Residential ethnic segregation and stroke risk in Mexican Americans: the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi project.
CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that residential ethnic segregation may influence downstream stroke risk in young MAs. Pathways between residential ethnic segregation and stroke in young MAs should be explored.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mental Distress among Stroke Survivors.

Association between television viewing time and risk of incident stroke in a general population: Results from the REGARDS study
Conclusions These results suggest that while TV/video viewing is associated with increased stroke risk, the effect of TV/video viewing on stroke risk may be explained through other risk factors.

Effectiveness of upper limb functional electrical stimulation after stroke for the improvement of activities of daily living and motor function: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsFES is a promising therapy which could play a part in future stroke rehabilitation. This review found a statistically significant benefit from FES applied within 2 months of stroke on the primary outcome of ADL. However, due to the very low (GRADE) quality evidence of these analyses, firm conclusions cannot be drawn about the effectiveness of FES or its optimum therapeutic window. Hence, there is a need for high quality large-scale randomised controlled tria ls of upper limb FES after stroke.Trial RegistrationPROSPERO:CRD42015025162, Date:11/08/2015

Race-Ethnic Disparities in Hospital Arrival Time after Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: African American men and socially disadvantaged women delay in presenting to the hospital after stroke onset. Future research should focus on identifying the factors contributing to pre-hospital delay among race-ethnic minorities.

Interventions for acute stroke management in Africa: a systematic review of the evidence
ConclusionEvidence from this review confirms the widespread assertion of low applicability and uptake of evidence-based acute stroke care in LMICs. Despite the limited eligible studies, the overall positive patient outcomes following such interventions demonstrate the applicability and value of evidence-based acute stroke care interventions in Africa. Health policy attention is thus required to ensure widespread applicability of such interventions for improved patients ’ outcomes. The review findings also emphasises the need for further research to unravel the reasons for low uptake.Systematic review registrationPROSPEROCRD42016051566

Mobile tablet-based therapies following stroke: a systematic scoping review protocol of attempted interventions and the challenges encountered
DiscussionTrends in MTBT feasibility and common challenges will be discussed to summarize major findings and highlight research gaps. Solutions to common challenges experienced by intervention participants and study staff will be proposed. Implications for the conduct of randomized clinical trials of MTBT efficacy and the appropriateness of a systematic review and meta-analysis of completed trials will be discussed.Systematic review registrationuO Research (http://hdl.handle.net/10393/35696).

Commentary: Addressing Racial Disparities in Stroke: The Wide Spectrum Investigation of Stroke Outcome Disparities on Multiple Levels (WISSDOM).
Authors: Adams RJ, Ellis C, Magwood G, Kindy MS, Bonilha L, Lackland DT, WISSDOM Investigators
Abstract
Racial-ethnic disparities in stroke recovery are well-established in the United States but the underlying causes are not well-understood. The typical assumption that racial-ethnic disparities in stroke recovery are explained by health care access inequities may be simplistic as access to stroke-related rehabilitation, for example, does not adequately explain the observed disparities. To approach the problem in a more comprehensive fashion, the Wide Spectrum Investigation of Stroke Outcome Disparities on Multiple ...

Black/Hispanic Disparities in a Vulnerable Post-Stroke Home Care Population
This article examines socio-economic and health disparities in a diverse, hypertensive sample of 495 post-stroke Black, non-Hispanic and Hispanic home health patients at risk of a recurrent stroke due to elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), defined as SBP > 140 mmHg. The article, which analyzes cross-sectional data, focuses on correlates of patients’ SBP—the leading modifiable cause of stroke—and physical function—a key stroke sequela and indicator of post-stroke quality of life. Of the 495 participants, 69.7% were Black, non-Hispanic, and 3 0.3% Hispanic. Black participants had significantly higher mean ...

Validity of Self-reported Stroke and Myocardial Infarction in Korea: The Health Examinees (HEXA) Study.
CONCLUSIONS: The validity of self-reported disease was lower than expected, especially in those who reported having been diagnosed with MI. Proper consideration is needed when using these self-reported data in further studies.

Sexual Identity and Racial/Ethnic Differences in Awareness of Heart Attack and Stroke Symptoms: Findings From the National Health Interview Survey.
CONCLUSION: Hispanic and Asian sexual minorities had lower rates of awareness of heart attack and stroke symptoms. Health information technology may be a platform for delivering health education and targeted health promotion for sexual minorities of color.

Does the physical environment matter? - A qualitative study of healthcare professionals' experiences of newly built stroke units
Conclusions: The healthcare professionals viewed the physical environment mainly in relation to stroke patients' specific needs, and several environmental features were considered poorly adapted to meet these needs. The physical environment is essential to high-quality care; thus, the process of planning and designing stroke units should be based on existing evidence.PMID:34240677 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2021.1917880
