In-Hospital Stroke Recurrence and Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack: Frequency and Risk Factors Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In-hospital stroke recurrence was low with optimal current management. Patients with a history of TIA, severe symptomatic carotid stenosis, or uncommon causes of stroke were at higher risk. Pneumonia was associated with a higher risk of stroke recurrence in patients with initial TIA or minor stroke but not in the overall population studied. Aphasia may bias the detection rate by concealing new neurological symptoms.

The Nottingham Fatigue After Stroke (NotFAST) study: results from follow-up six months after stroke.
Conclusions Half the stroke survivors reported fatigue at six months post-stroke. Reduced independence in activities of daily living and higher anxiety levels were associated with the level of fatigue. Persistent and delayed onset fatigue may affect independence and participation in rehabilitation, and these findings should be used to inform the development of appropriate interventions.

Predictors of Thrombolysis Administration in Mild Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Mild acutely presenting stroke patients are more likely to receive thrombolysis if they are young, white, or Hispanic and arrive early to the hospital with more severe neurological presentation. Identification of predictors of thrombolysis is important in design of future studies to assess the use of thrombolysis for mild stroke.

Design and Validation of a Prehospital Stroke Scale to Predict Large Arterial Occlusion: The Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation Scale Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The RACE scale is a simple tool that can accurately assess stroke severity and identify patients with acute stroke with large artery occlusion at prehospital setting by medical emergency technicians.

Aphasia and swallowing problems in subjects with incident stroke in rural northern Tanzania: a case-control study.
Conclusions: This is the first attempt to describe aphasia incidence in a sub-Saharan African language. Further work on the psychometric properties of the screening instrument is warranted. Given that it delivers a relatively coarse indication of language disturbance, it is likely that incidence of aphasia in the current cohort is underestimated. PMID: 24521840 [PubMed - in process]

The FAST-ED App: A Smartphone Platform for the Field Triage of Patients With Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The FAST-ED smartphone application has great potential to improve the triage of patients with acute ischemic stroke, as it seems capable to optimize resources, reduce hospital arrivals times, and maximize the use of both intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator and endovascular treatment ultimately leading to better clinical outcomes. Future field studies are needed to properly evaluate the impact of this tool in stroke outcomes and resource utilization.

The role of subjective cognitive complaints and depressive symptoms in social re-integration following stroke: a mediation explanation in a cross-sectional sample.
Conclusions Subjective cognitive complaints are common in long-term outcome following stroke and predict difficulty in community reintegration. However, this relationship is mediated by variation in emotional status. Therefore, addressing cognitive complaints through cognitive rehabilitation programs that include components to improve mood (for example, building self-efficacy or confidence) may also improve community reintegration post-stroke.

Psychometric properties of the Chinese-version Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale 39-generic version (SAQOL-39g).
CONCLUSIONS: The Chinese-version SAQOL-39g has excellent reliability, validity, and feasibility for measuring the QOL of Chinese post-stroke aphasia patients. The consistency between self-report and proxy-report forms was good, implying that the proxy-report form can be used to assess the QOL of post-stroke aphasia patients.

Validation of stroke-specific protocols for the 10-meter walk test and 6-minute walk test conducted using 15-meter and 30-meter walkways.
Conclusions: Findings showed excellent test-retest reliability; measurement error values similar to current literature; and support for construct validity of the 10mWT, 6MWT15m, and 6MWT30m. Due to the shorter walkway, the 6MWT15m may be more feasible to implement than the 6MWT30m in hospital settings. A larger sample with more severe deficits is required to improve generalizability.

Barriers and facilitators to implementing stepped psychological care for people with aphasia: Perspectives of stroke health professionals.
Conclusion Addressing the identified barriers and facilitators to stepped psychological care will improve the viability of implementing this evidence-based framework after post-stroke aphasia. Change may be driven through specialist training for health professionals in communication support; mood assessment and treatments; modification of physical space; and accessible resources.

Fidelity to a motivational interviewing intervention for those with post-stroke aphasia: a small-scale feasibility study.
This study aimed to explore the feasibility of motivational interviewing (MI) in people with post-stroke aphasia. METHODS: In a small-scale feasibility study, consecutive patients admitted to an acute stroke ward were screened for eligibility. People with moderate to severe aphasia were eligible. Those consenting received an intervention consisting of up to eight MI sessions delivered twice per week over four weeks. Sessions were modified using aids and adaptations for aphasia. Session quality was measured using the Motivational Interviewing Skills Code (MISC) to assess MI fidelity. RESULTS: Three consenting pati...

A scoping review of PhotoVoice for people with post-stroke aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS: Further inquiry regarding how best to adapt PhotoVoice for people with aphasia will facilitate their ability to be included in community-based research. This is an important step in ensuring that all post-stroke stakeholders are involved in projects related to social justice and policy for stroke survivors.

Therapeutic interventions for aphasia initiated more than six months post stroke: a review of the evidence.
CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence to support the use of a number of treatments for chronic aphasia post stroke. Further research is required to fully support the use of these interventions and to explore the effectiveness of other aphasia interventions in the chronic stage.
