Relationship between Alcohol Intake and Stroke Severity in Japanese Patients: a Sex- and Subtype-Stratified Analysis
Stroke is a severe disease that causes disability in many patients, warranting the urgent development of treatment options.1-4 Previous studies have reported that the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS) linearly increases with increasing alcohol intake.5-12 Furthermore, moderate alcohol intake has been shown to lower the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), and a J-curve association has been observed between alcohol consumption and morbidity rate of IS.7-14 These reports were similar in that they considered alcohol intake as a risk factor for stroke development.

Screening for Fabry Disease in Japanese Patients with Young-Onset Stroke by Measuring α-Galactosidase A and Globotriaosylsphingosine
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in GLA, which encodes the enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). Although the prevalence of Fabry disease in patients with stroke has been reported to range from 0% to 4%, few cohort studies have examined Japanese stroke patients. We aimed to clarify the prevalence of Fabry disease and the frequency of GLA mutations among patients w ith young-onset stroke in Japan.

Dabigatran for Japanese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Prior Stroke: A Subgroup Analysis of the J-Dabigatran Surveillance Program
Background: The study objective was to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of dabigatran 110 mg and 150 mg twice daily (bid) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) with a focus on secondary stroke prevention. Methods: In J-Dabigatran Surveillance, 6772 patients newly initiated on dabigatran to prevent ischemic stroke and systemic embolism were enrolled in Japan (1042 sites, December 2011 to November 2013). This subgroup analysis included patients with (1302) and without (5071) previous stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Association between Serum Uric Acid Level and Activity of Daily Living in Japanese Patients with Ischemic Stroke
An association between serum uric acid and outcomes of ischemic stroke has been reported, but the results are controversial. The aim of this study is to clarify how uric acid may affect activities of daily living after acute ischemic stroke.

Effectiveness of Intensive Rehabilitation Therapy on Functional Outcomes After Stroke: A Propensity Score Analysis Based on Japan Rehabilitation Database
This study was a retrospective cohort study. From the database, 6875 patients who were admitted to the convalescent rehabilitation wards with stroke were identified. After excluding 4586 patients, 2325 were eligible for the study. Intensive rehabilitation therapy (IRT) was defined as rehabilitation therapy of more than 15 hours per week by a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, and/or a speech therapist.

Quality Management Program of Stroke Rehabilitation Using Adherence to Guidelines: A Nationwide Initiative in Japan
In recent years, interest in the quality of medical care has rapidly increased worldwide. However, quality indicators that contribute to establishing standard treatment in stroke medicine, especially rehabilitation, are not well-developed in Japan. Japan has established Kaifukuki (convalescent) rehabilitation wards, and the development of quality indicators for stroke rehabilitation in the convalescent phase is an urgent issue.

Letter to the Editor Regarding “Relationship of Malnutrition during Hospitalization with Functional Recovery and Postdischarge Destination in Elderly Stroke Patients”
We read with great interest the article by Sato et al on the relationship of malnutrition with acute stroke in 205 patients hospitalized at the Shinshu University hospital, Japan.1 We would like to provide an additional nationwide United States (US) perspective on outcomes of hospitalized stroke patients with protein energy malnutrition (PEM).

Prevalence and Predictors of Multivitamin Supplement Use After Stroke in Ghana
Multivitamin supplementation is widely practiced in high-income countries due to a popular belief of its health promotion and disease prevention benefits. Evidence for their purported efficacy has been mixed. Regarding the efficacy of multivitamins on prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, or all-cause mortality, some studies have shown no effect,1 –4 harmful effects,5,6 and beneficial effects.7,8 Three prospective studies have evaluated the effect of multivitamin use on stroke prevention with two showing negative outcomes3,5 and the third among 72,000 Japanese showing frequent use of multivitamins was associated ...

A Case of Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke Caused by Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia after Detaining Hepatic Arterial Infusion Catheter
In Japan, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) using reservoir system is recommended for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) whose hepatic spare ability is favorable. Arterial infusion catheter is commonly detained in hepatic artery via femoral or brachial artery. In our hospital, catheter is often inserted by puncturing the left subclavian or brachial artery considering the patient's activities of daily living (ADL) during long-term detaining. However, it rarely causes posterior circulation ischemic stroke because of the left vertebral artery branches on the path of catheter.
