Influence of geography, stroke timing, and weather conditions on transport and workflow times: Results from a longitudinal 5-year Canadian provincial registry
CONCLUSION: Geographic factors and stroke timing were associated with EVT workflow times. However, no association with clinical outcomes was seen, suggesting that EVT patients living remote areas of Saskatchewan have similar benefit from EVT compared to urban areas. Every effort should be made to offer timely EVT to patients from remote areas.PMID:37608547 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231196614

Stroke-related knowledge, beliefs, and behaviours of chinese and European canadians: implications for physical therapists.
Conclusions: Theoretical dimensions of culture may explain variations in stroke-related knowledge, behaviours, and beliefs between CCs and ECs. Awareness of cultural differences can help physical therapists evaluate clients and appropriately tailor lifestyle-related health education. PMID: 24799757 [PubMed]

Reconciling Marriage and Care after Stroke.
Abstract Most research on stroke's impact on couples has focused on the transition to caregiving/receiving. Despite considerable evidence that marriage is the primary source of support in the face of chronic conditions, little is known about what happens to marriage in the context of care after stroke. To address this gap, we undertook a qualitative grounded-theory study of 18 couples in which one partner had experienced a stroke. Findings revealed two interrelated themes of the couple processes: working out care, which involved discovering and addressing disruptions in day-to-day activities; and rethinking marria...

Atopic dermatitis and risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, myocardial infarction and stroke in a cross ‐sectional analysis from the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project
ConclusionsWe did not find evidence of a positive association between AD and subsequent hypertension, T2D, MI or stroke; AD was inversely associated with these outcomes in our study. Given our findings and the conflicting literature, AD is likely not a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Featured Review: Virtual reality for stroke rehabilitation
Many people after having a stroke have difficulty moving, thinking, and sensing. This often results in problems with everyday activities such as writing, walking, and driving. Virtual reality and interactive video gaming therapy  involves using computer-based programs designed to simulate real-life objects and events. This may have some advantages over traditional  therapy approaches as they can give people an opportunity to practice everyday activities that are not or cannot be practiced within the hospital environment and patients may spend more time in therapy as the activity might be more motivating.A team of Cochra...

The Weighting of Cues to Upright Following Stroke With and Without a History of Pushing.
CONCLUSION: The results of OCHART may be used to quantify the weightings of multisensory inputs in individuals post-stroke and may help characterize perceptual sources of pushing behaviours. PMID: 29925437 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Telehealth for Remote Stroke Management
Publication date: July 2018Source: Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Volume 34, Issue 7Author(s): Charlotte Zerna, Thomas Jeerakathil, Michael D. HillAbstractStroke is a leading cause of adult disability and the fourth leading cause of death in Canada. Most strokes are ischemic and functional outcome is highly time-dependent, making fast diagnosis and treatment initiation crucial. This poses a challenge in vast geographical areas where stroke neurology expertise is only available in urban centres. In this article we review the rationale for telestroke networks and their current implementation in Canada. Telestroke networks e...

Aerobic Training in Canadian Stroke Rehabilitation Programs
Conclusions: Most stroke rehabilitation programs across Canada include AT. People with severe physical impairment and those with cardiac, metabolic, and hemodynamic comorbidities may be excluded or not appropriately monitored during exercise. More detailed guidelines and training practices are needed to address these challenges.

Evidence of Concomitantly Increasing Stroke and Dementia Prevalence among those 80 Years and Older in Ontario, Canada, 2003-04 to 2012-13.
This study aimed to report the concurrent temporal trends of stroke and dementia prevalence in Ontario among the same age demographic. The prevalence of both stroke and dementia increased from 2003-04 to 2012-13 in both sexes and the magnitude in which prevalence of dementia increased over time exceeded that of stroke. The substantial increase in the prevalence of dementia may be because of increased recognition and diagnoses of dementia and increased survival of stroke patients who are at higher risk of developing dementia.

A Preliminary Analysis of a Home-Based Stroke Rehabilitation Program in Windsor, Ontario.
Abstract Community stroke rehabilitation (CSR) is an effective program for survivors to recover at home supported by a multidisciplinary team. A home-based, specialized CSR program was delivered in Windsor, Ontario, to stroke patients who faced barriers to accessing outpatient services following inpatient rehabilitation. Preliminary results show program patients made significant functional improvements from baseline to program discharge. A subgroup analysis revealed that, after adjusting for age and resource intensity, moderate to severe stroke patients made greater functional gains compared to mild stroke patient...

COVID-19: Stroke Admissions, Emergency Department Visits, and Prevention Clinic Referrals.
Abstract We assessed the impact of the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic on code stroke activations in the ED, stroke unit admissions, and referrals to the stroke prevention clinic at London's regional stroke center, serving a population of 1.8 million in Ontario, Canada. We found a 20% drop in the number of code strokes in 2020 compared to 2019, immediately after the first cases of COVID-19 were officially confirmed. There were no changes in the number of stroke admissions and there was a 22% decrease in the number of clinic referrals, only after the provincial lockdown. Our findings suggest that the dec...
