Objective fall risk detection in stroke survivors using wearable sensor technology: a feasibility study.
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors reported high acceptability of 48 hours of continuous PAMSys monitoring. The use of in-home wearable technology may prove useful in monitoring fall risk and gait in stroke survivors, potentially enhancing recovery. PMID: 26382725 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

2015 American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Focused Update of the 2013 Guidelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Regarding Endovascular Treatment: A Guideline for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Guideline
Conclusions— Certain endovascular procedures have been demonstrated to provide clinical benefit in selected patients with acute ischemic stroke. Systems of care should be organized to facilitate the delivery of this care.

Intravenous Thrombolysis for Stroke Recurring Within 3 Months From the Previous Event Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Patients currently treated with alteplase, despite a history of previous stroke ≤3 months, do not seem to achieve worse outcome than those with first-ever stroke. Although careful patient selection was probably of major importance, our findings provide reassurance that this group of patients may safely benefit from thrombolysis and should not be arbitrarily excluded as a whole. Further studies are needed to identify the shortest safe time lapse from the previous event to treatment with alteplase.

Examining Differences in Patterns of Sensory and Motor Recovery After Stroke With Robotics Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— These results highlight the need for more sensitive, targeted identification of sensory and motor deficits to optimize rehabilitation after stroke. Furthermore, the trajectory of recovery for some individuals with mild to moderate stroke may be much longer than previously considered.

Plasma D-Dimer and Incident Ischemic Stroke and Coronary Heart Disease: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— A higher basal plasma d-dimer concentration in the general population is a risk marker for ischemic stroke, especially cardioembolic stroke.

Predictors of Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack in Children Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In our cohort of children, stroke occurred after TIA at a rate similar to that seen in adults, but the risk factors for stroke after TIA in children are different.

Silent Brain Infarction and Risk of Future Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— SBI is present in 1 in 5 stroke-free older adults and is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of future stroke. Future studies of in-depth stroke risk evaluations and intensive prevention measures are warranted in patients with clinically unrecognized radiologically evident brain infarctions.

Genetic Associations With White Matter Hyperintensities Confer Risk of Lacunar Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Genetic variants that influence WMH are associated with an increased risk of lacunar stroke but not cardioembolic or large vessel stroke. Some genetic susceptibility factors seem to be shared across different radiological manifestations of small vessel disease.

Nocturnal Desaturation in the Stroke Unit Is Associated With Wake-Up Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Nocturnal desaturation was more frequently observed in patients admitted with WUS during the first night in the stroke unit. This suggests that nocturnal desaturation is a possible modifiable risk factor for the occurrence of WUS.

Hemoglobin Concentration and Risk of Incident Stroke in Community-Living Adults Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Lower and higher hemoglobin concentrations were associated with a higher risk of incident stroke in women. No such associations were found in men.

Ethnic Comparison of 30-Day Potentially Preventable Readmissions After Stroke in Hawaii Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In Hawaii, Chinese may have a higher risk of 30-day PPR after stroke compared with whites. However, this seems to be driven by the high number of repeated PPR within the Chinese ethnic group.

Short-Term Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and Risk of Ischemic Stroke Brief Report

Motivation, expectations, and usability of a driven gait orthosis in stroke patients and their therapists.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke user group patients seem quite motivated to train with the DGO and both patients and therapists reasonably believe that this training could improve gait functioning. Therapists are moderately satisfied with the usability of the DGO, but there is room for improvement with respect to usefulness and ease of use. PMID: 27996894 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
