The role of emotion regulation on social participation following stroke.
This study highlights the potential for developing a behaviour change intervention to address emotion regulation difficulties and thus ensuring individuals maximize their potential rehabilitation outcome. Cautions of the study for consideration Emotion regulation was a self-report measure, and proxy measures would have been desirable. We are unable to establish if the post-stroke individuals differed from the controls on their emotion regulation prior to stroke. PMID: 25272054 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Concerns about medications mediate the association of posttraumatic stress disorder with adherence to medication in stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: Increased concerns about medications explain a significant proportion of the association between PTSD symptoms and non-adherence to medication in stroke survivors. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION: What is already known on this subject? Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common after cardiovascular events, including stroke and transient ischemic attack. PTSD due to non-stroke cardiovascular events is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease recurrence and mortality. PTSD due to stroke is associated with increased risk for medication nonadherence in stroke survivors. What does this study add? While...

Clock Drawing Test in acute stroke and its relationship with long-term functional and cognitive outcomes.
CONCLUSION: Performance on the CDT in acute stroke is related to long-term outcomes including patients' degree of independence in performing activities of daily living, the degree to which they achieved reintegration into daily occupations, and the degree of cognitive decline observed one-year post-stroke. Future studies are needed to clarify the nature of the relationship between different CDT scoring systems and post-stroke outcomes. PMID: 29985104 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The dispute about sans serif versus serif fonts: An interaction between the variables of serif and stroke contrast
CONCLUSION: Sans serif fonts with low stroke contrast yield better performance and if a serif font is used, high stroke contrast yields better performance than low stroke contrast. Limitations and future directions are discussed.PMID:35661978 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2022.103623

Functional Stroke Mimics: Incidence and Characteristics at a Primary Stroke Center in the Middle East
Conclusions FSM frequencies varied by nationality, with Arab and African nationals being twice as prevalent. Stress, vulnerable status as expats, sociopolitical instability, and exposure to trauma are proposed as potential factors contributing to FSM.

Association Between Optimism and Incident Stroke Among Stroke Survivors: Findings From the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
CONCLUSIONS: Higher trait optimism was associated with reduced stroke risk. This association was partially mediated by physical activity albeit the effect was small, and caution warranted inferring causality. The interplay of personality, behavior, and clinical risk factors in stroke incidence and survivorship needs further investigation.PMID:37706520 | DOI:10.1093/abm/kaad051

Ipsilesional Bias and Processing Speed are Important Predictors of Functional Dependency in the Neglect Phenomenon After a Right Hemisphere Stroke.
This study examined the relative importance of different core symptoms of VSN as predictors of functional dependency. A consecutive series of 105 right hemisphere stroke patients were tested early after stroke on three basic symptoms of VSN (omissions, asymmetry of omissions and ipsilesional bias of attention) and on two symptoms related to VSN (processing speed and repetitive target detections in visual search). Neurological deficits were also assessed. Functional outcome was measured 3 months and 2 years after stroke with the modified Rankin Scale. Univariate analyses revealed significant relationships with functional ou...
