Association of Stroke with the Receptor-Binding Profiles of Antipsychotics—A Case-Crossover Study
Conclusions: Our findings suggest an association between stroke risk and high M1 muscarinic and α2 adrenergic affinity. The clinical implication is to start antipsychotics treatment at low dosages and to closely monitor the side effects in the initial treatment, particularly for individuals with older age and the presence of dementia.

Increased risk of ischemic stroke in patients with pneumoconiosis
Publication date: February 2015 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, Volume 22, Issue 2 Author(s): Yuan-Yang Cheng , Kuo-Hsuan Hsu , Yi-Huei Chen , Ching-Heng Lin Although past studies have confirmed that chronic dust exposure is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the relationship between it and cerebrovascular disease is still unclear. We aimed to determine whether pneumoconiosis is related to increased incidence of ischemic stroke in the following 5 to 11years. We selected 1238 patients with pneumoconiosis from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance database as our study cohort. After matching for age, sex and...

CARES (Changing and Advancing Risk factor control through Educations after Stroke): A Pilot Trial of a Transitions in Care Post-discharge Telephone Intervention for Stroke Patients (S13.006)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a telephonic post-discharge intervention designed to improve access to care, reinforce self-management skills, improve health literacy, and screen for complications in a government-run safety net system. BACKGROUND: In the United States, risk factor control after stroke is poor, particularly among socio-economically disadvantaged populations with poor access to care. The immediate post-discharge period is a vulnerable time for stroke patients, given their risk of recurrent stroke, worsening symptoms, complications, and need for medication titra...

Sitagliptin After Ischemic Stroke in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Nationwide Cohort Study
Abstract: The cerebrovascular safety and efficacy of sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with ischemic stroke remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin in patients with T2DM with recent ischemic stroke.
We analyzed data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database between March 1, 2009, and December 31, 2011. Ischemic stroke patients were identified from individuals with T2DM. Patients who received sitagliptin were compared with those who did not to evaluate the cardiovascular safety and efficacy...

Association between tooth loss and medical costs related to stroke in healthy older adults aged over 75 years in Japan
ConclusionWithin the limitations of the present study, the reported findings suggest an independent relationship of tooth loss with increase in medical cost related to stroke among older Japanese adults. Further studies are necessary to substantiate these findings. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2016; ●●: ●●–●●.

Care pathways and healthcare use of stroke survivors six months after admission to an acute-care hospital in France in 2012.
CONCLUSIONS: These results illustrate the value of administrative databases to study stroke management, care pathways and ambulatory care. These data should be used to improve care pathways, organization, discharge planning and treatments.

Risk of epilepsy in stroke patients receiving acupuncture treatment: a nationwide retrospective matched-cohort study
Conclusions
Stroke patients who received acupuncture treatment had a reduced risk of epilepsy compared with those not receiving acupuncture treatment. However, the protective effects associated with acupuncture treatment require further validation in prospective cohort studies.

Different impact of aspirin on renal progression in patients with predialysis advanced chronic kidney disease with or without previous stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant benefit in preventing ischemic stroke in the patients with advanced CKD who received aspirin therapy. Furthermore, the use of aspirin was associated with the risk of renal failure in the patients with advanced CKD without previous stroke.

Increased Risk of Bullous Pemphigoid after First-Ever Stroke: A Population-Based Study
Background: We hypothesize that autoantibodies are induced after the blood-brain barrier is damaged by stroke and the risk of bullous pemphigoid (BP) is increased after stroke. We assess the risk of BP after first-ever stroke in a nationwide population-based cohort of first-ever stroke patients.Methods: We extracted data from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005 and identified patients with first-ever stroke as well as control patients matched for age, gender, and year of enrollment. The risk of BP in first-ever stroke patients in comparison with that in control patients was analyzed using Cox regression.Results...
