β(S) globin gene haplotype and the stroke risk among Egyptian children with sickle cell disease.
CONCLUSION: This study provides a relevant contribution to our understanding of the anthropological and historical background of the population in Egypt where Benin haplotype is the commonest β(S) globin gene haplotype and homozygous Benin/Benin is associated with higher stroke risk than other haplotypes.

Functional recovery after stroke in Benin: A six-month follow-up study.
CONCLUSION: The study sample showed significant functional recovery (~50%) during the first 6 months post-stroke. We recommend the integration of group-based brisk walking into a cost-effective rehabilitation programme as a suitable way to increase functional recovery of chronic stroke patients in sub-Saharan Africa after hospital discharge.

Evaluating the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus on cardiovascular risk in persons with metabolic syndrome using the UKPDS risk engine
Conclusion: MS was more common in subjects with T2DM compared with controls (irrespective of the diagnostic criteria used) and MS appears to increase the risk of a coronary event in subjects with T2DM by threefold. Also from this study, MS did not appear to cause an additional increase in the risk of stroke in subjects with T2DM.Keywords: diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, UKPDS risk engine

Measuring functional recovery in stroke patients: the responsiveness of ACTIVLIM-Stroke
Conclusions ACTIVLIM-Stroke showed good responsiveness and can detect accurately clinical changes in the functional status of stroke patients. The BI and the 6MWT were also responsive and may provide complementary information while investigating change in functional status. However, in addition to being highly sensitive to change, ACTIVLIM-Stroke presents significant methodological advantages for quantifying functional changes in stroke patients.
