The effect of statins on National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NiHSS) in Ischemic stroke.
Conclusion. According to the findings of this research, taking statins before the onset of stroke and immediately after it showed no significant difference in the level of following dysfunction, measured with NIHSS, and further studies are necessary.

Factors that influence the severity of post-stroke depression.
CONCLUSION: The location of the stroke and the NIHSS score could be related to the severity of post-stroke depression. Abbreviations: NIHSS = The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; QQL = Quality of life Scale; BDI = Beck Depression Inventory; MMSE = Mini-Mental State Examination; PSD = Post-stroke depression; MRI = Magnetic resonance imaging.

Predictors of early infection in cerebral ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Patients with older age, tube feeding, lower conscious level, worse baseline stroke severity, large cerebral infarcts in CT scan, and increased IL-10 serum level were more susceptible to infection. The baseline serum level of IL-10 ≥ 14.5 pg/ ml and the size of infarct area > 3.5 cm3 were the independent predictors of PSI.

Low-frequency rTMS in patients with subacute ischemic stroke: clinical evaluation of short and long-term outcomes and neurophysiological assessment of cortical excitability.
This study is the first to measure the dynamics of cortical excitability by TMS mapping before and after treatment with low-frequency (LF) rTMS in the contralesional hemisphere at three different timepoints. Furthermore, the patients were clinically evaluated during the same visit as the mapping to establish both short and long-term outcomes after rTMS treatment.
METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 16 participants with acute ischemic stroke were assessed 10 days post-stroke by TMS mapping. The patients were randomized into two equal groups: a real rTMS group and a sham group. The rTMS group received LF-rTMS to the contrale...

Cerebrolysin and early neurorehabilitation in patients with acute ischemic stroke: a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study.
Conclusions - Cerebrolysin had a beneficial effect on global neurological status and disability. The beneficial results of this study can be easily applied in the current clinical practice. Abbreviations: BI = Barthel Index; CB = Changes from Baseline; CI = Confidence interval; ICH = International Conference on Harmonization; ITT = intention-to-treat; LB = Lower Bound of Confidence Interval; mRS = modified Rankin Scale; MW = Mann-Whitney; NIHSS = National Institute for Health Stroke Scale; P = P-value; R = Valid Number Reference Group (Placebo); SD = standard deviation; T = Valid Number Test Group (Cerebrolysin); UB = Uppe...

Efficacy and safety of Cerebrolysin treatment in early recovery after acute ischemic stroke: a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multicenter clinical trial.
Conclusions. Cerebrolysin was effective, safe, and well tolerated in the early recovery phase after acute ischemic stroke and significantly improved neurological and global function outcomes compared to placebo.

The economic burden of stroke: a systematic review of cost of illness studies
J Med Life. 2021 Sep-Oct;14(5):606-619. doi: 10.25122/jml-2021-0361.ABSTRACTStroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. As the number of stroke cases is rising from one year to another, policymakers require data on the amount spent on stroke to enforce better financing policies for prevention, hospital care, outpatient rehabilitation services and social services. We aimed to systematically assess the economic burden of stroke at global level. Cost of stroke studies were retrieved from five databases. We retrieved the average cost per patient, where specified, or estimated it using a top-down a...
