Does bariatric surgery change the risk of acute ischemic stroke in patients with a history of transient ischemic attack? A nationwide analysis
CONCLUSIONS: After analyzing nationwide information, we conclude bariatric surgery helps decrease risk of AIS in patients with a history of TIA. However, this comparison is limited by the nature of the database; further studies are needed to better understand these results.PMID:36581552 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2022.11.013

Effects of virtual reality-based telerehabilitation for stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Stroke is a severe neurological disorder that occurs in nearly 800,000 people and kills more than 140,000 people per year in the United States.1 The cost of stroke is projected to rise to $231 billion by the year 2030.2 Moreover, stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability.1 These stroke survivors suffer from a variety of impairments, including motor, sensory, speech, cognition, and psychosocial aspects. Those impairments affect their independence to perform daily activities, and furtherly hamper their participation and quality of life.

Lessons Learned from Managing Antithrombotic Therapy in Children Supported with Pediatric Ventricular Assist Devices
Stroke, thromboembolism, and bleeding are the most recognized complications associated with pediatric ventricular assist devices (VADs) and the leading cause of death and disability on VAD support. Recently, newer antithrombotic strategies like bivalirudin have emerged that appear to be associated with a reduction in the neurologic event rates, especially for smaller pediatric-specific VADs like the Berlin Heart and PediMag/CentriMag systems where the risk of stroke is the highest. While contemporary antithrombotic therapies have likely contributed to lowering adverse event rates, we speculate that clotting and bleeding ad...

Deep brain stimulation for movement disorders after stroke: a systematic review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first systematic review of DBS for poststroke movement disorders. Overall, most studies to date have been case reports and small series reporting heterogeneous patients and surgical strategies. This review suggests that DBS for movement disorders after a stroke has the potential to be effective and safe for diverse patients, and DBS may be a feasible option to improve function even years after a stroke.PMID:36308482 | DOI:10.3171/2022.8.JNS221334

Getting the guts to expand stroke treatment: The potential for microbiome targeted therapies
CONCLUSION: Recent research has illuminated the vital role of the GBA in propagating poor clinical outcomes, such as hemorrhagic transformation, following ischemic stroke. Considering this detrimental consequence of stroke, and the apparent role of the GBA role, future therapeutics should aim to mitigate this peripheral contribution to stroke complications.PMID:36217699 | DOI:10.1111/cns.13988

How does culture influence the implementation of strategy training in stroke rehabilitation? A rapid ethnographic study of therapist perspectives in Taiwan and the United States
CONCLUSIONS: Therapists from both countries shared similar perspectives on the perceived advantages of strategy training, such as enhancing client empowerment and engagement, and the generalization of strategies. Family involvement was more prominently discussed by therapists in Taiwan than by those in the United States.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONStrategy training differs from conventional rehabilitation in its emphasis on clients' life participation and empowerment, generalization of strategies, and enhancement of their engagement, confidence, and problem-solving skills.Therapists may face challenges related to client...
