Quality of stroke guidelines in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Guidelines on stroke in low- and middle-income countries need to be developed in conjunction with a wider category of health-care providers and stakeholders, with a full spectrum of translatable, context-appropriate interventions.PMID:34475601 | PMC:PMC8381090 | DOI:10.2471/BLT.21.285845

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.

Oxidative Stress and Pathophysiology of Ischemic Stroke: Novel Therapeutic Opportunities.
Abstract Stroke is the second leading cause of death, after ischemic heart disease, and accounts for 9% of deaths worldwide. According to the World Health Organization [WHO], 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide each year. Of these, more than 6 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. Reactive oxygen species [ROS] have been implicated in brain injury after ischemic stroke. There is evidence that a rapid increase in the production of ROS immediately after acute ischemic stroke rapidly overwhelm antioxidant defences, causing further tissue damage. These ROS can damage cellular macromolecules ...

Psychiatric comorbidity and quality of life in patients with post-stroke emotional incontinence.
CONCLUSION: PSEI causes some aspects of psychiatric distress and negatively affects psychological and interpersonal quality of life. For patients with PSEI, special attention to psychiatric comorbidity and quality of life is needed, even in the acute stage of stroke. PMID: 24474987 [PubMed]

Worldwide Analysis of Radiology Access and Education for Stroke Care: View From Abroad From 14 Countries
The World Health Organization reports that stroke is among the leading causes of death in noncommunicable diseases worldwide despite advances in acute stroke care [1]. Early interventions in cerebrovascular accidents can prevent mortality and minimize debilitating effects of stroke. There have been major recent advancements in stroke care to intervene more quickly and effectively. We are entering a new era of stroke imaging-based treatment for late acute ischemic stroke. Recent neurointerventional trials, such as DAWN and DEFUSE 3, have transformed the way clinicians provide acute stroke care in the United States and provi...

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...

Imprecise eponyms in stroke medicine & #8211; A growing need for uniform terminologies/definitions across the globe
Conclusions: The most imprecise term that continues to be used is “CVA”. The precisely defined entity like “cerebrovascular disease,” which is a group of diseases, continues to be used inappropriately. All the terms are not defined uniformly across the globe, whereas most continue to use the World Health Organisation definition of stroke, defined in the 1970s. It is essential to condemn the use of imprecise terminologies and promote the use of recently defined precise terms “stroke” and “transient ischemic attack (TIA)”....

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) and the WHO Minimal Generic Set of Domains of Functioning and Health versus Conventional Instruments in subacute stroke.
CONCLUSION: Despite their brevity, both generic ICF-based tools seemed useful in finding disabilities for patient- and family-centred goal-setting and service-planning after subacute rehabilitation. PMID: 31402390 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Development and validation of the World Health Organization disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) Indonesian version in stroke survivors
CONCLUSIONS: The WHODAS 2.0 was adapted for use in Indonesia and showed good results for all six domains. Therefore, the Indonesian version of the WHODAS 2.0 can be applied to assess disability in Indonesian stroke survivors.Implications for rehabilitationThe WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) was developed as a single, generic instrument for assessing the health status and disability in different cultures and settings.In this study, we adapted and validated an Indonesian version of the WHODAS 2.0 for stroke survivors in Indonesia.The WHODAS 2.0 was adapted for use in Indonesia and showed good results for ...

Intravenous thrombolytic treatment and endovascular thrombectomy for ischaemic wake-up stroke
CONCLUSIONS: In selected patients with acute ischaemic wake-up stroke, both intravenous thrombolytic treatment and endovascular thrombectomy of large vessel occlusion improved functional outcome without increasing the risk of death. However, a possible increased risk of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage associated with thrombolytic treatment cannot be ruled out. The criteria used for selecting patients to treatment differed between the trials. All studies were relatively small, and six of the seven studies were terminated early. More studies are warranted in order to determine the optimal criteria for selecting patients...

Incidence rate of stroke in Peru
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of stroke is high in Peru. Ischemic cases are the most frequent and they disproportionately affect men. Our results suggest the need for a surveillance system to robustly quantify the incidence of these cases and understand their determinants.PMID:34932741 | DOI:10.17843/rpmesp.2021.383.7804
