Post-stroke lower urinary system dysfunction and its relation with functional and mental status: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSION: LUTD is a common problem in patients with stroke. LUTD is associated with poorer cognitive and functional status and the quality of life in these patients. We, therefore, suggest that bladder dysfunction should not be overlooked during rehabilitation of stroke patients. PMID: 30570391 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects on urinary outcome of patients and caregivers' burden of pelvic floor muscle exercises based on the health belief model done at home by post-stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the results of the present study, it is recommended that in the management of post-stroke urinary incontinence, post-stroke patients should be encouraged to do PFME at home in line with the HBM, and they should be monitored periodically.

Pseudobulbar affect after stroke: a narrative review.
CONCLUSION: PBA remains an under-treated condition with significant psychosocial burden on both effected stroke survivors and their families. Advances have been made in developing consensus-based clinical diagnostic criteria for PBA. Early identification and prompt initiation of therapeutic measures are required in these stroke patients. Further research is needed to develop better PBA diagnostic criteria and more cost-effective therapeutic treatment options. PMID: 30213256 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

How does sex affect the care dependency risk one year after stroke? A study based on claims data from a German health insurance fund.
DISCUSSION: It may be assumed that women have a higher risk of becoming care-dependent after stroke than men because they are older and suffer more often from geriatric conditions such as urinary incontinence at onset of stroke. Preventive strategies should therefore focus on geriatric conditions in order to reduce the post-stroke care dependency risk for women. PMID: 28330419 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
