The population attributable risk and clustering of stroke risk factors in different economical regions of China
The greatest regional variation in stroke prevalence exists in China. However, whether there are differences in population attributable risk (PAR) and clustering of stroke risk factors among regions resulting in stroke geographic variation is unclear.
We conducted face-to-face surveys of residents of 14 provinces from September 2016 to May 2017 who participated in the Chinese Stroke Screening and Prevention Project. We compared the specific PAR values of eight risk factors and the different cluster rates and patterns in China.
A total of 84,751partipants were included. Eight factors accounted for 70% to 80% of the PAR of...

Deceleration capacity for rapid risk stratification in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke: A prospective exploratory pilot study
Deceleration capacitiy for rapid risk stratification in stroke patients
Cerebral ischemia is a major cause of neurologic deficit and patients suffering from ischemic stroke bear a relevant risk of mortality. Identifying stroke patients at high mortality risk is of crucial clinical relevance. Deceleration capacity of heart rate (DC) as a parameter of cardiac autonomic function is an excellent predictor of mortality in myocardial infarction and heart failure patients.
The aim of our study was to evaluate whether DC provides prognostic information regarding mortality risk in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Does a combination treatment of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and occupational therapy improve upper limb muscle paralysis equally in patients with chronic stroke caused by cerebral hemorrhage and infarction?: A retrospective cohort study
This study aimed to determine this difference in improvement of upper extremity paralysis using 2-week in-hospital NovEl intervention Using Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with Occupational therapy (NEURO).
We scrutinized the medical records of all patients with poststroke (ICH or CI) upper extremity muscle paralysis using Fugl-Meyer assessments (FMAs) who had been admitted to 6 hospitals between March 2010 and December 2018 for rehabilitation treatment. This was a multiinstitutional, open-label, retrospective cohort study without control patients. We evaluated the effects of NEURO on patients with...

An association between electronic nicotine delivery systems use and a history of stroke using the 2016 behavioral risk factor surveillance system
This study aims to assess, using a survey representative of the USA general population, if an association exists between a history of ENDS use and a history of stroke.
This cross-sectional study was a secondary data analysis using the 2016 behavioral risk factor surveillance system survey. The main exposure variable of the study was a self-reported history of ENDS use. The main outcome was a self-reported history of stroke. Covariates included sex, race, traditional cigarette use, smokeless tobacco use, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic...

Exploring community-dwelling stroke survivors’ experiences of receiving a nurse-led theory-based stroke self-management programme: A qualitative study
This study concurred that the SSMP enhanced stroke survivors’ self-efficacy in self-management. Rearrangement of the programme format and enhancements in accessibility could be further examined to enable more effective stroke self-management.

Utility of ultrasound as a promising diagnostic tool for stroke-related sarcopenia: A retrospective pilot study
This study aimed to examine the correlation between ultrasonographic quadriceps muscle thickness (QMT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) derived appendicular lean mass (ALM) in patients with acute hemiplegic stroke. Twenty five participants were included (13 men and 12 women) in this study, who were diagnosed with stroke within 1 month. For both paretic and non-paretic legs, QMT was measured by an ultrasound and ALM was obtained by performing DXA scan. We analyzed the difference and the correlation between ultrasonographic QMT and DXA-derived lean body mass of both paretic and non-paretic legs. Stroke patients wer...

Reduced Stroke Risk After Parathyroidectomy in End-Stage Renal Disease: A 13-Year Population-Based Cohort Study
Abstract: Research information on the risk of stroke in patients with dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who have undergone parathyroidectomy (PTX) is scant.
We used a nationwide health insurance claims database to select all patients with dialysis-dependent ESRD age 18 years and older for the study population. Of the patients with ESRD, we selected 1083 patients who had undergone PTX between 1998 and 2006 as the PTX group and frequency-matched 1083 patients with ESRD by sex, age, years since the disease diagnosis, and the year of undergoing PTX as the non-PTX group.
We used a multivariate Cox proportional h...

What Do Stroke Patients Look for in Game-Based Rehabilitation: A Survey Study
Abstract: Stroke is one of the most common causes of physical disability, and early, intensive, and repetitive rehabilitation exercises are crucial to the recovery of stroke survivors. Unfortunately, research shows that only one third of stroke patients actually perform recommended exercises at home, because of the repetitive and mundane nature of conventional rehabilitation exercises. Thus, to motivate stroke survivors to engage in monotonous rehabilitation is a significant issue in the therapy process.
Game-based rehabilitation systems have the potential to encourage patients continuing rehabilitation exercises at home....
