High natural killer cell number might identify stroke patients at risk of developing infections
Conclusions: High circulating NK cell count within the first hours after ischemic stroke onset followed by a drop in all lymphocyte subsets identified patients who developed infections and may be caused by a sympathovagal imbalance with sympathetic overweight. These findings need to be validated in larger studies.

Risk factor‐related lifestyle habits of hospital‐admitted stroke patients – an exploratory study
ConclusionsThe participants in this study had many lifestyle habits that are associated with stroke risk factors, exposing them to an elevated risk of a new stroke in the future. Relevance to clinical practiceIt is an important obligation for nursing staff courageously to bring up the lifestyle habits at the hospital phase and point out that there is a relationship between them and stroke incidence and that secondary stroke can be prevented or made less likely by adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Quality Assessment of Vascular Disease Prevention Practices in High Risk Urban Women (P7.139)
CONCLUSIONS: Despite their proven value for secondary prevention, antiplatelet therapy and statins were underutilized in women with prior stroke or TIA. Strategies to intensify vascular disease prevention in high risk urban women and particularly women under 70 are needed.
