Insomnia as an additional clinical correlate of suicidal ideation after stroke
Suicide-related behaviors are frequent among stroke survivors [1]. In a recent systematic review and meta-analysis [2], it has been shown that about one out of eight subjects suffering from stroke may have suicidal ideation afterward (i.e., thinking about, considering or planning suicide). Findings, based on 15 studies including 13 independent samples and 10,400 unique subjects, showed a pooled proportion of suicidal ideation of 11.8% (7.4% to 16.2%). Suicidal ideation was less likely in stroke survivors who were married, employed and had higher education levels.

Taking A Hot Bath Linked To Lower Risk Of Heart Disease And Stroke, Study Finds
(CNN) — Ending your day with a hot bath might have more benefits than just relaxation.
It could also lower your risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study finds.
Previous research on bathing has already shown that it’s beneficial for sleep quality and how healthy a person thinks they are.
A new study, published Tuesday in the journal Heart, found that a daily hot bath is also associated with a 28% lower risk of heart disease, and a 26% lower risk of stroke — likely because taking a bath is also associated with lowering your blood pressure, the researchers said.
They discovered this after tracking the b...

Effect of education and muscle relaxation program on anxiety, depression and care burden in caregivers of acute stroke survivors: A randomized, controlled study
This study intended to discover the effect of education and muscle relaxation (EMR) program on anxiety, depression and care burden among caregivers of acute stroke survivors.
This randomized, controlled study enrolled a total of 110 caregivers of first-ever acute stroke patients, and randomly assigned to EMR (N = 55) and control (N = 55) groups. The caregivers in the EMR group received 12-month health education and progressive muscle relaxation, and those in control group were provided common rehabilitation advices. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale in caregivers were ...

TeleRehabilitation with Aims to Improve Lower extremity recovery in community-dwelling individuals who have had a stroke: protocol for a multisite, parallel group, assessor-blinded, randomised attention-controlled trial
Introduction
Telerehabilitation is an accessible service delivery model that may support innovative lower extremity rehabilitation programmes that extend the stroke recovery continuum into the community. Unfortunately, there is limited evidence on the provision of exercises for lower extremity recovery after stroke delivered using telerehabilitation. In response, we developed the TeleRehabilitation with Aims to Improve Lower extremity recovery poststroke (TRAIL) programme, a 4-week progressive exercise and self-management intervention delivered synchronously using video-conferencing technology. Our primary hypothesis is th...

Pre-Existing Dementia in Octagenerians with Acute Ischemic Stroke
To investigate the prevalance of pre-existing dementia and vascular risk factors in hospitalized octaganerians with acute ischemic stroke. Study subjects were selected from neurology inpatient records of Haseki Research and Education Hospital and included inpatients over 80 years old with acute ischemic stroke between January 2010 and July 2013.

Speech Pathology Reliability for Stroke Swallowing Screening Items
This study examined speech-language pathologists’ (SLPs) reliability in interpreting screening items. Swallowing screening was completed in 75 individuals admitted with stroke symptoms. Screening items evaluated were lethargy, dysarthria, wet voice unrelated to swallowing, abnormal volitional cough, and cough, throat clear, wet voice after swallowing, and inability to continuously drink with ingestion of 5 and 90 ml water. Two SLPs, each with more than 10 years of experience, made simultaneous independent judgments of the same observations obtained from the screening. Overall, generally high agreement was identified be...

Stroke Education Video Does Not Affect Patient Satisfaction Scores: A System Analysis
With limited time and resources in the acute care hospital, the most effective methods of stroke education are crucial. A combination of methods of one-on-one counseling or teaching, print, and video has been shown to have the greatest effect. Video education is a component of a combination educational approach. This evaluation from a large integrated system comprising 21 medical facilities compared patient satisfaction data with stroke education from 5 facilities that have video educational services and print materials and 17 facilities that provide print materials only. All 21 facilities provided additional teaching by t...

Studies: Low-Dose Aspirin May Not Prevent Initial Heart Attack, Stroke
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds.
Although it’s been used for more than a century, aspirin’s value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don’t yet have heart disease or a blood vessel-related problem.
One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks...

Factors affecting in-hospital delay of intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke: A retrospective cohort study
This study was designed to investigate the factors affecting the in-hospital delay of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Two hundred and forty-eight consecutive AIS patients treated with intravenous administration of alteplase in Gansu Provincial Hospital from December 2014 to August 2018 were enrolled retrospectively in this study. According to door-to-needle (DTN) time, the patients were divided into either a delay group (DTN time> 60 minutes; n = 184) or a non-delay group (DTN time ≤60 minutes; n = 64). The baseline data, laboratory tests, onset-to-door (OTD) time, door-to-acc...

Embedding Best Evidence Cultural and Clinical Stroke Care in Training
Cultural change within hospitals is difficult, and discussions around provision of care to meet the needs of Aboriginal patients can be fraught with challenges, despite evidence of disparities in hospital care and poorer health and social post-hospital outcomes. The Department for Health and Wellbeing sought to develop an evidence-based education package for health care staff to support improvements in the provision of in-hospital stroke care for and with Aboriginal stroke patients and family.
