Home-based rehabilitation versus hospital-based rehabilitation for stroke patients in post-acute care stage: Comparison on the quality of life
CONCLUSIONS: The home-based rehabilitation was of lower intensity and duration than the hospital-based one, but it still achieved a significant improvement in QOL for the PAC stroke patients. The hospital-based rehabilitation offered more time and treatment sessions. Therefore hospital-based patients responded with better QOL outcomes than the home-based patients.PMID:37221114 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.05.007

Massive pulmonary embolism with acute cor pulmonale
A 51-year-old immobilised man, while recovering at stroke rehabilitation, complained of sudden onset chest pain prior to an unconscious collapse. Observations on arrival were heart rate 120 bpm, blood pressure 80/60 mm Hg and oxygen saturations of 90% on 10 L of oxygen. ECG demonstrated new right bundle branch block (RBBB) with classical S1Q3T3 repolarisation abnormality of acute right heart strain (figure 1A). Urgent CT pulmonary angiogram revealed saddle pulmonary embolism with extensive thrombus burden (figure 1B). Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed acute right ventricular (RV) overload with c...

Interventions for preventing silent cerebral infarcts in people with sickle cell disease.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified no trials for preventing silent cerebral infarcts in adults, or in children who do not have HbSS SCD.Long-term red blood cell transfusions may reduce the incidence of silent cerebral infarcts in children with abnormal TCD velocities, but may have little or no effect on children with normal TCD velocities. In children who are at higher risk of stroke and have not had previous long-term transfusions, long-term red blood cell transfusions probably reduce the risk of stroke, and other SCD-related complications (acute chest syndrome and painful crises).In children and adolescents at high risk of strok...

Red blood cell transfusion to treat or prevent complications in sickle cell disease: an overview of Cochrane reviews.
CONCLUSIONS: This overview provides support from two high-quality Cochrane Reviews for the use of RBC transfusions in preventing stroke in children and adolescents at high risk of stroke (abnormal TCDs or SCI) and evidence that it may decrease the risk of SCI in children with abnormal TCD velocities. In addition RBC transfusions may reduce the risk of ACS and painful crisis in this population.This overview highlights the lack of high-quality evidence in adults with SCD and the number of reviews that have no evidence for the use of RBC transfusions across a spectrum of SCD complications. Also of concern is the variable and ...
