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.

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.

Knowledge and awareness of stroke and associated factors in the Saudi general population: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionOur study revealed that participants have good knowledge about stroke. Nonetheless, further efforts are required to raise awareness and educate the public to optimize and ensure better treatment outcomes.

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.

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.

Protein kinase D2 confers neuroprotection by promoting AKT and CREB activation in ischemic stroke
In this study, we found that PKD2 expression and activity were significantly upregulated in the ipsilateral side of the brain after transient focal cerebral ischemia, which coincides with the upregulation of PKD2 in primary neurons in response to in vitro ischemia, implying a potential role of PKD2 in neuronal survival in ischemic stroke. Using kinase-dead PKD2 knock-in (PKD2-KI) mice, we examined whether loss of PKD2 activity affected stroke outcomes in mice subjected to 1 h of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and 24 h of reperfusion. Our data demonstrated that PKD2-KI mice exhibited larger infarction vo...

Low value of inherited thrombophilia testing among patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack: A three-year retrospective study
Inherited thrombophilia testing in the acute inpatient setting is controversial and expensive, and rarely changes clinical management. We evaluated ordering patterns and results of inpatient inherited thrombophilia testing for patients who presented with an isolated acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) without concurrent venous thromboembolism.

Mediterranean-style diet and intracranial large artery stenosis in the Northern Manhattan Study
Intracranial large artery stenosis (ICAS) is one of the most common causes of stroke worldwide.1 Among stroke-free community-dwelling adults, ICAS is prevalent, associated with modifiable vascular risk factors, and confers risk of incident vascular events.2 Given prior work linking a Mediterranean-style diet (MeDi), which is rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, to reduced risk of vascular conditions and cardiovascular events,3,4 we hypothesized MeDi may also be protective against ICAS.

A nomogram predicts early neurological deterioration after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with ischemic stroke
DiscussionOur study established and validated a nomogram to stratify the risk of END before mechanical embolectomy and identify high-risk patients, who should be more cautious when making clinical decisions.
