Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source in Latin America: A Review
Conclusions: Undiagnosed AF is likely to contribute significantly to cryptogenic stroke and ESUS. Research is needed to continue evaluation of the optimum means of identifying clinically relevant occult AF. In view of the thromboembolic mechanism of ESUS, anticoagulant therapy may prove useful in prevention of recurrence. Ongoing trials are evaluating use of dabigatran, rivaroxaban, or apixaban versus aspirin for reducing the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with previous ESUS.

Stroke and transient ischemic attacks related to antiplatelet or warfarin interruption
Conclusion Antiplatelet or vitamin K antagonist suspension has a temporal relationship with the occurrence of stroke and TIA. Since these events are preventable, it is crucial that healthcare professionals convince their patients that drug withdrawal can cause serious consequences.RESUMO Pacientes em terapia anticoagulante ou antiagregante plaquet ária frequentemente são solicitados a descontinuar essas medicações antes e durante procedimentos cirúrgicos ou invasivos. Se o paciente interromper tratamento sem supervisão médica, poderá aumentar de risco de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). Objetivo Identificar preval...

Does dual task merged in a mixed physical exercise protocol impact the mobility under dual task conditions in mild impaired stroke survivors? A feasibility, safety, randomized, and controlled pilot trial
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that mixed physical exercise under DT is feasible and safe for mild-impaired stroke survivors. Stroke survivors demonstrate more significant improvement in the mobility performance under DT when submitted to a DT mixed physical exercise protocol than the standard physical exercise intervention.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Brazilian clinical trials registry (RBR-4mvzz6); WHO trial record (U1111-1198-7173)IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONDT training can be prescribed by using clear and precise parameters for stroke survivors.Physical Exercise without DT requirements did not improve mobility performing a...

Linkage of blood cell division cycle 42 with T helper cells, and their correlation with anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment in stroke patients
This study aimed to assess the correlation between blood CDC42 and Th cells, and their association with mental issues in stroke patients. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 264 stroke patients and 50 controls. Then, serum CDC42 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells were detected by flow cytometry. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) were applied to patients. CDC42 was decreased (P<0.001), Th1 (P=0.013) and Th17 (P<0.001) cells were elevated, while Th2 cells (P=0.108) showed no difference in stroke patients compared to...
