   ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ALTERED HS-CRP LEVELS AND  COGNITIVE FUNCTION OF ISCHEMIC STROKE PATIENTSABSTRACTIntroduction: The incidence of cognitive impairment in acute ischemic stroke patients is increasing. The mechanism of the inflammatory effect, such as  elevated hs-CRP level, a  non-specific inflammatory marker  sensitive to chronic inflammation due to hypoperfusion as well other vascular risk, is thought to have an effect on cognitive function.Aims: To determine the relationship of cognitive function changes in acute phase of ischemic stroke with hs-CRP level changes on day 3 and day 7 after onset.Methods: This was a cross sectional study of 31 first-timer ischemic stroke patients who met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The level of hs-CRP was checked on the 3rd day and 7th day after onset, while MoCA-Ina was assessed on the 7th day after onset. Cognitive disturbance was considered if MoCA <26. Analyses was done using SPSS 2.0Results: The average onset of day 3 Hs-CRP concentration was 0.66 (0.12-16.67)mg/dl and the onset of day 7 was 5.455 (0.14-17.34)mg/dl. The mean change of hs-CRP level between 3 day and 7 day after onset was -0,16 (-3.32-4.95). There was a significant correlation between elevated hs-CRP levels on day 3 and day 7 after onset with cognitive function of acute ischemic stroke patients.Discussion: There was a significant correlation between elevated hs-CRP levels on day 3 and day 7 after onset with cognitive function of acute ischemic stroke patients.Keyword: Acute ischemic stroke, hs-CRP, MoCA-Ina scoresABSTRAKPendahuluan: Insidens penurunan fungsi kognitif pada pasien stroke iskemik akut semakin meningkat. Hal ini diduga dipengaruhi oleh mekanisme efek inflamasi, meliputi peningkatan kadar high sensitive-C reactive protein (hs-CRP), salah satu penanda inflamasi non-spesifik yang sangat sensitif pada inflamasi kronis, akibat hipoperfusi maupun karena risiko vaskuler lainnya.Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan perubahan fungsi kognitif pasien stroke iskemik fase akut dengan perubahan kadar hs-CRP hari ke-3 dan hari ke-7 setelah awitan.Metode: Studi potong lintang terhadap penderita stroke iskemik pertama kali yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Dilakukan pemeriksaan kadar hs-CRP hari ke-3 dan hari ke-7 setelah awitan dan MoCA-Ina pada hari ke-7 setelah awitan. Fungsi kognitif dinyatakan terganggu jika MoCA-Ina <26. Analisis data menggunakan program SPSS 22.0.Hasil: Didapatkan rerata kadar Hs-CRP hari ke-3 setelah awitan adalah 0,66 (0,12-16,67)mg/dl dan hari ke-7 setelah awitan adalah 5,455 (0,14-17,34)mg/dl. Dengan rerata perubahan kadar hs-CRP awitan hari ke-3 dan awitan hari ke-7 adalah -0,16 (-3,32-4,95). Didapatkan hubungan yang bermakna antara perubahan kadar hs-CRP hari ke-3 setelah awitan dan hari ke-7 setelah awitan dengan fungsi kognitif pasien stroke iskemik akut.Kesimpulan: Didapatkan hubungan yang bermakna antara peningkatan kadar hs-CRP pada hari ke-7 dan kadar hari ke-3 dengan fungsi kognitif pasien stroke iskemik akut.Kata kunci: hs-CRP, MoCA-Ina, stroke iskemik akut

Purpose and Objective: There have been limited reports that focused on cognitive impairment in acute ischemic stroke after endovascular treatment. The aim of this study, therefore, was to investigate cognitive function in patient after endovascular treatment in acute phase and at 6 months follow-up. Method: In this prospective study, from December 2016 to November 2018, the patients who were diagnosed as ischemic stroke with occlusion of the internal carotid artery and of the middle cerebral artery and treated with endovascular treatment were enrolled. Cognitive function was assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) test within 5 days of onset and at 6 months follow-up. We defined cognitive impairment as a score of <24 in MoCA-J. Results: 150 patients were enrolled. MoCA-J was feasible in 69 patients (median 76 years; 49 female) (46%), in acute phase (Figure A). 63 patients (91%) had cognitive impairment and no significant differences were found in the naming and the abstraction domains between MoCA-J <24 group and ≧24 group. At 6 months follow-up, 48 patients (median 72 years; 12 female) were assessed with MoCA-J and 35 patients (73%) had cognitive impairment. However, only one patient scored less at 6 months follow-up than in acute phase (Figure B), which resulted in the significant increase in the median MoCA-J score (7 vs. 21, P<0.05) (Figure C) and in all the domains except for the language (P=0.078) (Figure D). Conclusion: In acute phase of ischemic stroke after endovascular treatment, MoCA-J was feasible in about 45%, in which 91% had cognitive impairment. However, at 6 months follow-up, the median MoCA-J score was significantly higher and less number of patients had cognitive impairment. The present results suggest that cognition recovers with time after endovascular treatment in ischemic stroke.

Background: Cognitive impairment is a common condition that may affect up to 50% of stroke patients. Post stroke cognitive impairment is associated with reduced quality of life, which may increase the number of dependency. Recurrent stroke may happen in approximately 25% patients and they have higher rates of cognitive impairment. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the comparison of cognitive function between first ischemic stroke and recurrent ischemic stroke patients in Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Methods: This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional study using the data recruited between the year 2012 - 2016 at the Department of Neurology at the Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. The data collected in this study were demographic data, including age, level of education, and residence, and the clinical data as well. Cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The comparison between the cognitive function between both groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: There were 428 subjects eligible for this study, with 207 subjects categorized as first ischemic stroke group and 221 subjects categorized as recurrent ischemic stroke group. There was a statistically significant difference in MMSE scores between the first ischemic stroke patients (24.90 ± 4.64) and recurrent ischemic stroke patients (22.85 ± 4.64 ) with a p value of 0.002. Conclusion: Recurrent ischemic stroke patients had lower MMSE scores than the first ischemic stroke patients. Clinicians should be more aware in detecting early cognitive impairment in stroke patients and in preventing the incidence of recurrent stroke.

  THE INFLUENCE OF REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION (RTMS) TOWARDS IMPAIRED COGNITIVE FUNCTION AFTER ISCHEMIC STROKEABSTRACTIntroduction: The increasing number of ischemic stroke patients who experience memory disturbances and a long rehabilitation process requires an innovation that can strengthen both existing therapies (medical therapy) and non-invasive stimulation of cognitive rehabilitation in the form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).Aim: To determine effectiveness of rTMS towards impaired cognitive function in ischemic stroke.Methods: This research was conducted using experimental with open clinical trial test method  on ischemic stroke patients suffering from cognitive impairment at Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital and Inggit Clinic, Makassar, from November 2018 until January 2019. Samples were divided into control who was given only medical therapy and treatment group who was given medical therapy and rTMS. Stimulation is given in the form of a high frequency of 10Hz in 2 cycles for 5 consecutive days with a gap of 2 days. MoCA-Ina was used to assess cognitive impairment. The assessment were made on day-1 before therapy and day-15 after therapy. The statistical analysis of correlation among variables was conducted by using Chi-square test with value of p <0.05 which was considered significant.Results: There were 22 samples, 11 in each group. The difference of MoCA-Ina scores in both groups with the final average after 15 days of treatment was 5.27 in the treatment group and 1.45 in control group. This difference is considered significant with the p value of 0.003.Discussion: There was an effect of rTMS therapy on cognitive function disorders after ischemic stroke, in which the change was greater in the treatment group than in the control group.Keywords: Cognitive impairment, ischemic stroke, Montreal Cognitive Assesment Indonesian Version (MoCA-Ina), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)ABSTRAKPendahuluan: Peningkatan jumlah pasien stroke iskemik yang mengalami gangguan memori serta proses rehabilitasi yang lama membutuhkan suatu inovasi yang dapat saling menguatkan antara terapi yang sudah ada (terapi medik) dan stimulasi non-invasif rehabilitasi kognitif berupa repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh intervensi rTMS terhadap fungsi kognitif pascastroke iskemik.Metode: Penelitian eksperimental dengan uji klinis terbuka terhadap pasien stroke iskemik yang menderita gangguan fungsi kognitif di RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo dan Klinik Inggit Medika, Makassar, pada bulan November 2018 hingga Januari 2019.

Ischemic stroke is one of stroke subtype often correlated with disturbance of cognitive function. We conduct an observational study with cross-sectional design of 70 ischemic stroke patients. Objective of this study is to evaluate cognitive differences based on hemispheric lateralization lesions. We used Montreal Cognitive Assessment – Indonesian version (MoCA-Ina) to assess cognitive function resulting on 70 patients, consist of 48 subjects (68.57 %) of left hemispheric stroke and 22 subjects (31.43%) of right hemispheric stroke. As much as 68 subjects (97.14 %) are categorized as having cognitive disturbance. Mean differences of MoCA-Ina was assessed using Mann-Whitney test resulting no significant differences between left vs right hemisphere groups (18.94 + 3.26 vs 19.82 + 3.13; p= 0.320). Further study would warrant lesions lateralizations could affects cognitive performance of ischemic stroke patients.
