Caring for stroke survivors: experiences of family caregivers in Sri Lanka - a qualitative study.
CONCLUSIONS: The phenomenon of family caregivers providing informal care for stroke survivors was explicated as compassionate care, notwithstanding numerous difficulties. The findings motivate further research and strategies to minimize family caregivers' burden and facilitate the positive aspects of caregiving to promote the health and well-being of both stroke survivors and their families.

The post-stroke upper limb improvement effort survey (IMPETUS): asurvey of individuals with chronic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants desired more arm/hand strength, function, and recovery that they perceived they had achieved. Impairment - level factors posed more barriers to arm recovery than socioeconomic ones. Most participants were interested in using arm/hand training devices; the most important device characteristic is functional gain. PMID: 31386604 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Development and validation of a quality of relationship intervention for stroke survivor-family caregiver dyads.
Conclusions: This study extends the limited body of research about dyadic interventions after stroke. The next steps in this line of research include feasibility testing the intervention and evaluating its efficacy in a larger trial. PMID: 31782683 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cognition assessments to predict inpatient falls in a subacute stroke rehabilitation setting.
Conclusions: Cognition assessments, i.e., one FIM item, one RAVLT item, or a one-minute verbal fluency test are significant falls predictors. PMID: 32431244 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Topographical data analysis to identify high-density clusters in stroke patients undergoing post-acute rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that in addition to functional status on admission, stroke risk factors are associated with recovery outcomes. Future studies using TDA to analyze omic data, including clinical, biological, and sociodemographic factors, will accelerate the development of personalized treatment plans in post-acute stroke rehabilitation patients.

High Blood Pressure, Physical and Cognitive Function, and Risk of Stroke in the Oldest Old: The Leiden 85-Plus Study Original Contributions
Conclusions— Our findings suggest that impaired physical and cognitive function moderates the association between blood pressure and stroke.

Early Insulin Glycemic Control Combined With tPA Thrombolysis Reduces Acute Brain Tissue Damages in a Focal Embolic Stroke Model of Diabetic Rats Brief Reports
Conclusions— Early insulin glycemic control may be beneficial in combination with tPA thrombolysis for ischemic stroke with diabetes mellitus or poststroke hyperglycemia.

United States version of the stroke driver screening assessment: a pilot study.
Conclusion: The US version of the SDSA battery has the potential to be a good predictor of driving performance of mildly impaired stroke survivors. Larger studies are needed to further establish its predictive accuracy. PMID: 23340075 [PubMed - in process]

Association of Parental Stroke With Brain Injury and Cognitive Measures in Offspring: The Framingham Heart Study Brief Reports
Conclusions— Parental stroke by age 65 years is associated with increased vascular brain injury and lower memory in offspring equivalent to 3 and 7 years of brain aging, respectively. This may be partly attributed to inheritance of vascular risk factors.

Chinese Medicine Neuroaid Efficacy on Stroke Recovery: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Study Major Clinical Trial
Conclusions— MLC601 is statistically no better than placebo in improving outcomes at 3 months when used among patients with acute ischemic stroke of intermediate severity. Longer treatment duration and follow-up of participants with treatment initiated after 48 hours may be considered in future studies. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00554723.

Fatigue and pain: relationships with physical performance and patient beliefs after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Fatigue and pain are common after stroke and are negatively correlated with outcomes important to rehabilitation. Efforts focused on examining the impact of interventions on fatigue and pain are warranted. It is possible that changes to these body structure limitations could positively impact functional recovery and community re-entry after stroke. PMID: 23893834 [PubMed - in process]

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.
