Nephrotic Syndrome is Associated with Increased Risk of Ischemic Stroke
Background: To determine if the nephrotic syndrome (NS) is an independent risk factor of ischemic stroke. Methods: This is a retrospective nationwide cohort study through an analysis of the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. To evaluate the risk of stroke, the corresponding controls were selected at a 4:1 ratio in the number of subjects, and they were matched with the study group in age, gender, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and index date. Results: From a total of 16,245 surveyed subjects, ischemic stroke occurred in 1235 (7.6%) and hemorrhagic stroke in 129 (.74%) of them.

Acupuncture for Post-stroke Shoulder-Hand Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Acupuncture therapy seems effective for motor function, pain relief and activities of daily living in stroke patients with mild SHS, when it is used in combination with rehabilitation. The low certainty of evidence downgrades our confidence in making recommendations to clinical practice. Introduction Shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) is a common condition among people who have had a stroke, with its reported prevalence ranging from 12% to 49% (1, 2). The main symptoms of SHS include pain, hyperalgesia, joint swelling and limitations in range of motion (ROM) (3). Post-stroke SHS is also named type I complex ...

Intravenous Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Taiwan: Can We Expand the National Health Insurance's Reimbursement Criteria?
In conclusion, the non-reimbursement group in Su, et al(3). is a mixture of stroke patients with very heterogeneous characteristics. With the advances of imaging selection modalities and new hyperacute treatment options nowadays, they should no longer be considered as an identical group of patients. We strokologists, as an emerging subspecialists, should devote more in dedicated and individualized selection of stroke patients for appropriate early recanalization therapy to improve their outcomes.

Risk of Ischemic Stroke, Hemorrhagic Stroke, and All-Cause Mortality in Retinal Vein Occlusion: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.
Conclusions: People with RVO are at a significantly greater risk of developing stroke, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke. However, RVO does not significantly increase the risk of all-cause mortality. PMID: 30271630 [PubMed]

Risk of developing pleural empyema in patients with stroke: a propensity-matched cohort study
In conclusion, patients with stroke are at an elevated risk of developing pleural empyema. The risk is greater for those with hemor rhagic stroke than for those with ischemic stroke. The risk increases further for patients who undergo VP shunt implantation.

Risk of First Onset Stroke in SSRI-Exposed Adult Subjects: Survival Analysis and Examination of Age and Time Effects.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of SSRIs independently increases the risk of stroke across age strata. The risk is higher in younger adult subjects, and the stroke is more likely to be ischemic than hemorrhagic. The underlying mechanisms of stroke may be related to cerebral microbleeding or an overcorrection of hemostasis function. PMID: 28994901 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association of stroke subtypes with risk of hip fracture: a population-based study in Taiwan
ConclusionOverall, stroke significantly increases the incidence of HF, and the risk of HF is significantly higher in ICH patients and female gender. We should identify stroke patients at risk of HF and pay more attention to prevent them from fall in poststroke long-term care.

Endocrine Dysfunction Following Stroke
In conclusions, stroke survivors have an approximately 2-fold increased risk of developing acquired hypothyroidism, pituitary dysfunction, or disorders of the adrenal glands. These ris ks should be taken into account in the management of patients who have ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes.Graphical Abstract

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 326: The Risk of Stroke in Kidney Transplant Recipients with End-Stage Kidney Disease
Ju Wu Chia-Hung Kao Background: The incidence of stroke after kidney transplantation is poorly understood. Our study aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of stroke as well as mortality from stroke in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan to study KTRs (N = 4635), patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD; N = 69,297), and patients from the general population who were chronic kidney disease (CKD)-free and matched by comorbidities (N = 69,297) for the years 2000 through 2010. The risk of stroke was analyz...

Renal dysfunction is associated with lower odds of home discharge for patients with stroke
CONCLUSION: The odds of home discharge for stroke patients decreased with a significant independent graded association with declining eGFR levels. Renal function could predict home discharge after stroke.PMID:34351833 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2021.1964198
