Pattern and risk factors of stroke in the young among stroke patients admitted in medical college hospital, Thiruvananthapuram
Conclusion: In all, 15% of total stroke occurred in young adults <50 years. The proportion of hemorrhagic stroke in young adults is higher than in elderly. Atrial fibrillation is identified as an independent risk factor of stroke in the young. Compared with stroke in elderly alcohol use, smoking, hyperlipidemia, and cardiac diseases, which are known risk factors, are higher in young stroke.

Long-term QALY-weights among spouses of dependent and independent midlife stroke survivors
ConclusionThe QALY-weights for spouses of dependent midlife stroke survivors were significantly reduced compared to spouses of independent midlife stroke survivors. This indicates that the inclusion of spouses ’ QALYs in evaluations of early treatment and rehabilitation efforts to reduce stroke patients’ dependency would capture more of the total effect in dyads of stroke survivors.

Pre-hospital stroke screening and notification of patients with reperfusion-eligible acute ischaemic stroke using modified Face Arm Speech Time test.
CONCLUSION: Implementation of pre-hospital stroke screening using criteria based on a modified version of the FAST test, together with pre-arrival notification, significantly shortened the door-to-reperfusion therapy time for patients with ischaemic stroke. Pre-hospital stroke screening during ambulance transport by EMS personnel who complete a 2-hour focused training session is effective for identifying reperfusion-eligible patients with stroke.

Stroke Literacy in Singapore: Data From a Survey of Public Housing Estate Residents.
Conclusion: In a sample of Singaporean adults residing in a public housing estate, we found evidence of poor stroke literacy, highlighting the need for comprehensive population-based education efforts. There is a role for opportunistic education among those at higher risk of stroke. PMID: 25341630 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Life satisfaction in spouses of stroke survivors and control subjects: A 7-year follow-up of participants in the Sahlgrenska Academy study on ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Seven years after stroke, spouses of stroke survivors reported lower life satisfaction compared with spouses of controls. Life satisfaction in stroke survivors' spouses was associated with spouses' age, sex, giving support, and the stroke survivors' level of global disability.

Circulating granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and functional outcome after ischemic stroke: an observational study
Discussion: Early post-stroke S-GCSF is increased in severe IS and associated with 3-month poor functional outcomes. The change in S-GCSF and the 3-month S-GCSF appear to be less-important, and S-GCSF likely reflects inflammation in large infarctions.PMID:34253146 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2021.1948766

Study Protocol: IMPETUS: Implementing a uniform stroke care pathway in medical colleges of India: IMPETUS Stroke
We present here a protocol to investigate the feasibility and fidelity of implementing a uniform stroke care pathway in medical colleges of India. Methods and Analysis: This is a multicentric, prospective, multiphase, mixed-method, quasi-experimental implementation study intended to examine the changes in a select set of stroke care-related indicators over time within the sites exposed to the same implementation strategy. We shall conduct process evaluation of the implementation process as well as evaluate the effect of the implementation strategy using the interrupted time series design. During implementation phase, educa...

Diagnostic Error in Stroke —Reasons and Proposed Solutions
AbstractPurpose of ReviewWe discuss the frequency of stroke misdiagnosis and identify subgroups of stroke at high risk for specific diagnostic errors. In addition, we review common reasons for misdiagnosis and propose solutions to decrease error.Recent FindingsAccording to a recent report by the National Academy of Medicine, most people in the USA are likely to experience a diagnostic error during their lifetimes. Nearly half of such errors result in serious disability and death. Stroke misdiagnosis is a major health care concern, with initial misdiagnosis estimated to occur in 9% of all stroke patients in the emergency se...

Intracranial atherosclerosis is the most common stroke subtype: Ten-year data from hyderabad stroke registry (India)
Conclusions: The study reveals a distinct pattern of ischemic stroke subtypes in the Indian context that has overlapping features of registries from West and East Asian countries. Both large artery and small vessel diseases are substantially represented with a predominance of intracranial atherosclerosis. The study results have significant implications for developing preventive and management strategies for stroke care and research in India.

Increased muscle tone and contracture late after ischemic stroke
ConclusionsOne ‐third of patients with ischemic stroke before 70 years of age showed increased muscle tone at 7‐year follow‐up. Half of them also had classical spasticity. Age, arm paresis, aphasia, and facial palsy at index stroke were predictors of increased muscle tone poststroke.

PON1 (Paraoxonase 1) Q192R gene polymorphism in ischemic stroke among North Indian population
Conclusion: PON1 Q192R gene polymorphism is not associated with an increased risk of acute ischemic stroke in the North Indian population. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed before PON1 Q192R gene polymorphism can be considered as a genetic risk factor for ischemic stroke.

Smartphone-based telestroke Vs & #8220;Stroke Physician & #8221; led acute stroke management (SMART INDIA): A protocol for a cluster-randomized trial
Conclusion: SMART INDIA assesses whether the low-cost Telestroke model is superior to the stroke physician model in achieving acute stroke care delivery. The results of this study can be utilized in national programs for stroke and can be a role model for stroke care delivery in low- and middle-Income countries. (CTRI/2021/11/038196)

Genetic variation at the IGF1 locus shows association to post-stroke outcome and to circulating IGF-I.
CONCLUSION: Variation in rs7136446 of the IGF1 gene associates with post-stroke outcome in relatively young IS patients. Also, rs7136446 associates with s-IGF-I in controls but not in IS, which indicates that IS perturbs a normal genetic impact on s-IGF-I levels. PMID: 24005314 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
