Preface
A stroke can happen to anyone at any time. Every year, nearly 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke. Despite improvements in stroke treatment in the United States, stroke remains the second leading cause of death worldwide. Stroke is also the third-leading cause of death and disability combined. Worldwide, the annual rate of stroke is 15 million. Of these, 3 million die and another 3 million are left permanently disabled. Stroke occurs every 40 seconds. Rapid and effective evaluation, identification, diagnosis, and treatment of stroke are vital in decreasing stroke morbidity and mortality.

Decompressive Hemicraniectomy in the Stroke Patient
Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) is a life-saving procedure involving removal of large portions of the skull to relieve intracranial pressure in patients with space occupying cerebral edema such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke. Although the procedure has been shown to decrease mortality in patients, the risk of severe disability is significant. Quality of life, not just survival, following DHC has emerged as an important consideration when the decision is made to perform a DHC.

Strokes and Predictors of Outcomes
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and fifth leading cause of death. Acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, the 3 subtypes of strokes, have varying treatment modalities. Common themes in management advocate for early interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality but not all perception is supported through randomized controlled trials. Each stroke subtype has varying premorbid-related and ictus-related outcome predictive models that have differing sensitivities and specificities.

Implementing the evidence translation-based resilience care model on family caregivers of stroke patients: a best-practice implementation project
Conclusion: The implementation of best practice for enhancing resilience of the family caregivers of stroke patients on the resilience evidence translation care model: a best practice implementation project in community settings is possible. The results indicate that evidence-based practice is an effective method for enhancing the resilience of family caregivers. The strategies contributed to the success of this project, such as scenario simulation education, Objective Structured Clinical Examination, regular weekly audits, and collaboration with project leaders when carrying out caregiver case discussion during clinical practice.

A Nursing Approach to Improving Critical Care Compliance With Vital Signs and Neurological Assessments in Post-IV-Alteplase Stroke Patients
Ischemic stroke represents 87% of all strokes. As global initiatives move forward with stroke care, health care providers and institutions will be called on to deliver the most current evidence-based care. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) estimates that 795 000 strokes occur each year; 610 000 are new strokes, and 185 000 are recurrent strokes. Eighty-seven percent are ischemic strokes; the overall mortality rate from stroke was 273 000, which makes stroke the fifth leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the United States. Stroke costs the United States an estimate...
