Family Caregiver ’s Positive, Negative, and Ambivalent Feelings Towards Stroke Survivors: Association with Psychological Well-Being
AbstractAmbivalence is the simultaneous experience of positive and negative feelings toward a specific person. Recent research suggested ambivalence is negatively associated with psychological well-being, and this association was mainly driven by negative feelings and not affected by the presence of positive feelings. This paper questioned the assumption and aimed to examine the relationship between caregiving ambivalence and psychological well-being, by disaggregating the positive and negative components of ambivalence. The study comprised data from a cross-sectional questionnaire survey with 190 family caregivers of stro...

Far wall plaque segmentation and area measurement in common and internal carotid artery ultrasound using U-series architectures: An unseen Artificial Intelligence paradigm for stroke risk assessment
Comput Biol Med. 2022 Aug 28;149:106017. doi: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2022.106017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke risk assessment using deep learning (DL) requires automated, accurate, and real-time risk assessment while ensuring compact model size. Previous DL paradigms suffered from challenges like memory size, low speed, and complex in nature lacking multi-ethnic, and multi-institution databases. This research segments and measures the area of the plaque far wall of the common carotid (CCA) and internal carotid arteries (ICA) in B-mode ultrasound using four types of solo, namely, UNet, UNet+, UNet++, and UNet+++, and...

Influence of Combined Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Motor Training on Corticospinal Excitability in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
Conclusion This proof-of-principle study evaluated the influence of cathodal contralesional tDCS on corticospinal excitability in pediatric participants with UCP. A hypothesized decrease in contralesional excitability was noted in participants in the Active+CIMT group, however, the efficacy of tDCS to modulate corticospinal excitability was not statistically different than the Sham+CIMT group. A more detailed understanding of how tDCS impacts M1 neurophysiology will be essential to inform future clinical trials on the optimal dosing parameters, based on individual brain circuitry, to explore the potential functional benef...

Long-term Fine Particulate Matter Exposure and Nonaccidental and Cause-specific Mortality in a Large National Cohort of Chinese Men
Conclusions: Long-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with nonaccidental, CVD, lung cancer, and COPD mortality in China. The IER estimator may underestimate the excess relative risk of cause-specific mortality due to long-term exposure to PM2.5 over the exposure range experienced in China and other low- and middle-income countries. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1673 Received: 24 February 2017 Revised: 01 September 2017 Accepted: 05 September 2017 Published: 07 November 2017 Address correspondence to M.

Management of carotid artery stenosis
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2021 Dec 15;30(4):123-127.ABSTRACTThe incidence of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is more common in Asians compared to Caucasian (1). It is found there is a decreased incidence of ischemic stroke in Northern America but increased incidence in Africa, Mongolia and southeast Asia. In the epidemiological study of carotid artery stenosis (CAS), Framingham study showed the prevalence of significant extracranial CAS was 7% in women and 9% in men (2). Among all strokes in Caucasian population, 20 to 30% were due to extracranial CAS and 5 to 10% due to intracranial atherosclerosis (3, 4). Northern Manhatt...
