Fracture risk and bone health following a stroke are inadequately considered by physicians: A UK survey of practice
Conclusions We found marked heterogeneity in the approach of UK stroke physicians to the assessment of fracture risk and management of bone health in stroke patients with overall under-appreciation of fracture risk and low levels of assessment. Our findings support the need for clear guidelines regarding fracture risk assessment and bone health in patients who have experienced a stroke.

Increased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction in patients with epilepsy: A systematic review of population-based cohort studies.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with epilepsy are at higher risk of subsequent stroke and MI in comparison with subjects without epilepsy. Although individual AEDs may carry different risks of cardio- and cerebrovascular disease, the clinical relevance of the metabolic effects of the enzyme-inducing AEDs is still uncertain. This article is part of the Special Issue "Seizures & Stroke.

Epilepsia Partialis Continua Secondary To Ischemic Stroke, Responsive To The Combination Of Levetiracetam And Lacosamide (P4.255)
CONCLUSIONS: EPC represents a condition commonly refractory to AED. We report two cases of EPC secondary to subacute and chronic IS that showed responsiveness to the combination of levetiracetam and lacosamide. Further evaluation of this AED combination in treating this difficult condition is needed.Disclosure: Dr. Thompson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Murr has nothing to disclose. Dr. Fayad has received research support from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and St Jude Medical.

Efficacy of phenytoin, valproic acid, carbamazepine and new antiepileptic drugs on control of late‐onset post‐stroke epilepsy in Taiwan
ConclusionsThis large nationwide, population‐based study demonstrated that late‐onset post‐stroke epilepsy patients using VPA and new AEDs have better seizure control than those using PHT as demonstrated by lower risks of ER visits and hospitalization.

Todd's Paralysis: A Crucial Entity Masquerading Stroke in the Emergency Department
A 73-year-old female with history of hypertension, left parietal ischemic stroke (leading to sequela of slight paralysis in her right extremities), and symptomatic epilepsy presented with right-sided weakness after a 5-min-long, convulsive right-sided seizure. Due to the post-seizure right-sided paralysis, the patient was referred to our center with a provisional diagnosis of acute stroke. However, interrogation of patient history revealed that the patient had been taking aspirin 300 mg and phenytoin 2 × 100 mg regularly before her presentation.

Stroke and Ischemic Heart Disease With Enzyme-inducing Antiseizure Medications: Time to Change Prescribing Habits
Conclusions and Relevance: The hazard of incident cardiovascular disease is higher in those receiving eiASMs. The association is dose dependent and the absolute difference in hazard seems to reach clinical significance by approximately 10 years from first exposure.PMID:35444497 | PMC:PMC8988723 | DOI:10.1177/15357597211070392
