“In this together”: Social identification predicts health outcomes (via self-efficacy) in a chronic disease self-management program
Conclusion The results are consistent with growing evidence of the value of a social identity-based approach in various health and clinical settings. The success of chronic disease self-management programs could be enhanced by attending to and augmenting group identification during and after the program.

Motor control of handwriting in the developing brain: A review.
Abstract This review focuses on the acquisition of writing motor aspects in adults, and in 5-to 12-year-old children without learning disabilities. We first describe the behavioural aspects of adult writing and dominant models based on the notion of motor programs. We show that handwriting acquisition is characterized by the transition from reactive movements programmed stroke-by-stroke in younger children, to an automatic control of the whole trajectory when the motor programs are memorized at about 10 years old. Then, we describe the neural correlates of adult writing, and the changes that could occur with learn...

Integrative executive function training in chronic stroke —A case example
Cognitive and functional impairments are common sequelae following stroke, often resulting in significant disabilities that persist years post‐stroke. While the degree of impairments varies with pathology and location of stroke, it is widely understood that executive dysfunction including disturbances of attention, complex information processing, inhibition, reasoning, and flexible thinking underlie a majority of the impairments. Existing rehabilitation approaches predominantly focus on mitigating targeted cognitive deficits (e.g., language disturbance, neglect of one side of the body, memory). Remediation approaches to ...

Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation Services in the United States: Brief Report from a Survey of Clinical Neuropsychologists.
Conclusions: Prior published surveys suggest that clinical neuropsychologists have a growing involvement in rehabilitation services within the United States but with little clarity as to the actual characteristics of actual professional activities and practices. The present study aimed to provide such information and hopefully will be helpful in promoting additional systematic studies in this area. PMID: 28431032 [PubMed - in process]

Excessive decline from premorbid functioning: detecting performance invalidity with the WAIS-IV and demographic predictions.
CONCLUSIONS: Both EDPF-FSIQ and EDPF-VW demonstrated excellent discrimination between patients providing valid versus invalid test performance. Unique advantages of EDPF validity measures include incorporation of demographic estimates of premorbid ability and examination of performances on multiple tests spanning different cognitive domains.

As long as you've got your health: Longitudinal relationships between positive affect and functional health in old age
Conclusion This finding, obtained from a sample of older people, is in keeping with the bottom-up approach, and supports the popular adage “As long as you've got your health”. Limitations of this finding are reviewed and discussed. Models including longitudinal mediators, such as biomarkers and life style patterns, are needed to clarify the nature of the link between these constructs.

SSRI antidepressants are not associated with cerebral microbleeds or ischaemic vascular lesions
ABSTRACT FROM: Aarts N, Akoudad S, Noordam R, et al. Inhibition of serotonin reuptake by antidepressants and cerebral microbleeds in the general population. Stroke 2014; 45:1951–7. What is already known on this topic In observational cohort studies, small increases in risk of stroke and transient ischaemic attacks have been shown to be associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants compared to no treatment for depression in the over 65 years age group when cardiovascular risk factors were adjusted.1 SSRI antidepressants might decrease platelet aggregation and increase bleeding2 bu...

Positive psychological health and stroke risk: The benefits of emotional vitality.
Conclusions: Higher levels of emotional vitality were prospectively associated with lower stroke risk in a representative sample of the U.S. population. Associations were independent of psychological distress. Results point to the potential importance of positive psychological functioning for cardiovascular health and for stroke prevention.

Depression after Minor Stroke: Prevalence and Predictors
: Severity of stroke and disability after stroke are major predictors of post-stroke depression (PSD). The prevalence of PSD in patients with minor stroke is expected to be low because minor stroke is characterized by mild neurological dysfunction. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and predictors of PSD in patients with minor ischemic stroke.

Assessment and Functional Impact of Allocentric Neglect: A Reminder from a Case Study.
We report here that SR suffers from both viewer-centered (i.e., egocentric) and object-centered (i.e., allocentric) spatial neglect. Notably, unlike most neuropsychological and functional assessments that focus on egocentric deficits, a specialized neuropsychological figurative discrimination test (the Apples test) revealed SR's allocentric neglect. Further, using assessments sensitive to detect functional deficits related to allocentric neglect, we observed SR's difficulty in reading and using clocks, reflecting his object-centered errors in these everyday activities. SR's case suggests that allocentric-specific assessmen...

Concerns about medications mediate the association of posttraumatic stress disorder with adherence to medication in stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: Increased concerns about medications explain a significant proportion of the association between PTSD symptoms and non-adherence to medication in stroke survivors. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION: What is already known on this subject? Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common after cardiovascular events, including stroke and transient ischemic attack. PTSD due to non-stroke cardiovascular events is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease recurrence and mortality. PTSD due to stroke is associated with increased risk for medication nonadherence in stroke survivors. What does this study add? While...

Evaluation of an ICF-based patient education programme for stroke patients: A randomized, single-blinded, controlled, multicentre trial of the effects on self-efficacy, life satisfaction and functioning.
CONCLUSION: There was no significant benefit of the ICF-based patient education in comparison with an attention-placebo control group. Considering the importance of the programme for the further implementation of the ICF and the need of developing effective health education interventions for stroke, the methodology used was reviewed and an updated version proposed. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION: What is already known on this subject? Stroke survivors frequently report dissatisfaction about content, delivery and timing of information provision on several aspects of the disease as well as on available support. Although several i...
