Conclusions: Based on a detailed analysis of the relationship between recovery patterns after stroke and clinical outcomes in the chronic stage of stroke, smoking cessation may improve the prognosis of patients after stroke.

Cardioembolic Stroke is Frequent in Late Recurrence After Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: The frequency of cardioembolic stroke did not decline as time after TIA passed. More than one quarter of AF patients had been asymptomatic before stroke, suggesting the need for repeated examinations to detect AF in patients with TIA of unknown etiology.

Predictors of Functional Outcome among Stroke Patients in Lima, Peru
Conclusions: Favorable outcome after stroke was independently associated with younger age, a lower NIHSS score, male gender, being divorced, and not being on SIS insurance. These findings suggest that additional study of worse functional outcomes in patients with SIS insurance be conducted and confirm the importance of risk adjustment for age, stroke severity (according to the NIHSS scale), and other socioeconomic factors in outcomes studies. Future studies should preferentially assess outcome at 30 days and 6 months to provide more reliable comparisons and allow additional study of Peruvian end-of-life decision-making and care.

Seasonal Variation and Trends in Stroke Hospitalizations and Mortality in a South American Community Hospital
Numerous studies have reported the presence of temporal variations in biological processes. Seasonal variation (SV) in stroke has been widely studied, but little data have been published on this phenomenon in the Southern Hemisphere, and there have been no studies reported from Argentina. The goals of the present study were to describe the SV of admissions and deaths for stroke and examine trends in stroke morbidity and mortality over a 3-year period in a community hospital in Argentina. Hospital discharge reports from the electronic database of vital statistics between 1999 and 2001 were examined retrospectively. Patients...

Risk of Metabolic Syndrome for Stroke Is Not Greater than the Sum of its Components: Thai Epidemiologic Stroke (TES) Study
This study aimed to assess the association of MetS with stroke, and to evaluate whether the risk of MetS is greater than the sum of its components. The Thai Epidemiologic Stroke (TES) study is a community-based cohort study with 19,997 participants, aged 45-80 years, recruited from the general population from 5 regions of Thailand. Baseline survey data were analyzed in cross-sectional analyses. MetS was defined according to criteria from the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III, the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (revised NCEP), and International Diab...

Acute Kidney Injury and Edaravone in Acute Ischemic Stroke: The Fukuoka Stroke Registry
Conclusions: Although AKI has a significant impact on the clinical outcome of hospital inpatients, edaravone has a protective effect against the development of AKI in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Acute Kidney Injury Is Associated with Increased Hospital Mortality after Stroke
Conclusions: AKI occurs frequently after stroke and is associated with increased hospital mortality. Additional studies are needed to establish if the association is causal and if measures to prevent AKI would result in decreased mortality.

Outcomes after Tissue Plasminogen Activator Administration under the Drip and Ship Paradigm May Differ According to the Regional Stroke Care System
The drip and ship paradigm for stroke patients enhances the rate of using intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IVT) in community hospitals. The safety and outcomes of patients treated with IVT for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) under the drip and ship paradigm were compared with patients directly treated at a comprehensive stroke center in the Busan metropolitan area of Korea. This was a retrospective study of patients with AIS treated with IVT between January 2009 and January 2012. Information on patients' baseline characteristics, neuroimaging, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), and outcome 90 days after usi...

Needs Analysis for Educating Community Pharmacists to Interface with Prehospital Stroke Chain of Survival
Conclusions: Community pharmacists surveyed were willing to interface with the prehospital phase of the Stroke Chain of Survival; nearly 75% of them required education to do so. Community pharmacies are potentially a venue for educating the public on the Stroke Chain of Survival. It may be necessary to approach community pharmacy corporate leadership to partner with such efforts.

The Effect of Season and Temperature Variation on Hospital Admissions for Incident Stroke Events in Maputo, Mozambique
Conclusions: Sudden declines in the minimum temperatures were associated with a higher incidence of stroke hospitalizations in Maputo. This provides important information for prediction of periods of higher hospital affluence because of stroke and to understand the mechanisms underlying the triggering of a stroke event.

Stroke Chameleons
Conclusions: Stroke chameleons may result in patients not receiving appropriate care. The largest proportions of chameleons were AMS, syncope, hypertensive emergency, systemic infection, and suspected ACS. Patients diagnosed with hypertensive emergency or AMS had an 8% and 7% chance of having an acute stroke. Physicians should consider stroke in patients with these diagnoses with a lower threshold to obtain neuroimaging with subsequent appropriate management.

Risk Factor and Etiology Analysis of Ischemic Stroke in Young Adult Patients
Conclusions: Traditional vascular risk factors are also very common in young adults with ischemic stroke, but such factors increase the susceptibility to stroke dependent to other causes as atherosclerosis and small-artery occlusion represent less than 20% of cases. Prognosis quoadvitam is good, being characterized by low mortality and recurrence rate.

Predictors of Stroke Recurrence in Patients with Recent Lacunar Stroke and Response to Interventions According to Risk Status: Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes Trial
Conclusions: In this large, carefully followed cohort of patients with recent lacunar stroke and aggressive blood pressure management, prior symptomatic lacunar ischemia, diabetes, black race, and male sex independently predicted ischemic stroke recurrence. The effects of blood pressure targets and dual antiplatelet therapy were similar across the spectrum of independent risk factors and recurrence risk.

Correlates of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: In this racially and ethnically diverse cohort of stroke and TIA survivors, stroke-induced PTSD was associated with younger age, recurrent strokes, greater disability, and comorbidities. PTSD was associated with a substantially increased physical, mental, and quality of life burden in this already vulnerable population. Having social support was protective, suggesting a potential target for intervention.
