Stroke Suggests Increased Risk of Dementia.
Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that stroke confers an increased risk of dementia, especially in the elderly and in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. We advocate the need for close observation and enhanced health education programs to benefit patients with stroke. PMID: 25731623 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Increased Risk of Bullous Pemphigoid after First-Ever Stroke: A Population-Based Study.
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of BP is increased in first-ever stroke patients in a nationwide population-based cohort and this association is independent of well-known confounders of BP. PMID: 28467996 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Newly Diagnosed Dementia and Increased Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Nationwide Population-based Study.
Conclusion: Individuals with dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease, are at greater risk of developing stroke, especially in intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage than patients without dementia. Early mental screening programs and health education should be initiated for dementia patients. PMID: 24484279 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 1944: Stroke to Dementia Associated with Environmental Risks —A Semi-Markov Model
Conclusion: Experiments showed that the proposed semi-Markovian model outperformed other benchmark diagnosis algorithms (i.e., linear regression, decision tree, random forest, and support vector machine), with a high R2 of 90%. The proposed model also facilitated an accurate prognosis on the transition time of stroke from chronic diseases to dementias against environmental risks and rehabilitation factors.

Association of Stroke with the Receptor-Binding Profiles of Antipsychotics—A Case-Crossover Study
Conclusions: Our findings suggest an association between stroke risk and high M1 muscarinic and α2 adrenergic affinity. The clinical implication is to start antipsychotics treatment at low dosages and to closely monitor the side effects in the initial treatment, particularly for individuals with older age and the presence of dementia.

Stroke Risk Among Elderly Users of Haloperidol and Typical Antipsychotics Versus Atypical Antipsychotics: A Real-World Study From a US Health Insurance Claims Database.
CONCLUSION: Stroke risk in elderly new users of haloperidol was elevated compared to new users of atypical antipsychotics and was elevated for typical antipsychotics using the adapted PS strategy. PMID: 33097389 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Pioglitazone Use and Reduced Risk of Dementia in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus With a History of Ischemic Stroke
DISCUSSION: Pioglitazone use is associated with a lower risk of dementia in DM patients, particularly in those with a history of stroke or ischemic heart disease, suggesting the possibility of applying a personalized approach when choosing pioglitazone to suppress dementia in DM patients.PMID:36792375 | DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000207069

Prognostic factors for discharge destination after acute stroke: a comprehensive literature review.
Conclusion: Patient initial medical care, age and sex, neurological and medical complications and environmental/socio-economic factors should be considered in the decision-making process for discharge destination. [Box: see text]. PMID: 25250810 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effect of the asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease syndrome on the stroke, Parkinson's disease, and dementia: a national cohort study.
Conclusions: The ACOS cohort had a higher risk of the neurodegenerative diseases. The lower dose of the inhaler corticosteroids with cumulative dose ≧0.13 gram have the less risk of stroke and dementia. PMID: 29552322 [PubMed]

Secondary stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: a challenge in the clinical practice
Background: Despite clear evidence for the effectiveness of oral anticoagulation (OA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), there is evidence for the underutilisation of this therapy in the secondary stroke prevention. We therefore investigate the link between the use of OA in stroke patients with AF and favourable clinical outcome following the acute event. Methods: The study population was determined by identifying the overlap of two different databases: a stroke registry and claims data of a health insurance company. Baseline data originated from the registry; documented dementia and the prescriptions for OA were d...

Factors Influencing Non-Persistence with Antiplatelet Medications in Elderly Patients After Ischaemic Stroke
Conclusions Our results suggest that women, patients aged <75 years, and patients without certain comorbid conditions may need improved assistance in secondary prevention management after an ischaemic stroke.

Patient ‐related characteristics associated with non‐persistence with statin therapy in elderly patients following an ischemic stroke
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that patients aged ≥75 years or those with the presence of diabetes mellitus, dementia, hypercholesterolemia or polypharmacy were likely to be persistent with statin therapy, whereas those with anxiety disorders may need greater assistance with persistence of statin therapy.

Subclinical cerebrovascular disease inversely associates with learning ability: The NOMAS
Conclusions: White matter hyperintensities, a marker of cerebral small vessel disease, may have an impact on learning slope. This suggests that verbal learning performance can be incorporated into neuropsychological measures for vascular cognitive impairment and that cerebrovascular disease discovered on imaging affects the ability to learn new information.
