Resistive Training Improves Insulin Sensitivity after Stroke
This study determined the effects of unilateral resistive training (RT) of both the paretic and nonparetic legs on insulin sensitivity in stroke survivors.Methods: We studied 10 participants (mean age 65 ± 2 years; mean body mass index 27 ± 4 kg/m2) with hemiparetic gait after remote (>6 months) ischemic stroke. All subjects underwent 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) strength testing, 9 had an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and 7 completed a 2-hour hyperglycemic clamp (with glucose elevation targeted at 98 mg/dL above baseline fasting level) before and after 12 weeks (3×/week) of progressive, high repetition, high-i...

Effect of Low-Intensity Ergometer Aerobic Training on Glucose Tolerance in Severely Impaired Nondiabetic Stroke Patients
Objective: To investigate whether low-intensity ergometer aerobic training has beneficial effect on glucose tolerance in nondiabetic patients with severely impaired stroke.Methods: Fifty-four severely impaired stroke survivors were recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group. They have no diabetes history with fasting plasma glucose less than 7 mmol/L. Both groups participated in a 6-week rehabilitation training program with low-intensity ergometer aerobic training added only in the experimental group 3 times per week. Primary outcome variables were fasting glucose, fasting insulin, 2-hour ...

Resistive Training and Molecular Regulators of Vascular-Metabolic Risk in Chronic Stroke
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)- γ coactivator (PGC-1α) gene and Sirtuin-1 (SIRT-1) respond to physiological stimuli and regulate insulin resistance. Inflammatory markers tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and the soluble forms of intracellular adhesion molecule (sICAM-1) and vas cular CAM-1 (sVCAM-1) are associated with increased risk of diabetes and coronary heart disease. Resistive training (RT) reduces hyperinsulinemia and improves insulin action in chronic stroke.

Mediterranean diet cuts heart and stroke risk
Conclusion The results of this randomised controlled trial appear to confirm previous studies that there are benefits to following a Mediterranean diet. The trial has many strengths, including its large size, long period of follow-up, thorough assessment of medical outcomes (including reviewing medical records and having contact with the family doctor), and careful attempts to assess whether the diets were being followed. As this is a randomised controlled trial, it should also balance out other health and lifestyle differences between the groups that may influence cardiovascular risk. This avoids the limitations of m...

Physical fitness training in Subacute Stroke (PHYS-STROKE) - study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
DiscussionThe goal of this endpoint-blinded, phase III randomised controlled trial is to provide evidence to guide post-stroke physical fitness-based rehabilitation programmes, and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this intervention.Trial registration: Registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with the Identifier NCT01953549.

European Academy of Neurology and European Stroke Organization consensus statement and practical guidance for pre ‐hospital management of stroke
ConclusionsThese guidelines inform on the contemporary approach to patients with suspected stroke in the pre‐hospital setting. Further studies, preferably randomized controlled trials, are required to examine the impact of particular interventions on quality parameters and outcome.

Barriers and Enablers to Implementing Clinical Treatment Protocols for Fever, Hyperglycaemia, and Swallowing Dysfunction in the Quality in Acute Stroke Care (QASC) Project—A Mixed Methods Study
ABSTRACT BackgroundThe Quality in Acute Stroke Care (QASC) trial evaluated systematic implementation of clinical treatment protocols to manage fever, sugar, and swallow (FeSS protocols) in acute stroke care. This cluster‐randomised controlled trial was conducted in 19 stroke units in Australia. AimTo describe perceived barriers and enablers preimplementation to the introduction of the FeSS protocols and, postimplementation, to determine which of these barriers eventuated as actual barriers. MethodsPreimplementation: Workshops were held at the intervention stroke units (n = 10). The first workshop involved senior clinicia...

2-1-2 stroke microsurgical thrombectomy technique as a tertiary/salvage treatment option
CONCLUSIONS: 2-1-2 MST technique can be rapidly and efficaciously performed in a systemized manner offering a tertiary or salvage technique for acute stroke treatment. Specific microsurgical training is mandatory to accomplish this treatment and larger studies are necessary to confirm our hypothesis.PMID:35147401 | DOI:10.23736/S0390-5616.21.05480-1
