Community-based Rehabilitation Training after stroke: protocol of a pilot randomised controlled trial (ReTrain)
Introduction
The Rehabilitation Training (ReTrain) intervention aims to improve functional mobility, adherence to poststroke exercise guidelines and quality of life for people after stroke.

A Case-Based Discussion on the Management of Cryptogenic Stroke and Patent Foramen Ovale in the Patient With a Hypercoagulable Disorder
UP TO 40% of all ischemic strokes are considered cryptogenic, implying a stroke without a definitive etiology.1,2 With a dearth of evidence-guided treatment strategies, the literature surrounding cryptogenic stroke is highly variable and not well-standardized. Even though existing guidelines do not specify the exact testing required, the cryptogenic stroke evaluation includes a variety of imaging modalities (eg, echocardiography, angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, carotid ultrasound) and laboratory investigations (eg, genetic testing, hypercoagulable disorder panels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate).
