Factors associated with cognitive impairment at 3, 6, and 12 months after the first stroke among Lebanese survivors
ConclusionThe risk of PSCI among Lebanese stroke survivors was high especially in the acute phase, depending on various determinants. Health care providers are invited to implement an emergency rehabilitation program for an appropriate successful management of the risk factors in order to reduce stroke burden and to improve overall cognitive performance.

The effects of racism and resilience on Black stroke- survivor quality of life: Study protocol and rationale for a mixed-methods approach
This study aims to examine the effects of experiences of racism and resilience on Black SS QoL during early stroke recovery. This article presents the study protocol.Methods and analysesThis will be a prospective observational mixed-methods study. Black community-dwelling adults who are within 4 weeks of a stroke will be eligible for inclusion. Baseline measures will include the exposure variables of experiences of racism and resilience. Covariates measured at baseline include sociodemographic variables (age, sex, marital status, education, income, health insurance, employment status, number of people in household, residen...

Workforce Attachment after Ischemic Stroke – The Importance of Time to Thrombolytic Therapy
The ability to remain in employment addresses an important consequence of stroke beyond the usual clinical parameters. However, data on the association between time to intravenous thrombolysis and workforce attachment in patients with acute ischemic stroke are sparse.

Poststroke Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors
In the community, major risk factors for depression include sex, advancing age, lower income, employment status, and illnesses such as stroke that result in disability and affect income, employment, and social status. Poststroke depression affects 1 in every 3 patients in the first year after stroke occurrence and thereafter. Important general treatments for depression include the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors; these compounds have also been suggested to modulate motor and functional recovery after stroke. The FLAME (Fluoxetine for Motor Recovery After Acute Ischaemic Stroke) trial kindled interest in treatment w...

Employment Status Prior to Ischemic Stroke and Weekly Variation of Stroke Onset
To investigate the differences in clinical backgrounds, especially weekly variations of stroke occurrence, between hyper-acute ischemic stroke patients with and without regular employment (RE), as well as the impact of RE on outcome.

Early Post-stroke Cognition: In-hospital Predictors and the Association With Functional Outcome
Conclusion: Many patients experience early post-stroke cognitive dysfunction that significantly impacts function during a critical time period for decision-making regarding return to work and future independence. Dysfunction measured at 4–8 weeks can be predicted during the inpatient hospitalization. These high-risk individuals should be identified for targeted rehabilitation and counseling to improve longer-term post-stroke outcomes.

Depression and quality of life after cerebral venous sinus thrombosis
Conclusion: This is the first Indian study demonstrating depression in patients with CVST and use of SA-SIP to assess quality of life in them. Occurrence of depression in CVST is as high as in arterial strokes.

Factors influencing employment after minor stroke and NSTEMI
Aim: To study the effect of cognitive function, fatigue and emotional symptoms on employment after a minor ischemic stroke compared to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Material and methods: We included 217 patients with minor ischemic stroke and 133 NSTEMI patients employed at baseline aged 18 –70 years. Minor stroke was defined as modified Rankin scale (mRS) 0–2 at day seven or at discharge if before. Included NSTEMI patients had the same functional mRS. We applied a selection of cognitive tests and the patients completed questionnaires measuring symptoms of anxiety, depression and f atigue at follow up.

A qualitative exploration of the sociology of poststroke visual impairments and the associated health inequalities
ConclusionThe stroke survivors frequently reported a complete lack of visual care, with many recounting apathetic experiences, often resonating power imbalance in the healthcare system. Where suitable care is being offered after stroke, a desire for a personalized approach to rehabilitation, with adapted communication methods specific to individual needs, featured strongly in many of the respondent accounts. The findings emphasize a need to ensure vision rehabilitation is offered to all stroke survivors suffering from poststroke visual impairment, and to educate stroke clinicians and patients of the bigger picture of life ...

Association between self-perceived psychological stress and transitory ischaemic attack and minor stroke: a case–control study
ConclusionsThere is a strong association between self-perceived psychological stress and TIA. The imbalance between effort and reward at work is also clearly related to TIA.ResumenIntroducciónEl ictus tiene una etiopatogenia compleja en la que influyen un gran número de factores de riesgo. Existe un creciente interés por el estudio de los cambios fisiopatológicos que conlleva el estrés y su posible relación con la enfermedad cerebrovascular. El propósito de este trabajo es valorar la fuerza de asociación entre la exposición al estrés y el ictus.MétodoRealizamos un estudio de casos y controles (1:1), comparando l...

Impact of Upper Limb Function and Employment Status on Return to Work of Blue-Collar Workers after Stroke
Return to work (RTW) after stroke is the ultimate goal of the working population to achieve economic independence and well-being. Previous studies have reported lower RTW rates of blue-collar workers versus white-collar workers. Thus, investigating predictive factors for RTW of blue-collar workers is meaningful to improve RTW after stroke. Here, we investigate the physical, cognitive, and social factors associated with the RTW of blue-collar workers after stroke.

Stigma experienced by Chinese patients with stroke during inpatient rehabilitation and its correlated factors: a cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSIONS: Stigma was moderate, and internalized stigma may be more apparent; therefore, physicians should pay more attention to patients who report or show signs of experiencing stroke-related stigma. PMID: 31104577 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Why do people misunderstand stroke symptoms? How background knowledge affects causal attributions for ambiguous stroke symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings show how different information about stroke survivors affect people's attributions for survivors' behaviour; this has important implications for accurate diagnosis and effective rehabilitation that targets these attributions.

Visual field defect after ischemic stroke —impact on mortality
ConclusionsHaving a visual field defect after ischemic stroke is independently associated with increased mortality. This should be addressed when selecting candidates for thrombolysis and in the rehabilitation process.
