Repeated Episodes of Ischemic Stroke over a Short Period in a Patient with Essential Thrombocythemia on Anticoagulant Therapy
A 69-year-old man who had essential thrombocythemia, for which he was taking no medications, suddenly developed aphasia and right hemiplegia and was admitted to the hospital. He was thought to have had an embolic stroke and was initially treated with warfarin. Although the international normalized ratio was in the therapeutic range, he had 3 additional ischemic stroke episodes with the same symptoms after the index stroke. Magnetic resonance angiographic examinations revealed serial changes in middle cerebral artery stenosis. After administration of an antiplatelet agent and hydroxyurea, he had no additional strokes.

Fatal Multiple Systemic Emboli after Intravenous Thrombolysis for Cardioembolic Stroke
Our objective is to present a case of fatal multiple systemic emboli after intravenous thrombolysis for cardioembolic stroke. A 64-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation was admitted for evaluation of sudden consciousness disturbance, right hemiplegia, and aphasia. Diffusion-weighted imaging showed no early ischemic changes of the brain, and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) showed occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). One hour after initiation of 0.6 mg/kg of intravenous alteplase, the MCA was partially recanalized. Her symptoms disappeared the following day. We began intravenous heparin for secondary pr...

Yogic breathing and ayurveda in aphasia: a case study.
Conclusion: Although case studies lead to limited conclusions, changes were observed for this individual using Ayurvedic medicine. Given the changes in language and some aspects of cognition seen in this patient, further exploration of the effectiveness of yogic breathing and Ayurvedic medicine in the treatment of poststroke aphasia is warranted.

Effects of Low-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Intensive Speech Therapy on Cerebral Blood Flow in Post-Stroke Aphasia
Abstract We provided an intervention to chronic post-stroke aphasic patients using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS) guided by a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) evaluation of language laterality, combined with intensive speech therapy (ST). We performed a single photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT) scan pre- and post-intervention and investigated the relationship between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and language function. Fifty right-handed chronic post-stroke aphasic patients were enrolled in the study. During their 11-day hospital admission, the patients receiv...

Electrical stimulation of the motor cortex enhances treatment outcome in post-stroke aphasia
See Fink et al. (doi:10.1093/aww034) for a scientific commentary on this article. Transcranial direct current stimulation has shown promise to improve recovery in patients with post-stroke aphasia, but previous studies have only assessed stimulation effects on impairment parameters, and evidence for long-term maintenance of transcranial direct current stimulation effects from randomized, controlled trials is lacking. Moreover, due to the variability of lesions and functional language network reorganization after stroke, recent studies have used advanced functional imaging or current modelling to determine optimal stimulati...

Network dysfunction predicts speech production after left hemisphere stroke
Conclusions: Speech production is dependent on complex interactions among widely distributed brain networks, indicating that residual speech production after stroke depends on more than the restoration of local domain-specific functions. Our understanding of the recovery of function following focal lesions is not adequately captured by consideration of ipsilesional or contralesional brain regions taking over lost domain-specific functions, but is perhaps best considered as the interaction between what remains of domain-specific networks and domain-general systems that regulate behavior.

Effect of informed consent on patient characteristics in a stroke thrombolysis trial
Conclusions: Patients recruited by proxy consent were older, had more severe strokes, and had higher prevalence of aphasia than those with capacity to give personal consent. Variations in the manner of consent across countries may influence trial results.

Initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale to Early Predict the Improvement of Swallowing in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Objectives: To study the applicability of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) in early predicting the prognosis of poststroke dysphagia in an acute ward. Methods: This is an observational retrospective cohort study including adult patients with ischemic stroke. Patients with various factors affecting swallowing were excluded to obtain a representative sample of 165 patients. The main outcome measure was the improvements of oral intake function. Results: The scores of facial palsy (NIHSS item 4) (odds ratio [OR]: 0.484, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.279-0.838, P = .0096] and language/aphasia (NIHSS item 9) ...

Prevalence and Impact of Aphasia among Patients Admitted with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Aphasia is one of the most severe symptoms in stroke patients, affecting one-third of acute stroke patients. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and outcomes of aphasia in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Health-related quality of life, social support, and social networks in African-American stroke survivors with and without aphasia.
Health-related quality of life (HRQL) provides insight into the impact of a health condition on an individual's ability to lead a fulfilling life. Previous research has identified determinants of HRQL in stroke survivors to include communication, mobility, mental/emotional health, role, and social functioning. However, health disparities among minority populations may influence HRQL in stroke survivors with and without aphasia. The aim of this study was to explore the HRQL and social functioning in a homogenous sample of African-Americans with chronic stroke.

Association between aphasia and risk of dementia after stroke
Stroke is an established risk factor for dementia and is associated with an acute and accelerated decline in cognition. With the aging population and improvements in stroke survival, the number of patients with post-stroke dementia is expected to increase,1 which entails substantial healthcare and economic burdens for patients and caregivers.

Mystery Case: An unexpected complication of IV thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke
A 46-year-old man with psoriasis and morbid obesity developed acute aphasia and right hemiplegia. As a result of his weakness, he had fallen and struck his right eye on a desk. His presenting examination demonstrated right periorbital ecchymosis without accompanying ptosis, expressive aphasia, left gaze deviation with corresponding hemianopsia, and dense right hemiplegia, summating an NIH Stroke Scale score of 13.
