Telerehabilitation Approaches for Stroke Patients: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Stroke remains one of the most common causes of adult disability in the world. In recent years, diverse telerehabilitation programs have been conceived and studied to improve the abilities of the activities of daily living and increased independence of stroke patients living at home. The systematic review was conducted to determine whether telerehabilitation leads to an improvement in abilities of activities of daily living for stroke patients.

Expression of the Endocannabinoid Receptor 1 in Human Stroke: An Autoptic Study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the world. The endocannabinoid (eCB) system is upregulated in several neurological diseases including stroke. A previous animal study demonstrated an increased expression of the endocannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) in the penumbra area surrounding the ischemic core, suggesting a crucial role in inflammation/reperfusion after stroke. Regarding the localization of CB1/CB2 receptors, animal studies showed that cortical neurons, activated microglia, and astroglia are involved.

Prediction of Ischemic Stroke-Associated Pneumonia: A Comparison between 3 Scores
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Among all poststroke complications, pneumonia constitutes a major complication with a strong impact on morbidity and mortality. To identify patients at high risk of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) and to tailor a prophylactic approach, a reliable scoring model for prediction may be useful in daily stroke care.

The Prognostic Value of the iScore, the PLAN Score, and the ASTRAL Score in Acute Ischemic Stroke
In this study, we evaluated the ability of 3 prognostic models including the iScore, the PLAN score, and the ASTRAL score in predicting clinical poor outcomes or mortality at 6 months in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Hospital-Based Study of the Frequency and Risk Factors of Stroke Recurrence in Two Years in China
Stroke causes death and disability throughout the world and recurrent stroke events are more likely to be disabling or fatal. We conducted a hospital-based study to investigate the frequency and influence factors of stroke recurrence in China.

Disrupted Ionic Homeostasis in Ischemic Stroke and New Therapeutic Targets
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability. All neuroprotectants targeting excitotoxicity have failed to become stroke medications. In order to explore and identify new therapeutic targets for stroke, we here reviewed present studies of ionic transporters and channels that are involved in ischemic brain damage.

The Use of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Stroke Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review
Stroke is a leading cause of disability. Alternative and more effective techniques for stroke rehabilitation have been sought to overcome limitations of conventional therapies. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) arises as a promising tool in this context. This systematic review aims to provide a state of the art on the application of rTMS in stroke patients and to assess its effectiveness in clinical rehabilitation of motor function.

Meta-Analysis on the Association between Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Polymorphism rs6265 and Ischemic Stroke, Poststroke Depression
Ischemic stroke is a multifactorial neurologic injury that causes mortality and disability worldwide. Poststroke depression is the most important neuropsychiatric consequence of stroke. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a neurotrophin family member that plays key role in regulating neuron survival and differentiation. Studies found a polymorphism in brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene (rs6265) may associate with the ischemic stroke and poststroke depression risk. However, the results are inconclusive and inconsistent.

Recurrent Acute Ischemic Stroke after Infective Endocarditis Caused by Streptococcus Constellatus: First Case Report and Analysis of the Case Series
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is highly prevalent in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) and associated with high rates of death and disability. IE presenting as an acute ischemic stroke, especially recurrent concurrence of acute anterior and posterior circulation infarct, has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a case study of a 60-year-old man with a history of aortic valve replacement and was under warfarin, presented with recurrent acute ischemic stroke which was found to have no vegetation secondary to infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus constellatus as the embolic source.

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Clinically Defined Heart Failure to Predict 90-Day Functional Outcome After Ischemic Stroke
Heart failure (HF) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and post-stroke disability. However, differing definitions and application of HF-criteria may impact model prediction. We compared the predictive ability of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), a readily available objective echocardiographic index, with clinical HF definitions for functional disability and AF in stroke patients.

Early Motor-Behavioral Outcome of Ischemic Stroke with Ketogenic Diet Preconditioning: Interventional Animal Study
Background: Cerebral stroke, with ischemic stroke being its most common type, is the leading cause of chronic disability. The ketogenic diet has been used for treating seizures for centuries and has been considered to be a treatment for other neurologic diseases in recent years. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of ketogenic diet preconditioning on the early motor-behavior outcome of rats with induced cerebral ischemic stroke. Methods: Twenty-four rats were surveyed in 3 groups of Main, Control, and Sham.

Constraint Induced Movement Therapy as a Rehabilitative Strategy for Ischemic Stroke —Linking Neural Plasticity with Restoration of Skilled Movements
Stroke leads to devastating impact on health as well as quality of life making it one of the leading causes of disability. Restoring the functions of upper extremities after ischemic (ISC) stroke is one of the challenges for rehabilitation. Lack of trained professionals and accessibility to rehabilitation centers are limited in many counties. Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) has been practiced in regaining the functional activity following stroke. CIMT can be practiced with minimum clinical set up which makes it cost effective.
