Spouses of stroke survivors may be at risk for poor cognitive functioning: a cross-sectional population-based study.
CONCLUSIONS: Spousal caregivers of stroke survivors may be at risk for poor cognitive functioning. More work is needed to identify the processes that may contribute to the diminished cognitive capacity among these adults so that interventions may be developed to reduce caregiver burden and promote cognitive health.

Physical Activity Frequency and Risk of Incident Stroke in a National US Study of Blacks and Whites Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Self-reported low PA frequency is associated with increased risk of incident stroke. Any effect of PA is likely to be mediated through reducing traditional risk factors.

Population-Based Study of Disability and Institutionalization After Transient Ischemic Attack and Stroke: 10-Year Results of the Oxford Vascular Study Basic Sciences
Conclusions— Our results show that 70% of patients with stroke are either dead or disabled 5 years after the event. Thus, there remains considerable scope for improvements in acute treatment and secondary prevention to reduce postevent disability and institutionalization.

Family-Mediated Exercises (FAME): An Exploration of Participant's Involvement in a Novel Form of Exercise Delivery After Stroke.
Conclusion: This research serves to increase our understanding of the role of family members in the rehabilitation process after stroke, particularly in relation to exercise delivery, from the perspective of the individuals with stroke and their family members. PMID: 24521841 [PubMed - in process]

C-Reactive Protein as a Prognostic Marker After Lacunar Stroke: Levels of Inflammatory Markers in the Treatment of Stroke Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Among recent lacunar stroke patients, hsCRP levels predict the risk of recurrent strokes and other vascular events. hsCRP did not predict the response to dual antiplatelets. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00059306.

Cognitive Impairment and Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Cognitive impairment is associated with higher risk of stroke. The associations were not significantly different for executive function, memory, and language.

Insomnia Subtypes and the Subsequent Risks of Stroke: Report From a Nationally Representative Cohort Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Insomnia predisposes individuals to increased risk of stroke and this association is profound among young adults. Our results underscore the clinical importance of identifying and treating insomnia. A novel behavioral intervention targeting insomnia that may prevent stroke should be explored.

Socioeconomic Inequalities in Stroke Incidence Among Migrant Groups: Analysis of Nationwide Data Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Our findings reveal socioeconomic inequalities in stroke incidence among all ethnic groups. Reduction of socioeconomic inequalities in stroke incidence among all ethnic groups may lead to a major public health improvement for all. Policy measures tackling socioeconomic inequalities should take into account the increased risk of stroke among ethnic minority populations.

Long-Term Costs of Stroke Using 10-Year Longitudinal Data From the North East Melbourne Stroke Incidence Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Costs to 10 years after stroke have not previously been reported. Our findings demonstrate the importance of estimating resource use over longer periods for forecasting lifetime estimates.

Socioeconomic Position and Survival After Stroke in Denmark 2003 to 2012: Nationwide Hospital-Based Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The survival of patients with low income was reduced by 30% as compared with those with high income. Education had only a modest effect and only in patients aged <65 years. The impact of socioeconomic position was on late but not on early poststroke death.

Depression after stroke and risk of mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions. Despite some limitations, this paper confirms the potential role of depression on post stroke mortality. The relationship between depression and mortality after stroke seems to be related to the followup duration. Further research is needed to clarify the nature of the association between depression after stroke and mortality. PMID: 23533964 [PubMed]

Intraluminal Thrombus, Intraplaque Hemorrhage, Plaque Thickness, and Current Smoking Optimally Predict Carotid Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— After excluding patients with noncarotid plaque stroke sources, optimal discrimination of carotid-source stroke was obtained with intraluminal thrombus, IPH, plaque thickness, and smoking history but not ulceration and stenosis.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and Risk of Incident Stroke in Community-Living Adults Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Higher FGF23 concentrations were associated with higher risk of cardioembolic but not with other stroke subtypes in community-dwelling adults. Additional studies should delineate reasons for these findings.

Adherence to a Mediterranean Diet and Prediction of Incident Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— High adherence to MeD seems to be associated with a lower risk of incident IS independent of potential confounders. Adherence to MeD is not related to the risk of incident hemorrhagic stroke.

Effect of Seasonal and Monthly Variation in Weather and Air Pollution Factors on Stroke Incidence in Seoul, Korea Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— We demonstrated distinct patterns of seasonal and monthly variation in the incidence of stroke and its subtypes through consideration of the meteorologic and air pollution parameters. We therefore expect that these findings may enhance our understanding of the relationships between stroke and weather and pollutants.
