“…Identification of patients with stroke who have depression can be difficult when there are language and cognitive impairments [ 28 ]. Those with post-stroke depression might be less likely to participate in rehabilitation therapies, be less compliant with medications, feel more fatigue, have less appetite, and generally have poorer post-stroke outcomes [ 29 30 ]. Post-stroke depression can also contribute to post-stroke mortality [ 31 ].…”

ObjectiveTo determine the incidence and risk factors for medical complications in Korean patients suffering from stroke and the impact of such complications on post-stroke functional outcomes.MethodsWe assessed patients enrolled in a prospective cohort study. All recruited patients had suffered a first acute stroke episode and been admitted to nine university hospitals in Korea between August 2012 and June 2015. We analyzed patient and stroke characteristics, comorbidities, prevalence of post-stroke medical complications, and functional outcomes at time of discharge and 3, 6, and 12 months after stroke onset.ResultsOf 10,625 patients with acute stroke, 2,210 (20.8%) presented with medical complications including bladder dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, sleep disturbance, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection. In particular, complications occurred more frequently in older patients and in patients with hemorrhagic strokes, more co-morbidities, severe initial motor impairment, or poor swallowing function. In-hospital medical complications were significantly correlated with poor functional outcomes at all time points.ConclusionPost-stroke medical complications affect functional recovery. The majority of complications are preventable and treatable; therefore, the functional outcomes of patients with stroke can be improved by providing timely, appropriate care. Special care should be provided to elderly patients with comorbid risk factors.

“…Previous studies have shown the beneficial effects of physical activity on balance in elderly [31,32], after ankle instabilities or fractures [1] or on the quality of life in people with chronic diseases [33,34]. The effects of physical exercises on postural balance have been investigated by Jakobsen et al They found an improvement in postural control after 12 weeks of training [35].…”

Background and Study aim. Balance ability has a fundamental role in many activities of daily living, as well in athletic activities. The Balance Error Scoring System is a valid and reliable test used to evaluate postural balance. The aim of this study was to assess the postural balance in active and sedentary healthy young individuals. Material and Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate the balance performance in forty-four healthy young individuals (mean age 21.69±4.87 years), based on their physical activity level. Balance was assessed using the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), and the total number of errors was scored, for the non-dominant limb (the left leg for both groups). The errors were counted for each of the six situations (double leg stance, single leg stance and tandem stance, on hard and soft surface). Results. Group 1 consisted of twenty-two active subjects (mean age 21.18±2.32 years, 59.09% females), with a BESS score of 9.87±1.6. The sedentary group (group 2), with twenty-two young subjects (mean age 22.22±6.61 years, 59.09% females), scored a significantly higher BESS score for the sedentary group (15.48±2.24) (p<0.001). No gender differences were recorded. Conclusions. Physically active young people have a better postural balance than do the sedentary ones, as scored with the BESS.

“…The precision of the IADL scale is sensible even when patients experience MCI, while the accuracy of the ADL scale is higher when patients experience more severe cognitive impairment and dementia [24,25]. Depression is associated with a substantial reduction in quality of life [26]. Depression can be seen more often with ageing.…”

Recent evidence shows that many vascular risk factors (VRFs) contribute to the cognitive decline. The aim of the study was to evaluate the cognitive decline, depression and the occurrence of subclinical atherosclerosis and the association between cognitive decline and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and VRFs versus patients without AF but with VRFs. After statistical analysis, we concluded that cognitive decline is more common in patients with AF and VRFs than in those without AF, but with VRFs, and we consider it is mandatory to identify and prevent cognitive changes. Our findings suggest a direct association between cognitive decline and AF, age, risk factors, cognitive parameters, hemodynamic changes (LVEF) and subclinical atherosclerosis (IMT).
