Trends in the Prevalence of Stroke Among Community-Dwelling Individuals in the US, 1999-2018
This cross-sectional study estimates trends in stroke prevalence representative of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of US adults 20 years and older using data from the 1999 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.

The controlling nutritional status score and risk factors associated with malnutrition in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsMore than half of the patients with AIS were at risk of malnutrition, with age and neurological deficits being identified as risk factors for nutritional control. Hyperlipidemia was found to be a protective factor of the CONUT, while NRS-2002 and BMI did not affect the nutritional control in patients with AIS.

The association between HDL ‐C and stroke in the middle‐aged and elderly: A cross‐sectional study
ConclusionWe found a nonlinear relationship between HDL-C and total stroke. Our study reveals a range of inverse associations between HDL-C and stroke (HDL-C<1.55  mmol/L), especially among men and Whites. This finding suggested that maintaining an appropriate HDL-C range may be beneficial in reducing the incidence of stroke.

Prognostic value of inflammation biomarkers for 30-day mortality in critically ill patients with stroke
ConclusionNLR, NAR, and RA were potential prognostic biomarkers for predicting 30-day mortality of hemorrhagic stroke patients, which might provide clinicians an easy and cheap way to quickly identify patients with high risk of mortality.

Association between fatigue and cytokine profiles in patients with ischemic stroke
ConclusionThe present findings suggested an association between the growth factor SCF and fatigue. Future research on cytokines as possible markers of fatigue should focus on a longitudinal design including a sufficiently large number of study participants to enable testing associations between certain cytokines and sub-groups of chronic fatigue.

Evident lower blood levels of multiple nutritional compounds and highly prevalent malnutrition in sub-acute stroke patients with or without dysphagia
This study shows that malnutrition is highly prevalent in sub-acute stroke patients during rehabilitation. Even though patients with OD were more likely to be malnourished, blood levels of specific nutritional compounds were similarly lower in stroke patients with or without OD compared to healthy reference subjects. Furthermore, subgroup analysis showed similarly lower blood levels of specific nutritional compounds in patients that are normal nourished vs. patients with (risk of) malnutrition. This might imply disease-specific changes in blood levels on top of overall protein-energy malnutrition. The results of the curren...

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D is associated with stroke history in a reverse J-shape
ConclusionUsing data from a large, cross-sectional cohort program, we found that circulating 25(OH)D was related to stroke history in a reverse J-shaped manner. Given how the causal relationship between circulating 25(OH)D and history of stroke has not been established, more high-quality evidence based on the reverse J-shaped feature is needed to elucidate the link between vitamin D and stroke risk, and the effect of vitamin D supplements on stroke prevention.

Comment on relationship between initial nutritional status and functional independence measures at discharge in subacute stroke
In a study recently published in this journal, Kamimoto et al.1 reported the relationship between initial nutritional status and functional independence measures at discharge (FIMTM) in subacute stroke. Rehabilitation nutrition in stroke is very important, because Yoshimura et al. reported that the presence or absence of sarcopenia2 and hemoglobin level3 at admission, which are associated with nutrition status, were related to the recovery of ADL after stroke. However, the report by Kamimoto et al.

The HALP (hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet) score is associated with early-onset post-stroke cognitive impairment
ConclusionLow HALP score at admission was found to be correlated with early-onset PSCI and may help clinicians in the early identification of high-risk patients.

The association between nutritional intake one week after admission and outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients
In the acute stage of stroke, there are multiple factors that disturb oral intake, such as impaired consciousness and dysphagia.1,2 Malnutrition is an important problem in acute stroke patients ’ care. Some studies have shown that adequate nutritional management can improve the length of hospitalization, long-term outcome, and mortality.3–6 Poor oral status is associated with sarcopenia, which reduces muscle mass and strength in postacute stroke patients.7 Sarcopenia brought on by maln utrition diminishes activities of daily living (ADLs) and has an adverse impact on the improvement of swallowing function.

Malnutrition risk and oropharyngeal dysphagia in the chronic post-stroke phase
ConclusionIn this specific sample of referred stroke patients, moderate to severe OD and moderate to high risk of malnutrition were common. Despite the use of clinical practice guidelines on stroke and a normal nutritional status at first sight, repeated screening for malnutrition and monitoring the severity and management of OD remain important elements in the care of patients with chronic post-stroke OD.

The effect of acupuncture on enteral nutrition and gastrointestinal dynamics in patients who have suffered a severe stroke
CONCLUSION: Acupuncture improved the enteral nutrition status of patients who had suffered a severe stroke and promoted gastrointestinal motility. The combination of acupuncture and early enteral nutrition could reduce damage to the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier caused by stress, changes in metabolism, and improved gastrointestinal function.PMID:35996236 | DOI:10.2174/1567202619666220822123023
