Recurrent stroke arrival time
Stroke patients and family members should receive stroke education including recognition of stroke symptoms and prompt activation of emergency medical services (EMS). The impact of this education is unclear. We aimed to measure the associations between EMS use and timing of hospital arrival and first-ever and recurrent strokes as a proxy for stroke education.

Determinants of stroke mortality among west africans: findings from the siren study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in low-and-medium-income countries, but the pattern and determinants of stroke fatality are yet to be clearly understood among Africans. We assessed the determinants of stroke mortality among adults from 15 sites in Ghana and Nigeria in the Stroke Investigative Research and Educational Network (SIREN) study in West Africa.

Methods and early recruitment of the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi —Post-acute Care (BASIC-PAC) Project
Mexican Americans (MAs) are the most numerous sub-group of Latinx, the largest minority population in the United States. This important sub-group is aging and growing rapidly. Stroke incidence is similar in MAs compared with non-Hispanic whites (NHWs),1 and MA stroke survivors have worse neurologic, functional, cognitive and quality of life outcomes at 90-days post-stroke compared with NHWs for reasons that are not completely understood.2 Worse stroke outcomes in MAs are not fully explained by socio-demographics, including education and insurance, stroke treatment, stroke severity or subtype, or pre-stroke factors.

Can We Learn from Our Children About stroke? Effectiveness of a School-Based Educational Programme in Greece
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of chronic functional limitations.1 Without appropriate and timely care between the stroke symptom appearance and the treatment in acute stroke incidents, the ischemic brain ages 3.6 years for every hour of blood deprivation.2 Yet patients repeatedly arrive late to the hospital.3,4 The lack of public awareness about stroke symptoms has been reported in the literature as one of the main factors, causing this belated arrival to the hospital and hence the belated medical treatment.

Educational Intervention in the Emergency Department to Address Disparities in Stroke Knowledge
In the United States, Black individuals have higher stroke incidence and mortality when compared to white individuals and are also at risk of having lower stroke knowledge and awareness. With the need to implement focused interventions to decrease stroke disparities, the objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an emergency department-based educational intervention aimed at increasing stroke awareness and preparedness among a disproportionately high-risk group.

Feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the phone based interventions under nurse guidance after stroke (pings) in ghana
PINGS is a clinical trial to evaluate a nurse-led mHealth technology - centered approach to maintaining BP control among recent stroke survivors with hypertension in Ghana. PINGS involves domiciliary BP self-monitoring, mobile phone consultations, phone alerts as reminders, and patient education via text messages. We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of PINGS from the perspective of health workers in general - not necessarily working in stroke rehabilitation.

Response to the Letter to the Editor by Kishore et al.
We appreciate these comments on our recently published article on the referral pattern of patients with acute retinal arterial ischemia at our institution.1 As Dr. Kishore et al. know, we have been trying for quite some time now to educate eye care providers regarding the need to have these patients immediately evaluated in emergency facilities with the help of neurologists with an expertise in stroke. Over the past decade, we alerted the ophthalmology community to the necessity of following previously published guidelines by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association.

Virtual rounding in stroke care and neurology education during the COVID-19 pandemic - a residency program survey
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we instituted virtual inpatient stroke rounds and acute stroke evaluations via telemedicine in the emergency department. We sought to explore trainees ’ and experienced providers’ views on stroke care and education.

Educational Program Improved Senior Preparedness to Call 911 as a Response to Stroke
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in most parts of the world.1 Even though treatment is available, its benefit is highly time-dependent.2,3 Frequently, a minority of patients receive appropriate therapy4 due to low public stroke and heart attack awareness, which leads to delays in medical emergency activation.5 –7

Educating Caregivers to Reduce Complications and Improve Outcomes of Stroke Patients (ECCOS) – A Cluster-Randomized Trial
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity.1,2 Post-stroke complications were found to be significant predictors of mortality and morbidity.3-9 Patients treated in organized stroke units had better results,10 partly attributed to prevention of complications.11 As India has a limited number of stroke units,12 most stroke patients are managed in general wards potentially leading to sub-optimal outcomes.13

Impact of a Pre-Discharge Education Session on Stroke Knowledge: a Randomized Trial
Stroke knowledge, awareness of risk factors and stroke warning symptoms is very poor among stroke survivors. We investigated whether a pre-discharge education intervention in the stroke unit could improve stroke knowledge in patients with TIA or minor stroke.

Early Cognitive Assessment Following Acute Stroke: Feasibility and Comparison between Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment
Objectives: Cognitive assessment is not performed routinely in the acute stroke setting. We investigated factors associated with cognitive impairment and the differences between the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores in patients with acute stroke. Methods: In this prospective study, 881 consecutive patients (median age, 73 years) with acute stroke were enrolled. Clinical characteristics, such as education, vascular risk factors, premorbid cognitive status using the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE), and stroke severity, were assessed.

Vascular Cellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and Memory Impairment in African-Americans after Small Vessel-Type Stroke
We examined whether inflammatory/endothelial dysfunction biomarkers are associated with cognition after SVS in AAs. Methods: Biomarkers were obtained in 24 subjects (median age 56.5 years, 54% women, median 12 years education). Cognition was assessed more than 6 weeks poststroke using the memory composite score (MCS), which was generated using recall from the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-II and Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised.
