Stroke Prevention in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: Update on Target-Specific Oral Anticoagulants.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in adults, and the risk for stroke is increased five-fold. Efforts should be made to educate health care providers to understand the importance of using risk stratification tools. New oral anticoagulants are available for thromboembolic stroke prevention, and knowledge of their clinical indications and use is essential. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2015;46(4):152-154.

Transitions of care for stroke and TIA

Information from patient surveys indicated that emotional health, follow‐up with care providers, stroke education, and point of contact are important elements during the transition periods after stroke and TIA. Implications for practiceBoth providers and patients should inform the development of a comprehensive TOC program that spans in‐hospital to multiple care settings, including the home, which is essential. The advanced practice...

Using the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) for Dysphagia Screening in Acute Stroke Patients.
Abstract Aspiration pneumonia from dysphagia following stroke presents significant morbidity and mortality in that population. Dysphagia screening before oral intake has been a standard of care for years, but there is a lack of consensus on the best screening tool. The Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) is presented as a potentially better alternative to other dysphagia screens due to its safer progression of oral intake, more thorough evaluation of swallowing, and ability to enable earlier nutrition.

Family History of Stroke Among African Americans and Its Association With Risk Factors, Knowledge, Perceptions, and Exercise
Conclusions: Family history of stroke was common in this sample; however, it did not translate into better understanding of stroke or better exercise behaviors and intentions. More can be done to identify African Americans with a FHS, especially those with multiple risk factors, to educate them about the significance of FHS while promoting lifestyle change and self-management.

Non-therapeutic intensive care for organ donation: A healthcare professionals' opinion survey.
CONCLUSION: The acceptance by healthcare professionals of non-therapeutic intensive care for brain death organ donation seems fairly good, despite a suboptimal education regarding brain death, non-therapeutic intensive care and families' support. But they ask to require previously expressed patient's consent and family's approval. So, it seems that non-therapeutic intensive care should only remain an ethically sound mean of empowerment of organ donors and their families to make post-mortem donation happen as a full respect of individual autonomy.

Education for nurses working in cardiovascular care: A European survey
Conclusion: There is variability in the content, teaching, learning and evaluation methods in post-registration cardiovascular nurse education programmes in Europe. Cardiovascular nurse education would be strengthened with a stronger focus upon content that reflects current health challenges faced in Europe. A broader view of cardiovascular disease to include stroke and peripheral vascular disease is recommended with greater emphasis on prevention, rehabilitation and the impact of health inequalities.
