Damage to the Left Precentral Gyrus Is Associated With Apraxia of Speech in Acute Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Damage to the left precentral gyrus is associated with AOS in acute to subacute stroke patients, suggesting a role of this brain region in motor speech production.

Patterns of Poststroke Brain Damage That Predict Speech Production Errors in Apraxia of Speech and Aphasia Dissociate Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— AOS likely occurs in conjunction with aphasia because of the proximity of the brain areas supporting speech and language, but the neurobiological substrate for each disorder differs.

Stroke Caused by Lung Cancer Invading the Left Atrium
We describe a 59-year-old stroke patient presented with sudden onset left side weakness and a speech disorder due to a major acute cerebral infarction in the area of the right middle cerebral artery, right posterior cerebral artery, and small infarctions in the area of the left middle and left posterior cerebral artery. For the previous month, the patient had been feeling weak and had no appetite. The patient had not been previously seriously ill. A chest x-ray showed a large mass in the upper zone of the right lung.

Stroke and COVID19: not only a large-vessel disease
Recent evidence has underlined the association between large-vessel stroke and COVID-19, probably due to a proinflammatory and prothrombotic microenvironment induced by SARS-CoV-2. Here, we report the case of a young fit woman affected by COVID-19 without any flu-like symptom, who suffered from speech disorder and left hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance evidenced two small acute brain infarctions in right perirolandic cortex without signs of previous ischemic lesions and hemorrhagic infarction.

Differences in the knowledge and compliance with secondary prevention of stroke between transient ischaemic attack patients with and without subsequent stroke
ConclusionsThe transient ischaemic attack patients with subsequent stroke exhibit a higher identification rate of most of the warning signs of stroke and a better compliance with antiplatelet agents and statins therapy of stroke compared with those without subsequent stroke. Thus, we suggest that transient ischaemic attack patients should receive additional health education to increase their awareness of the harms of stroke. Relevance to clinical practiceClinicians should be aware of conducting different health education to patients with transient ischaemic attack and stroke. Also, it is important to give health education ...

Ten-Year Evaluation of the TOYOTA Prehospital Stroke Scale for Tissue Plasminogen Activator Intravenous Therapy in the Real World
Conclusions: The TOPSPIN is a simple prehospital stroke scale that includes an assessment of atrial fibrillation. Detection of atrial fibrillation in the prehospital stage may point to a higher probability of ischemic stroke.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;46:184 –192

Stroke Awareness In Outpatients. (P2.302)
CONCLUSIONS: General knowledge about CVRF is still insufficient in the outpatient population, even when assessed in the cardiology or neurology clinic. We believe that increased knowledge about stroke in outpatients, compared to inpatients, is due to higher educational level and a higher amount of family members with a history of stroke.

Does Speech Disorder (Aphasia) Affect Respiratory Muscle Strength in Stroke?
Conclusion: It is well known that respiratory muscle strength decrease in individuals after stroke. In addition, it seems that respiratory muscle strength of aphasic patients is significantly reduced compare to non-aphasic stroke patients. However, expiratory muscle strength is similar.

Pervasiveness of speech-language disorders and fatigue in stroke: A systematic scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Persons with speech-language disorders are underrepresented in post-stroke fatigue research and very few studies have examined the relationship between post-stroke fatigue and speech-language disorders, limiting conclusions that can be drawn. This is problematic because medical professionals relying on this evidence to guide clinical practice are likely to be treating individuals with co-occurring fatigue and speech-language disorders and the current research does not provide enough information about the potential impact of fatigue on speech-language disorders or vice versa. To bridge this gap, we suggest meth...
