Association of increased arterial stiffness with diastolic dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients: the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Background: Young and middle-aged ischemic stroke survivors have a high prevalence of hypertension, increased arterial stiffness and abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry, which all are associated with the presence of LV diastolic dysfunction. However, the prevalence and covariates of diastolic dysfunction in these patients have not been reported. Objectives: To explore diastolic dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients aged 15–60 years included in the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study. Methods: Data from 260 patients with acute ischemic stroke was analyzed. Diastolic dysfunction was assessed by combining tran...

Delirium screening in a stroke unit by nurses using 4AT: Results from a quality improvement project
AbstractAimTo assess the feasibility of delirium screening with the screening tool 4AT conducted by stroke unit nurses.DesignObservational.MethodsPatients with confirmed acute stroke admitted to the stroke unit at B ærum Hospital, Norway, from March to October 2020, were consecutively recruited. Nurses performed delirium screening using the rapid screening tool 4AT within 24 h of admission, at discharge and when delirium was suspected, and filled out a questionnaire assessing their experiences with the delir ium screening.

Physical Activity Behavior and Its Association With Global Cognitive Function Three Months After Stroke: The Nor-COAST Study
CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to previous research, in the present study, most participants adhered to the updated global PA guidelines. However, people who had survived stroke and had reduced cognitive function were at higher risk of inactivity, an association mediated by physical capacity.IMPACT: A better understanding of the association between cognition and PA behavior after stroke might help for developing more targeted early-onset interventions.PMID:37440440 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad092
