Increased risk of stroke in patients with chronic kidney disease after recurrent hypoglycemia
Conclusions: CKD was associated with a higher risk of stroke and mortality in patients with hypoglycemia. Recurrent hypoglycemia considerably increased the risk of stroke and overall mortality in patients with CKD regardless of whether they had diabetes. These results suggest that hypoglycemia has a crucial role in stroke and death in patients with CKD.

CARES (Changing and Advancing Risk factor control through Educations after Stroke): A Pilot Trial of a Transitions in Care Post-discharge Telephone Intervention for Stroke Patients (S13.006)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a telephonic post-discharge intervention designed to improve access to care, reinforce self-management skills, improve health literacy, and screen for complications in a government-run safety net system. BACKGROUND: In the United States, risk factor control after stroke is poor, particularly among socio-economically disadvantaged populations with poor access to care. The immediate post-discharge period is a vulnerable time for stroke patients, given their risk of recurrent stroke, worsening symptoms, complications, and need for medication titra...

Classification algorithms using multiple MRI features in mild traumatic brain injury
Conclusion: Multifeature analysis using diffusion-weighted imaging, MFC, fMRI, and volumetrics may aid in the classification of patients with mTBI compared with controls based on optimal feature selection and classification methods. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class III evidence that classification algorithms using multiple MRI features accurately identifies patients with mTBI as defined by American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine criteria compared with healthy controls.
