Time course of NT‐proBNP levels after acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionNT‐proBNP levels were highest in the first 2 days after ischemic stroke and declined significantly thereafter. However, the area under the curve for the three time points was similar. The first 72 hours after ischemic stroke have a similar diagnostic accuracy to diagnose cardioembolic stroke.

Consistent determinants of post‐stroke health‐related quality of life across diverse cultures: Berlin–Ibadan study
ConclusionsBased on these consistent determinants, the stroke recovery cycle, a novel therapeutic model aimed at improving sense of purpose and meaning in life after stroke while promoting emotional and physical well‐being, is proposed for further exploration.

Outcome of men and women after atrial fibrillation and stroke
ConclusionsThere were no gender differences in long‐term mortality after stroke related to AF. Men were significantly more often prescribed anticoagulants before stroke, a finding that indicates the need for further studies.

Determinants of post‐stroke cognitive impairment: analysis from VISTA
ConclusionsBesides well‐known determinants of PSCI such as age, stroke severity and the presence of vascular risk factors, also leg paralysis is associated with subsequent of PSCI up to 3 years after stroke.

Cognitive function in stroke survivors: A 10 ‐year follow‐up study
ConclusionsPost‐stroke cognitive impairment was prevalent among 10‐year stroke survivors, and the odds of having severe cognitive impairment were higher among the stroke survivors compared to non‐stroke persons. The burden of long‐term PSCI might have been underestimated previously, and MoCA may be more suitable than MMSE to detect long‐term PSCI.

Incidence and predictors of post‐stroke epilepsy
ConclusionsBased on the revised ILAE definition of epilepsy, the incidence of PSE was high in the ESPro. The only independent predictor for PSE was stroke severity.

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.

Recurrent ischemic stroke is associated with the burden of risk factors
ConclusionHistory of prior ischemic stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke was associated with the burden of risk factors, atherosclerosis, and atrial fibrillation compared to first‐ever ischemic stroke. This has important implications for secondary preventive treatment.

Headache in stroke according to National Acute Stroke Israeli Survey
ConclusionsIntracerebral hemorrhage, younger age, female gender, posterior circulation involvement, and headache history are predictors for headache occurrence in acute stroke. Headache incidence in ICH correlates with stroke severity as opposed to IS. Headache in TIA is not unusual. Lacunar strokes are generally not accompanied by headaches. Headache remains the main complaint in SVT and carotid dissection.

ConclusionsPatients with a haemorrhagic stroke differed from other stroke patients with a more frequent and rapid activation of EMS.

Immunological consequences of ischemic stroke
The treatment of ischemic stroke is one of the great challenges in modern neurology. The localization and the size of the infarct determine the long‐term disability of stroke survivors. Recent observations have revealed that stroke also alters the function of the immune system and vice versa: At the site of the infarct, a local inflammatory response develops that enhances brain lesion development. In experimental stroke, proof‐of‐concept studies confirm that inhibition of this immune response reduces lesion volume and improves outcome. In the peripheral blood of stroke patients, though, lymphocytopenia and monocyte d...

Public stroke awareness and intent to call 112 in Sweden
ConclusionWe confirm a rather low public awareness of stroke in Sweden, poorer among males and those with low education. With increasing age, a lower proportion indicated intent to call 112 for stroke symptoms.

National registry‐based case–control study: comorbidity and stroke in young adults
ConclusionsIn addition to vascular risk factors, comorbidity (represented by ICD‐10 chapters) was associated with increased risk of stroke in young individuals. The risk of stroke was further increased with the number of diagnosed ICD‐10 chapters.

Case‐fatality and disability in the Tanzanian Stroke Incidence Project cohort
ConclusionsCase‐fatality rates are higher than reported in high‐income countries, with post‐stroke disability a significant predictor of death. Sustainable interventions to reduce post‐stroke disability in this setting should be investigated.
