Identification of a know-do gap: An observational study of the assessment and treatment of dysphagia during inpatient stroke rehabilitation in primary healthcare in Norway
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified gaps between current and best practices and opportunities to improve assessment, decision-making, and implement evidence-based practices.PMID:36976923 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2194090

Response to Letter to the Editor
We thank the authors for their interest in our article and the thoughtful comments. As they correctly point out, the association between the first vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCov -19 vaccine and the described symptoms in our article does not prove any causality. However, cutaneous hemorrhages and headaches were frequently reported side effects after vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCov-19 in the Norwegian corona study cohort in young and previously healthy subjects. In lack of previous experience, there was a fear that these symptoms may have represented a mild form of VITT.

Alf Brodal's stroke in 1972: A brilliant self-report by a neuroanatomy professor
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2022 Nov 5:S0035-3787(22)00779-2. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2022.06.015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlf Brodal (1910-1988) was a professor of anatomy at the University of Oslo, Norway, and the author of almost 200 articles and medical textbooks including Neurological Anatomy in Relation to Clinical Neurology. He suffered a right hemisphere embolic stroke during a lecture trip abroad in April 1972. In the following year, he described his own clinical picture and the recovery process in an article published in Brain, making insightful observations based on his vast neuroanatomical knowledge. His comments a...

Decompressive hemicraniectomy for space-occupying brain infarction: Nationwide population-based registry study
We analyzed data from the Norwegian Stroke Registry (NSR) to study access to and outcomes of decompressive hemicraniectomy for brain infarction in a nationwide routine clinical setting. We also discretionary assessed whether the outcomes were comparable with those achieved in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and whether the use was in accordance with guidelines.

Longitudinal Brain Changes After Stroke and the Association With Cognitive Decline
ConclusionAtrophy in the ipsilesional hemisphere was greater than in the contralesional hemisphere over time. This effect was found to be more prominent in the right hemisphere, pointing to a possible higher resilience to stroke of the left hemisphere. Lastly, greater atrophy of the cortex and subcortex, as well as larger stroke volume, were associated with worse cognition over time and should be included in risk assessments of cognitive decline after stroke.

Improved Cognitive Function in the Tromso Study in Norway From 2001 to 2016
Discussion Cognitive results were better in more recent-born birth cohorts compared with earlier born, assessed at the same age. The improvement was present in all cognitive domains, suggesting an overall improvement in cognitive performance. The 80-year-olds assessed in 2015–2016 performed like 60-year-olds assessed in 2001. The improved scores were associated with increased education level, increase in modest drinking frequency, increased physical activity, and, for men, smoking cessation and increased height.

Stroke admission rates before, during and after the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic
ConclusionThe period of COVID-19 lockdown was associated with a temporary reduction in total admissions of strokes. In particular, there were fewer with TIA and mild stroke. Given the need to prevent the worsening of symptoms and risk of recurrence, it is necessary to emphasise the importance to seek medical care even in states of emergency.

The Outcome of Status Epilepticus and Long-Term Follow-Up
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of regular care and patient follow-up. Introduction Status epilepticus (SE) is a condition and most extreme form of epilepsy (1), which leads to abnormal and prolonged seizure (at least 5 min). In case SE persists over 30 min, it may have severe long-term consequences (2). Referring to the new classification scheme of SE, there are two operational dimensions of the definition: time point 1 (T1) is associated with abnormally prolonged seizure, when therapy should be initiated, while time point 2 (T2) is related to the time of on-going seizure activity involving a risk...
