Does the Environment Cause Changes in Hemiparetic Lower Limb Muscle Activity and Gait Velocity During Walking in Stroke Survivors?
Stroke is a common chronic health condition and ranks second among the leading causes of death and is the third leading cause of disability worldwide.1 Crude prevalence of stroke in different parts of India over the past two decades has been estimated to be 44.29 –559/100,000.2 After a stroke, most patients experience a considerable amount of gait impairments in their acute stage. The majority of stroke individuals regain their ability to walk.3,4 However, 70% of these individuals face difficulty in community ambulation even though they achieve relatively good steady-state walking ability.

Exploring the Economic Benefits of Modafinil for Post-Stroke Fatigue in Australia: A Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation
Post-stroke fatigue remains a substantial ‘silent disability’, affecting up to three-quarters of stroke survivors,1,2 and rating among the worst symptoms experienced by nearly half of stroke survivors.3 On the spectrum of stroke complications, fatigue receives considerably less attention than more visible physical disabilities,4 despite fatigue adversely affecting clinical outcomes and quality of life, and being an independent predictor of institutionalisation, dependence in activities of daily living, poorer functional outcomes, and death.

Prediction of Recovery and Outcome Using Motor Evoked Potentials and Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Subacute Stroke
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and the third most common cause of disability.1 An increase in the number of stroke care units, more frequent use of intravenous thrombolysis and, more recently, of mechanic thrombectomy have improved stroke survival within the last 30 years.2 However, about 30% of patients still remain moderately disabled after stroke and some require help with daily activities.1,3 Hence, more research into targeted rehabilitation is recommended, and tools that will help to establish which patients will benefit from rehabilitation are necessary.

Modifiable Factors Associated with Non-Adherence to Secondary Ischaemic Stroke Prevention Strategies
Eighty percent of stroke is due to five modifiable factors: hypertension, smoking, abdominal obesity, unhealthy diet, and lack of exercise.1 Risk factors for first-time and recurrent ischaemic stroke are similar.2 The absolute risk of a recurrent ischaemic stroke following an initial ischaemic stroke is 29.7% by five years.3 Recurrent strokes are associated with greater disability and mortality than first-time strokes.4 Secondary prevention strategies are key in reducing recurrent ischaemic events.

Low-Level Inhibition of GABAergic Synapses Enhances Gene Expressions Crucial for Neuronal Plasticity in the Hippocampus After Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of impairment, disability and handicap, and a primary target of physical medicine and rehabilitation.1 It mostly impairs motor and sensory function; however, recent studies have indicated that many patients also suffer from a type of cognitive impairment, called post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), after a stroke.2 Since cognitive impairment interferes with post-stroke recovery, it is important to control PSCI, so as to rehabilitate the motor and sensory functions of the patients.

YouTube as a Source of Information for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Stroke: A Quality, Reliability and Accuracy Analysis
Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability among adults and affects more than 795000 people each year in the United States.1,2 Globally, 6.5 million stroke deaths occurred in 2013 and stroke was the 2nd most common cause of mortality worldwide.2,3 Usually, after a stroke, the damaged brain region and surrounding healthy cells try to repair the disrupted neural networks and to regulate the disrupted functions by creating new networks. However, the complete recovery of motor functions takes place in only 20% of patients, depending on the location of the damaged area, its size, and the general health of the patient.

Prevalence of Stroke and Stroke Risk Factors in a South-Western Community of Nepal
The global burden of stroke in 2016 suggests that stroke is associated with approximately one million deaths and 22 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in South Asia, of which nearly 15,000 deaths and 330,000 DALYs occurred in Nepal.1 Stroke incurs a substantial economic burden to the national healthcare system2 and is often unaffordable to low-income families, particularly for those bearing out-of-pocket expenses for all the treatment costs.

Effect of Insurance Status on Outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Receiving Intra-Arterial Treatment: Results from the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program
Stroke continues to be a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Rates of intra-arterial reperfusion treatments (IAT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are increasing, and these treatments are associated with more favorable outcomes. We sought to examine the effect of insurance status on outcomes for AIS patients receiving IAT within a multistate stroke registry.

Family History of Stroke is Associated with Greater Prevalence of Certain Risk Factors and Self-Reported Stroke Symptoms
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Its prevalence was estimated to be over 80 million patients in 2016.1 The incidence and hospitalization rate due to stroke increases in young and middle-aged adults,2 making stroke in these age groups a major socioeconomic issue.3

Understanding Coordinator Roles in Acute Stroke Care: A National Survey
Globally, stroke is a major contributor to death and disability.1 Evidence-based care in hospital after an acute stroke ensures improved survival and reduced disability, but care quality can vary.2,3 Clinical coordinators have an essential role in improving best-practice in trauma, cancer, diabetes, and heart failure conditions.4-7 Within stroke, coordinator roles are not new; in 1970, a study outlining the ‘Stroke Team’ model was published, which included a physician, nurse-coordinator and physical therapist.

Relationship between Alcohol Intake and Stroke Severity in Japanese Patients: a Sex- and Subtype-Stratified Analysis
Stroke is a severe disease that causes disability in many patients, warranting the urgent development of treatment options.1-4 Previous studies have reported that the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS) linearly increases with increasing alcohol intake.5-12 Furthermore, moderate alcohol intake has been shown to lower the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), and a J-curve association has been observed between alcohol consumption and morbidity rate of IS.7-14 These reports were similar in that they considered alcohol intake as a risk factor for stroke development.

An Examination of Modifiable Risk Factors in Stroke Survivors, with a view to recurrent stroke prevention
Stroke is a major public health problem worldwide, as more people survive their initial stroke event and subsequently live with chronic disability. While extensive research has focused upon preventing primary strokes comparatively little research has examined secondary stroke prevention.

Incidence, early case fatality and determinants of stroke in Iran: Golestan Cohort Study
Stroke is a neurological deficit secondary to an acute focal central nervous system injury caused by a vascular origin.1 In 2019, stroke was considered the second cause of death worldwide, accounting for 125 million Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs).2 In addition to physical disability, stroke causes tremendous emotional distress and a significant economic burden.3 Studies suggest that the global burden of stroke has been increasing during the past few decades. This increase has been attributed to aging populations and the rising prevalence of risk factors, particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Stroke symptoms, risk factors awareness and personal decision making in Chile. A national survey
Stroke is the second main cause of death and the first cause of acquired disability in the world.1 Even though there is a slight decrease in its incidence, DALYs and mortality rates in Latin America since 1990, the absolute numbers are increasing due to rapid population aging. In 2019 e there were 30,704 discharges of a new or recurrent stroke and 7,989 deaths related to stroke becoming the second main specific cause of death in Chile.23 Reperfusion therapy rates are low in Latin America,4-6 with many possible barriers including inequity in accessing complex systems of care for stroke.
