Abstract
This study compared the neuropsychological performance of two post-stroke groups, one undergoing rehabilitation and the other not receiving any intervention, on the acute and chronic stroke phases, and explored sociodemographic and neurological variables associated with changes in performance over time. Sixty-three adults underwent neuropsychological assessment with the Cognitive Screening Instrument (TRIACOG) less than thirty days after having a stroke and were reassessed three to six months after stroke. Thirty-eight participants did not undertake rehabilitation and twenty-five did physiotherapy and/or speech therapy between the two time points. The frequency of cognitive deficits (between groups) and the range of cognitive assessment scores over time (between and within groups) were analyzed. There was a significant decrease in the frequency of neuropsychological deficits and improvement on neuropsychological assessment scores over time only in the group undergoing rehabilitation. Severity of the neurological condition, years of education and being in rehabilitation explained the longitudinal changes in several cognitive domains measured by TRIACOG. Engaging in rehabilitation within three to six months post-stroke is crucial for enhancing the recovery of neuropsychological deficits. Cognitive screening instruments like TRIACOG can be used by health professionals to identify stroke-related neuropsychological changes and plan interventions.

Abstract
Significant advancements have been made in recent years in the acute treatment and secondary prevention of stroke. However, a large proportion of stroke survivors will go on to have enduring physical, cognitive, and psychological disabilities from suboptimal post-stroke brain health. Impaired brain health following stroke thus warrants increased attention from clinicians and researchers alike. In this narrative review based on an open timeframe search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, we define post-stroke brain health and appraise the body of research focused on modifiable vascular, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors for optimizing post-stroke brain health. In addition, we make clinical recommendations for the monitoring and management of post-stroke brain health at major post-stroke transition points centered on four key intertwined domains: cognition, psychosocial health, physical functioning, and global vascular health. Finally, we discuss potential future work in the field of post-stroke brain health, including the use of remote monitoring and interventions, neuromodulation, multi-morbidity interventions, enriched environments, and the need to address inequities in post-stroke brain health. As post-stroke brain health is a relatively new, rapidly evolving, and broad clinical and research field, this narrative review aims to identify and summarize the evidence base to help clinicians and researchers tailor their own approach to integrating post-stroke brain health into their practices.

Abstract
Objectives Post-stroke depression (PSD) may be associated with the altered brain network property. This study aimed at exploring the brain network characteristics of PSD under the classic cognitive task, i.e., the oddball task, in order to promote our understanding of the pathogenesis and the diagnosis of PSD. Methods Nineteen stroke survivors with PSD and 18 stroke survivors with no PSD (non-PSD) were recruited. The functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) covering the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was recorded during the oddball task state and the resting state. The brain network characteristics were extracted using the graph theory and compared between the PSD and the non-PSD subjects. In addition, the classification performance between the PSD and non-PSD subjects was evaluated using features in the resting and the task state, respectively. Results Compared with the resting state, more brain network characteristics in the task state showed significant differences between the PSD and non-PSD groups, resulting in better classification performance. In the task state, the assortativity, clustering coefficient, characteristic path length, and local efficiency of the PSD subjects was larger compared with the non-PSD subjects while the global efficiency of the PSD subjects was smaller than that of the non-PSD subjects. Conclusion The altered brain network properties associated with PSD in the cognitive task state were more distinct compared with the resting state, and the ability of the brain network to resist attack and transmit information was reduced in PSD patients in the task state. Significance This study demonstrated the feasibility and superiority of investigating brain network properties in the task state for the exploration of the pathogenesis and new diagnosis methods for PSD.

The Impact of Post-Stroke Depressive Symptoms on Cognitive Performance in Women and in Men: A 4 Month Prospective Study. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:1554. [PMID: 37511929 PMCID: PMC10381498 DOI: 10.3390/life13071554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Depressive symptoms have been associated with cognitive impairment after stroke, and women may be specifically affected. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate gender-specific characteristics in the relationship between changes in depression severity and changes in cognitive performance after stroke. Methods: We prospectively evaluated 73 patients without a previous history of depression in the first and fourth months after a first ischemic stroke. The severity of depressive symptoms was assessed using the 31-item version of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, and executive function, attention, working memory, and verbal fluency were assessed using a neuropsychological battery. Results: We included 46 (63.0%) men and 27 (36.9%) women, with mean ages of 55.2 (SD ± 15.1) and 46.8 (SD ± 14.7) years, respectively. We found significant improvement in the digit span forward and Stroop dots from month 1 to month 4 post stroke for both men and women. Women, but not men, presented a correlation between changes in phonemic verbal fluency and changes in the 31-item version of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression scores. Improvement in depression was correlated with improvement in verbal fluency, and worsening in depression was correlated with worsening in verbal fluency. Conclusions: Our results suggest that women might be more vulnerable to the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive performance, and improvement of depression may be necessary for women's improvement in phonemic verbal fluency from the first to the fourth month after a stroke. We did not adjust the results for multiple comparisons. Thus, our findings might be considered preliminary, and confirmatory studies, also focusing on specific characteristics of women that could explain these differences, are warranted.

Abstract
Background Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common psychiatric complication of mental disorders after stroke. Acupuncture for PSD is effective and has few adverse effects. As a classical complementary and alternative therapy, acupuncture is often used in combination with antidepressants for PSD. However, there is a wide variety of acupuncture therapies, and the efficacy of different acupuncture varies. In this study, a network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to assess the clinical efficacy of different acupuncture combined with antidepressants for the treatment of PSD. Methods A comprehensive search of PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wan-Fang databases for published randomized controlled trials of acupuncture combined with antidepressants for the treatment of PSD was conducted. The time frame for the literature search was from the date of database creation to April 30, 2022. The Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2.0) was used to evaluate the bias risk of the included studies. Data analysis was performed by STATA 14.0 software. Results A total of 38 literatures with 2,898 patients involving nine acupuncture therapies were included. NMA results were as follows: moxibustion plus antidepressants had the best efficacy in terms of improving total effective rate. Conventional acupuncture plus antidepressants was the most effective in improving HAMD scores. In terms of improving SDS scores, acupressure plus antidepressants was the most effective. In terms of improving NIHSS scores, moxibustion plus antidepressants showed the best results. Conclusion A comparison of the efficacy indicators of the nine different acupuncture therapies combined showed that moxibustion plus antidepressants, conventional acupuncture plus antidepressants and acupressure plus antidepressants were superior in the treatment of PSD. Based on the shortcomings of the existing studies, this conclusion needs to be validated by additional high-quality randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common mental disorder in post-stroke patients. Yet, the recommendations related to nursing in clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have not been systematically sorted out. This study aimed to assess the methodological quality of current CPGs related to PSD and develop an algorithm using nursing process as a framework for nurses. DESIGN A systematic assessment of CPGs. INTERVENTIONS A systematic search for relevant CPGs published between 2017 and 2022 was conducted. Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ instrument was used to assess methodological quality. Recommendations related to nursing practice from high-quality CPGs were summarised and developed into an algorithm to provide reference for the standardised construction of nursing practice scheme. RESULTS 497 records were initially identified from database searches and other sources. Finally, 12 CPGs were included, of which 6 were rated as high quality. A total of 35 recommendations from the 6 highest-scoring CPGs were summarised and used to develop an algorithm. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated deficiencies and variability in current available CPGs. Based on six high-quality CPGs, we developed an algorithm to facilitate nurses' adherence to CPGs and contribute to evidence-based nursing. In the future, more nursing specialists should participate in the formulation of the CPGs to provide nursing insights.

Abstract
Depression is common in older individuals and is associated with high disability and increased mortality, yet the factors predicting late-life depression (LLD) are poorly understood. The relationship between of depressive disorder, age- and disease-related processes have generated pathogenic hypotheses and provided new treatment options. LLD syndrome is often related to a variety of vascular mechanisms, in particular hypertension, cerebral small vessel disease, white matter lesions, subcortical vascular impairment, and other processes (e.g., inflammation, neuroimmune regulatory dysmechanisms, neurodegenerative changes, amyloid accumulation) that may represent etiological factors by affecting frontolimbic and other neuronal networks predisposing to depression. The "vascular depression" hypothesis suggests that cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and vascular risk factors may predispose, induce or perpetuate geriatric depressive disorders. It is based on the presence of various cerebrovascular risk factors in many patients with LLD, its co-morbidity with cerebrovascular lesions, and the frequent development of depression after stroke. Other findings related to vascular depression are atrophy of the medial temporal cortex or generalized cortical atrophy that are usually associated with cognitive impairment. Other pathogenetic hypotheses of LLD, such as metabolic or inflammatory ones, are briefly discussed. Treatment planning should consider there may be a modest response to antidepressants, but several evidence-based and novel treatment options for LLD exist, such as electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, neurobiology-based psychotherapy, as well as antihypertension and antiinflammatory drugs. However, their effectiveness needs further investigation, and new methodologies for prevention and treatment of depression in older individuals should be developed.

Abstract
Background Stroke and depression are common diseases that affect quality of life (QoL). Although some recent studies have investigated the association between the two diseases, studies that examined the association between stroke, depression, and QoL are rare, with large-scale national-level studies lacking. We aimed to investigate the association between depression and QoL in stroke patients. Methods Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) IV–VII conducted in 2008–2018 were used, and 45,741 adults who were aged >40 years and had no missing data for stroke and depression were included in the analysis. The participants were first grouped by prevalence of stroke, and further divided by prevalence of depression. Results The overall prevalence of stroke was 3.2%, and the incidence was 9% higher in men than in women. Multiple logistic regression was performed after adjusting for demographic factors, health-related factors, and disease-related factors. The results confirmed that the stroke group with depression had a lower overall health-related quality of life, measured using EQ-5D, score compared to the stroke group without depression (-0.15). Moreover, the concurrent stroke and depression treatment group had the highest OR of 7.28 (95% CI 3.28–16.2) for the anxiety/depression domain. Conclusion Depression was strongly associated with QoL in stroke patients. This association was more evident in stroke patients undergoing treatment for depression. Thus, clinical approaches that take QoL into consideration are needed for stroke patients with depression.
