Adductor Pollicis Muscle Thickness and Obesity Are Associated with Poor Outcome after Stroke: A Cohort Study
Nutritional status may influence outcome after stroke. It is possible that some obese individuals present reduced fat-free mass.

Hematological Abnormalities and Malnutrition Mediate Pathway between Cancer and Outcomes in Ischemic Stroke Patients
The present study aimed to examine whether variables including D-dimer, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), hemoglobin, platelet count, and nutritional status mediate the pathway between cancer and ischemic stroke outcomes.

Reducing the Risk of Stroke in Patients with Impaired Renal Function: Nutritional Issues
Patients with renal failure have extremely high cardiovascular risk; in dialysis patients the risk of stroke is increased approximately 10-fold over that in the general population. Reasons include not only a high prevalence of traditional risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia, but also the accumulation of toxic substances that are eliminated by the kidneys, so have very high levels in patients with renal failure. These include plasma total homocysteine, asymmetric dimethylarginine, thiocyanate, and toxic products of the intestinal microbiome (Gut-Derived Uremic Toxins; GDUT), which include trimethyla...

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.

Use of Antipsychotics is Negatively Associated with Muscle Strength in Older Adults with Sarcopenia after Stroke
The mainstay of treatment for sarcopenia is muscle mass and strength increase through exercise and nutritional intervention.1 A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of combined exercise and nutritional therapy for sarcopenia in older people showed that this combination may have positive effects on improving walking speed within 3 months of intervention.2 Furthermore, supplementation with whey protein, essential amino acids, and vitamin D, in conjunction with age-appropriate exercise has been reported to boost fat-free mass and strength.

Response to the Letter to the editor, JSCVD-D-22-01922
Tokyo Bay Rehabilitation Hospital started a multi-disciplinary nutrition support team (NST) when it was established in 2007. The rehabilitation programs managed by physiatrists aim to achieve the highest activities of daily living (ADLs) for patients with subacute stroke, regardless of the length of stay (LOS).

Prognostic significance of pre-procedural prognostic nutritional index in patients with carotid artery stenting
Inflammation and malnutrition play a critical role in the outcomes of patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS). Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is commonly utilized to evaluate the peri-operative immune-nutritional status of patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery and is independently associated with survival. We assessed the association between immune-nutritional status, indexed by PNI, and outcomes in CAS patients.

Ro25-6981 alleviates neuronal damage and improves cognitive deficits by attenuating oxidative stress via the Nrf2/ARE pathway in ischemia/reperfusion rats
Cerebral ischemia ‒reperfusion injury (CIRI) refers to the phenomenon that structural damage and dysfunction of the brain are further aggravated when blood perfusion is restored after cerebral ischemia for a certain time, which mainly causes apoptosis or necrosis of nerve cells.1 CIRI will result in severe cognitiv e and motor dysfunction.2,3 The current treatments are mainly thrombolysis, intervention, nutritional nerve, and rehabilitation training, but they cannot completely restore the neurological function of patients.
