“…Patients with lesions involving left-hemisphere prefrontal or basal ganglia structures had a higher frequency of depressive disorder (75%) than other left-hemisphere lesions (8%) or those with right-hemisphere lesions (29%) (3) . However, studies investigating the relationship between injury localization and depression are contradictory (4,5) . Therefore, further investigations are necessary, specially considering the cognitive issues in right-hemisphere.…”

Purpose: This study investigated the influence of suggestive signs of depression (SSD) in right-hemisphere brain-damaged (RHD) patients following a stroke on their cognitive performance measured by a brief neuropsychological assessment battery. Methods: Forty-two adults with RHD after a single episode of stroke and 84 matched controls participated in this study. They were assessed by means of the Geriatric Depression Scale and by Brief Neuropsychological Assessment Battery NEUPSILIN. Results: Almost half of the patients showed SSD. The RHD group with SSD (RHD+) showed poorer performance in at least one task among all evaluated cognitive domains (concentrated attention, visual perception, working memory, episodic verbal memory and semantic memory, auditory and written language, constructional praxia and verbal fluency). Conclusion: The association of depression and RHD seems to enhance the occurrence and the severity of cognitive déficits. A brief neuropsychological assessment can be useful to identify cognitive impairment caused by this neuropsychiatric disorder.

“…The majority of women were treated with antidepressive drug (51.7%). Women seem to have twice more likely to experience post-stroke depression than men [36]. The length of stay was longer than in a study from Croatia (14.21 days vs. 5.4 days) [37].…”

Volume 6 -Issue 1 of this study is to determine the characteristics of ischemic stroke in Women and to compare vascular risk factors, stroke severity and clinical outcome between patients aged under and older 50 years in a tertiary hospital in Burkina Faso. Methodology Study areaBurkina Faso is a French speaking country in West Africa region. It covers an area of 274,200 square kilometers with an estimated population of 19,632,147 inhabitants in 2017. The country currently has 5 national Teaching University hospitals, including the first, the Yalgado Ouedraogo hospital in Ouagadougou. In this hospital, stroke management is provided by the emergency department, the resuscitation unit, the neurology department and the cardiology department. The neurology department consists of 3 neurologists and 15 residents in neurology. Its capacity of reception is of 23 beds.

“…These findings supported by previous studies reported that women have higher probability of depression as compared to men. [ 27 30 ] It may be that female patients were more reserve and vulnerable to get more psychological and social problems resulting more psychological disorders. Literature shows that there is no specific difference for occurrence of depression in survivors with left hemisphere lesion[ 31 32 33 34 35 ] and right hemisphere lesion.…”

Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and loss of productive life in developing countries, including India. Ischemic stroke accounts for 85% of all types of stroke with a prevalence of 5%–15% among acute stroke incidents. The prevalence of poststroke depression among acute stroke survivors is varied from 5 to 54%. The study focused on depression among stroke survivors who actively involved in a home-based rehabilitation. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted by enrolling 138 stroke survivors consecutively at tertiary care public hospital, North India. A sociodemographic and clinical profile sheet was used to seek information on personal and clinical variables. Information on disability, depression, performance in the activity of daily living, and degree of stroke severity was ascertained by using the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS), Physical Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Barthel Index, and National Institutes of Health Stroke (NIHSS). After binary logistic regression model, a multivariate logistic regression was applied to detect the independent predictor of depression. Results: Over 86% (119) of the stroke survivors had no symptoms of depression, and only 14% (19) were reported to have symptoms of depression. Poststroke depression found significant association with disability ( P = 0.029) and functional independence ( P = 0.0001). A significant difference was observed in the gender ( P = 0.018), types of stroke ( P = 0.0001), and location of lesion ( P = 0.0001) with depression. Binary logistic regression model shows that disability (MRS) status of stroke survivor ( P < 0.0001; 95% CI 1.998–2.638) and functional independence (BI) ( P < 0.0001; 95% CI –0.034–0.020) are same as independent predictors for depression. Conclusion: Clinician should use the community reintegration, referral, and mandatory screening of the stroke survivors at follow-up visit to rule out the probability of occurrence of poststroke depression.
