with backward stepwise selection to examine the association between CONUT and changes during rehabilitation. Af...

Acupuncture against the metabolic risk factors for stroke: A systematic review of systematic reviews
Conclusion:
This review summarizes the available evidence and underpins findings of the acupuncture exhibited the therapeutic role in eliminating metabolic risk factors for stroke, including systolic blood pressure, weight loss, glycemic index and cholesterol. Acupuncture could have positive effects on a specific symptom, and the effects depend not only on intervention type but also on how and when the intervention is provided. And more prioritizing high-quality research in this field in the future is conducive to guiding clinical practice.

Young Women Witth High BMI At Increased Risk For Heart Attack, Stroke
A nationwide study of women in Denmark who are of child-bearing age finds that those who are obese appear to have a much greater risk of heart attack or stroke, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 62nd Annual Scientific Session. In fact, women with a high body mass index (BMI) - a measure of the body's fat content - that is indicative of obesity were twice as likely as those of normal weight to suffer a potentially life-threatening heart attack or stroke within just four to five years following childbirth...

An Unusual Cause Of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke: Trousseau's Syndrome From Gastric Cancer (P4.231)
CONCLUSIONS: Trousseau’s Syndrome must be considered in those presenting with recurrent strokes with an otherwise negative embolic work up especially in the elderly and those with cancer risk factors. It must prompt the clinician to look for an associated malignancy.Disclosure: Dr. JADEJA has nothing to disclose. Dr. Johnson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Soetanto has nothing to disclose.

An alternative surgical approach reduces variability following filament induction of experimental stroke in mice RESOURCE ARTICLE
ABSTRACT
Animal models are essential for understanding the pathology of stroke and investigating potential treatments. However, in vivo stroke models are associated, particularly in mice, with high variability in lesion volume. We investigated whether a surgical refinement where reperfusion is not reliant on the Circle of Willis reduced outcome variability. Mice underwent 60 min of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion avoiding ligation of the external carotid artery. During reperfusion, the common carotid artery was either ligated (standard approach), or it was repaired to allow re-establishment of blood flow th...

Amino acid solution mitigates hypothermia response and intestinal damage following exertional heat stroke in male mice
Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a debilitating and potentially fatal condition for which few prevention strategies exist. These results suggest that a 5AAS improves Tc regulation during EHS recovery through maintaining mucosal function and integrity and that protecting the GI tract during EHS may be beneficial in some of the health consequences of EHS exposure. AbstractIncreased gut permeability is implicated in the initiation and extent of the cytokine inflammatory response associated with exertional heat stroke (EHS). The primary objective of this study was to determine if a five amino acid oral rehydration solution (5AA...

Diabetes Lifestyle Intervention Does Not Reduce Heart Attack Or Stroke Risk
A long-term, intensive lifestyle intervention program for type 2 diabetes patients that focused on weight loss and exercise did not reduce the risk of stroke or heart attacks, researchers involved in the "Look AHEAD" trial explained at the American Diabetes Association's 73rd Scientific Sessions, Chicago, Illinois. However, the program improved patients' physical quality of life, reduced incidence and severity of depressive symptoms, lowered medical costs because of fewer hospitalizations, outpatient care and medications, and also reduced *microvascular complications...

Microcirculatory Disorders and Protective Role of Antioxidant in Severe Heat Stroke: A Rat Study
This study aims to examine microcirculation and systemic hemodynamic disturbances in severe heat stroke (HS). A total of 147 rats were divided into HS group (HS), pretreated with superoxide dismutase (SOD+HS) group, and pretreated with normal saline (NS+HS) group. Heat stress was induced by incubating the animals in certain temperatures. Blood flow and vascular reactivity were monitored dynamically with intravital microscopy. Pulmonary permeability was reflected by wet-to-dry weight ratio, the concentration of Evans Blue (EB), and histopathology of lung. The results showed that heat stress could induce blood flow rate redu...

Delayed 2-hour post-stroke administration of R18 and NA-1 (TAT-NR2B9c) peptides after permanent and/or transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in the rat.
Abstract
Following positive results with the poly-arginine peptide R18 when administered intravenously 30 or 60minutes after permanent and/or transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO; 90min) in the rat, we examined the effectiveness of the peptide when administered 2hours after MCAO. R18 was administered intravenously (1000nmol/kg via jugular vein) after permanent MCAO or a transient 3-hour MCAO or when administered intra-arterially (100nmol/kg via internal carotid artery) immediately after reperfusion following a transient 2-hour MCAO. In the transient MCAO studies, the neuroprotective NA-1 peptide was us...
