Life situation 5  years after subarachnoid haemorrhage
ConclusionsIn this 5‐year follow‐up after SAH, the participants reported to have a greater number of hidden disabilities compared to physical problems, whereas most had acceptable participation in society. A yearly follow‐up after a SAH could be suggested aiming to improving the cognitive and mental health.

Prehospital pathways of occipital stroke patients with mainly visual symptoms
ConclusionsOccipital stroke patients with visual symptoms contact health care late, are inadequately recognized, and present with complex prehospital pathways. Consequently, they are often ineligible for IV thrombolysis. This presents a missed opportunity for preventing permanent visual field defects.

Prognostic role of hypochloremia in acute ischemic stroke patients
ConclusionsHypochloremia at admission was independently associated with in‐hospital mortality in AIS patients.

Accelerated atherosclerosis in ANCA ‐associated vasculitis
ConclusionsOur study adds weight to the presence of increased atherosclerosis in AAV‐patients. The association observed between CIMT and PI‐ICA with small vessel cerebral disease, points the possible association of easy to use carotid US in predicting microvascular brain injury.

Transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke patients with or without prior stroke
ConclusionsBoth in TIA and IS, vascular risk factors were more common in patients with a history of stroke compared with those without. In contrast to other secondary preventive medications, OAC treatment in the presence of AF was underutilized in patients with a history of stroke.

Impact of the Swedish National Stroke Campaign on stroke awareness
ConclusionThe nationwide campaign substantially increased knowledge about the AKUT test and intention to call 112 when experiencing or observing stroke symptoms, but knowledge declined post‐intervention. Repeated public information therefore appears essential to sustain knowledge gains.

Low ‐frequency rTMS of the unaffected hemisphere in stroke patients: A systematic review
The aim of this review was to summarize the evidence for the effectiveness of low‐frequency (LF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the unaffected hemisphere in promoting functional recovery after stroke. We performed a systematic search of the studies using LF‐rTMS over the contralesional hemisphere in stroke patients and reviewed the 67 identified articles. The studies have been gathered together according to the time interval that had elapsed between the stroke onset and the beginning of the rTMS treatment. Inhibitory rTMS of the contralesional hemisphere can induce beneficial effects on stroke...

Prevalence and predictors of anxiety in an African sample of recent stroke survivors
ConclusionsOne in five recent stroke survivors in SSA has clinically significant anxiety, and well over 70% of those with anxiety also have depression. Future studies will need to determine what specific impact post‐stroke anxiety may have on post‐stroke clinical processes and outcomes.

Elevated body temperature in ischemic stroke associated with neurological improvement
ConclusionsWe found an inverse association between admission body temperature and neurological improvement within few hours after admission. This finding may be limited to patients with documented proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion on admission and suggests a beneficial effect of higher body temperature on clot lysis within the first three hours.

Reversed aqueductal cerebrospinal fluid net flow in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
ConclusionsINPH patients present hyperdynamic flow with increased velocity and volume both in systole and diastole phase. Degree of rising in diastole phase exceeds that of systole phase. The resulting reversal of netflow direction may play a key role in the occurrence of ventriculomegaly in iNPH patients.

Small vessel disease and clinical outcomes after IV rt ‐PA treatment
ConclusionOur results suggest that SVD negatively affects stroke outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis. Although white matter changes seem to be the major driver in relation to worse outcomes, global estimation of SVD is feasible and may provide helpful information.

Risk of stroke after bereavement —a systematic literature review
Several studies have suggested that psychological stress may increase the risk of stroke. However, this link remains a controversial issue because of conflicting findings. Bereavement, the loss of a close relative, is considered a severely stressful life event. Increased risk of stroke could thus be expected after bereavement if stress plays a causal role. We aimed to evaluate the association between bereavement and stroke by performing a systematic review of the existing literature. The literature search was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. A search in Medline and Embase identified elig...

Impact of obstructive sleep apnea on neurological recovery after ischemic stroke: A prospective study

The prognosis of stroke survivors primarily discharged to their homes
ConclusionsAlmost 90% of the stroke patients could be discharged to their homes, but they needed more often NHP in the long run than the stroke‐free controls. Stroke patients discharged to their homes were younger at the time of NHP and death indicating that the stroke deficit may contribute to increased morbidity and mortality in this patient group.
