Prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence for post‐stroke inpatients in Southern China
ConclusionsThe prevalence of UI among post‐stroke inpatients is high. Stroke inpatients looked after by health care assistant, hemorrhagic stroke, mixed stroke, parietal lobe lesion, chronic cough, aphasia, and post‐stroke depression were high‐risk groups for UI. These patients should be targeted when planning intervention programs. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Stroke health professionals' management of depression after post-stroke aphasia: a qualitative study.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that health professionals are challenged by and limited in managing depression after post-stroke aphasia. Health professionals have the opportunity to improve services through the translation of evidence-based interventions. The integration of mental health care into stroke rehabilitation may be achieved through policy development, leadership and specialist training. Implications for rehabilitation People with aphasia need routine mood screening using aphasia-specific clinical tools and communication support. Stroke health professionals report a need for communication partner training to...

Stroke Recurrence and Its Relationship With Language Abilities
Conclusions History of prior stroke in itself may not significantly influence language impairment after an additional acute left hemisphere stroke, unless it contributes substantially to the total volume of infarcted brain tissue. Chronic and acute lesion volumes should be accounted for in studies investigating poststroke language performance and recovery.

Why John Fetterman Needs Closed Captioning Technology After His Stroke
Five months after the Democratic nominee in one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races suffered a stroke, there’s still a lot to learn about his recovery. In the final weeks of the Pennsylvania Senate campaign, a key Republican attack against the state’s lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, has centered on his use of closed-captioning technology, which translates audio into text on a screen in real-time. He relied on the technology during an interview conducted Friday with NBC News, his first in-person, on-camera sit-down since his stroke in May. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “...

Early Depression Screening is Feasible in Hospitalized Stroke Patients (S62.005)
CONCLUSIONS:Screening stroke inpatients for depression is feasible and early depression after stroke is common, although it is possible that depression preceded stroke in some of our patients. Younger patients and women are more likely to experience early depression after stroke. Our results provide preliminary evidence supporting the continued use of early depression screening after stroke, though additional studies on quality of life and long-term outcome are necessary to further assess the utility of early post-stroke depression screening.Disclosure: Dr. Karamchandani has nothing to disclose.

Does Speech Disorder (Aphasia) Affect Respiratory Muscle Strength in Stroke?
Conclusion: It is well known that respiratory muscle strength decrease in individuals after stroke. In addition, it seems that respiratory muscle strength of aphasic patients is significantly reduced compare to non-aphasic stroke patients. However, expiratory muscle strength is similar.

Prospective assessment of patients with stroke in Tikur Anbessa Specialised Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
This study aimed to describe risk factors for stroke and clinical presentation of patients presenting to the emergency centre with stroke. Methods We conducted a cross sectional study conducted from August 2015 to January 2016 in an urban tertiary care centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between stroke types and stroke risk factors, and delayed presentation and clinical indicators. P-values less than .05 were considered statistically significant. Results A total of 104 patients were included. The mean age was 53 years, and...

Counselling training for speech-language therapists working with people affected by post-stroke aphasia: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Research in counselling training for speech-language therapists working in post-stroke aphasia is limited, with a small number of primarily low-quality studies available. Training in generic counselling skills and brief psychological approaches with support from mental health professionals in the stroke workplace enabled speech-language therapists to feel knowledgeable, skilled and confident to address the psychological well-being of people affected by post-stroke aphasia. Evidence about the effectiveness of counselling training on speech-language therapists' confidence and competence in practice and on client...

ConclusionsOne ‐third of patients with ischemic stroke before 70 years of age showed increased muscle tone at 7‐year follow‐up. Half of them also had classical spasticity. Age, arm paresis, aphasia, and facial palsy at index stroke were predictors of increased muscle tone poststroke.

The incidence, co-occurrence, and predictors of dysphagia, dysarthria, and aphasia after first-ever acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract Dysphagia, dysarthria and aphasia occur frequently following stroke. Our purpose was to identify the incidence, co-occurrence, and predictors of these impairments after first-ever ischemic stroke. We used the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network's database (2003-2008) from one stroke center to identify a random sample of 250 patients with acute ischemic stroke confirmed by MR imaging. We further conducted a retrospective medical chart review. We established reliable data capture and identified the presence of the three impairments. We derived incidence and co-occurrence estimates along with 95% confide...
