Stages and Processes of Change for Weight Loss in Acute Stroke or TIA Patients Living with Obesity.

Background: Obesity is associated with an increased prevalence of vascular risk factors and incidence of stroke. As such weight loss is recommended for patients living with obesity in the secondary prevention of stroke. Few studies, however, have examined the stages and processes of change for weight loss in stroke patients living with obesity.

Deep Versus Lobar Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage: Seizures, Hyperexcitable Patterns, and Clinical Outcomes.

Objectives: To compare electrographic seizures, hyperexcitable patterns, and clinical outcomes in lobar and deep intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Additionally, to characterize electrographic seizure and hyperexcitable pattern predictors in each group and determine seizure risk with thalamic involvement.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
