Mixtures of long-term exposure to ambient air pollution, built environment and temperature and stroke incidence across Europe
CONCLUSIONS: We observed increased HRs for stroke with exposure to PM2.5, NO2 and BC, lower levels of greenness and higher impervious surface in single and combined exposure models.PMID:37598594 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108136

High selenium exposure lowers the odds ratios for hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction associated with mercury exposure among Inuit in Canada.
CONCLUSIONS: The high Se and low Hg group had the lowest prevalence of cardiovascular outcomes, except for stroke. These results provide evidence that Se may exhibit a protective effect against Hg on cardiovascular disease. PMID: 28279481 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 196: Adherence to Treatment in Stroke Patients
Conclusions: The perception of medication necessity and the doctor–patient communication are manageable factors associated with compliance in treating patients who have suffered stroke. In addition, rehabilitation and return to work programs should consider these factors when providing support to those persons.

Electrical bioimpedance in patients after ischemic stroke, a civilization disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of hydration status in patients with a diagnosed stroke indicates a slight dehydration in relation to the control group, but falling within the scope of normovolaemia, according to bioimpedance measurement standards. PMID: 30922028 [PubMed - in process]

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 2840: Body Fat Mass and Risk of Cerebrovascular Lesions: The PRESENT (Prevention of Stroke and Dementia) Project
Suk Obesity is known to increase the risk of stroke. It is unclear whether high absolute fat mass (FM) increases the risk of stroke independently. We studied the correlation between FM and silent brain infarction/white matter change (SI/WMC) using brain computed tomography. We selected subjects from the local government health promotion project. We randomly selected a target population that had never been diagnosed with stroke or dementia. FM was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). We divided the subjects into three groups according to the FM (gender-specific tertiles [GTx]). Seven hundred and twent...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 618: Risk Factors Associated with Outcomes of Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Therapy in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
eng Tsong-Hai Lee Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke, and early interventional treatment is associated with favorable outcomes. In the guidelines, thrombolytic therapy using recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is recommended for eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the risk of hemorrhagic complications limits the use of rt-PA, and the risk factors for poor treatment outcomes need to be identified. To identify the risk factors associated with in-hospital poor outcomes in patients treated with rt-PA, we analyzed the electronic medical records of patients who were diagn...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 4170: Differences in Body Composition among Patientsafter Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke
wska The aim of the study was to assess differences in the body composition of patients after hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. There were 74 male participants in the study, of which 13 (18%) experienced hemorrhagic stroke, while 61 (82%) were after ischemic stroke. Significantly (p < 0.05) higher values of body composition variables were noted for ischemic compared to hemorrhagic strokes, and concerned: body mass (BM) (kg), basal metabolic rate (BMR) (kJ), fat-free mass (FFM) (kg), total body water (TBW) (kg), muscle mass (MM) (kg), visceral fat level (VFL), bone mass (BoM) (kg), extracellular water(ECW) (kg...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 4291: Differences in Rehabilitation Needs after Stroke: A Similarity Analysis on the ICF Core Set for Stroke
Conclusions: ICF qualifiers are useful to design patient-centered care. Y patients have more heterogeneous needs and require more personalized program than O patients.

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 2032: Effects of a Music-Based Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Gait and Balance in Subacute Stroke
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a music-based rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) in combination with conventional physiotherapy on gait parameters and walking ability in subacute stroke. This single-blind, historical controlled trial, included 55 patients who had suffered a stroke within the three weeks prior to enrolment. Patients from 2018 (n = 27) were assigned as the historical control group whereas 2019 patients (n = 28) received music-based RAS three times a week. Both groups received 11 h of conventional physiotherapy per week during hospitalization. Primary outcomes were gait and balance parameters (Tin...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 12702: Examining the Drivers of Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Non-Adherence to Antihypertensive Medications and Mortality Due to Heart Disease and Stroke: A County-Level Analysis
Conclusions: The socioeconomic, clinical care and physical environmental attributes of the places that patients live are significant contributors to BAA–nHW disparities in AHM non-adherence and mortality due to heart diseases and stroke.

Differential associations of particle size ranges and constituents with stroke emergency-room visits in Shanghai, China
CONCLUSION: Ultra-fine particles and some PM2.5 constituents (i.e., carbonaceous fractions, inorganic ions and some elements) may be mainly responsible for the excess risk of stroke induced by PM2.5.PMID:35104777 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113237
