Validation of the short-form Health Literacy Scale in patients with stroke
Stroke is a chronic disease and has become the leading cause of death and serious, long-term disability globally [1]. More than 7.1‰ of the world population are affected by stroke annually [1]. To manage chronic diseases and long-term disabilities requires the active participation of the patients [2–5], and this can only occur when patients have adequate health literacy [6–9]. Health literacy is defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions [10].

Stroke researchers confirm role of frontal lesions in response to prism treatment
(Kessler Foundation) 'Our research shows that patients with frontal cortical lesions may benefit from prism adaptation treatment for spatial neglect,' said Dr. AM Barrett. 'Early identification of patients with hemiparesis and frontal lesions could reduce the substantial costs of stroke care and improve public health. Because spatial neglect often goes undetected, this is a major challenge. Meeting that challenge requires educating stroke professionals about targeted prism treatment, and conducting further research on a larger scale.'
