The impact of lower extremity pain conditions on clinical variables and health-related quality of life in patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Since lower extremity pain conditions have a significant important influence on clinical variables and health-related quality of life in stroke survivors, early identification and appropriate treatment of the lower extremity pain conditions should be carried out in order to reduce the level of disability in stroke patients.

Cervical Arterial Dissections and Association With Cervical Manipulative Therapy: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Scientific Statement
Conclusions— CD is an important cause of ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged patients. CD is most prevalent in the upper cervical spine and can involve the internal carotid artery or vertebral artery. Although current biomechanical evidence is insufficient to establish the claim that CMT causes CD, clinical reports suggest that mechanical forces play a role in a considerable number of CDs and most population controlled studies have found an association between CMT and VAD stroke in young patients. Although the incidence of CMT-associated CD in patients who have previously received CMT is not well established, an...

Gait impairment in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia.
Authors: Parkkinen S, Ortega FJ, Kuptsova K, Huttunen J, Tarkka I, Jolkkonen J Abstract The availability of proper tests for gait evaluation following cerebral ischemia in rats has been limited. The automated, quantitative CatWalk system, which was initially designed to measure gait in models of spinal cord injury, neuropathic pain, and peripheral nerve injury, is said to be a useful tool for the study of motor impairment in stroke animals. Here we report our experiences of using CatWalk XT with rats subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), during their six-week followup. Large corticostriata...

Fatal Intracranial Hemorrhage after Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Associated with Cancer-related Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is associated with hypercoagulability in patients with inflammatory states such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. Cardiac vegetations caused by NBTE often lead to life-threatening systemic thromboembolism that most frequently affects the brain, spleen, and kidneys. A 54-year-old woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer suddenly developed back pain and left hemiparesis. Although intravenous alteplase (rt-PA) therapy was administered to treat hyperacute ischemic infarction detected by magnetic resonance imaging, intracranial hemorrhage occurred in the left hemisphere several hours late...

An Acute Ischemic Stroke Resulting from Aortic Dissection
A 39-year-old man with syncope and persistent dizziness was sent to stroke emergency. Patient's diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed acute ischemia in right cerebella and right occipital lobe, thus intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was given to him. However, the patient behaved rather restless with repeated complaint of back and thoracic pain. Further thorax computed tomography angiography confirmed that the underlying cause turned out to be aortic dissection.

Short-term stroke risk after emergency department treat-and-release headache visit
CONCLUSION: Approximately 1 in 700 patients discharged to home from the ED with a headache diagnosis had a stroke in the following month. Stroke risk was three to four times higher after an ED visit for headache compared to renal colic or back pain.PMID:36073865 | DOI:10.1111/head.14387

Importance of core stability for coordinated movement of the human body in stroke rehabilitation
DISCUSSION: Muscle tensions were generally lower in post-stroke patients compared to those with lower back pain syndrome but active abdominal tension muscles caused the increase of core stability and alter the trunk movement path, and improves gait and range of movement. Core stability training during stroke rehabilitation may help patients to achieve a higher level of coordinated movement.PMID:35040753 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2021.1950952

Prevalence of chronic non-specific low back pain among caregivers of stroke survivors in Kano, Nigeria and factors associated with it: A cross-sectional study
ConclusionInformal caregiving for stroke survivors may result in developing chronic non-specific LBP, especially among females, Civil servants, traders, complete caregivers and those with long duration of caregiving. This can add an additional burden on the family in terms of cost of care, result in reduced quality of caregiving and cause psychological stress. Thus, it is important the health of the caregivers of stroke survivors is considered during stroke rehabilitation.

Left Mandibular Pain in a Patient of Aortic Dissection Presenting with Acute Ischemic Stroke: a Case Report.
CONCLUSION: AoD should be carefully considered in patients with acute ischemic stroke presenting with mandibular pain. A high clinical alert and urgent CT angiography may help identify AoD. PMID: 26082417 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Catastrophic Intracranial Hemorrhages after IV tPA in a Patient with Insidious Onset of Fever and Back Pain
We present a patient who had a history of recent and persistent fever, an acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA), and severe, multifocal intracerebral hemorrhage as a complication of tPA treatment. Suspected infective endocarditis in a stroke patient should most likely be considered a contraindication to IV tPA.
