Stroke in Commercial Flights Brief Reports
Conclusions— We found a low incidence of stroke in the setting of air travel. Economy class stroke syndrome and arterial dissection were well represented in our sample. However, the main pathogenesis was atherothrombosis with a high proportion of patients with high carotid stenosis.

Past, present, and future of stroke in middle‐income countries: the Brazilian experience
ConclusionsThe evolution of stroke care in Brazil over the last decade is a pathway that exemplifies the challenges that middle‐income countries have to face in order to improve stroke prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. The reported Brazilian experience can be extrapolated to understand the past, present, and future of stroke care in middle‐income countries.

Stroke in Asia: a global disaster
Although stroke is a world‐wide problem, the burden of stroke is particularly serious in Asia; its mortality is higher than in Europe or North America. The situation in Asia is dichotomized. Stroke mortality and case fatality has been declining in northern‐eastern countries such as Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and urbanized areas of China. This is attributed to both the risk factor control and stroke care improvement. However, declining stroke incidence is rarely observed, which is in part due to rapidly aging population. As a result, there is an increase in the number of stroke survivors who require long‐term, costly care....

Influence of Sex on Stroke Prognosis: A Demographic, Clinical, and Molecular Analysis
Conclusion Our data suggest that women who suffer from IS present with a poorer functional outcome than men at 3-months, regardless of other preclinical and clinical factors during the acute phase. These relationships seem to be mediated by atrial dysfunction and inflammation. The inflammatory response is slightly higher in women; however, there are no sex differences in their functional behavior. There is a probable relationship between the molecular marker of atrial dysfunction NT-proBNP and worse functional outcome in women, and the connection seems to be more important in cardioembolic stroke patients. In patients wi...

The effect of exposure to long working hours on stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis from the WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-related Burden of Disease and Injury.
CONCLUSIONS: We judged the existing bodies of evidence for human evidence as "inadequate evidence for harmfulness" for all exposure categories for stroke prevalence and mortality and for exposure to 41-48 h/week for stroke incidence. Evidence on exposure to 48-54 h/week and ≥55 h/week was judged as "limited evidence for harmfulness" and "sufficient evidence for harmfulness" for stroke incidence, respectively. Producing estimates for the burden of stroke attributable to exposures to working 48-54 and ≥55 h/week appears evidence-based, and the pooled effect estimates presented in this systematic review could be used ...

Differences in the distribution of risk factors for stroke among the high‐risk population in urban and rural areas of Eastern China
ConclusionAmong the population at high risk of stroke, there were significant differences in the distribution of the following risk factors between the urban and rural groups: hypertension, atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, lack of physical exercise, and a previous stroke. As the Chinese lifestyle has changed rapidly with the growth of economy and society during the past 3 decades, the incidence of risk factors for stroke in China has become similar to that in the Western countries. Hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, atrial fibrillation, physical inactivity, obesity, and stroke family history are the ...

Relative Aerobic Load of Daily Activities After Stroke
CONCLUSION: Individuals after stroke experience a high relative aerobic load during cyclic daily-life activities, despite adopting a slower movement pace than peers with no impairments. Perhaps individuals after stroke limit their movement pace to operate at sustainable relative aerobic load levels at the expense of pace and economy.IMPACT: Improving aerobic capacity through structured aerobic training in a rehabilitation program should be further investigated as a potential intervention to improve mobility and functioning after stroke.PMID:37172129 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad005

The One-Year Attributable Cost of Post-stroke Dysphagia
This study sought to address this issue by examining the 1-year cost associated with a diagnosis of dysphagia post-stroke in South Carolina. Furthermore, this study investigated whether ethnicity and residence differences exist in the cost of dysphagia post-stroke. Data on 3,200 patients in the South Carolina Medicare database from 2004 who had ICD-9 codes for ischemic stroke, 434 and 436, were retrospectively included in this study. Differences between persons with and without dysphagia post-stroke were compared with respect to age, gender, ethnicity, mortality, length of stay, comorbidity, rurality, discharge disposition...

Long Distance Travel Potentiates Other Novel Risk Factors in PFO Related Strokes - "Economy Class Strokes" (S55.006)
ConclusionPFOs are highly prevalent in the general population, but they are usually only discovered after a stroke - so effective risk assessment and prevention are key. Our results suggest that both air and land travel are risk factors for PFO-related stroke, and the coexistence of additional risk factors potentiates risk associated with immobilization. These results help to individualize care: high-risk patients may benefit from pre-travel education, or DVT prophylaxis.Study Supported by: NIH/NINDSDisclosure: Dr. Ning has nothing to disclose.

Comparison and Analysis of Epidemiologic Characteristics of Stroke in Sichuan Province, China
In conclusion, the disparity of lower stroke burden in Sichuan than the average China remained, although with the great developments in Sichuan province over all those decades. In addition to traditional modifiable factors, we suggest that unknown or intrinsic differences such as genetic factors might play an important role in geographic disparity, which should be investigated in future studies.

Quantile Regression Forests to Identify Determinants of Neighborhood Stroke Prevalence in 500 Cities in the USA: Implications for Neighborhoods with High Prevalence
AbstractStroke exerts a massive burden on the US health and economy. Place-based evidence is increasingly recognized as a critical part of stroke management, but identifying the key determinants of neighborhood stroke prevalence and the underlying effect mechanisms is a topic that has been treated sparingly in the literature. We aim to fill in the research gaps with a study focusing on urban health. We develop and apply analytical approaches to address two challenges. First, domain expertise on drivers of neighborhood-level stroke outcomes is limited. Second, commonly used linear regression methods may provide incomplete a...
