Emotional and social characteristics of stroke patients with low verbal memory.
CONCLUSIONS: Because the social engagement may be treated as protective factor in the course of recovery we would recommend that during rehabilitation more attention should be paid to emotional and social functioning of stroke patients with low verbal memory.

Exploring the Association Between Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour and High-Sensitivity C-reactive Protein Among Stroke Survivors.
This study examined the association between physical activity, SB, and CRP in stroke. CRP data from 185 stroke survivors (mean age 65 years) from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2009-2010 were analyzed using weighted regression analysis. There was an interaction between physical activity and SB on CRP [estimated-β -0.079, 95% CI (-0.14, -0.02), p=0.011]. SB was associated with CRP among those who did not engage in physical activity [estimated-β 0.068, 95% CI (0.02, 0.11), p=0.005], but not among those who did [estimated-β 0.0003 95% CI (-0.03, 0.03), p=0.988]. Physical activity and SB are importan...

Effects of Tai Chi Yunshou exercise on community-based stroke patients: a cluster randomized controlled trial
ConclusionTai Chi Yunshou and balance rehabilitation training led to improved balance ability and functional mobility, and both are suitable community-based programs that may benefit for stroke recovery and community reintegration. Our data demonstrated that a 12-week Tai Chi Yunshou intervention was more effective in motor function, fear of falling and depression than balance rehabilitation training. Future studies examining the effectiveness of Tai Chi Yunahou as a balance ability improvement strategy for community-dwelling survivors of stroke are recommended.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trail Registry:ChiCRT-TRC-1...

The effect of family-centered empowerment program on the family caregiver burden and the activities of daily living of Iranian patients with stroke: a randomized controlled trial study.
Abstract
Dependence of stroke survivors regarding the ability to perform activities of daily living imposes a burden on family caregivers. The study evaluated the effect of the family-centered empowerment program on the ability of Iranian patients with stroke to perform activities of daily living, as well as on family caregiver burden. In this randomized controlled trial study, a total of 90 pairs of patients with stroke and their family caregivers was selected and randomly assigned to the intervention or control groups. Patients and their family caregivers participated in four family-centered empowerment program ...

Transforming growth factor- β promotes basement membrane fibrosis, alters perivascular cerebrospinal fluid distribution, and worsens neurological recovery in the aged brain after stroke
AbstractAging and stroke alter the composition of the basement membrane and reduce the perivascular distribution of cerebrospinal fluid and solutes, which may contribute to poor functional recovery in elderly patients. Following stroke, TGF- β induces astrocyte activation and subsequent glial scar development. This is dysregulated with aging and could lead to chronic, detrimental changes within the basement membrane. We hypothesized that TGF-β induces basement membrane fibrosis after stroke, leading to impaired perivascular CSF distri bution and poor functional recovery in aged animals. We found that CSF entered the aged...

High Prevalence of Social Cognition Disorders and Mild Cognitive Impairment Long Term After Stroke
Conclusions:
The study demonstrates the high frequency of social cognition impairment 3 years after the first-ever stroke in young patients. Doctors and nurses should be sensitized to cognitive handicap after stroke because of difficulties for rehabilitation and returning to work.

Effects of A Benefit-Finding Intervention in Stroke Caregivers in Communities.
CONCLUSIONS: The intervention appears to be feasible for stroke patients and caregivers. The intervention is capable of improving the quality of life of caregivers and survivors, increasing the benefit finding of caregivers and reducing the burden of caregivers.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The benefit-finding intervention is capable of improving the health condition of stroke patients and caregivers.

The lived experience of patients suffering from stroke and their perception of palliative care needs: a literature review
This study aims to review the lived experience of patients suffering from stroke and describe their perception of palliative care needs.
A literature review search was conducted. Web of Sciences, SAGE, CINAHL, PubMed and Jordanian Database for Nursing Research databases were used to search the literature.
The findings of 37 articles were address palliative care approaches for patients with stroke, lived experiences of patients suffering from stroke and the experience, barriers and facilitators related to health-care service for stroke survivors.
This review indicated the importance of recognizing palliative care n...

Six‐month prospective study of fall risk factors identification in patients post‐stroke
ConclusionsFear of falling was the best indicator of falling. Receiving physical therapy after a stroke seems to highly contribute to improved functional independence of activities in daily living, and increased self‐confidence and cognitive function. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2013; ●●: ●●–●●.
