This article reports on research investigating barriers to achieving patient-centered communication (PCC) with patients who have stroke-related communication disorders. A focus group, including people who had strokes and their family members, identified PCC issues they encounter when communicating with health care providers. The two key themes that emerged from this research were the desire to be treated with respect and the importance of allowing adequate time for a person with a speech disorder to communicate. Suggestions are given for improving PCC with people who have stroke-related communication disorders.

Periodontitis, a non-communicable chronic inflammation disease resulting from dysbiosis of the oral microbiota, has been demonstrated to have a positive association with the risk of ischemic stroke (IS). The major periodontal pathogens contribute to the progression of stroke-related risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Transcriptional changes in periodontitis pathogens have been detected in oral samples from stroke patients, suggesting a new conceptual framework involving microorganisms.

Article Synopsis
  • About one third of stroke survivors experience post-stroke depression, which negatively impacts their quality of life, especially in those with chronic left-hemisphere stroke and a history of aphasia.
  • A study involving 92 stroke survivors and 70 controls used the Beck Depression Inventory-II to measure depression and various scales to assess stroke-related disabilities, revealing that stroke survivors had significantly higher depression scores.
  • The analysis indicated that lower cognitive, social participation, and perceived recovery scores were strongly linked to higher depression levels, highlighting the complexity of factors influencing depression post-stroke.
