Advances in stroke care will have the greatest effect on stroke outcome if care is delivered within a regional stroke system designed to improve both efficiency and effectiveness. The ultimate goal of stroke care is to minimize ongoing injury, emergently recanalize acute vascular occlusions, and begin secondary measures to maximize functional recovery. These efforts will provide stroke patients with the greatest opportunity for a return to previous quality of life and decrease the overall societal burden of stroke.

Importance: Hypertension underpins significant global morbidity and mortality. Early lifestyle intervention and treatment are effective in reducing adverse outcomes. Artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiography (AI-ECG) has been shown to identify a broad spectrum of subclinical disease and may be useful for predicting incident hypertension.

Background: Occupational therapists strive to provide evidence-based cognitive rehabilitation for everyday functional activities in community-based rehabilitation.
Objective: In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP) Intervention in enhancing and maintaining task performance and cognitive strategy use during home-based rehabilitation for individuals with cognitive challenges following acquired brain injury.
Material And Methods: This study is a systematic replication of a single-case experimental designs using multiple baselines applied to three participants (67+ years old) undergoing nine PRPP Intervention sessions.

Background: Predicting treated language improvement (TLI) and transfer to the untreated language (cross-language generalization, CLG) after speech-language therapy in bilingual individuals with poststroke aphasia is crucial for personalized treatment planning. This study evaluated machine learning models to predict TLI and CLG and identified the key predictive features (eg, patient severity, demographics, and treatment variables) aligning with clinical evidence.
Methods: Forty-eight Spanish-English bilingual individuals with poststroke aphasia received 20 sessions of semantic feature-based naming treatment in either their first or second language.
