Impact of stroke-associated infection on long-term survival: a cohort study
Conclusions SAIs have long-lasting effects on patient survival. This serves to emphasise the importance of immediate access to organised stroke unit care for people with acute stroke, with active physiological monitoring and protocols for early detection and treatment of SAIs.

Health-related quality of life and economic impact of urinary incontinence due to detrusor overactivity associated with a neurologic condition: a systematic review
Conclusions: Incontinent patients with underlying neurologic conditions have impaired HRQoL as well as substantial economic burden attributable to UI due to NDO. There is a need for urgency UI treatments that improve HRQoL of these patients and alleviate the economic burden of this condition.

What predicts a poor outcome in older stroke survivors? A systematic review of the literature.
Conclusions: The current evidence is insufficient for the development of a clinical prediction tool that is better than physicians' informal predictions. Future research should focus on the selection of optimal screening instruments in multiple domains of functioning, including the timing of assessment. We suggest developing prediction tools stratified by more homogeneous, clinically distinguished stroke subtypes. Implications for Rehabilitation A reliable prognosis soon after a stroke is highly relevant to patients who ultimately have a poor outcome, because it enables early planning of care tailored to their needs. ...

Sudden bilateral anterior cerebral infarction: unusual stroke associated with unusual vascular anomalies
We describe a 38-year-old male smoker and heavy alcohol user, who awoke with sudden onset of weakness of both lower limbs, and bladder and bowel incontinence. He had consumed excessive amounts of alcohol the previous night. There was no significant past medical history including other vascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease. On admission, he was mute and abulic. The frontal release signs including the forced grasping and the snout reflex were present. Routine full blood count and biochemical analysis were normal. MRI of the brain showed bilateral, nearly symmetrical ACA infarction (figure 1A–C). Time-of-flig...

Development of a Poststroke Checklist to Standardize Follow-up Care for Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: The PSC was developed to be a brief and easy-to-use tool, intended to facilitate a standardized approach for health care providers to identify long-term problems in stroke survivors and to facilitate appropriate referrals for treatment.

Hospital-Acquired Symptomatic Urinary Tract Infection in Patients Admitted to an Academic Stroke Center Affects Discharge Disposition
Objective: To test the role of hospital-acquired symptomatic urinary tract infection (SUTI) as an independent predictor of discharge disposition in the acute stroke patient. Study Design: A retrospective study of data collected from a stroke registry service. The registry is maintained by the Specialized Programs of Translational Research in Acute Stroke Data Core. The Specialized Programs of Translational Research in Acute Stroke is a national network of 8 centers that perform early phase clinical projects, share data, and promote new approaches to therapy for acute stroke. Setting: A single university-based hospital...
