Tube feeding predictors after ischemic hemispheric stroke during hospitalization
CONCLUSION: Tube feeding during patients hospitalization after ischemic hemispheric stroke was predicted by the severity of stroke and signs of airway permeation.Key pointsSwallowing difficulty is one of the most common post-stroke consequences.There are few studies on the characterization of post-stroke patients with tube feeding.Tube feeding after ischemic stroke predictors were severity of stroke and signs of airway permeation.PMID:33775213 | DOI:10.1080/14015439.2021.1899279

Level of motor, sensory and functional impairment from stroke at admission and hospital discharge in Brazil.
Conclusions: Clinical severity was softened along the hospitalization period. The clinical, motor, sensory and functional characterization enlarges the understanding of the stroke sequelae, besides monitoring the deficits and the level of disability in this population in Brazil.

Improving door-to-reperfusion time in acute ischemic stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic: experience from a public comprehensive stroke center in Brazil
ConclusionAcute stroke care continued to be a priority despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The implementation of a thrombolytic bolus and the start of continuous infusion on the CT scan table was the main factor that contributed to the reduction of DNT. Continuous monitoring of service times is essential for improving the quality of the stroke center and achieving better functional outcomes for patients.
