Discharge Is a Critical Time to Influence 10-Year Use of Secondary Prevention Therapies for Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Prescription of medications at hospital discharge was the strongest predictor of ongoing medication use in survivors of stroke, even at 10 years after stroke. Ensuring that patients with stroke are discharged on optimal medications is likely to improve their long-term management, but further strategies might be required among those who are disadvantaged.

Aphasia and swallowing problems in subjects with incident stroke in rural northern Tanzania: a case-control study.
Conclusions: This is the first attempt to describe aphasia incidence in a sub-Saharan African language. Further work on the psychometric properties of the screening instrument is warranted. Given that it delivers a relatively coarse indication of language disturbance, it is likely that incidence of aphasia in the current cohort is underestimated. PMID: 24521840 [PubMed - in process]

National Women's Knowledge of Stroke Warning Signs, Overall and by Race/Ethnic Group Brief Reports
Conclusions— Knowledge of stroke warning signs was low among a nationally representative sample of women, especially among Hispanics. In contrast, knowledge to call 9-1-1 when experiencing signs of stroke was high.

Activity of thigh muscles during static and dynamic stances in stroke patients: a pilot case-control study.
Conclusions: The vastus medialis, rectus femoris, and biceps femoris muscles on the affected side and the rectus femoris muscle on the unaffected side of stroke patients are involved in the static balance deficits, while the biceps femoris on the affected side influences dynamic balance control.

Feasibility and outcomes of a community-based, pedometer-monitored walking program in chronic stroke: a pilot study.
Conclusions: This study represents a preliminary step in determining the effectiveness of pedometer-based interventions for enhancing physical activity in persons with chronic stroke. Further study is warranted. PMID: 24710970 [PubMed - in process]

Impact of BDNF -196 g≯a and BDNF -270 c≯t polymorphisms on stroke rehabilitation outcome: sex and age differences.
Conclusions:BDNF -196 G≯A polymorphism might affect functional outcome of stroke rehabilitation, but this hypothesis needs further verification. PMID: 24722042 [PubMed - in process]

Statins Improve Survival in Patients With Cardioembolic Stroke Brief Reports
Conclusions— Statin therapy could be associated with reduced mortality in patients with cardioembolic stroke.

Task matters: influence of different cognitive tasks on cognitive-motor interference during dual-task walking in chronic stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: CMI pattern in chronic stroke survivors differs significantly with type of cognitive task. Gradual cognitive decline with chronicity of condition might have a role in altering the CMI pattern in this population. Future studies of DT interventions for stroke survivors might benefit from incorporating working memory tasks in their protocols. PMID: 25150667 [PubMed - in process]

P-Wave Morphology and the Risk of Incident Ischemic Stroke in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Brief Reports
Conclusions— We found an association between baseline P-wave morphology and incident stroke even after accounting for AF. This association may reflect an atrial cardiopathy that leads to stroke in the absence of AF.

Social Network, Social Support, and Risk of Incident Stroke: Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In this sample of US community-dwelling men and women, having a small social network was associated with excess risk of incident stroke. As with other cardiovascular conditions, having a small social network may be associated with a modestly increased risk of incident stroke.

Arteriopathy Diagnosis in Childhood Arterial Ischemic Stroke: Results of the Vascular Effects of Infection in Pediatric Stroke Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Clinical data and follow-up imaging help, yet uncertainty in the diagnosis of childhood arteriopathy remains. This presents a challenge to better understanding the mechanisms underlying these arteriopathies and designing strategies for prevention of childhood arterial ischemic stroke.

Catabolic Signaling and Muscle Wasting After Acute Ischemic Stroke in Mice: Indication for a Stroke-Specific Sarcopenia Basic Sciences
Conclusions— Catabolic pathways of muscle tissue are activated after stroke. Impaired feeding, sympathetic overactivation, or infection cannot fully explain this catabolic activation. Wasting of the target muscle of the disrupted innervation correlated to severity of brain injury. Our data indicate the presence of a stroke-specific sarcopenia.

Autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells intrathecal transplantation in chronic stroke.
This study demonstrates the potential of autologous BMMNCs intrathecal transplantation in improving the prognosis of functional recovery in chronic stage of stroke. Further clinical trials are recommended. This trial is registered with NCT02065778. PMID: 25126443 [PubMed]

Stroke Survivors Scoring Zero on the NIH Stroke Scale Score Still Exhibit Significant Motor Impairment and Functional Limitation.
Conclusion. While being used in stroke trials, the NIHSS may have limited ability to discriminate between treatment responses, even when only a relatively narrow array of impairment levels exists among patients. Given these findings, NIHSS use should be restricted to acute stroke studies and clinical settings with the goal of reporting stroke severity. PMID: 24772367 [PubMed]

Kinesthetic taping improves walking function in patients with stroke: a pilot cohort study.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that kinesthetic taping of the anterior thigh and knee provides an immediate improvement in walking function in patients with stroke. Such a positive effect on motor function could be a valuable adjunct in physical therapy and rehabilitation of patients with stroke. PMID: 25467397 [PubMed - in process]
