Acupuncture treatment for ischaemic stroke in young adults: protocol for a randomised, sham-controlled clinical trial
Introduction Stroke in young adults is not uncommon. Although the overall incidence of stroke has been recently declining, the incidence of stroke in young adults is increasing. Traditional vascular risk factors are the main cause of young ischaemic stroke. Acupuncture has been shown to benefit stroke rehabilitation and ameliorate the risk factors for stroke. The aims of this study were to determine whether acupuncture treatment will be effective in improving the activities of daily living (ADL), motor function and quality of life (QOL) in patients of young ischaemic stroke, and in preventing stroke recurrence by controlli...

Research on the Cause of Death for Severe Stroke Patients
ConclusionsThe most common cause of death in stroke patients was damage to the central nervous system. Independent risk factors were brain herniation, multiple organ failure, dyslipidemia, community‐acquired lung infection, the use of mechanical ventilation, hypoproteinemia, a history of hypertension, and hospital‐acquired pneumonia. Clinicians should be aware of the presence and possible effects of these conditions. Early prevention, monitoring and intervention to modify controllable risk factors will improve patient prognosis. Relevance to clinical practiceClinicians should be aware of the multiple independent risk f...

Pharmacological, psychological and non-invasive brain stimulation interventions for preventing depression after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The available evidence suggests that pharmacological interventions and psychological therapy may prevent depression and improve mood after stroke. However, there is very low certainty in these conclusions because of the very low-certainty evidence. More trials are required before reliable recommendations can be made about the routine use of such treatments after stroke. PMID: 32390167 [PubMed - in process]

Stroke incidence and risk factors in Havana and Matanzas, Cuba
Conclusions Stroke incidence was similar to rates reported in developed countries and lower than that in low- to middle-income countries. Given that diabetes mellitus, heart disease, arterial hypertension, smoking, APOE4, etc. are associated with higher mortality rates, they will require separate analysis in a study of stroke risk factors.

Prevalence and impact of disability and sexual dysfunction on Health-Related Quality of Life of Nigerian stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: Although sexual dysfunction and global disability are prevalent among Nigerian SSv, their low HRQoL is determined by their disability and not by SF. Hence, effort at reducing global disability should be the focus of rehabilitation after stroke. Implication for Rehabilitation Global functional and sexual deficiencies abound in stroke survivors and they impact negatively on their overall quality of life. Sexual dysfunction correlates negatively on physical and psychosocial wellbeing of stroke survivors. Rehabilitation goal(s) should focus disability reduction and improvement of sexual functioning to enhance quali...

144: the physiological information role for stroke patients
Conclusion: Each patient should be individually assessed on his or her readiness to receive information. Healthcare professionals should take a patient's age, gender, educational status and communication support needs into account when assessing their need for information. Information should be offered to patients in a variety of formats, including easy access and repeated and re-offered at appropriate intervals.

Acupuncture for acute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This updated review indicates that apparently improved outcomes with acupuncture in acute stroke are confounded by the risk of bias related to use of open controls. Adverse events related to acupuncture were reported to be minor and usually did not result in stopping treatment. Future studies are needed to confirm or refute any effects of acupuncture in acute stroke. Trials should clearly report the method of randomization, concealment of allocation, and whether blinding of participants, personnel, and outcome assessors was achieved, while paying close attention to the effects of acupuncture on long-term funct...

Social Participation Determines Quality of Life Among Urban-Dwelling Older Adults With Stroke in a Developing Country
Conclusion: Social participation and cognition were strong determinants of QoL among urban-dwelling older adults with stroke. Social and recreational activities and cognitive rehabilitation should therefore be evaluated as potential strategies to improve the well-being of older adults affected by stroke.

Psychometric characteristics of the WHOQOL-SRPB Scale in a population of stroke survivors and caregivers
ConclusionsThe WHOQOL-SRPB scale is a valid, reliable instrument for measuring spirituality in stroke survivors and caregivers. Given the importance of spirituality for stroke survivors and caregivers, the WHOQOL-SRPB scale is recommended as an important tool for clinical practice and research.

Impact of post-stroke disability and disability-perception on health-related quality of life of stroke survivors: the moderating effect of disability-severity.
CONCLUSION: Significant disability exists among stroke survivors and impaired their HRQoL while disability-severity moderating the effect. More stroke survivors have positive attitude towards their disability and impact positively on their physical health. PMID: 32573376 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Interventions for reducing sedentary behaviour in people with stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Sedentary behaviour research in stroke seems important, yet the evidence is currently incomplete, and we found no evidence for beneficial effects. Current World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend reducing the amount of sedentary time in people with disabilities, in general. The evidence is currently not strong enough to guide practice on how best to reduce sedentariness specifically in people with stroke. More high-quality randomised trials are needed, particularly involving participants with mobility limitations. Trials should include longer-term interventions specifically targeted at reducing tim...

P-006 The 'hub-spoke telemedicine model in a large cohort of stroke patients
ConclusionTele-stroke networks have proven to be a pivotal development in the treatment of strokes, especially those that are remote. With the additional expertise and the shorter duration from onset to diagnosis to treatment, these networks have substantially improved patient care and decreased healthcare costs, avoiding unnecessary transfers from spoke hospitals to hub.Abstract P-006 Figure 1Abstract P-006 Figure 2Disclosures K.

Activities and participation after stroke: validity and reliability of the Turkish version of IMPACT-S questionnaire.
CONCLUSION: The Turkish version of the IMPACT-S is a valid and reliable questionnaire for evaluating activities and participation in patients with stroke. Implications for rehabilitation Patients with stroke experience difficulties across multiple participation domains, such as major life areas and community life. The screener part of the IMpact on Participation and ACTivities (IMPACT-S) questionnaire is the only measure that accurately reflects The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) sections and appears a promising outcome measure in rehabilitation research. The Turkish version of the...
