Auditory hallucinations are uncommon phenomena which can be directly caused by acute stroke, mostly described after lesions of the brain stem, very rarely reported after cortical strokes. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of this phenomenon. In a cross sectional study, 641 stroke patients were followed in the period between 1996–2000. Each patient underwent comprehensive investigation and follow-up. Four patients were found to have post cortical stroke auditory hallucinations. All of them occurred after an ischemic lesion of the right temporal lobe. After no more than four months, all patients were symptom-free and without therapy. The fact the auditory hallucinations may be of cortical origin must be taken into consideration in the treatment of stroke patients. The phenomenon may be completely reversible after a couple of months.

<p>Stroke adalah suatu kondisi dimana pasokan darah ke otak terganggu sehingga bagian tubuh yang dikendalikan oleh area otak yang rusak tidak dapat berfungsi dengan baik. Penyebab stroke antara lain adalah terjadinya penyumbatan pada pembuluh darah (stroke iskemik) atau pecahnya pembuluh darah (stroke hemoragik). Pasien yang terkena stroke harus segera ditangani secepatnya karena sel otak dapat mati dalam hitungan menit. Tindakan penanganan stroke secara cepat dan tepat dapat mengurangi resiko kerusakan otak dan mencegah terjadinya komplikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan perangkat lunak yang dapat membaca dan menganalisis citra CT scan dari otak, dan kemudian secara otomatis memprediksi apakah citra CT scan tersebut stroke iskemik atau stroke hemoragik. Data citra CT scan berasal dari Rumah Sakit Umum Haji Surabaya yang diambil selama periode Januari-Mei 2019 dan berasal dari 102 pasien yang terindikasi stroke. Sebelum data gambar tersebut diolah dengan menggunakan beberapa algoritma mesin pembelajaran, data tersebut melalui tahap pre-processing yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas citra meliputi konversi citra, pemotongan citra, penskalaan, greyscaling, penghilangan noise dan augmentasi. Tahap selanjutnya adalah ekstraksi fitur menggunakan metode Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk membandingkan kinerja lima algoritma mesin pembelajaran yaitu Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Neural Network, Support Vector Machine dan Deep Learning yang diterapkan untuk memprediksi penyakit stroke. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa algoritma Deep Learning menghasilkan tingkat performansi paling tinggi yaitu nilai akurasi 96.78%, presisi 97.59% dan recall 95.92%.</p><p> </p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p><em>Stroke is a condition in which the blood supply to the brain is interrupted so that parts of the body that are controlled by damaged brain areas cannot function properly. Causes of strokes include blockages in blood vessels (ischemic stroke) or rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). Stroke patients must be treated as soon as possible because brain cells can die within minutes. The handling of stroke patients quickly can reduce the risk of brain damage and prevent complications. This study aims to develop software that can read and analyze CT scan images from the brain, and then automatically predict whether the CT scan images are ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke. The CT scan image data came from the Surabaya Hajj General Hospital which was taken during the January-May 2019 period and came from 102 patients who had indicated a stroke. Before the image data is processed using several machine learning algorithms, the data goes through a pre-processing phase which aims to improve image quality including image conversion, image cutting, scaling, greyscaling, noise removal and augmentation. The next step is feature extraction using the Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) method. This study also aims to compare the performance of five machine learning algorithms, namely Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines and Deep Learning which are applied to predict stroke. The experimental results show that the deep learning algorithm produces the highest level of performance where the accuracy value is 96.78%, 97.59% precision and 95.92% recall.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p>

Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a disease which is related to a functional disorder of the brain due to the blood vessel blockage by a blood clot, or by the narrowing of an artery or some arteries that lead to the brain which causes weakness of muscular strength. One of the non-pharmacological therapies, which are beneficial to non-hemorrhagic stroke patients, is hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy is a therapy which utilizes water to cure or relieve various complaints. One of which is the complaint of how to strengthen muscular strength. The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of warm footbath hydrotherapy to increase the muscular strength of non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. This research used the quasi-experimental research method ith pre-test and post-test nonequivalent control group design. Non-probability sampling with purposive sampling was used to determine its samples. The samples consisted of 40 respondents, into two groups: intervention and control group. The data of the research were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon’s Test and Mann Whitney’s Test. The result of the research shows that the footbath hydrotherapy had an effect on the muscular strength of the non-hemorrhagic stroke patients as indicated by the p-value = 0.000, and there was a difference between the control group and the intervention group where the p-value was 0. 008. The footbath hydrotherapy affected the muscular strength of non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. Thus, nurses as health practitioners are expected to administer warm footbath hydrotherapy to increase the muscular strength of non-hemorrhagic stroke patients.

Abstract Background: The burden of stroke in China has increased dramatically in the past 30 years. Specifying the treatment according to the side of stroke in the brain might be an effective way to reduce the burden. Current imaging tools to identify the side of brain stroke, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are expensive and time-consuming. Hence, there is a great need for a rapid and inexpensive assessment. In this case, retinal image analysis is a possible approach for stroke side identification. This study aimed at determining the association between retinal characteristics and the stroke side and to establish a predictive model for further investigation.Methods: A total of 168 patients (89 left-sided stroke patients and 79 right-sided stroke patients) were recruited from the Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in the study. Retinal characteristics were analysed using an automated retinal image analysis (ARIA) system. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify and develop predictive models.Results: Each unit increase in the right eye bifurcation coefficient of arterioles increased the risk of right-side stroke by 7.523 times (95% CI, 1.823–31.044). Additionally, an elevated bifurcation coefficient of venules in the right eye also increased the risk of stroke in the right side of the brain, with an odds ratio (OR) of 7.377 (95% CI, 1.771–30.724). A complex retinal composite score was also associated with a higher risk of right-side stroke (OR, 4.955; 95% CI, 3.061–8.022).Conclusions: This study demonstrated that retinal images can provide useful information for stroke side identification, and specific retinal characteristics may help predict the occurrence of stroke.Trial registration: Acupuncture Clinical Trail Redistry, ChiCTR1800019647, Registered 01 November 2018, AMCTR-OPC-18000228.

Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide after heart disease. About80% stroke cases are ischemic stroke. One of 4 people with ischemic stroke had cardioembolicstroke. Ninety percent of cardiac emboli obstruct cerebral blood vessels and causedneurological deficit. Cardioembolic stroke may be due to abnormalities in cardiac walls,rhythm, valve, or function. Stroke patients with cardiac abnormalities have poor prognosis. Thisretrospective descriptive study was done in May-June 2017. We collected 103 medical recordsof stroke patients from Department of Neurology, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital duringJanuary 2015- March 2016. Data regarding sex, age, education level, economic status, andcardiac abnormalities were recorded. Majority of subjects were female (53.4%). The mostfrequent age group was 45-65 years old (49.51%). Most subjects had low educational level(76.7%) and low economic status (77.67%). Among subjects, 41.75% had cardiac rhythmabnormalities, 29.13% had cardiac wall abnormalities, 14.56% had cardiac valveabnormalities, and 14.56% had cardiac function abnormalities. The most common cause ofcardioembolic stroke was atrial fibrillation.Keywords: cardioembolic stroke epidemiology, patient characteristics, cardiac disease
