Role of Oral Health in Dysphagic Stroke Recovery
AbstractPurposeOral health deteriorates easily in stroke patients, which may lead to aspiration pneumonia. The purpose of this review was to elucidate the importance of oral health in stroke recovery.Recent findings In the acute phase, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most serious respiratory complication and increases the mortality of stroke. Chemical cleaning with chlorhexidine along with mechanical oral care may decrease VAP risk. Maintaining oral health in stroke patients remains important in rehabilitation and nursing home settings. In the chronic phase, oral care performed by the individual is often inade...

Dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia in elderly hospitalization stroke patients: Risk factors, cerebral infarction area comparison.
CONCLUSION: In stroke inpatients over sixty years of age, it is necessary to distinguish the patients with multiple previous cerebral infarctions, high NIHSS score, masticatory muscle paralysis, abolition of gag reflex for early detection and rehabilitation of dysphagia.

Mapping acute lesion locations to physiological swallow impairments after stroke
This study aimed to assess the statistical relationship between acute stroke lesion locations and impairment of specific aspects of swallow physiology. We performed lesion symptom mapping with 68 retrospectively recruited, acute, first-ever ischemic stroke patients. Lesions were determined on diffusion weighted MRI scans. Post-stroke swallow physiology was determined using the Modified Barium Swallow Study Impairment Profile (MBSImP©™). The relationship between brain lesion location and 17 physiological aspects of swallowing were tested using voxel-based and region-based statistical associations corrected for multiple c...

A stimulus for eating. The use of neuromuscular transcutaneous electrical stimulation in patients affected by severe dysphagia after subacute stroke: A pilot randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Laryngopharyngeal neuromuscular electrical stimulation may be considered as an additional and effective treatment option for dysphagia after stroke. PMID: 30714980 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Assessment of the effects of dysphagia therapy in patients in the early post-stroke period: a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive therapy for dysphagia is effective and can reduce serious complications of swallowing disorders in clinical practice. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study could improve the clinical treatment of dysphagia. PMID: 31724147 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dynamic change of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios and infection in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Increased NLR around 36 h after stroke was a predictor of infection in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The increased NLR value was associated with a higher risk of 3-month death, which was independent of poststroke infection. PMID: 32268864 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Serum albumin as a potential predictor of pneumonia after acute ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Low serum albumin level may be an independent predictor of pneumonia in patients with AIS, especially in mild stroke. In fact, risk of pneumonia may vary inversely with albumin level. PMID: 32407279 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection: case series
ConclusionsBoth ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke can complicate the course of COVI-19 infection. In our series, stroke developed mostly in patients with severe pneumonia and multiorgan failure, liver enzymes and LDH were markedly increased in all cases, and the outcome was poor.

Comprehensive Respiratory Muscle Training Improves Pulmonary Function and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Acute Stroke Patients.
CONCLUSION: Four weeks of comprehensive RMT in patients with acute stroke resulted in significantly greater improvements in both pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength than SR. Therefore, RMT has the potential to reduce post-stroke respiratory complications. PMID: 33027217 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
