Prolonged impairment of deglutition in supratentorial ischaemic stroke: the predictive value of Parramatta Hospitals' Assessment of Dysphagia.
CONCLUSIONS: In a selected population at risk of aspiration, the PHAD with a threshold of 70 assessed in the second week after stroke onset may be a valuable tool to predict prolonged impairment of deglutition for another 4 weeks and to guide the decision about switching from NG to PEG tube feeding after supratentorial ischaemic stroke.

Complex interplay of multiple biological systems that contribute to post-stroke infections
Publication date: May 2018Source: Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, Volume 70Author(s): Raymond Shim, Connie H.Y. WongAbstractStroke is a leading contributor of death and disability around the world. Despite its recognised debilitating neurological deficits, a devastating clinical complication of surviving stroke patients that needs more attention is infection. Up to half of the patients develop infections after stroke, and a high proportion of them will die as a direct consequence. Major clinical trials that examined preventive antibiotic therapy in stroke patients have demonstrated this method of prevention is not effective...

Patellar tendon vibration reduces the increased facilitation from quadriceps to soleus in post-stroke hemiparetic individuals
Conclusions Patellar tendon vibration can reduce the facilitation between knee and ankle extensors, which suggests effective presynaptic inhibition but decreased post-activation depression in the lower limb of people after chronic hemiparetic stroke. Further studies are warranted to determine whether such vibration could be used to reduce the abnormal extension synergy of knee and ankle extensors in people after hemiparetic stroke.

Ischemic stroke induced myocardial dysfunction associated with nitro-oxidative stress and sympathetic overactivity
Publication date: April 2018Source: Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases Supplements, Volume 10, Issue 2Author(s): A. Méloux, E. Rigal, I. Porcherot, B. Mouhat, Y. Cottin, L. Rochette, Y. Bejot, C. Vergely-VandriesseComplex interactions exist between cerebro- and cardiovascular diseases: while cardiac diseases are risk factors for cerebral ischemia, ischemic stroke may reciprocally induce heart dysfunctions.The aim of this study was to evaluate how prior cerebrovascular lesions may affect myocardial function and which signals are involved in these processes.Cerebral embolization was performed in adult Wistar male rats by t...

Cough reflex testing in acute stroke: A survey of current UK service provision and speech and language therapist perceptions.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: This survey gives valuable insight into the current practice and perceptions of SLTs in the UK working in acute stroke settings in relation to CRT. It highlights discrepancies between reported approaches and recommendations from existing guidelines and validation studies. The variation in responses indicates a need to develop a consensus statement and further research to guide practice. What this study adds What is already known on the subject CRT is gaining popularity as a screening tool for the clinical identification of SA with acute stroke patients. However, there is a lack of consensus ...

Screening for silent aspiration in hyperacute stroke: A feasibility study of clinical swallowing examination and cough reflex testing
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: CRT, CSE and FEES are feasible in 58% of hyperacute stroke patients in this setting. FEES anxiety is the main recruitment barrier and is not always well tolerated. Results support further work to establish optimum methods and differential sensitivity/specificity of CRT and CSE in hyperacute stroke for SA identification.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject SA significantly increases the risk of pneumonia in the early days post-stroke. CSEs are unreliable for identification of SA risk in this population. CRT is gaining popularity as a potential tool to identify stroke patien...

Values of vanillylmandelic acid and homovanillic acid in the urine as potential prognostic biomarkers in ischaemic stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: Determining the values of these compounds in the urine is an easily available prognostic tool for the ischaemic stroke outcome, while also influencing potential therapeutic changes. PMID: 28675313 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardiac autonomic dynamics during sleep are lost in patients with TIA and stroke.
Abstract Ischaemic stroke is accompanied by important alterations of cardiac autonomic control, which have an impact on stroke outcome. In sleep, cardiac autonomic control oscillates with a predominant sympathetic modulation during REM sleep. We aimed to assess cardiac autonomic control in different sleep stages in patients with ischaemic stroke. Forty-five patients enrolled in the prospective, multicentre SAS-CARE study but without significant sleep-disordered breathing (apnea-hypopnea index < 15/hr) and without atrial fibrillation were included in this analysis. The mean age was 56 years, 68% were male, 76...
