Beneficial effects of pre-stroke statins use in cardioembolic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation: a hospital-based retrospective analysis.
Conclusions: Despite the predominant use of statins in atherothrombotic stroke patients, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of statins in cardioembolic stroke patients. Detailed cardiovascular screening for statin therapy should be carried out in all AF patients with regard to primary and secondary stroke prevention. PMID: 30899291 [PubMed]

Value of routine echocardiography in the management of stroke.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Transthoracic echocardiography is routinely performed in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) to help plan secondary stroke management, but recent data evaluating its usefulness in this context are lacking. We sought to evaluate the value of echocardiography for identifying clinically actionable findings for secondary stroke prevention. METHODS: We conducted a multicentre cohort study of patients admitted to hospital with stroke or TIA between 2010 and 2015 at 2 academic hospitals in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Clinically actionable echocardiographic findings for secondar...

Interventions for preventing falls in people after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: At present there exists very little evidence about interventions other than exercises to reduce falling post stroke. Low to very low quality evidence exists that this population benefits from exercises to prevent falls, but not to reduce number of fallers.Fall research does not in general or consistently follow methodological gold standards, especially with regard to fall definition and time post stroke. More well-reported, adequately-powered research should further establish the value of exercises in reducing falling, in particular per phase, post stroke.

Management Protocols and Encountered Complications among Stroke Patients Admitted to Stroke Unit of Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia: Prospective Observational study
ConclusionBoth neurologic and medical complications were common in majority of stroke patients. But the management protocol for stroke patients was sub-optimal and lagging behind the recommended guidelines due to lack of skilled personnel, appropriate treatment and diagnostic agents. The clinical team involved in the care of stroke patients should make preparations to take preventive measures that will save a lot of lives.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for stroke recovery.
CONCLUSIONS: We found no reliable evidence that SSRIs should be used routinely to promote recovery after stroke. Meta-analysis of the trials at low risk of bias indicate that SSRIs do not improve recovery from stroke. We identified potential improvements in disability only in the analyses which included trials at high risk of bias. A further meta-analysis of large ongoing trials will be required to determine the generalisability of these findings. PMID: 31769878 [PubMed - in process]

Outcome after intravenous thrombolysis in embolic stroke of undetermined source compared to cardioembolic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Patients with ESUS had better outcome after IVT than patients with CS, which can be attributed to younger age and milder strokes in these patients. PMID: 32876739 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The diagnostic and prognostic performance of Lp-PLA2 in acute ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: High serum Lp-PLA2 level is correlated with AIS incidence, disease severity and recurrence, which could be utilized to guide clinical practice. PMID: 33483146 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of FAST and Stroke-112: A randomized study in Taiwan
CONCLUSION: We found no difference in recall ability between the 2 campaigns. Education level was associated with recallability of FAST, and age and stroke history were associated with recallability of Stroke-112.PMID:33736903 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2021.02.018

Medical nutrition therapy of stroke patients with dysphagia – 2021
Orv Hetil. 2021 Oct 3;162(40):1601-1609. doi: 10.1556/650.2021.32204.ABSTRACTÖsszefoglaló. A neurológiai betegek körében a dysphagia előfordulása gyakori, és több oka van. Az utóbbi évek kutatásai a közvetlen neurológiai kórokok (beleértve a gyakori stroke) szerepét is részletesen feltárták. Felismerték az ún. néma aspiráció jelentőségét: ez gyakran áll az (aspirációs) pneumonia hátterében, amely sokszor halálos szövődmény lehet. Az ún. poststroke pneumonia fogalma gyökeresen más értelmezésbe helyezte a stroke-ot követő tüdőgyulladások megítélését, jellegzetessége alapjá...
