Results of a Pilot Trial of a Lifestyle Intervention for Stroke Survivors: Healthy Eating and Lifestyle after Stroke
Although healthy lifestyle practices mitigate recurrent stroke risk and mortality, few stroke survivors adhere to them, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. We developed and pilot tested a occupational therapy-based lifestyle management intervention, Healthy Eating And Lifestyle after Stroke (HEALS), to improve stroke survivors ’ self-management skills relating to diet and physical activity and evaluated it in a diverse safety-net population.

Coffee Consumption and Stroke Risk: Evidence from a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of more than 2.4 Million Men and Women
Stroke remains the leading cause of disability and mortality globally. Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016, it was estimated that there were 13.7 million new stroke cases, 5.5 million deaths, 80.1 million prevalent cases, and 116.4 million disability-adjusted life-years.1 About 75% of stroke cases are ischemic, whereas the remaining cases are hemorrhagic.2 Stroke incidence increases with age. Well-known risk factors for stroke include personal history of hypertension, diabetes and cardiac diseases, unhealthy behavioral factors (heavy cigarette consumption, less physical inactivity, poor diet), and serious environmental risks.

A Pilot Trial of a Lifestyle Intervention for Stroke Survivors: Design of Healthy Eating and Lifestyle after Stroke (HEALS)
Stroke survivors have high rates of subsequent cardiovascular and recurrent cerebrovascular events, and mortality. While healthy lifestyle practices - including a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, limited alcohol intake, and regular physical activity - can mitigate these outcomes, few stroke survivors adhere to them. Minorities from socioeconomically disadvantaged communities who obtain care in safety-net health systems experience the most barriers to implementing healthy lifestyle changes after stroke.

Modifiable Factors Associated with Non-Adherence to Secondary Ischaemic Stroke Prevention Strategies
Eighty percent of stroke is due to five modifiable factors: hypertension, smoking, abdominal obesity, unhealthy diet, and lack of exercise.1 Risk factors for first-time and recurrent ischaemic stroke are similar.2 The absolute risk of a recurrent ischaemic stroke following an initial ischaemic stroke is 29.7% by five years.3 Recurrent strokes are associated with greater disability and mortality than first-time strokes.4 Secondary prevention strategies are key in reducing recurrent ischaemic events.

Trends in Diet Counseling Among Stroke Versus Non-Stroke Patients: Evidence from the NAMCS, 2011 –2016
Dietary modifications in post-stroke patients facilitated by diet counseling improves post-stroke recovery and stroke recurrence. The extent to which clinicians provide dietary counseling for these patients is unknown.

Early Motor-Behavioral Outcome of Ischemic Stroke with Ketogenic Diet Preconditioning: Interventional Animal Study
Background: Cerebral stroke, with ischemic stroke being its most common type, is the leading cause of chronic disability. The ketogenic diet has been used for treating seizures for centuries and has been considered to be a treatment for other neurologic diseases in recent years. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of ketogenic diet preconditioning on the early motor-behavior outcome of rats with induced cerebral ischemic stroke. Methods: Twenty-four rats were surveyed in 3 groups of Main, Control, and Sham.

The 2-Minute Spontaneous Swallowing Screening Predicts Independence on Enteral Feeding in Patients with Acute Stroke
It is recommended that enteral feeding should be offered to patients with dysphagia estimated to be unable to take adequate diet orally within 7 days of admission after acute stroke, but there is no clear criterion for initiation of enteral feeding. Recent studies have reported that the frequency of spontaneous swallowing is useful in screening for dysphagia in acute stroke. The present study was aimed to investigate whether measurement of frequency of spontaneous swallowing for 2 minutes could predict independence on enteral feeding 1 week after admission in patients with acute stroke.

Antioxidative effects of a novel dietary supplement Neumentix in a mouse stroke model
Stroke is the leading cause of disability and death worldwide,1 but current available therapies are limited.2 Oxidative stress is the major component of the stroke cascade, especially in the acute phase of an ischemic stroke.3,4 During brain ischemia and reperfusion, reactive oxygen species (ROS), also referred to as oxygen free radicals, are overproduced, while the endogenous antioxidative defense systems are disrupted.5 ROS generates toxic aldehyde 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE),6 glycated protein N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML),7 and oxidized DNA 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG).

National health insurance scheme: a means to effective stroke prevention among hypertensives in subsaharan africa
Uncontrolled hypertension is a leading cause of stroke in Sub-Saharan Africa. Factors affecting blood pressure control include low income, sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet. We sought to determine the role of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in achieving good blood control among hypertensives in Ghana and Nigeria and thus prevention of stroke and other cardiovascular complications of uncontrolled hypertension.

Impact of oral function on regaining oral intake and adjusting diet forms for acute stroke patients
Outcome prediction for dysphagia recovery is essential for rehabilitation treatment planning. Several studies have reported various predictors for resuming oral feeding after post-stroke dysphagia. However, evidence on oral health and function, a crucial part of feeding, has rarely been reported. Therefore, the goal of this study was to identify the oral status-related factors that could predict oral intake resumption in acute stroke patients.

Risk Factors and Diet Components Determining Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of a Prospective Hospital Register Study
Low adherence to a Mediterranean diet (MeDi) is associated with increased incidence, mortality, and severity of acute ischemic strokes (AIS). Nevertheless, the explanatory factors associated with such results are unclear. Our aim was to investigate stroke risk factors associated with adherence to a MeDi in a prospective cohort of AIS patients.
