Effects of Early Exercise Engagement on Vascular Risk in Patients with Transient Ischemic Attack and Nondisabling Stroke
The objective of this study was to conduct a randomized, parallel-group clinical trial assessed the efficacy of a health-enhancing physical activity program (exercise and education) on vascular risk factors and aerobic fitness in patients who have experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or nondisabling stroke. Sixty patients (69 ± 11 years) completed a baseline (BL) vascular risk stratification and aerobic fitness examination (cycle test) within 2 weeks of symptom onset. Subjects were then randomized to either an 8-week, twice weekly exercise program or to a usual-care control (CON) group. Postintervention (PI) ...

Educational Program Improved Senior Preparedness to Call 911 as a Response to Stroke
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in most parts of the world.1 Even though treatment is available, its benefit is highly time-dependent.2,3 Frequently, a minority of patients receive appropriate therapy4 due to low public stroke and heart attack awareness, which leads to delays in medical emergency activation.5 –7

Methods and early recruitment of the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi —Post-acute Care (BASIC-PAC) Project
Mexican Americans (MAs) are the most numerous sub-group of Latinx, the largest minority population in the United States. This important sub-group is aging and growing rapidly. Stroke incidence is similar in MAs compared with non-Hispanic whites (NHWs),1 and MA stroke survivors have worse neurologic, functional, cognitive and quality of life outcomes at 90-days post-stroke compared with NHWs for reasons that are not completely understood.2 Worse stroke outcomes in MAs are not fully explained by socio-demographics, including education and insurance, stroke treatment, stroke severity or subtype, or pre-stroke factors.

Knowledge of Transient Ischemic Attack among the Japanese
Stroke is often preceded by a transient ischemic attack (TIA). To properly recognize TIA and take prompt initial action, all citizens should be fully educated about TIA. Our objective is to evaluate how much knowledge of TIA has spread among Japanese citizens. As a preliminary study with this goal, we conducted an Internet-based questionnaire survey of 30,000 Japanese citizens aged 20 years or more, excluding health care professionals, from across Japan to investigate their awareness and knowledge of stroke and TIA. Valid responses were obtained from 11,121 Japanese citizens, aged 44.8 ± 13.1 (mean ± SD) years. The mos...

Impact of Gender and Blood Pressure on Poststroke Cognitive Decline among Older Latinos
Conclusions: Among this population of older Mexican Americans, PSCD did not differ by gender. We found no evidence that systolic BP influenced PSCD in women or men.

Response to the Letter to the Editor by Kishore et al.
We appreciate these comments on our recently published article on the referral pattern of patients with acute retinal arterial ischemia at our institution.1 As Dr. Kishore et al. know, we have been trying for quite some time now to educate eye care providers regarding the need to have these patients immediately evaluated in emergency facilities with the help of neurologists with an expertise in stroke. Over the past decade, we alerted the ophthalmology community to the necessity of following previously published guidelines by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association.

Race, Socioeconomic Status, and Gastrostomy after Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Introduction: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a disabling form of stroke, and some patients will require nutritional interventions for dysphagia. We sought to determine if socioeconomic status indicators mediate whether minorities undergo gastrostomy tube placement. Materials and Methods: Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage were enrolled in a single center, observational cohort study from 2010 to 2017. A socioeconomic index score was imputed using neighborhood characteristics by patients ’ ZIP code, according to an established method utilizing 6 indicators of wealth/income, education, and occupation.

Vascular Cellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and Memory Impairment in African-Americans after Small Vessel-Type Stroke
We examined whether inflammatory/endothelial dysfunction biomarkers are associated with cognition after SVS in AAs. Methods: Biomarkers were obtained in 24 subjects (median age 56.5 years, 54% women, median 12 years education). Cognition was assessed more than 6 weeks poststroke using the memory composite score (MCS), which was generated using recall from the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-II and Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised.

Retinal Vascular Fractal Dimension Is Associated with Cognitive Dysfunction
This study examined the relationship of retinal vascular fractal dimension and other retinal vascular parameters with cognitive dysfunction in an older Asian population. Subjects aged 60 years and older from the Singapore Malay Eye Study were selected for analysis. Retinal vascular fractal dimension (Df) and other quantitative retinal vascular parameters (branching angle, tortuosity, and caliber) were measured based on a standardized grading protocol from photographs of the retinal fundus using a computer-assisted program. Qualitative retinal signs were also assessed from photographs. Cognitive dysfunction was defined as a...

Dual Task Walking Reveals Cognitive Dysfunction in Community-dwelling Elderly Subjects: The Sefuri Brain MRI Study
The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of subclinical brain lesions and cognitive function on gait performance with or without concurrent cognitive task in community-dwelling elderly subjects. Participants without dementia (92 men and 109 women with a mean age of 67.8 years) underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging, neuropsychologic tests, and gait measurements. Impaired gait velocity of the Timed Up and Go test was associated with deep white matter lesions (odds ratio [OR], 2.338; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.120-4.880) and diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.725; 95% CI, 1.120-6.630) after adjusted for age, sex, ...
