Identification of Acute Stroke Using Quantified Brain Electrical Activity
ConclusionsDespite a small population and the use of a classifier without the benefit of training on a stroke population, these data suggest that a rapidly acquired, easy‐to‐use system to assess brain electrical activity at the time of evaluation of acute stroke could be a valuable adjunct to current clinical practice.

Medical therapy does not confer stroke prevention for all patients; identification of high-risk patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis is still needed.
CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic CR + BMT does not provide overall late stroke prevention compared with BMT alone. Diabetics with a history of stroke, in particular, are at an increased risk of stroke despite BMT. Timely CR + BMT for high-risk patients is still indicated.

Adherence to Antithrombotic Treatment and Ischemic Stroke Recurrence in Egypt and Germany: A Comparative Analysis
Conclusions: The large stroke recurrence burden in Egypt may be partly explained by differing adherence to secondary preventative antithrombotic pharmacotherapy. Predictors of medication nonadherence have to be addressed to reduce stroke recurrence disparities.Cerebrovasc Dis

Ipsilateral hippocampal atrophy is associated with long‐term memory dysfunction after ischemic stroke in young adults
Abstract Memory impairment after stroke in young adults is poorly understood. In elderly stroke survivors memory impairments and the concomitant loss of hippocampal volume are usually explained by coexisting neurodegenerative disease (e.g., amyloid pathology) in interaction with stroke. However, neurodegenerative disease, such as amyloid pathology, is generally absent at young age. Accumulating evidence suggests that infarction itself may cause secondary neurodegeneration in remote areas. Therefore, we investigated the relation between long‐term memory performance and hippocampal volume in young patients with first‐eve...

Cognitive outcomes of pediatric stroke.
This study retrospectively examines cognitive outcomes in 41 children with a history of stroke, with reference to age at stroke, laterality, region and mechanism of stroke. In the course of recovery, neuropsychological measures of intellectual functioning and memory were administered at two time points, whilst executive functioning, attention and academic skills were administered at one time point. As predicted, children with stroke performed significantly worse compared to normative expectations on all neuropsychological measures. Up to two thirds of children scored in the borderline impaired and impaired ranges on at lea...

A Typology to Explain Changing Social Networks Post Stroke.
This study investigated whether social network types remain stable following a stroke, and if not, why some people shift network type. Research Design and Methods: We used a mixed methods design. Participants were recruited from two acute stroke units. They completed the Stroke Social Network Scale (SSNS) two weeks and six months post stroke and in-depth interviews 8-15 months following the stroke. Qualitative data was analysed using Framework Analysis; k-means cluster analysis was applied to the six-month data set. Results: Eighty-seven participants were recruited, 71 were followed up at six months, and 29 compl...

Practice Patterns in the Use of MRI/MRA and Chronic Transfusion Therapy for Monitoring and Treatment of Stroke in Pediatric Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia
Conclusions: The results of the DISPLACE practice patterns survey suggested nearly universal adoption of CRCT for children with abnormal TCD and prior overt stroke across sites. The use of MRI/MRA in detecting potential cerebrovascular abnormalities in the absence of clinical neurologic symptoms and for monitoring patients on CRCT was much more variable, which likely reflects the minimal amount of guidance for the use of MRI/MRA in SCA. Notably, a number of sites were using MRI/MRA to screen pediatric patients for cerebrovascular abnormalities and to monitor patients on CRCT. The variability in responses for MRI/MRA highli...

Value of routine echocardiography in the management of stroke.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Transthoracic echocardiography is routinely performed in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) to help plan secondary stroke management, but recent data evaluating its usefulness in this context are lacking. We sought to evaluate the value of echocardiography for identifying clinically actionable findings for secondary stroke prevention. METHODS: We conducted a multicentre cohort study of patients admitted to hospital with stroke or TIA between 2010 and 2015 at 2 academic hospitals in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Clinically actionable echocardiographic findings for secondar...

Mediterranean diet cuts heart and stroke risk
Conclusion The results of this randomised controlled trial appear to confirm previous studies that there are benefits to following a Mediterranean diet. The trial has many strengths, including its large size, long period of follow-up, thorough assessment of medical outcomes (including reviewing medical records and having contact with the family doctor), and careful attempts to assess whether the diets were being followed. As this is a randomised controlled trial, it should also balance out other health and lifestyle differences between the groups that may influence cardiovascular risk. This avoids the limitations of m...

HINTS Outperforms ABCD2 to Screen for Stroke in Acute Continuous Vertigo and Dizziness.
CONCLUSIONS: HINTS substantially outperforms ABCD2 for stroke diagnosis in ED patients with AVS. It also outperforms MRI obtained within the first 2 days after symptom onset. While HINTS testing has traditionally been performed by specialists, methods for empowering emergency physicians (EPs) to leverage this approach for stroke screening in dizziness should be investigated.

Trends in one-year mortality for stroke in a tertiary academic center in Saudi Arabia: a 5-year retrospective analysis
CONCLUSION: We observed no decline in stroke mortality in our center over the 5-year span. The establishment of stroke systems of care, use of thrombolytic agents, and opening of a stroke unit should play an important role in a decline in stroke mortality.  LIMITATIONS: Retrospective single center study. Mortality data were available only for patients who died in our hospital.
