Perceived performance of activities of daily living by stroke patients: key in decision to call EMS and outcomes
ConclusionPerception of unimpaired performance of ADL is a crucial barrier to appropriate help-seeking behavior after acute stroke, leading to undertreatment and less improvement in clinical symptoms. Thus, beyond improving the public’s knowledge of stroke symptoms, future public education campaigns should focus on the need for calling the EMS in case of stroke symptoms even if daily activities do not seem to be severely impaired.

Prospective analysis of video head impulse tests in patients with acute posterior circulation stroke
ConclusionSignificantly abnormal vHIT results were rare in patients with acute PCS, even in the presence of DBS. Moreover, vHIT effectively differentiated dizziness between PCS and VN, highlighting its potential for aiding differential diagnosis of acute dizziness.

Alterations in the preferred direction of individual arm muscle activation after stroke
DiscussionThese findings imply that alterations in the preferred direction of individual muscle activation contribute to various aspects of motor deficit following stroke. This insight may serve as a foundation for the development of innovative stroke neurorehabilitation approaches that take into account specific attributes of individual muscle activation, including their preferred activation direction.

Diffusion tensor free water MRI predicts progression of FLAIR white matter hyperintensities after ischemic stroke
DiscussionBaseline increased interstitial fluid, estimated as FW on DTI, predicted the progression of NAWM to WMH over the following year. These results implicate the presence of FW in the pathogenesis of cerebral small vessel disease progression.

A new instrument to assess physical function in stroke patients: the Dubousset function test and its validity, reliability, responsiveness
CONCLUSION: The DFT has excellent reliability and validity in post-stroke patients. Therefore, it may be a clinically suitable test for detecting balance and physical function.PMID:37733422 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2257439

Peripheral electrical stimulation on neuroplasticity and motor function in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions Electrostimulation is able to promote neuroplasticity and increase motor function, generating positive effects in the treatment of individuals with post-stroke sequelae.PMID:37732768 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2257419

The effects of cycling on walking outcomes in adults with stroke: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Considerable heterogeneity was observed across cycling protocols with respect to intensity, frequency, exercise duration and protocol duration. However, none of the studies reported declines in walking outcomes and improvements were measured in the absence of task-specific gait training. Cycling interventions employing moderate- to high-intensity aerobic training and 24 sessions or more may be optimal in improving gait velocity and walking capacity.PMID:37732513 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2259167

Serum retinol-binding protein 4 in stroke patients: correlation with T helper 17/regulatory T cell imbalance and 3-year cognitive function decline
ConclusionSerum RBP4 is positively associated with a Th17/Treg cell imbalance and, more importantly, it is indicative of cognitive function decline within 3 years in stroke patients. Thus, early and timely interventions and physical rehabilitation are more necessary in stroke patients with high serum RBP4.

Fatigue in stroke survivors: a 5-year follow-up of the Fall study of Gothenburg
In conclusion, half of the participants reported PSF 5 years after index stroke and higher body mass index was identified as a predictor. The findings from this study are important for healthcare professionals, for planning health-related efforts and rehabilitation of stroke survivors.ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier NCT02264470.

Brain MRI correlations with disease burden and biomarkers in Fabry disease
ConclusionBrain MRI revealed progressive lacunar infarctions, white matter hyperintensities, and decreased brain volume in patients with Fabry disease. Brain MRI lesions were closely related to onset-age; disease duration, severity, burden; and plasma Lyso-Gb3. However, they were not associated with sex, α-galactosidase A activity, orGLA mutation type.

A typology of cerebral small vessel disease based on imaging markers
ConclusionThe study confirmed the existence of different SVD types with different relationships to stroke outcome. EPVS and WMH were identified as imaging features of presumably early progression. The number of microbleeds and WMH severity appear to be promising biomarkers for distinguishing clinical subgroups. Further understanding of SVD progression might require consideration of refined SVD features, e.g., for EPVS and type of lacunes.
