Hydration therapy: critical intervention in the ED to prevent stroke in evolution after acute ischemic stroke
We read the original article by Lin et al [1] with great enthusiasm. The authors have revealed the role of simple hydration therapy to prevent stroke in evolution (SIE) after acute ischemic stroke (AIS), which was done according to World Health Organization hydration protocol 2005 for diarrhea. They have concluded that providing hydration therapy to patients who present with a blood urea nitrogen/creatinine (BUN/Cr) ratio greater than or equal to 15 after ischemic stroke may help prevent the development of SIE, and such prevention is likely to improve prognosis given that SIE is a key indicator of poor prognosis after stroke.

PS025 La Carta De Santiago: Priorities for Stroke Prevention and Treatment in the Americas
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stroke claims 5.5 million lives globally each year. As the No. 2 killer worldwide, it is estimated that 17.3 million people die from cardiovascular disease including stroke each year, representing 30% of all global deaths. That equates to six people dying from stroke every 60 seconds and unfortunately the burden of stroke is disproportionately affecting low to middle income countries exceeding those of high income countries by 20%.[1] In some Latin American countries, ischemic heart disease and stroke are ranked as the No.

A Cohort Study of Anticholinergic Medication Burden and Incident Dementia and Stroke in Older Adults
ConclusionsHigh anticholinergic burden in initially healthy older people was associated with increased risk of incident dementia and ischemic stroke. A vascular effect may underlie this association. These findings highlight the importance of minimizing anticholinergic exposure in healthy older people.

The effect of body mass index on inpatient rehabilitation outcome after stroke in an East-Asian cohort: a prospective study
CONCLUSION: Findings from this study unequivocally support the benefits of acute inpatient stroke rehabilitation. Patients in the obese BMI range tended to normalise during rehabilitation. BMI, whether underweight, normal, or overweight was not correlated with discharge FIM.PMID:34717300 | DOI:10.11622/smedj.2021190

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 3582: Overview of Meta-Analyses: The Impact of Dietary Lifestyle on Stroke Risk
The objective of our work is to present an overview of meta-analyses that have investigated the impact of different foods and/or drinks in relationship with the risk of stroke events (ischemic/hemorrhagic). The papers to be included in the overview were found in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Clinicaltrials.gov, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library and were selected according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) flow chart. Quality assessment were made according to the AMSTAR 2 scale. This overview shows that all primary studies came from countries with high income levels. This evide...

MAMBO: Measuring ambulation, motor, and behavioral outcomes with post-stroke fluoxetine in Tanzania: Protocol of a phase II clinical trial
Sub-Saharan Africa has a high stroke incidence and post-stroke morbidity. An inexpensive pharmacological treatment for stroke recovery would be beneficial to patients in the region. Fluoxetine, currently on the World Health Organization Essential Medicines List, holds promise as a treatment for motor recovery after ischemic stroke, but its effectiveness is controversial and untested in this context in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The effect of occupational exposure to noise on ischaemic heart disease, stroke and hypertension: A systematic review and meta-analysis from the WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-Related Burden of Disease and Injury
CONCLUSIONS: For acquiring IHD, we judged the existing body of evidence from human data to provide "limited evidence of harmfulness"; a positive relationship is observed between exposure and outcome where chance, bias, and confounding cannot be ruled out with reasonable confidence. For all other included outcomes, the bodies of evidence were judged as "inadequate evidence of harmfulness". Producing estimates for the burden of CVD attributable to occupational exposure to noise appears to not be evidence-based at this time.PROTOCOL IDENTIFIER: 10.1016/j.envint.2018.09.040.PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42018092272.PMID:336...

COMIRESTROKE —A clinical study protocol for monitoring clinical effect and molecular biological readouts of COMprehensive Intensive REhabilitation program after STROKE: A four-arm parallel-group randomized double blinded controlled trial with a longitudinal design
In this study, four kinds of comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation with different management and content of physical therapy will be compared. Moreover, focus will be placed on the identification of novel biological molecules reflective of effective rehabilitation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts (>200 bps) of limited coding potential, which have recently been recognized as key factors in neuronal signaling pathways in ischemic stroke and as such, may provide a valuable readout of patient recovery and neuroprotection during therapeutic progression.Methods and analysisAdults after the first ischemic strok...
