Factors Influencing Quality of Life in Stroke Patients: Focus on Eating Habits
This study aimed to identify lifestyle factors about eating habits that may affect the quality of life (QOL) in elderly stroke patients. Methods: Fifty elderly patients with a first-ever stroke were enrolled. QOL was assessed by the Stroke and Aphasia QOL Scale-39-J. Lifestyle factors about eating habits were collected using questionnaires (Questions 1-17) for the intake of salt, calcium, magnesium, potassium, taurine, fiber, and protein, and the frequency of breakfast.

Changes in neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet ratios and their relationship with NIHSS after rtPA and/or thrombectomy in ischemic stroke
Ischemic stroke accounts for about 80% of cerebrovascular diseases and causes serious neurological deficits in patients.1 For maximum benefit from ischemic stroke treatment, intravenous (IV) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) should be given or thrombectomy be performed as soon as possible.2 The inflammatory reaction following acute cerebral ischemia enlarges the infarct area and aggravates neurological deficit. In ischemic should tissue injury that begins with decreased blood flow to the tissue and oxygen deficiency, reperfusion occurs with rtPA or thrombectomy treatment and the damaged tissues are re-oxygenated.

Influence of Dietary Salt Knowledge, Perceptions, and Beliefs on Consumption Choices after Stroke in Uganda
Previous research on Uganda's poststroke population revealed that their level of dietary salt knowledge did not lead to healthier consumption choices.

Small Vessel Disease and Dietary Salt Intake: Cross-Sectional Study and Systematic Review
Higher dietary salt intake increases the risk of stroke and may increase white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume. We hypothesized that a long-term higher salt intake may be associated with other features of small vessel disease (SVD).

Could salt intake directly affect the cerebral microvasculature in hypertension?
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a significant cause of stroke and dementia,1,2 as well as gait impairment and falls in the elderly.3 However, its pathophysiology is still poorly understood, and no specific treatment strategies exist.

Isosteviol Sodium Protects Neural Cells Against Hypoxia-Induced Apoptosis Through Inhibiting MAPK and NF- κB Pathways
Stevioside, isolated from the herb Stevia rebaudiana, has been widely used as a food sweetener all over the world. Isosteviol Sodium (STV-Na), an injectable formulation of isosteviol sodium salt, has been proved to possess much greater solubility and bioavailability and exhibit protective effects against cerebral ischemia injury in vivo by inhibiting neuron apoptosis. However, the underlying mechanisms of the neuroprotective effects STV-Na are still not completely known. In the present study, we investigated the effects of STV-Na on neuronal cell death caused by hypoxia in vitro and its underlying mechanisms.
