Longitudinal white matter hyperintensity changes and cognitive decline in patients with minor stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The longitudinal change of WMH is dynamic. The regressive WMH volume was associated with the use of antihypertensive medications on a regular basis. The presence of lacunes at the initial visit of the study was a stronger predictor of WMH progression. The progression of WMH volume could be useful in predicting cognitive decline in patients with minor stroke.PMID:35084664 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-021-02024-5

The effects of virtual reality training in stroke and Parkinson ’s disease rehabilitation: a systematic review and a perspective on usability
ConclusionsVR training is suggested as an effective intervention to improve the functional ability in stroke and PD patients. Addition of VR into a rehabilitation program might facilitate patient ’s motivation, participation and improvement, as this method was generally well accepted, and the results of trials were promising. The consideration of disorder-specific aspects should take place during the decision-making of VR implementation.

Poststroke Anxiety at 1 Year After Rehabilitation: A Multicenter Study
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of and factors associated with anxiety among patients with stroke at the 1 year after rehabilitation from 9 tertiary centers. Anxiety, functional score, and quality of life were evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-anxiety subscale (HADS-A), modified Barthel Index, and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQoL-BREF), respectively. This study reveals 20 (11.7%) patients with stroke who developed anxiety, and 18 from 171 patients (10.5%) were new cases of anxiety, which was more than double the rate at discharge (4.7%). Factors related to anxiety w...

Is There an Association between Norton Scale and Cognitive Impairment in Hip Fractured Elderly Patients?
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that there is an association between Norton Scale Scores and cognitive impairment. Norton score parameters, under certain circumstances, such as speech and other communication difficulties, can be used as a proxy measure for MMSE to indicate cognitive impairment. These findings can be even more helpful in the present time of “COVID-19,” when we have to evaluate older patients with facial masks and other defensive suits.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord
