The Role of Processing Speed in Post-Stroke Cognitive Dysfunction.
Abstract The association between speed of information processing and cognition has been extensively validated in normal aging and other neurocognitive disorders. Our aim was to determine whether such a relationship exists in stroke. Thirty patients and 30 age- and education-matched healthy individuals were administered a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests divided into the following six cognitive domains: processing speed (PS), verbal memory, visual memory, visuoperceptual function, language, and cognitive flexibility. The results demonstrate that stroke patients were characterized by cognitive defic...

Correlates of Incident Cognitive Impairment in the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study.
CONCLUSIONS: We adapted a previously validated cognitive test-based case definition to identify cases of ICI. Many previously identified risk factors were associated with ICI, supporting the criterion-related validity of our definition. PMID: 25978342 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Life satisfaction post stroke: the role of illness cognitions
To describe illness cognitions two months and two years post stroke and to investigate changes in illness cognitions over time. We also examined the associations between illness cognitions and life satisfaction at two months and two years post stroke and investigated if changes in illness cognitions predicted life satisfaction two years post stroke, taking demographic and stroke-related factors and emotional symptoms into account.

Post-traumatic stress disorder was associated with a threefold increased risk for stroke in a Taiwanese National Health Insurance Database
ABSTRACT FROM: Chen MH, Pan TL, Li CT, et al. Risk of stroke among patients with post-traumatic stress disorder: nationwide longitudinal study. Br J Psychiatry 2015;206:302–7. What is already known on this topic People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more likely to have psychiatric comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia.1 2 While stroke can trigger PTSD,3 prior to this study it was not known whether PTSD increases the risk for stroke. Methods of the study This was a longitudinal follow-up study to assess for development of stro...

The roles of specialisation and evidence-based practice in inter-professional jurisdictions: A qualitative study of stroke services in England, Sweden and Poland
Publication date: Available online 3 March 2016 Source:Social Science & Medicine Author(s): Juan I. Baeza, Annette Boaz, Alec Fraser This paper investigates how the concepts of clinical specialisation and evidence influence the jurisdictional power of doctors, nurses and therapists involved in stroke care in Sweden, England and Poland. How stroke care has become a distinct specialism across Europe and the role that evidence has played in this development are critically analysed. Five qualitative case studies were undertaken across the three countries, consisting of 119 semi-structured interviews with a range o...

Transcranial electrical stimulation in post-stroke cognitive rehabilitation: Where we are and where we are going.
Cognitive rehabilitation is an important area of neurological rehabilitation, which aims at the treatment of cognitive disorders due to acquired brain damage of different etiology, including stroke. Although the importance of cognitive rehabilitation for stroke survivors is well recognized, available cognitive treatments for neuropsychological disorders, such as spatial neglect, hemianopia, apraxia, and working memory, are overall still unsatisfactory. The growing body of evidence supporting the potential of the transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) as tool for interacting with neuroplasticity in the human brain, in tu...

(Re-)defining the self - Enhanced posttraumatic growth and event centrality in stroke survivors: A mixed-method approach and control comparison study
Growing evidences highlight the co-existence of negative and positive (e.g. posttraumatic growth) identity changes following stroke. Identity changes were assessed by comparing 42 survivors 21 months after stroke and healthy controls. A total of 26 stroke survivors participated in a semi-structured interview. Stroke survivors showed significantly higher posttraumatic growth (F(1, 75) = 9.79, p = .003) and integrated the critical life event to a higher extent into their identity (event centrality) (F(1, 74) = 37.54, p < .001). Qualitative analysis revealed increased appreciation of life and more intense/selective relatio...

The Role of Short Term Psychological and Somatic Anxiety in the Prediction of Long Term Anxiety of Early Hospital Discharged Patients with Complete Functional Recovery after a Mild Stroke
Few previous investigations have focused on post-stroke anxiety (PSA) predictors in mild stroke patients. The aim of the study was to determine whether anxiety-related psychological symptoms and psychomotor agitation predict PSA. We compared 10 anxious and 10 non-anxious patients at 6 months post-stroke (T2) to their psychological anxiety and psychomotor agitation levels 3 months earlier (T1). Anxious patients had more psychological anxiety symptoms than non-anxious patients. Overall T2 anxiety was strongly correlated with T1 psychological anxiety. Thus, psychological symptoms are a better predictor of PSA than somatic sym...

Changes and predictors of psychological stress among elderly stroke survivors 6  months after hospital discharge
Abstract The aim of this study was to analyse the changes in psychological stress and identify its basal predictors among elderly stroke survivors after 6 months following discharge from hospital to home directly, rather than to a rehabilitation facility. The sample comprised 50 elderly stroke survivors. Data were collected at 2 weeks (T1), at 3 months (T2), and at 6 months (T3) after hospital discharge. The following instruments were applied: Perceived Stress Scale—10 items (PSS‐10), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, Functional Independence Measure, and Geriatric Depression Scale—15 items. Study records...

Thrombolytic Therapy in Cocaine Users with Ischemic Stroke: A Review of Current Practice.
Authors: Siniscalchi A, De Sarro G, Pacifici R, Pisani E, Sanguigni S, Gallelli L Abstract Alteplase is the main pharmacological treatment available for intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Endovascular treatment alone or add-on to intravenous thrombolysis is a valid approach in acute ischemic stroke with cerebral large vessel disease. The most common serious adverse reaction related to alteplase is the development of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and the presence of cerebral small vessel disease may increase this risk, particularly in cocaine users, even if only few data have bee...

The Use of the Term Virtual Reality in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review and Commentary
In this study, we aimed to optimize the terminology for VR-based post-stroke rehabilitation by asses sing whether and how review papers on this topic defined VR and what types of mixed reality systems were discussed. In addition, this review can inspire the use of consistent terminology for other researchers working with VR. We assessed the use of the term VR in review papers on post-stroke rehabil itation extracted from Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed. We also developed a taxonomy distinguishing 16 mixed reality systems based on three factors: immersive versus semi-immersive displays, the way in which real and virtual i...

Screening for post-stroke neurocognitive disorders in diverse populations: a systematic review
Conclusions: MoCA, MMSE and OCS are promising tools for diagnosing post-stroke-NCD. For culturally diverse populations, translation, adaptation and adjusted scores or cut-offs are necessary for diagnostic accuracy. Available studies report scarcely about their sample's cultural background and there is a lack of diagnostic accuracy studies in less WEIRD or culturally diverse populations. Future studies should report more cultural characteristics of their sample to provide better insight into the tests' accuracy in culturally diverse populations.PMID:37480233 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2023.2237676
