Mobile health as a viable strategy to enhance stroke risk factor control: A systematic review and meta-analysis
With the rapid growth worldwide in cell-phone use, Internet connectivity, and digital health technology, mobile health (mHealth) technology may offer a promising approach to bridge evidence-treatment gaps in stroke prevention. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth for stroke risk factor control through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Intracerebral haemorrhage risk in microbleed-positive ischaemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation: Preliminary meta-analysis of cohorts and anticoagulation decision schema
Whether ischaemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) on MRI can be safely anticoagulated is a hotly debated topic. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published aggregate data, to investigate the risk of subsequent intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) based on CMBs presence in this stroke population, generally considered for oral anticoagulation. We also suggest a decision-making schema for anticoagulation use in this setting.

Association between leukoaraiosis and hemorrhagic transformation after cardioembolic stroke due to atrial fibrillation and/or rheumatic heart disease
Cardioembolic stroke due to atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or rheumatic heart disease (RHD) often involves hemorrhagic transformation (HT), and we examined whether leukoaraiosis (LA) was associated with HT in these cases. We prospectively enrolled 251 patients who were admitted to two hospitals within one month of experiencing cardioembolic stroke due to AF/RHD. LA severity was assessed using three visual rating scales. HT was identified in 99 patients (39.4%) based on baseline computed tomography (CT) and post-admission magnetic resonance imaging or second CT.

Interleukin –6 (IL-6) rs1800796 and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKN2A/CDKN2B) rs2383207 are associated with ischemic stroke in indigenous West African Men
Inherited genetic variations offer a possible explanation for the observed peculiarities of stroke in sub - Saharan African populations. Interleukin –6 polymorphisms have been previously associated with ischemic stroke in some non-African populations.

White matter lesions and cognitive impairment may be related to recovery from unilateral spatial neglect after stroke
Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is frequently found in ischemic stroke patients. Because USN is related to poor functional outcomes, evaluating recovery from USN after stroke is critical.

Post-stroke depression in Ghana: Characteristics and correlates
Poststroke depression (PSD) is prevalent and is an important determinant of functional recovery, quality of life and mortality after stroke. Scanty data on the nature of PSD among stroke survivors in sub-Saharan Africa prompted this study.

Is spasticity always the same? An observational study comparing the features of spastic equinus foot in patients with chronic stroke and multiple sclerosis
Spasticity is common in stroke and multiple sclerosis. To treat spasticity we have a wide range of interventions, whose application may depend not only on the severity of spasticity but also on its etiology. Consequently, a better understanding of muscle spasticity in different neurological diseases may inform clinicians as to the more appropriate therapeutic approach. Our aim was to compare the clinical and ultrasonographic features of spastic equinus in patients with chronic stroke and multiple sclerosis.

Cardioembolic stroke and cardiomyopathy: Rhythm is the key
Cardiomyopathy (CM) predisposes patients to cardioembolism. Stroke and peripheral embolization occur at an annual incidence rate of 0.8% in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) [1]. Embolic events have an incidence rate ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 per 100 patient-years in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) [2]. However, few studies have described the clinical profile of ischemic stroke associated with CM.

Potential role of tele-rehabilitation to address barriers to implementation of physical therapy among West African stroke survivors: A cross-sectional survey
The greatest burden from stroke-related disability is borne by Low-and-Middle Income countries (LMICs) where access to rehabilitation after stroke is severely challenged. Tele-rehabilitation could be a viable avenue to address unmet rehabilitation needs in LMICs.

Advancing stroke genomic research in the age of Trans-Omics big data science: Emerging priorities and opportunities
We systematically reviewed the genetic variants associated with stroke in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and examined the emerging priorities and opportunities for rapidly advancing stroke research in the era of Trans-Omics science.

The effect of metabolic syndrome and obesity on outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with systemic thrombolysis
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke; while central obesity has controversial effects on ischemic stroke. We investigated effects of MetS and obesity on clinical courses and outcomes of patients treated with intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (iv rt-PA). 319 patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis were included to our study. Metabolic syndrome was determined if ≥3 of following criteria are present: elevated waist circumference; elevated triglycerides; reduced high density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C); elevated blood pressure; elevated fasting glucose.

Common and specific risk factors for ischemic stroke in elderly: Differences based on type of ischemic stroke and aging; methodological issues
We were interested to read the study by Fukui and colleagues that was published in the Journal of Neurological Sciences in 2017 [1]. In a cross-sectional study, Fukui and colleagues purposed to determine whether risk factors for patients with ischemic stroke differed from the control group and among the subtypes. They concluded that the risk factors were quite different among the subtypes and aging. It is obvious that the valuable investigation has been conducted but some methodological issue needs to be considered.

ZIKA vasculitis: A new cause of stroke in children?
Viral infectious vasculitis is a cause of stroke in children. Zika virus infection is often asymptomatic. Neurological complications have however been reported: Guillain-Barr é, ADEM, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, microcephaly in the fetus of infected mothers. We discuss the case of a child presenting acute infection with ZIKV that was associated with a stroke. A 10-months-old boy without medical history presented after 2days of fever and cutaneous rash, conjunctivitis on day 5, a right hemiparesis on day 6.

Neural coupling between contralesional motor and frontoparietal networks correlates with motor ability in individuals with chronic stroke
Movement is traditionally viewed as a process that involves motor brain regions. However, movement also implicates non-motor regions such as prefrontal and parietal cortex, regions whose integrity may thus be important for motor recovery after stroke. Importantly, focal brain damage can affect neural functioning within and between distinct brain networks implicated in the damage. The aim of this study is to investigate how resting state connectivity (rs-connectivity) within and between motor and frontoparietal networks are affected post-stroke in correlation with motor outcome.
