Background And Purpose: Knowledge about the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in young stroke patients, as well as its associated factors and outcomes, is scarce. Our objective was to analyse it.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the Spain Nationwide Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS) (2016-2020), including ischaemic stroke (IS) patients aged 18 and 50 years, was conducted.

Research on the benefits of non-invasive brain stimulation in stroke patients to improve executive functions is scarce. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in combination with cognitive training for the rehabilitation of executive functions in acute and subacute stroke patients as well as to explore the underlying physiological mechanisms. A triple-blinded, randomized-controlled clinical trial will be conducted involving 60 stroke patients with frontal or basal ganglia lesions and a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score less than 26.

Article Synopsis
- Stroke is a major health problem, causing many disabilities and deaths around the world.
- A new virtual reality program called RESET aims to help people with stroke improve their daily life and abilities through fun, game-like activities.
- The RESET trial will test if this VR program is better than regular rehab by comparing it with standard care and another VR program over 10 weeks.
Background And Purpose: The purpose was to perform a nationwide epidemiological study of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in Spain, analysing background incidences and seasonal variation and trying to identify incidence changes during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) years.
Methods: This was an observational study collecting all GBS diagnoses from the National Epidemiological Surveillance Network collected by the Ministry of Health. Patients discharged with GBS as the main diagnosis and admitted during 2018-2021 were included.
