Trajectories of positive aspects of caregiving among family caregivers of stroke-survivors: the differential impact of stroke-survivor disability.
Conclusions Care professionals should be mindful of the heterogeneity in the longitudinal pattern of positive feelings resulting from care provision among family caregivers of stroke-survivors, and the differential impact of stroke-survivor disability on the pattern of positive feelings. Younger caregivers as well as family caregivers who have low positive feelings at the start of their caregiver journey and experience worsening functional disability of their care recipient (stroke-survivor) require greater attention and support.

Long term Post-Stroke Functional Outcomes: a comparison of diabetics and non-diabetics
Conclusions: DM was associated with poor functional outcomes following ischemic stroke in the long term with the effect remaining consistent throughout the 7-year follow-up period. Age modified the effe ct of DM in the long term, with an observed increase in risk in the ≤65 age group but not in the>65 age group.

Post Soft Care: Italian implementation of a post-stroke checklist software for primary care and identification of unmet needs in community-dwelling patients
AbstractThe needs of community-dwelling stroke patients are often not fully addressed. The Global Stroke Community Advisory Panel had developed the Post Stroke Checklist (PSC) with the aim of standardizing long-term stroke assessment and consequently care of patients. PSC has been validated for UK and Singapore, and an Italian version has been proposed. The aim of this study is to assess the needs of community-dwelling Italian stroke patients using an online version of PSC. Secondary aim is to assess utility of PSC for patients and clinicians. The PSC was administered to a sample of 64 patients with stroke in Italy by gene...

Stroke Care Services in Singapore During COVID-19 Pandemic —A National Perspective
Stroke is a significant cause of admission to Singapore's acute care hospitals. Because of the current COVID-19 pandemic, there have been major changes in the stroke care system. On calling for the public ambulance, those suspected to have COVID-19 infection are taken to the National Center for Infectious Diseases. Otherwise, on arrival at the emergency room, all cases with fever or respiratory symptoms [COVID-19 suspect patients (CSPs)] are evaluated separately by staff wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE). Triage is not delayed. CSPs needing hyperacute therapies are sent to a specially prepared scanner; if no...

Antiplatelets and Anticoagulants in Ischemic Stroke,Transient Ischaemic Attack: A Practice Survey Among Singapore Neurologists
CONCLUSIONS: The widespread use of aspirin for long-term secondary prevention is similar to other countries. The variation in the use of antithrombotic agents in other settings may reflect the lack of sufficient evidence to guide therapy in the various specific stroke patient management scenarios.KEY WORDS: neurologist, practice, antiplatelet, anticoagulant, stroke, cerebrovascular disease.PMID:35470408
