Stroke incidence is highest in women and non-Hispanic blacks living with HIV in the AIDS Clinical Trials Group Longitudinal Linked Randomized Trials cohort
Conclusion: Women and non-Hispanic Blacks living with HIV had the highest incidence rates of stroke/TIA. A concerted effort must be made to include PLWH from these at-risk groups in observational and interventional studies aimed at understanding stroke mechanisms and reducing stroke risk in HIV infection. Strategies to modify stroke risk in PLWH should employ a multipronged approach targeting vascular risk factors and engaging and retaining patients in HIV care.

What are the perceptions and experiences of falls amongst people with stroke who live in the community?
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the perceived negative consequences of falls amongst people with stroke, and the potential contribution of falls to the reduced levels of physical activity often seen following a stroke. Our findings emphasise the need to address falls and balance related self-efficacy alongside strategies to promote safe mobility. A paradigm shift may be needed to highlight potentially modifiable intrinsic risk factors and emphasise the relevance and value of proactive fall prevention to people with stroke. Implications for rehabilitation People with stroke may not report falls or may minimise their sign...

Gut Microbiota-Derived Short-Chain Fatty Acids Promote Post-Stroke Recovery in Aged Mice.
Conclusions:This is the first study suggesting that the poor stroke recovery in aged mice can be reversed via "post-stroke bacteriotherapy" following the replenishment of youthful gut microbiome via modulation of immunologic, microbial and metabolomic profiles in the host.

First Automated Stroke Imaging Evaluation via Electronic Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score in a Mobile Stroke Unit
Conclusions: This study on the integration of e-ASPECTS into the prehospital stroke management via a MSU showed for the first time that such integration is feasible, and aids both decision regarding the treatment option and the triage regarding the most appropriate target hospital.Cerebrovasc Dis 2016;42:332-338

Gait analysis in hemiplegic stroke survivors who used the one-arm motorized walker.
CONCLUSION: The one-arm motorized walker may have a positive effect on the improvement of gait ability in hemiplegic stroke survivors. It can be an effective walking aid for hemiplegic stroke survivors who experience difficulties in independent walking. PMID: 31306144 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post-stroke gait training practices in a low resource setting: A cross-sectional survey among Indian physiotherapists
CONCLUSION: The findings of the study point toward a lack of evidence-based practice among Indian physiotherapists while training gait after stroke. This implied the urgent need for development and implementation of country specific guidelines for stroke rehabilitation.PMID:33967067 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-210013

Knee posture during gait and global functioning post-stroke: a theoretical ICF framework using current measures in stroke rehabilitation.
Conclusions: AKP restricts functioning and participation. Implications for Rehabilitation Identification of abnormal knee posture in gait can indicate potential assessment and treatment priorities, e.g. knee flexor strength is a major determinant of functioning in patients with abnormal knee posture and should be assessed. The identification of an abnormal knee posture post-stroke seems relevant for planning patient's long-term needs (e.g. amount of caregiver support). The interpretation of functional measures based on the ICF framework can enhance clinical-reasoning in rehabilitation post-stroke. PMID: 25095902 [PubM...

TIA triage in emergency department using acute MRI (TIA‐TEAM): A feasibility and safety study
ConclusionTIA triage in the ED using a protocol with neurological consultation and acute MRI is feasible and safe. The majority of patients were discharged without hospitalization and rates of recurrent stroke were not higher than predicted.

Stroke in HIV-infected African Americans: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract The risk of having a first stroke is nearly twice as high among African Americans compared to Caucasians. HIV/AIDS is an independent risk factor for stroke. Our study aimed to report the risk factors and short-term clinical outcomes of African Americans with HIV infection and new-onset stroke admitted at the Johns Hopkins Hospitals (2000–2012). Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the association between potential predictors and odds of an unfavorable outcome, defined as a higher modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score on hospital discharge. African Americans comprised 105/125 (84 %) of HIV-inf...

History of AIDS in HIV-Infected Patients Is Associated With Higher In-Hospital Mortality Following Admission for Acute Myocardial Infarction and Stroke
Conclusions. Patients with a history of AIDS were significantly more likely than uninfected patients to die during hospitalization after admission for AMI or stroke. This disparity was not observed when infected patients without a history of AIDS were compared to uninfected patients, implying that preserving immune function may improve cardiovascular outcomes in HIV-infected persons.
