Title: Impaired implicit learning and feedback processing after stroke Citation: Neuroscience, February 2016, vol./is. 314/(116-124), 0306-4522;1873-7544 (February 09, 2016) Author(s): Lam J.M., Globas C., Hosp J.A., Karnath H.-O., Wachter T., Luft A.R. Abstract: The ability to learn is assumed to support successful recovery and rehabilitation therapy after stroke. Hence, learning impairments may reduce the recovery potential. Here, the hypothesis is tested that stroke survivors have deficits in feedback-driven implicit learning. Stroke survivors (n=30) and healthy age-matched control subjects (n=21) learned a probabilistic classification task with brain activation measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging in a subset of these individuals (17 stroke and 10 controls). Stroke subjects learned slower than controls to classify cues. After being rewarded with a smiley face, they were less likely to give the same response when the cue was repeated. Stroke subjects showed reduced brain activation in putamen, pallidum, thalamus, frontal and prefrontal cortices and cerebellum when compared with controls. Lesion analysis identified those stroke survivors as learning-impaired who had lesions in frontal areas, putamen, thalamus, caudate and insula. Lesion laterality had no effect on learning efficacy or brain activation. These findings suggest that stroke survivors have deficits in reinforcement learning that may be related to dysfunctional processing of feedback-based decision-making, reward signals and working memory.
Title: A predictive model for diagnosing stroke-related apraxia of speech Citation: Neuropsychologia, January 2016, vol./is. 81/(129-139), 0028-3932;1873-3514 (January 29, 2016) Author(s): Ballard K.J., Azizi L., Duffy J.R., McNeil M.R., Halaki M., O'Dwyer N., Layfield C., Scholl D.I., Vogel A.P., Robin D.A. Abstract: Diagnosis of the speech motor planning/programming disorder, apraxia of speech (AOS), has proven challenging, largely due to its common co-occurrence with the language-based impairment of aphasia. Currently, diagnosis is based on perceptually identifying and rating the severity of several speech features. It is not known whether all, or a subset of the features, are required for a positive diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to assess predictor variables for the presence of AOS after left-hemisphere stroke, with the goal of increasing diagnostic objectivity and
3
efficiency. This population-based case-control study involved a sample of 72 cases, using the outcome measure of expert judgment on presence of AOS and including a large number of independently collected candidate predictors representing behavioral measures of linguistic, cognitive, nonspeech oral motor, and speech motor ability. We constructed a predictive model using multiple imputation to deal with missing data; the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) technique for variable selection to define the most relevant predictors, and bootstrapping to check the model stability and quantify the optimism of the developed model. Two measures were sufficient to distinguish between participants with AOS plus aphasia and those with aphasia alone, (1) a measure of speech errors with words of increasing length and (2) a measure of relative vowel duration in three-syllable words with weak-strong stress pattern (e.g., banana, potato). The model has high discriminative ability to distinguish between cases with and without AOS (c-index=0.93) and good agreement between observed and predicted probabilities (calibration slope=0.94). Some caution is warranted, given the relatively small sample specific to left-hemisphere stroke, and the limitations of imputing missing data. These two speech measures are straightforward to collect and analyse, facilitating use in research and clinical settings.

Title: Infection and Stroke: an Update on Recent Progress Citation: Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, January 2016, vol./is. 16/1(1-10), 15284042;1534-6293 (01 Jan 2016) Author(s): Miller E.C., Elkind M.S.V. Abstract: The role of infection in cerebrovascular disease is complex and remains incompletely understood. Over the last 5 years, investigators have made notable inroads in untangling this thorny topic. In this review, we examine these recent developments, concentrating on four aspects of the relationship between infection and stroke. We first discuss specific infectious agents as direct causes
4
of stroke, focusing on recent work implicating herpesviruses and HIV in cerebral vasculopathy. We then discuss systemic infection of any type as a stroke trigger, focusing on the relationship of infection to timing of acute stroke, both in children and adults, as well as the role of vaccination in stroke prevention. We examine the evidence for chronic infection or "infectious burden" as a stroke risk factor. Finally, we discuss recent work on infection as a risk factor for increased morbidity after stroke, possible mechanisms mediating this effect, and the evidence for prophylactic antibiotics.
Title: A Two-Phase Pathogenetic Model of Depression after Stroke Citation: Gerontology, December 2015, vol./is. 62/1(33-39), 0304-324X;1423-0003 (01 Dec 2015) Author(s): Werheid K. Abstract: Depression is among the major long-term complications of cerebral stroke. Occurring in about 30% of all stroke survivors, 'poststroke depression' (PSD) is known to be associated with prolonged recovery, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. Research over the past 25 years has enlarged our knowledge about organic and psychosocial risk factors, but their interaction is still unclear. In this paper, we start by reviewing and discussing pathogenetic PSD models that were proposed in the 1980s and 1990s. Based on these earlier approaches and on longitudinal research published since that time, a biphasic model is proposed that reflects the current knowledge on the emergence of PSD. The model integrates premorbid, stroke-related and psychosocial risk factors contributing to the emergence of PSD within the first 2 years after stroke. The distinction between 'reactive' and 'organic' PSD has been dropped, and groups of well-documented predictors are recommended for future research. Finally, we will outline possible implications of the model for prevention and therapy.
Title: Multimodal diagnostic imaging for hyperacute stroke Citation: American Journal of Neuroradiology, December 2015, vol./is. 36/12(2206-2213), 01956108;1936-959X (December 2015) Author(s): Vo K.D., Yoo A.J., Gupta A., Qiao Y., Vagal A.S., Hirsch J.A., Yousem D.M., Lum C. Abstract: In April 2015, the American Roentgen Ray Society and the American Society of Neuroradiology cosponsored a unique program designed to evaluate the state of the art in the imaging work-up of acute stroke. This topic has grown in importance because of the recent randomized controlled trials demonstrating the clear efficacy of endovascular stroke treatment. The authors, who were participants in that symposium, will highlight the points of emphasis in this article.
Title: Postacute stroke care: same standards as acute care? Citation: Lancet, 2015, vol./is. 386/10011(2366-2366), 00995355 Abstract: The author says that the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP), led by the Royal College of Physicians, has released the first comprehensive audit into 604 of 756 postacute stroke care services throughout Great Britain.

From the back of the book:
The Oxford Textbook of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease is a comprehensive textbook on clinical stroke, covering all major aspects of cerebrovascular disease including epidemiology, risk factors, primary prevention, pathophysiology, diagnostics, clinical features, acute therapies, secondary prevention, prognosis, and rehabilitation. It makes use of current pedagogic principles, and includes not only aspects on management in the acute hospital phase of stroke, but also public health issues, prevention, long-term management, and silent vascular disease (which isbecoming increasingly epidemic in the general population). Topical aspects also include advice to improve clinical skills in examination, diagnosing, and treating stroke. The text also covers the fields ofsilent cerebrovascular disease (silent brain infarcts, microbleeds, white matter ischemic abnormalities) that more recently have been recognized to be highly prevalent in the general population, and that carry important risks on vascular events and cognitive decline/dementia. Practical, easy to use, yet detailed with respect to pathophysiology, diagnostics, and management, this text provides a source of reference for the detection and management of all stroke and less common cerebrovascular diseases for practising and trainee neurologists, geriatricians, and all stroke physicians and clinicians.
Provides a succinct yet comprehensive review of the evolution of stroke patient management. The text starts with a brief overview of the anatomy and physiology, tying it to the types of strokes, the assessment, and diagnostic tools. Acute measures and prevention of secondary injury are outlined and lead us to review the potential complications and finally the rehabilitation and patient/family education. This highly practical, pocket-sized reference for stroke care nurses provides quick, bedside access to the most current guidelines for diagnostic tests, state-of-the-art treatments, and best-practice standards. This resource distills lengthy and often complex national stroke care guidelines into clear, bite-size pieces of information. It also explains the rationale behind stroke standards, making them easier to embrace and incorporate into practice. The book is organized consistently to foster rapid information retrieval. Each chapter includes objectives and such helpful features as "Fast Facts in a Nutshell," targeted segments that provide critical information at a glance. The guide also serves as an instructive resource for nurses not specializing in neurology but who are increasingly being called on to care for stroke patients.
