IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 1632: The Effect of Minimum and Maximum Air Temperatures in the Summer on Heat Stroke in Japan: A Time-Stratified Case-Crossover Study
We examined the impact of summer minimum air temperatures, which often represent nighttime temperatures, as well as a maximum temperature on a heat stroke. We collected data from the records of daily ambulance transports for heat strokes and meteorological data for July and August of 2017–2019 in the Tottori Prefecture, Japan. A time-stratified case-crossover design was used to determine the association of maximum/minimum air temperatures and the incidence of heat strokes. We used a logistic regression to identify factors associated with the severity of heat strokes. A total of 1108 cases were identified with 373 (33.7%)...

A Novel Risk Stratification System for Ischemic Stroke in Japanese Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: The HELT-E2S2score may be useful for identifying Japanese NVAF patients at risk of ischemic stroke.PMID:33762526 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-20-1075

Long-Term Outcome in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke and Heart Failure
CONCLUSIONS: AIS patients with HF were associated with poor functional outcome at the 1-year follow up. Further multicenter studies involving a larger number of patients are warranted to verify these results.PMID:35444111 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-21-0937

Assessment of changes in muscle mass, strength, and quality and activities of daily living in elderly stroke patients
This study included 179 patients. Patients received stroke rehabilitation 7 days a week individually. Muscle strength and quality significantly increased after 4 weeks on both the sides. Muscle mass decreased after 4 weeks; however, there was no significant difference between the two time points. Changes in muscle strength and quality showed a significant correlation with improvement in ADLs [r = 0.66 (male), 0.45 (female) and 0.55 (male), 0.31 (female), respectively]; however, muscle mass showed no correlation with improvement in ADLs. Poststroke rehabilitation improves muscle strength and quality, as well as ADLs. Muscle...

Short-term associations of ambient air pollution with hospital admissions for ischemic stroke in 97 Japanese cities
We examined the association between four regularly measured major ambient air pollutants, i.e., sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), photochemical oxidants (Ox), and particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), and hospital admissions for ischemic stroke by analyzing 3 years of nationwide claims data from 97 cities in Japan. We first estimated city-specific results by using generalized additive models with a quasi-Poisson regression, and we obtained the national average by combining city-specific results with the use of random-effect models. We identified a total of 335,248 hospital admission...

Detailed phenotype of < em > RNF213 < /em > p.R4810K variant identified by the Chinese patients with acute ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack
CONCLUSIONS: The RNF213 p.R4810K variant was associated with LAA, anterior circulation stenosis and ECAS in Chinese patients. Given the low carrying rate and only 1-year follow-up information, caution should be taken to interpret our findings in no statistically significant association between the p.R4810K variant and stroke prognosis in Chinese patients.PMID:37137523 | DOI:10.1136/svn-2022-002276

Correspondence Unmet challenges for rehabilitation after stroke in China
Stroke is an important public health problem in China, and is one of the leading causes of death and disability. About 2 500 000 people have a stroke in China every year, and 70–80% of patients lose the ability to perform routine activities and require care, resulting in an economic burden for both the country and their family.1 Japan has a similar incidence of stroke because of similar ancestry, but outcomes a fter stroke are better in Japan than in China. In Japan, 64·2% of young patients (age
