Factors associated with knowledge and awareness of stroke in the Iraqi population: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionThere was a lack of knowledge about risk factors for stroke among the participants. There is a need for an awareness program among the Iraqi people to raise their understanding of stroke that can reduce stroke mortality and morbidity.

Determinants of cerebral collateral circulation in acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion
DiscussionThe results of our study suggest that risk factors and demographics do not influence the development of collateral circles, except for a negative relation with previous ischemic events. We confirm an already reported observation of a possible protective effect of collaterals on tissue damage assuming NIHSS as its surrogate. The association between left hemispheric stroke and better collaterals deserves to be further explored. Further efforts are needed to identify the factors that favor the development of collaterals.

The role of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein serum levels in the prognosis for patients with stroke: a meta-analysis
ConclusionHs-CRP levels are strongly associated with mortality, risk of stroke recurrence and poor prognosis in stroke patients. Therefore, hs-CRP levels may contribute to the prognosis prediction of these patients.

Stroke severity mediates the effect of socioeconomic disadvantage on poor outcomes among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage
ConclusionCSVD contributed to poor functional outcome independent of socioeconomic deprivation, while stroke severity mediated the effects of deprivation. Improving awareness and trust among disadvantaged communities may reduce admission stroke severity and improve outcomes.

Associations between homocysteine and B vitamins and stroke: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionNon-linear associations of plasma Hcy and B vitamins levels with stroke prevalence were found in American adults. These associations may have an implication that higher plasma Hcy levels should be reduced, and plasma vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folate levels should be moderately improved in stroke prevention. Future studies are needed to verify the causality of these associations and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Burden and attributable risk factors of ischemic stroke in China from 1990 to 2019: an analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
ConclusionOur study revealed that great changes have occurred in burden and attributable risk factors of ischemic stroke in China in the past three decades. Distinct sex-specific differences are observed in burden and attributable risk factors.

Triglyceride-glucose index predicts death in patients with stroke younger than 65
ConclusionElevated TGI independently predicts death at 3 months and 12 months in patients under 65 with ischemic stroke. Regulating TGI is expected to be an approach to enhance prognosis in young individuals affected by ischemic stroke.

Access to mechanical thrombectomy and ischemic stroke mortality in Japan: a spatial ecological study
ConclusionAccess to mechanical thrombectomy was estimated, and regional differences were observed. The relationship between accessibility and IS mortality is unknown; however, regardless of accessibility, municipalities with a high proportion of workers in secondary industries and a small proportion with bachelor’s degrees or above are at risk of death from stroke.

Association of Blood Pressure With Stroke Risk, Stratified by Age and Stroke Type, in a Low-Income Population in China: A 27-Year Prospective Cohort Study
Association of stroke risk with new blood pressure criterion 2017 is unknown in China. We assessed the association between blood pressure (BP) values and stroke risk in a low-income population in Tianjin, China. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) values were categorized into five strata and strokes were recorded as stroke, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke. Stroke risk was analyzed according to blood pressure stratum using Cox regression analysis. Overall, 4017 residents (age, ≥18 years) were included in this prospective cohort study. Over a 27-year follow-up period (total, 86,515.78 p...

Association of Lesion Location With Long-Term Recovery in Post-stroke Aphasia and Language Deficits
Conclusions: We identified specific brain lesions associated with long-term outcomes in four dimensions of aphasia, in patients with post-stroke aphasia. Our findings may be useful for advancing understanding for the pathophysiology of aphasia in stroke patients.

Hospital-Level Variations in Rates of Inpatient Urinary Tract Infections in Stroke
Conclusions: There is hospital-level variation in post-stroke UTI. Our results suggest the potential influence of service characteristics independently of patient-level factors which may be amenable to address to improve the ultimate stroke outcome.

A Hearing Screening Protocol for Stroke Patients: An Exploratory Study
Conclusion: This study is a first step towards addressing the complex auditory needs of stroke survivors in a systematic manner, with the ultimate aim to support their communication needs and long-term recovery and wellbeing.

Sequelae and Quality of Life in Patients Living at Home 1 Year After a Stroke Managed in Stroke Units
Conclusion Despite a good one-year post-stroke functional outcome, non-motor disabling symptoms are frequent amongst patients returned home and able to be interviewed, contributing to a low level of participation and a poor quality of life. Rehabilitation strategies focused on participation should be developed to break the vicious circle of social isolation and improve quality of life.

Accuracy of Individuals Post-hemiparetic Stroke in Matching Torques Between Arms Depends on the Arm Referenced
Conclusions. Results demonstrate the importance of the arm referenced, i.e., paretic versus non-paretic, on how accurately individuals post-hemiparetic stroke judge their torques during a bimanual task. Results also indicate that individuals with hemiparetic stroke judge torques primarily based on their perceived effort. Finally, findings support the notion that training individuals post-hemiparetic stroke to accurately perceive their self-generated torques, with a focus of their non-paretic arm in relation to their paretic arm, may lead to an improved ability to perform bimanual activities of daily living.

Rich-Club Organization: An Important Determinant of Functional Outcome After Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: In this proof-of-concept study, the number of rich-club nodes affected by a stroke lesion presents a translational biomarker of stroke outcome, which can be readily assessed using standard clinical AIS imaging protocols and considered in functional outcome prediction models beyond traditional factors.
