Assessment of atherosclerosis in ischemic stroke by means of ultrasound of extracranial/intracranial circulation and serum, urine, and tissue biomarkers
Curr Med Chem. 2022 Aug 17. doi: 10.2174/0929867329666220817123442. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is a common practice to take into consideration: age, diabetes, smoking, treated and untreated systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol for the prediction of atherosclerosis and stroke. There are, however, ultrasound markers in use for the assessment of atherosclerosis and the evaluation of stroke risk. Two areas of investigation are of interest: the carotid artery and the intracranial arterial circulation. Again, within the domain of the carotid artery, two ultrasonic markers have at...

How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices. It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...
