Reliability of the Theory of Mind Task Battery (ToM TB) to assess social cognition in post-stroke patients
Top Stroke Rehabil. 2021 Aug 1:1-8. doi: 10.1080/10749357.2021.1948155. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTheory of mind is the ability to understand, and infer thoughts or mental states to others. This is a central domain of social cognition that can be impaired after brain injury, resulting in changes in social skills and implications for rehabilitation.The aim of this investigation was to analyze the reliability of the Theory of Mind Task Battery (ToM TB) in post-stroke patients.This is a cross-sectional prospective study with psychometric characteristics, involving 38 patients diagnosed with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke ...

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic in stroke code activation and time from symptom onset to hospital arrival in a Portuguese comprehensive stroke centre
CONCLUSION: COVID-19 related factors probably reduced healthcare services utilization, and delayed emergency calls and hospital arrival after stroke onset. These highlight the importance of health education to improve the effectiveness of medical assistance. The preservation of in-hospital times validates the feasibility of the protected stroke code protocol.PMID:34291445 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7303.2020445

Readmissions and Mortality During the First Year After Stroke —Data From a Population-Based Incidence Study
Conclusions: Almost one-third of FELS survivors were readmitted/dead 1 year after their FELS-IH. This outcome persisted after the first months after stroke hospitalization in all stroke subtypes. More than half of readmissions were considered potentially avoidable or stroke related.

Translation into Brazilian Portuguese, cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validation of the Functional Ambulation Classification for the categorization of ambulation following a stroke in a clinical setting.
CONCLUSION: The translation, cross-cultural adaptation and measurement properties demonstrated that the FAC is a valid, reliable clinical measure for the categorization of ambulation in the Brazilian population of stroke survivors in a clinical setting. PMID: 32390129 [PubMed - in process]

Translation and validation of the stroke self-efficacy questionnaire to a Portuguese version in stroke survivors.
Conclusion: SSEQ-B is a valid, reliable, and stable patient-reported outcome. It has concurrent validity with self-reported measures of depression, functional independence and a multi-dimensional measure of health status in chronic stroke survivors in Brazil.

Etiologic Evaluation of Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults: A Comparative Study between Two European Centers
Introduction: Identifying the cause of ischemic stroke in young adults is often difficult. Our objective was to compare the etiologic diagnostic strategy for ischemic stroke in young adults between 2 European centers and investigate the influence of workup variations in the diagnosed etiologies. Patients and Methods: We included patients aged 18-55 years admitted for ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack to the stroke units of Santa Maria Hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, and Innsbruck University Hospital in Innsbruck, Austria, between 2014 and 2016.

Late Hospital Arrival for Thrombolysis after Stroke in Southern Portugal: Who Is at Risk?
Background: Delayed hospital arrival remains the main reason for the low rates of thrombolysis in eligible acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The role of socioeconomic and clinical factors for the prehospital delay of AIS remains poor and has never been studied in Portugal. Objectives: Describe the socioeconomic and clinical factors leading to delayed hospital admission of AIS patients eligible to thrombolysis. Methods: A case-control study with a consecutive thrombolyzed AIS patients from 2010 to 2015.

Predictors of long-term survival after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in southern Portugal: A retrospective study of a community representative population
Stroke survivors, particularly of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH), remain at high risk of death on the long-term [1 –3]. A meta-analysis of the long-term prognosis after SICH showed that the 1-year and 5-year mortality rates were 54% and 71% respectively [2]. Along with the post-stroke disability, the presence of underlying risk factors such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, diabete s mellitus and the coexistence of several other comorbidities may explain the high rates of mortality on the long-term [3,4].

Transcranial direct current stimulation in the modulation of neuropathic pain: a systematic review.
Discussion The shortage of good quality articles, the varying of ramp-on and ramp-off durations, and number of sessions, as well as the diversity of results found did not allow any definite conclusion on the efficacy of the neuromodulating effect of tDCS on NP.

Response to Commentary on “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study”
We appreciate the correspondence by Safiri and Ashrafi-Asgarabad regarding our article “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study” recently published in Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases.1 It appears as if the methods and objectives of our study were misinterpreted. The main objective was to ide ntify the 30-day in-hospital predictors of death based on demographic, clinical, and radiological variables and for that, multivariate analysis was performed.
