Prevalence and predictors of low folate levels among stroke survivors in a country without mandatory folate food fortification: Analysis of a Ghanaian sample
Vitamin supplementation with folic acid (FA) reduces hyperhomocysteinemia (Hcy), a vascular risk factor with a strong, graded, and independent association with stroke and other vascular diseases.1 Available data suggest that a 25% reduction in total plasma homocysteine level is accompanied by a 19% lower stroke risk.1,2 Evidence from clinical trials on the effect of folate supplementation on mitigation of stroke risk has however been conflicting. A synthesis of clinical trial data has shown that supplemental FA had a neutral effect on reducing vascular events in countries with a mandate for folate fortification of food, fo...

Race-Ethnic Disparities in Cardiometabolic Risk Profiles among Stroke Survivors with Undiagnosed Diabetes and Prediabetes in the United States
Up to 25% of the U.S. population has undiagnosed diabetes. Diabetes and stroke both disproportionately afflict race/ethnic minorities. We assessed race/ethnic differences in the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes, prediabetes, and cardiometabolic risk profiles among stroke survivors in the United States.

Patterns and Predictors of Depression Treatment among Stroke Survivors with Depression in Ambulatory Settings in the United States
Despite the importance of treating depression, little is known regarding the current practice pattern of depression treatment among older adults with stroke and depression. We used national survey data from ambulatory settings to examine the depression treatment patterns and predictors among stroke survivors in the United States (US).

Increasing prevalence of vascular risk factors in patients with stroke: A call to action
Conclusions: Despite numerous guidelines and prevention initiatives, prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, and drug abuse in AIS increased across the 2004–2014 period. Proportion of patients with carotid stenosis, CRF, and multiple risk factors also increased. Enhanced risk factor modification strategies and implementation of evidence-based recommendations are needed for optimal stroke prevention.

Modeling the Impact of Transcendental Meditation on Stroke Incidence and Mortality
Meditation has shown promise in clinical trials in reducing systolic blood pressure, one of the main risk factors for stroke. We aim to estimate the potential benefits of popularizing meditation on stroke incidence and mortality in the United States (U.S.).

Integration of Real-Time Electronic Health Records and Wireless Technology in a Mobile Stroke Unit
Background: UCHealth's Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) at University of Colorado Hospital is an ambulance equipped with a computed tomography (CT) scanner and tele-stroke capabilities that began clinical operation in Aurora, Colorado January 2016. As one of the first MSU's in the United States, it was necessary to design unique and dynamic information technology infrastructure. This includes high-speed cellular connectivity, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliance, cloud-based and remote access to electronic medical records (EMR), and reliable and rapid image transfer.

Letter to the Editor Regarding “Relationship of Malnutrition during Hospitalization with Functional Recovery and Postdischarge Destination in Elderly Stroke Patients”
We read with great interest the article by Sato et al on the relationship of malnutrition with acute stroke in 205 patients hospitalized at the Shinshu University hospital, Japan.1 We would like to provide an additional nationwide United States (US) perspective on outcomes of hospitalized stroke patients with protein energy malnutrition (PEM).

Social Network Simulation Identifies Persistent Racial Disparities Of Delay To Hospital In Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Delayed arrival to the hospital remains the major reason for not deploying stroke therapies. In the United States, minority patients have longer delays that have not been adequately understood nor acted upon. Social context plays a key role, because most strokes occur in front of witnesses who influence decision-making. We created a social network simulation to understand the interpersonal factors that influence decision-making following acute stroke, particularly in minority patients.

Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment in United States
There is accumulating data suggesting that the ischemic stroke may be increased in patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to hyper coagulopathy1,2. An increase in acute ischemic stroke patients who require mechanical thrombectomy is to be expected particularly in regions with high rates of COVID-191.

Outcomes of Homeless Ischemic Stroke Patients Receiving Intravenous Thrombolysis in the United States
Morbidity and mortality among homeless people with cardiovascular diseases and stroke in the United States is high. Adverse outcomes within the homeless population may be the result of seeking care too late to receive time-sensitive interventions. We sought to investigate the impact of homelessness on ischemic stroke patients who received intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).
