Hydration practices for hospitalized stroke patients at the university teaching hospital in zambia
Volume contracted state (VCS) at stroke onset may worsen stroke outcomes; therefore, providers may consider administering increased rehydration in these patients. Thus, we sought to understand current hydration practices after stroke at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia.

Factors determining discharge against medical advice among stroke admissions in oauthc ile ife
Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) is request for a discharge treatment plan that is outside the range of medically acceptable standards of practice based on risk or other factors. We aimed to explore the rate and factors determining DAMA among stroke patients in OAUTHC Ile Ife.The study is a retrospective descriptive study that spanned 1st July 2017 to 30th June 2022 at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Southwestern Nigeria. Data on all stroke patients that DAMA within the study period was extracted from the unit register and case note retrieved at the record department of the hospit...

Predictors of 30-day mortality among stroke patients admitted at a tertiary teaching hospital in northwestern tanzania: a prospective cohort study
Stroke is the 2nd leading cause of death worldwide, with the highest mortality in Low-middle-income countries particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to investigate the predictors of 30-day mortality among stroke patients admitted at a tertiary hospital in Northwestern Tanzania.

The level of stroke severity amongst early and late presenters and their functional outcomes during a 30-day period in a teaching hospital in ghana
This study aimed at examining the clinical presentation of patients with acute ischaemic stroke, who presented early ( 4.5 hrs) against their functional outcomes during a 30-day period.

Time to ct scan imaging after symptom onset among ischeamic stroke patients presenting to a quaternary hospital in ghana
This study sought to determine the time of onset of symptoms to the time a CT imaging was done among patients presenting with acute stroke at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

Predictors of 30-day mortality among patients with stroke admitted at a tertiary teaching hospital in Northwestern Tanzania: A prospective cohort study
ConclusionStroke is associated with a high 30-day mortality rate in Northwestern Tanzania. Concerted efforts are warranted in managing patients with stroke, with particular attention to individuals with severe strokes, ECG abnormalities, and swallowing difficulties to reduce early morbidity and mortality.

ASPECT Score and Its Application to Vasospasm in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: a Case –Control Study
AbstractDelayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) is a significant complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) and is strongly associated with poorer outcome. The Alberta Stroke Program Early Computer Tomography (ASPECT) score is an established scoring tool, used in acute ischaemic stroke, to quantify early ischaemic changes on CT head scans. We aim to identify if ASPECT scoring correlates with functional outcome in DCI following aSAH. Retrospective case –control study. Inclusion criteria: admission to the Department of Neurosurgery at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (a tertiary neurosurgical centre in the Unite...

Development of a Nomogram for Predicting Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: The nomogram, composed of age, sex, NIHSS score on admission, hypertension history, fast glucose level, HDL cholesterol level, LDL cholesterol level, and presence of ≥50% cervicocephalic artery stenosis, can be used for prediction of ≥50% asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). Further studies are needed to validate the effectiveness of this nomogram in other populations.PMID:35570518 | DOI:10.2174/1574887117666220513104303

Prognostic Factors of the Lethality of Stroke at the Sour ô Sanou University Teaching Hospital of Burkina Faso
Conclusion: The study has identified three prognostic factors of lethality that are the hemorrhagic stroke type, the altered state of consciousness, and the central facial paralysis. Given the high case fatality, it is important to develop and implement effective prevention and management strategies adapted to the resources for the optimal control of stroke in Africa.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2022;12:36 –46

Therapeutic Effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Visuospatial Neglect Revealed With Event-Related Potentials
This study aimed to investigate changes in attention processing after low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left posterior parietal cortex to better understand its role in visuospatial neglect (VSN) rehabilitation. The current study included 10 subacute stroke patients with VSN consecutively recruited from the inpatient stroke rehabilitation center at Xuanwu Hospital (the teaching hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University) between March and November 2019. All patients performed a battery of tasks (including line bisection, line cancellation, and star cancellation tests) two we...
