Management of acute stroke and urgent neurointerventional procedures during COVID-19 pandemic: recommendations on the Scientific Department on Cerebrovascular Diseases of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology, Brazilian Society of Cerebrovascular Diseases and Brazilian Society of Neuroradiology
ABSTRACT Introduction: Although the 2019 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) pandemic poses new challenges to the healthcare system to provide support for thousands of patients, there is special concern about common medical emergencies, such as stroke, that will continue to occur and will require adequate treatment. The allocation of both material and human resources to fight the pandemic cannot overshadow the care for acute stroke, a time-sensitive emergency that with an inefficient treatment will further increase mortality and long-term disability. Objective: This paper summar...

Use of statins for the secondary prevention of stroke: are we respecting the scientific evidences?
Background: Stroke accounts for approximately as 5.0% of disability-adjusted years of life and 10.0% of all deaths worldwide. Secondary stroke prevention in surviving individuals, which includes the use of statins, reduces atherothrombotic stroke recurrence, complications and mortality. The present study aimed to characterize the Brazilian population with stroke history and estimate the prevalence of statin use as secondary prevention.Methods: This is a population-based cross-sectional study conducted in Brazilian urban areas.

Risk factors associated with mortality in young and long-lived older adults in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil
This article aims to investigate risk factors associated with mortality in young (< 80 years) and long-lived ( ≥ 80 years) older adults in Florian ópolis. A longitudinal population-based study of 1702 older adults participants of the EpiFloripa Ageing Study. Deaths were identified through searches in the Mortality Information System. The probability of survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier and Log-Rank methods. The effect of risk fact ors for mortality was evaluated using Cox Regression models, adjusted for gender, family income, leisure physical activity, depressive symptoms, functional disability, falls, sm...

Stroke Communication Scale based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF - SCS).
Conclusion: The Stroke Communication Scale allows a comprehensive clinical evaluation helping in the development of individualized treatment programs in post-stroke in a biopsychosocial approach centered on the patient. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Communication disorders post-stroke can be an important social barrier. An assessment based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health offers an integral view of different perspectives of health. The Stroke Communication Scale is a holistic instrument to assess communication, participation, and functioning. The Stroke Communication Scale allows...

Can the positions of the spastic upper limb in stroke survivors help muscle choice for botulinum toxin injections?
Conclusion: Frequencies of upper-limb postures differed from previous reports. Other clinical features, besides spasticity, interfered with muscle choice for BoNT-A injection, which only partially followed the recommendations in the literature.RESUMO As defici ências motoras que ocorrem nos indivÃduos com doença cerebrovascular (DCV) são prevalentes e contribuem para dependência, dor e incapacidade, o que pode atrasar a reabilitação do membro superior e sua funcionalidade. O tratamento com toxina botulÃnica do tipo A (BoNT-A) é indicado para a es pasticidade focal e requer conhecimento da biomecánica e anatomia p...

Measurement properties of the Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke.
Conclusions: Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke showed excellent reliability and redundant internal consistency. The construct validity with the Fugl-Meyer scale was strong. Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke was able to discriminate individuals with different levels of upper limb impairment. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Post-stroke individuals develop compensatory strategies to perform reaching movements with the paretic upper limb. The Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke provides a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the reach-to-grasp movement. The Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke is suitable for ...

Incidence and potential predictors of early onset of upper-limb contractures after stroke.
Conclusions: Individuals with mild and moderate stroke developed upper-limb contractures three months after the onset of the stroke, with an incidence of 28%. The predictors were the presence of pain and loss of dexterity. These impairments should be earlier targeted during rehabilitation interventions. Implications for rehabilitation The incidence of upper limb contracture 3 months after the stroke is high after mild to moderate stroke. Wrist contractures are the most common upper limb contracture. The presence of pain and loss of dexterity significantly contribute to the development of upper limb contractures. Health pro...

Predictors of return to work after stroke: a prospective, observational cohort study with 6 Â months follow-up.
Conclusions: Less than 50% of stroke survivors returned to work six months after stroke. Among predictors, only the level of dependence in daily activities is a modifiable factor. Interventions aimed at reducing disability after stroke might increase rates of return to work. Implications for rehabilitation In Brazil, less than 50% of stroke survivors returned to work six months after stroke. Clinicians may collect information regarding household income, type of work and dependence in daily activities to estimate chances of returning to work, in developing countries. Being independent at 3 months was the strongest predictor...
