Importance of Retesting for the Final Diagnosis of Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment
Conclusions: We established the prevalence of CogI and its course after 6 months in a well-defined group of patients after a mild ischaemic stroke (mean NIHSS: 2 and mean mRS: 1 at the discharge). Our results show that the prevalence of CogI after an ischaemic stroke at discharge is relatively high (74%), and it tends to be a spontaneous reduction. Cognitive functions were changed in 35% of patients. The definition of PSCI was completed in only 24% of individuals. Only an examination several months after a stroke can give us more accurate information about the true prevalence of persistent CogI after a stroke.PMID:36984638...

Predictive value of inflammatory indicators for post-stroke depression in patients with ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated NLR and PLR at admission and levels of IL-17 and IL-6 at 2 weeks after admission are all independent predictors of the occurrence of PSD at 3 months after stroke. PMID: 31270044 [PubMed - in process]

Interprofessional learning on a stroke unit
This article outlines the development of a practice‐based interprofessional learning initiative on a stroke unit. The World Health Organization has advocated that future health care professionals should be ‘collaborative practice ready’ MethodsA half‐day seminar was developed by King's College London in conjunction with an interprofessional clinical team from the Stroke Unit at St Thomas' Hospital. Students were assigned discipline‐specific supervisors who allocated them to care for a patient within the confines of their usual professional role. They were asked to present the patient to a mixed‐discipline grou...
