National Women's Knowledge of Stroke Warning Signs, Overall and by Race/Ethnic Group Brief Reports
Conclusions— Knowledge of stroke warning signs was low among a nationally representative sample of women, especially among Hispanics. In contrast, knowledge to call 9-1-1 when experiencing signs of stroke was high.

Recommendations for the Management of Cerebral and Cerebellar Infarction With Swelling: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Scientific Statement
Conclusions— Swollen cerebral and cerebellar infarcts are critical conditions that warrant immediate, specialized neurointensive care and often neurosurgical intervention. Decompressive craniectomy is a necessary option in many patients. Selected patients may benefit greatly from such an approach, and although disabled, they may be functionally independent.

Activity of thigh muscles during static and dynamic stances in stroke patients: a pilot case-control study.
Conclusions: The vastus medialis, rectus femoris, and biceps femoris muscles on the affected side and the rectus femoris muscle on the unaffected side of stroke patients are involved in the static balance deficits, while the biceps femoris on the affected side influences dynamic balance control.

Feasibility and outcomes of a community-based, pedometer-monitored walking program in chronic stroke: a pilot study.
Conclusions: This study represents a preliminary step in determining the effectiveness of pedometer-based interventions for enhancing physical activity in persons with chronic stroke. Further study is warranted. PMID: 24710970 [PubMed - in process]

Does robot-assisted gait rehabilitation improve balance in stroke patients? A systematic review.
Abstract The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the improvements in balance after robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in stroke patients. Two databases were searched: PubMed and Web of Knowledge. The most important key words are "stroke," "RAGT," "balance," "Lokomat," and "gait trainer." Studies were included if stroke patients were involved in RAGT protocols, and balance was determined as an outcome measurement. The articles were checked for methodological quality by 2 reviewers (Cohen's κ = 0.72). Nine studies were included (7 true experimental and 2 pre-experimental studies; methodological quality ...

Evaluating stroke patients' awareness of risk factors and readiness to change stroke risk-related behaviors in a randomized controlled trial.
Conclusion: Stroke patients' unprompted recall of risk factors and performance of risk-related behaviors improved over time; readiness to change risk-related behaviors progressed for some behaviors. A brief educational intervention did not improve risk factor awareness or behavior change more than usual care. PMID: 24722044 [PubMed - in process]

Impact of BDNF -196 g≯a and BDNF -270 c≯t polymorphisms on stroke rehabilitation outcome: sex and age differences.
Conclusions:BDNF -196 G≯A polymorphism might affect functional outcome of stroke rehabilitation, but this hypothesis needs further verification. PMID: 24722042 [PubMed - in process]

Individualized treadmill and strength training for chronic stroke rehabilitation: effects of imbalance.
Discussion: These findings suggest that a protocol combining treadmill with strength training has beneficial long-term effects on functional walking measures after chronic stroke, especially in patients who initially have low balance ability. PMID: 24722041 [PubMed - in process]

Consistency of Blood Pressure Control After Ischemic Stroke: Prevalence and Prognosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In this rigorous clinical trial, fewer than one third of patients with stroke had BP controlled ≥75% of the time for 2 years. Furthermore, consistency of BP control among those with elevated baseline systolic BP was linked to reduction in risk of recurrent stroke and stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death.

Cognitive Impairment and Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Cognitive impairment is associated with higher risk of stroke. The associations were not significantly different for executive function, memory, and language.

Insomnia Subtypes and the Subsequent Risks of Stroke: Report From a Nationally Representative Cohort Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Insomnia predisposes individuals to increased risk of stroke and this association is profound among young adults. Our results underscore the clinical importance of identifying and treating insomnia. A novel behavioral intervention targeting insomnia that may prevent stroke should be explored.

Incident Stroke Is Associated With Common Carotid Artery Diameter and Not Common Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Although common carotid IMT is not associated with stroke, interadventitial diameter of the common carotid artery is independently associated with first-time incident ischemic stroke even after adjusting for IMT. Our hypothesis that this is in part attributable to the effects of exposure to blood pressure needs confirmation by other studies. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00063440.

Smartphone-Assisted Prehospital Medical Information System for Analyzing Data on Prehospital Stroke Care Brief Reports
Conclusions— SPMIS enabled us to analyze the prehospital information of patients with stroke in a short time with little effort. More large-scale studies on prehospital stroke care will become feasible using SPMIS, which may lead to advances in stroke treatment.
