A pilot randomized controlled trial comparing effectiveness of prism glasses, visual search training and standard care in hemianopia
ConclusionsNo significant change occurred for area of visual field area across arms over follow‐up. Visual search training had significant improvement in vision‐related quality of life. Prism therapy produced adverse events in 69%. Visual search training results warrant further investigation.

Identifying patients at risk of acute symptomatic seizure after ischemic stroke
ConclusionsBecause of low incidence and the lack of specific risk factors, acute symptomatic seizure after ischemic stroke is hard to predict. The negative effect of seizure on stroke outcome is uncertain, and more thorough studies are needed because of possible subtle or non‐overt seizures.

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.

Ipsilateral hemiparesis in ischemic stroke patients
ConclusionsMost patients with ipsilateral hemiparesis had a past history of stroke contralateral to the recent one, resulting in motor deficits contralateral to the earlier lesions. Moreover, functional neuroimaging findings indicated an active crossed corticospinal tract in all of the examined patients. Both findings suggest the contribution of the uncrossed corticospinal tract contralateral to stroke lesions as a post‐stroke compensatory motor system.

Serum YKL ‐40, a prognostic marker in patients with large‐artery atherosclerotic stroke
ConclusionsThe level of serum YKL‐40 is a significant and independent biomarker to predict the clinical outcome of LAA stroke.

Wake ‐up stroke—Amendable for thrombolysis‐like stroke with known onset time?
Patients suffering an acute ischemic stroke can be treated with intravenous thrombolysis in the absence of contraindications. A known onset time is a prerequisite as treatment, according to guidelines, has to be started within 4.5 hours. In patients awakening with a stroke, the last time they were seen without a neurological deficit is assumed to be the time of onset. Thus, despite of lack of contraindications on initial brain imaging, these patients are largely excluded from therapy. This review discusses the underlying pathophysiological, clinical, and radiological evidence surrounding wake‐up stroke and its consequen...

Ultra ‐acute diagnostics for stroke: Large‐scale implementation of prehospital biomarker sampling
ConclusionsPrehospital biomarker sampling can be implemented in all EMS units and provides a median timesaving of more than 30 minutes to first blood sample. Large prehospital sample sets will enable development of novel ambulance biomarkers to improve early differential diagnosis and treatment of thrombolysis candidates.

Bone marrow mononuclear cell therapy in ischaemic stroke: a systematic review
Bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM‐MNC) therapy has emerged as a potential therapy for the treatment of stroke. We performed a systematic review of published studies using BM‐MNC therapy in patients with ischaemic stroke (IS). Literature was searched using MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, Trip Database, Cochrane library and clinicaltrial.gov to identify studies on BM‐MNC therapy in IS till June, 2016. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers. STATA version 13 was used for carrying out meta‐analysis. We included non‐randomized open‐label, single‐arm and non‐randomized comparative studies or randomized contro...

The impact of physical function on participation in the first year post ‐stroke
ConclusionsThe findings indicate that to improve participation during the first year post‐stroke, physical functioning as well as emotional and cognitive health can be important areas of concern when forming rehabilitation interventions.

Preexisting cognitive impairment in intracerebral hemorrhage
ConclusionsIn conclusion, cognitive impairment frequently precedes ICH. A higher frequency of cerebrovascular events suggests a role of vascular processes in the development of cognitive impairment before ICH.

Anemia and stroke: Where do we stand?
Anemia seems to have a clear relationship with cerebrovascular events (CVEs), as there is a direct connection between central nervous system, blood supply, and tissue oxygen delivery. Anemia is considered a hyperkinetic state which disturbs endothelial adhesion molecule genes that may lead to thrombus formation. Furthermore, blood flow augmentation and turbulence may result in the migration of this thrombus, thus producing artery‐to‐artery embolism. It is for this reason that anemia is characterized as “the fifth cardiovascular risk factor.” Anemia is consistently present in patients with acute stroke, ranging from...

Socioeconomic factors ’ effect on return to work after first stroke
ConclusionPatients with low socioeconomic status less often RTW 1 year after stroke.Impaired functional status after stroke is more common in patients with lower socioeconomic status and mediates socioeconomic differences in RTW. Improvement of functional status should be targeted to facilitate RTW among stroke patients with low socioeconomic status.
