Stroke Characteristics as Predictors of New-onset Seizure in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: There was no recurrence of seizures in those who defaulted for AED and one patient had a seizure even on AED. Prophylactic AEDs in stroke patients based on stroke characteristics could not be ascertained, but the sample size was small. Knowing the fact that antiepileptics cause sedation and increase the chance of aspiration, continuing AEDs in patients who develop acute symptomatic seizures should be judged judiciously.PMID:37355969 | DOI:10.5005/japi-11001-0160

Transport use limitations and its association with social participation among patients with stroke living in rural India
CONCLUSIONS: Independent use of different modes of transport, particularly public transportation, reduced among rural Indian stroke survivors. These transport limitations are significantly associated with reduced social participation, highlighting the need for interventions to improve accessibility and fostering greater community engagement for stroke survivors in this population.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONLimited transportation access limits social participation for stroke survivors in rural India.Study results show a significant decrease in independent transport use among stroke survivors, affecting their social part...

Perioperative Stroke in Carotid Artery Stenting as a Surrogate Marker and Predictor for 30-day Postprocedural Mortality & #8211; A Pooled Analysis of 156,000 Patients with Carotid Artery Disease
Conclusions: Perioperative stroke drastically increases the risk of 30-day mortality. The occurrence of perioperative stroke exhibited high specificity but modest sensitivity in predicting 30-day mortality following CAS. This highlights the importance of neurophysiologic monitoring to detect intraoperative cerebral ischemia and perform timely interventions.

Authors: Kaur G, Samar N, Sharma J, Pareek KK, Veerwal R, Kajla P, Raghuvendra Abstract Introduction: Cerebrovascular disorders (CVD) are increasing in prevalence and incidence in Indian population. Global burden of disease study shows that of the 9.4 million deaths in India, 619,000 were due to stroke. A matter of concern is that in the last two decades there is a significant increase in prevalence rate of stroke. Aim: To find the demographic characteristics along with clinico-radiological profile and of patients presenting with stroke in a tertiary care hospital in Rajasthan. Methodology: This cross secti...

Prevalence of Stroke Cases in Warangal, Telangana Region, India: A Hospital-Based Case Study.
Authors: Susmitha K, Chandrasekhar V, Kiran G, Divya A, Rani GS, Sarangapani M Abstract Stroke is becoming a main cause of early death and disability in developing countries like India, and it is mostly enhanced by increased predominance of major risk factors. A detailed knowledge about the nature and magnitude of the stroke cases in this particular area is not only important for acute treatment but also it helps to prevent hospital admissions due to reoccurring stroke. The present study was conducted in the Department of Stroke at MGM Hospital, Warangal, India, to study the patterns of stroke admissions. All the c...

Association of APOE gene polymorphism with stroke patients from rural Eastern India
Conclusions: There is significant association of APOE gene polymorphism in stroke patients of ethnic Bengali population. The E4 allele increases significant risk for development of ischemic strokes, and it also plays nonsignificant increase in trend in hemorrhagic strokes.

The prevalence and risk factors of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with stroke in a tertiary care hospital in India
Conclusion: OSA is highly prevalent in the stroke population with subtle clinical symptoms. BMI was found to be an independent risk factor associated with moderate to severe OSA. A diagnostic sleep study is warranted in stroke patients, particularly with obesity.

Ayurvedic Treatment in the Rehabilitation of Ischemic Stroke Patients in India: A Randomized Controlled Trial (RESTORE) study protocol
Background: In patients with ischemic stroke, motor and sensory impairments are common and are associated with functional disability. Conventional physiotherapy (CP) is the primary modality of rehabilitation for post-stroke sensorimotor dysfunction. Ayurveda is a commonly practiced alternative system of medicine that offers unique rehabilitative measures for post-stroke recovery. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that Ayurvedic rehabilitative treatment (ART) is superior to similar duration CP in improving the sensorimotor recovery of patients with ischemic stroke at 90 days after enrollment. Design: AyuRvedic TrEatment in the R...

Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score can Predict Severity of Spasticity and Functional Outcome in Ischemic Stroke Survivors
Conclusion: ASPECTS at admission in patients with acute ischemic stroke is a good predictor of post-stroke spasticity and functional walking. Low ASPECTS is associated with higher spasticity and lower functional walking status on follow-up after stroke.
