Circadian preference and stroke characteristics: A descriptive study
This study set out to explore this relationship by examining whether there was an association between circadian preference and stroke characteristics in a sample of stroke outpatients, considering the time of stroke onset, the topography of the stroke and the resulting disability. We also examined whether sleep complaints (snoring, insomnia, sleep apnea) were associated with circadian preferences (i.e., morning-, evening-, and intermediate-types). We also compared circadian preferences and comorbidities in this sample, matched by age and sex, with those of healthy controls who took part in an epidemiological study (EPISONO...

Sleep duration and history of stroke among adults from the USA
Summary Although short sleep duration is related to chronic conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity, the association with stroke is less well known. Using 2006–2011 National Health Interview Surveys, we assessed the association between self‐reported duration of sleep and prevalence of stroke stratifying by age and sex. Of the 154 599 participants aged 18 years or older, 29.2%, 61.8% and 9.0% reported they sleep ≤6, 7–8 and ≥9 h per day, respectively. Corresponding age‐standardized prevalence of stroke were 2.78%, 1.99% and 5.21% (P < 0.001). Logistic regression models showed a higher prev...

Topographic sleep EEG changes in the acute and chronic stage of hemispheric stroke
Summary After stroke, the injured brain undergoes extensive reorganization and reconnection. Sleep may play a role in synaptic plasticity underlying stroke recovery. To test this hypothesis, we investigated topographic sleep electroencephalographic characteristics, as a measure of brain reorganization, in the acute and chronic stages after hemispheric stroke. We studied eight patients with unilateral stroke in the supply territory of the middle cerebral artery and eight matched controls. All subjects underwent a detailed clinical examination including assessment of stroke severity, sleep habits and disturbances, anxiety an...

Sleep Apnea and Stroke
Publication date: Available online 14 March 2015 Source:Canadian Journal of Cardiology Author(s): Owen D. Lyons , Clodagh M. Ryan Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and often has devastating consequences for affected individuals in terms of chronic disability. Traditional risk factors such as age, male sex, ethnicity, hypertension and atrial fibrillation explain 60-80% of the risk of stroke. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in the post-stroke population and its emerging role as a potential modifiable risk factor for stroke has been recognised in the most recent American Heart Associati...

Clinical Manifestation of Depression after Stroke: Is It Different from Depression in Other Patient Populations?
Conclusions The findings suggest that depression after stroke is not a different type of depression. This finding indicates that all depressive symptoms should be evaluated in stroke patients, including somatic symptoms.

Author Response: Role Of Sleep-Disordered Breathing And Sleep-Wake Disturbances For Stroke And Stroke Recovery
Drs. Fuchs and Strasser raise the question of how the increased stroke incidence and disturbed stroke recovery that are observed both in patients with sleep-disordered breathing and sleep-wake disturbances are mediated. Increased stroke incidence may be due to excessive sympathetic activation that results in arterial hypertension, inflammation, and atherosclerosis.1 Conversely, disturbed stroke recovery and neuroplasticity might indeed result from disturbed tryptophan metabolism, as proposed by Drs. Fuchs and Strasser. Reduced formation of serotonin from tryptophan is well-known from inflammation-associated depression, whe...

Training in positivity for stroke? A qualitative study of acceptability of use of Positive Mental Training (PosMT) as a tool to assist stroke survivors with post-stroke psychological problems and in coping with rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: The PosMT shows potential as a tool for coping with rehabilitation and overcoming post-stroke psychological problems including anxiety and depression. PMID: 28106572 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Increased Risk of Ischemic Stroke during Sleep in Apneic Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Preexisting symptoms suggestive of OSA were associated with the occurrence of WUS. This suggests that OSA contributes to ischemic stroke not only as a predisposing risk factor but also as a triggering factor. Treating OSA might therefore be beneficial in preventing stroke, particularly that occurring during sleep. PMID: 29504291 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Narrative Review of Persistent Post-Stroke Headache - A New Entry in the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd Edition.
CONCLUSION: Recognition of persistent post-stroke headache as a separate clinical entity from acute stroke-attributed headache is the first step toward better defining its natural history and most effective treatment strategies. PMID: 30152015 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Acute stroke and TIA patients have specific polygraphic features of obstructive sleep apnea.
CONCLUSION: Stroke patients had different characteristics of respiratory events, i.e., their polygraphic phenotype of OSA differs compared to matched reference patients. The observed differences in polygraphic features might indicate that stroke and TIA patients suffer from OSA phenotype recently associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, optimal diagnostics and treatment require routine OSA screening in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease, even without previous suspicion of OSA.

Relationship between SDB and short ‐term outcome in Finnish ischemic stroke patients
ConclusionIschemic stroke patients with OSA have higher disability, higher need of rehabilitation, and longer hospitalization length. Prescreening tools for recognizing these stroke patients in acute phase could be valuable. That could result in earlier initiation of treatment and might prevent worse recovery from stroke.

The association between sleep duration, napping, and stroke stratified by self-health status among Chinese people over 65  years old from the China health and retirement longitudinal study.
CONCLUSIONS: Both short and long sleep duration were significantly associated with stroke among individuals who reported poor health. Stroke prevention should be focused on elderly individuals who believe that they have health problems. PMID: 33067754 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The validity of proxy responses on patient-reported outcome measures: Are proxies a reliable alternative to stroke patients ’ self-report?
ConclusionsBoth patient- and proxy-reported PROMs demonstrated strong validity. Only patient-reported PROMs were responsive to change, and proxies had worse validity for patients  ≤ 3 months from stroke but better validity for patients >  3 months from stroke. These findings justify the utilization of proxy responses in stroke patients >  3 months from stroke.

Factors associated with stroke among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in China: a propensity score matched study
ConclusionsThe prevalence of stroke was high among T2DM in China. It is of great significance to strengthen comprehensive management of health-related behaviors including smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, effective exercise, 6 –8 h of sleep duration, keeping normal weight and the prevention of hypertension and dyslipidemia to have sustained beneficial effects on improvements of stroke risk factors.
