Low Incidence of Late Ipsilateral Ischaemic Stroke After Treatment for Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis in Sweden 2008 –2017: Increased Risk in the Elderly and After Carotid Stenting
Carotid stenosis is a major risk factor for stroke and surgical treatment is key in preventing recurrent ischaemic events. Previous randomised trials have demonstrated the net benefit of surgery for significant symptomatic carotid stenosis but, with present day medical treatment, there is limited evidence on the risk of late ipsilateral ischaemic stroke (IS) and its main risk factors.

Very Early Cognitive Screening and Self-Reported Feeling of Fatigue Three Months After Stroke
Stroke is a major cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. Post-stroke fatigue has been reported as one of the most limiting symptoms after a stroke. Early identification of risk factors for developing post-stroke fatigue is important for providing timely rehabilitation. A correlation has been found between fatigue and cognitive impairment after stroke, but 2 months after stroke at the earliest. In the present study, we examined whether cognitive function screening using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) very early after stroke could explain fatigue 3 months after stroke. A total of 311 s...

Dependency in Activities of Daily Living During the First Year After Stroke
Conclusion: The results indicated that dependency in personal ADL during the first 2 days can explain dependency at 3- and 12-month post-stroke. Therefore, early ADL assessments post-stroke can be used for understanding rehabilitation needs after stroke.

Stroke and death-findings from a 25-year follow-up of a cohort of employed Swedish middle-aged men of the Coeur study
ConclusionFew of the traditional risk factors were significantly associated with stroke possibly explained by low power and/or different pathogenetic mechanism than for myocardial infarction.Partly because death occurred more often, we did find a number of potential risk factors to be significantly associated with this outcome.

Estimating Insulin Resistance May Help Predict Stroke, Death in T2D Estimating Insulin Resistance May Help Predict Stroke, Death in T2D
Calculating the estimated glucose disposal rate as a proxy for the level of insulin resistance may be useful way to determine if someone with type 2 diabetes is at risk for having a first stroke, Swedish researchers have found.Medscape Medical News

mHealth to support healthy lifestyle in early stroke prevention
ConclusionsmHealth apps can offer support in incorporating health promoting behaviours and everyday routines as part of lifestyle-based stroke prevention. Increased personalization and tailoring was however important for user satisfaction.Key messagesmHealth apps can promote increased awareness of current activity patterns, keep track of lifestyle habits and risk factors and serve as nudging to incorporate healthy everyday routines.Personal relevance and literacy levels are important to consider in stroke prevention mHealth apps to promote motivation to behaviour change and use of mHealth apps.

Potential effects on cardiometabolic risk factors and body composition by short message service (SMS)-guided training after recent minor stroke or transient ischaemic attack: post hoc analyses of the STROKEWALK randomised controlled trial
Conclusions No clear effect of 3 months daily mobile phone delivered training instructions was detected on body composition, cardiovascular biochemical risk factors or self-perceived health. Further research is needed to evaluate secondary prevention efforts in larger populations after recent stroke. Trial registration number NCT02902367.

Association between pre-stroke physical activity and mobility and walking ability in the early subacute phase: A registry-based study
CONCLUSION: Pre-stroke physically active people show-ed a tendency to be more independent in physical functioning early after stroke. Regardless of pre-stroke physical activity, all patients showed improvements in mobility, walking ability, and self-perceived upper extremity function during inpatient care.PMID:34652453 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v53.367

Recurrent ischemic stroke – Examples from Sweden
Recently, in a systematic review and meta-analysis, Kolmos et al found that the rates of recurrent ischemic stroke seem unchanged over time.1 This is disappointing, especially as the benefits of secondary prevention have become more and more recognized over the recent decades. Possibly, this knowledge has not been materialized in practice everywhere. However there are promising results from Sweden.
