Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations: Mood, Cognition and Fatigue Following Stroke practice guidelines, update 2015
Every year, approximately 62 000 people with stroke and transient ischemic attack are treated in Canadian hospitals, and the evidence suggests one‐third or more will experience vascular‐cognitive impairment, and/or intractable fatigue, either alone or in combination. The 2015 update of the Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations: Mood, Cognition and Fatigue Module guideline is a comprehensive summary of current evidence‐based recommendations for clinicians in a range of settings, who provide care to patients following stroke. The three consequences of stroke that are the focus of the this guideline (poststrok...

Stroke and the risk of gastrointestinal disorders: A Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionThis study provides proof of the presence of a brain–gut axis. Among the complications of ICH, PUD and GERD were more common and associated with the site of hemorrhage.

Temporomandibular joint dislocation in a post-stroke patient with dysphagia caused by gastroesophageal reflux-related vomiting.
This report describes a rare case of repeated, voluntary, TMJ in a 73-year-old woman with dysphagia and dysarthria. The cause of dislocation was suspected to be voluntary excessive mouth opening associated with gastroesophageal reflux-related vomiting and the desire to eject oral deposits resulting from hypoglossal and facial nerve paralyses. After an oral hygiene intervention, the frequency of TMJ dislocation decreased and finally disappeared. Thorough oral hygiene seemed to contribute to protection against TMJ dislocation. (J Oral Sci 58, 133-136, 2016). PMID: 27021550 [PubMed - in process]

Comparison of tube feeding in stroke patients: Nasogastric tube feeding versus oroesophageal tube feeding—A pilot study
Backgrounds: Patients with central nervous system injuries present with dysphagia and may require non-oral feeding methods, like percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, nasogastric (NG) tube, or oroesophageal (OE) tube. The prevalence of pneumonia in patients with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is significantly higher than that in patients without GER. We aimed to determine the most appropriate tube feeding with low risk of GER by comparing the results of 24-hour pH monitoring studies in patients who were administered 2 types of feeding: NG tube and OE tube. Methods: In this pilot study, 6 stroke patients underwent 24-hou...

Reflux esophagitis is associated with higher risks of acute stroke and transient ischemic attacks in patients hospitalized with atrial fibrillation: A nationwide inpatient sample analysis
Reflux esophagitis (RE) is a subset of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with endoscopic evidence of esophageal inflammation, which has been linked to an increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on the effect of RE on patient outcomes is limited. We sought to examine the potential association of RE with outcomes of patients with AF in a nationwide study. The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried to identify hospitalized adult patients with AF and RE between 2010 and 2014. Primary outcomes included inpatient mortality, length of stay (LOS), and total hospital charges. AF related ...

Inflammation May Be the Culprit Behind Our Deadliest Diseases
In the early days of my medical residency, I met a man whom we’ll call Jason. He arrived to our emergency room on a holiday, nonchalant yet amiable, and complained of mild chest pain. Jason was tall and trim, with a strong South Boston accent and fingertips still faintly stained from his last home-improvement project. He was only 45 years old, but he looked much younger. He didn’t smoke, barely drank alcohol, and his cholesterol levels had always been normal. No one in his family had a history of heart disease. He asked us if we could work quickly—he wanted to be home for dinner with his daughters. [time-...

Link between indigestion drugs and dementia 'inconclusive'
Conclusion This study found people taking PPIs had a 44% higher risk of developing dementia in a seven-year period compared with those not taking the drugs. However, it's not accurate to say this was down to the PPIs – the study couldn't prove this, and there are many possible explanations. For a start, the groups weren't very similar. Those taking PPIs had poorer health, and were more likely to be taking a number of medicines and have conditions linked to a higher risk of dementia, such as diabetes and heart disease. After taking these factors into account in the analysis, the link between PPIs and dementia reduc...

30-day Readmissions After Acute Exacerbations of COPD: How Relevant Are Comorbidities?
Conclusions: Cardiovascular diseases were highly prevalent and acute heart failure was an important cause of 30-day readmission among AECOPD patients. GERD may complicate AECOPD recovery and patients with previous stroke may be at higher risk of a fatal outcome.
