Ideal Cardiovascular Health Metrics and the Risks of Ischemic and Intracerebral Hemorrhagic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— We observed a clear inverse gradient relationship between the number of ideal CVH metrics and the risk of stroke in a Chinese population, supporting the importance of ideal health behaviors and factors in stroke prevention.

The Association Between Stroke, Depression, and 5-Year Mortality Among Very Old People Brief Reports
Conclusions— A history of stroke was associated with increased mortality among very old people but only among those who were also depressed. Depression seemed to be underdiagnosed and undertreated.

Atrial Fibrillation, Stroke Risk, and Warfarin Therapy Revisited: A Population-Based Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— AF is more common than present guidelines suggest. The attributable risk of AF for ischemic stroke increases with age and is close to that of hypertension in individuals aged ≥80 years. Because a majority of patients with AF with increased risk for stroke had not received anticoagulation therapy, there is a large potential for improvement.

Pulmonary Embolism in Ischemic Stroke: Clinical Presentation, Risk Factors, and Outcome Stroke
Conclusions In this large cohort study, PE occurred in nearly 1% of AIS patients. PE was more common in patients with severe stroke, history of cancer, previous DVT/PE or acute DVT and associated with lower short- and long-term survival, greater disability, and longer length of stay.

Improved Detection of Silent Atrial Fibrillation Using 72-Hour Holter ECG in Patients With Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In unselected survivors of stroke or TIA, 72-hour ECG monitoring is feasible and improves the detection rate of silent paroxysmal AF.

Discharge Is a Critical Time to Influence 10-Year Use of Secondary Prevention Therapies for Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Prescription of medications at hospital discharge was the strongest predictor of ongoing medication use in survivors of stroke, even at 10 years after stroke. Ensuring that patients with stroke are discharged on optimal medications is likely to improve their long-term management, but further strategies might be required among those who are disadvantaged.

Aphasia and swallowing problems in subjects with incident stroke in rural northern Tanzania: a case-control study.
Conclusions: This is the first attempt to describe aphasia incidence in a sub-Saharan African language. Further work on the psychometric properties of the screening instrument is warranted. Given that it delivers a relatively coarse indication of language disturbance, it is likely that incidence of aphasia in the current cohort is underestimated. PMID: 24521840 [PubMed - in process]

National Women's Knowledge of Stroke Warning Signs, Overall and by Race/Ethnic Group Brief Reports
Conclusions— Knowledge of stroke warning signs was low among a nationally representative sample of women, especially among Hispanics. In contrast, knowledge to call 9-1-1 when experiencing signs of stroke was high.

Activity of thigh muscles during static and dynamic stances in stroke patients: a pilot case-control study.
Conclusions: The vastus medialis, rectus femoris, and biceps femoris muscles on the affected side and the rectus femoris muscle on the unaffected side of stroke patients are involved in the static balance deficits, while the biceps femoris on the affected side influences dynamic balance control.

Feasibility and outcomes of a community-based, pedometer-monitored walking program in chronic stroke: a pilot study.
Conclusions: This study represents a preliminary step in determining the effectiveness of pedometer-based interventions for enhancing physical activity in persons with chronic stroke. Further study is warranted. PMID: 24710970 [PubMed - in process]

Impact of BDNF -196 g≯a and BDNF -270 c≯t polymorphisms on stroke rehabilitation outcome: sex and age differences.
Conclusions:BDNF -196 G≯A polymorphism might affect functional outcome of stroke rehabilitation, but this hypothesis needs further verification. PMID: 24722042 [PubMed - in process]

Task matters: influence of different cognitive tasks on cognitive-motor interference during dual-task walking in chronic stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: CMI pattern in chronic stroke survivors differs significantly with type of cognitive task. Gradual cognitive decline with chronicity of condition might have a role in altering the CMI pattern in this population. Future studies of DT interventions for stroke survivors might benefit from incorporating working memory tasks in their protocols. PMID: 25150667 [PubMed - in process]

P-Wave Morphology and the Risk of Incident Ischemic Stroke in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Brief Reports
Conclusions— We found an association between baseline P-wave morphology and incident stroke even after accounting for AF. This association may reflect an atrial cardiopathy that leads to stroke in the absence of AF.

Social Network, Social Support, and Risk of Incident Stroke: Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In this sample of US community-dwelling men and women, having a small social network was associated with excess risk of incident stroke. As with other cardiovascular conditions, having a small social network may be associated with a modestly increased risk of incident stroke.
