This Vitamin Could Save Your Life
For years, I’ve recommended that my patients take a special family of super-nutrients with the power to boost their health and save their lives in at least a half a dozen ways. I’m talking about tocotrienols, an especially potent form of vitamin E. Tocotrienols, which comprise four out of the eight types of vitamin E, are powerful antioxidants that until recently were ignored by mainstream medicine. But the patients at my wellness clinic and regular readers of my newsletter will know that I’ve recommended them as a critical nutrient for years. And I do it because almost daily I observe the effects of the...

Impact of Adapted Physical Activity and Therapeutic Patient Education on Functioning and Quality of Life in Patients With Postacute Strokes
Conclusions. Our results confirm that it is feasible and potentially effective to implement APA programs for elderly patients with complex clinical conditions as early as 3 months after a stroke and suggest that, when combined with TPE, the effects of a postrehabilitation APA program are relatively enduring.

Treating Neglect by Body Movements: A Case Report and Follow-Up Study (P3.043)
DISCUSSION: Our initial neglect patient named left-sided objects better when cued to move midline structures to the left. If midline structures are represented more bilaterally in the brain, they may be less affected by body-centered "aiming" bias. Future research would examine whether cueing with the nose/tongue is selectively helpful for patients with more severe neglect or with "aiming" bias and limb akinesia.STUDY SUPPORTED BY: National Institutes of Health and Kessler Foundation.Disclosure: Dr. Chaudhari has nothing to disclose.

Measuring Health-Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL) During Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation (S21.002)
CONCLUSIONS: EQ-5 ratings converged between stroke survivors and clinicians, suggesting it is valid and reliable to measure moderate stroke survivor HRQOL in inpatient rehabilitation. EQ-5 and FIM improvement were poorly associated; HRQOL may independently complement functional outcome assessment in inpatient rehabilitation. Future studies could explore different areas of function to clarify the factor structure of improvement on these measures relative to HRQL.Study Supported by: NIH, Kessler FoundationDisclosure: Dr. Frisina has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation as an...

Report on the 5‘th scientific meeting of the “Verein zur Förderung des Wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses in der Neurologie” (NEUROWIND e.V.) held in Motzen, Germany, Oct. 25th – Oct. 27th, 2013
Abstract From october 25th - 27th 2013, the 5th NEUROWIND e.V. meeting was held in Motzen, Brandenburg, Germany. This year more than 60 doctoral students and postdocs from over 25 different groups working in German university hospitals or research institutes attended the meeting to discuss their latest findings in the fields of neuroimmunology, neurodegeneration and neurovascular research. All participants appreciated the stimulating environment in Motzen, Brandenburg, and people took the opportunity for scientific exchange, discussion about ongoing projects and already started further collaborations. Like in the...

Brain rewires itself after damage or injury, life scientists discover
When the brain's primary "learning center" is damaged, complex new neural circuits arise to compensate for the lost function, say life scientists from UCLA and Australia who have pinpointed the regions of the brain involved in creating those alternate pathways — often far from the damaged site.   The research, conducted by UCLA's Michael Fanselow and Moriel Zelikowsky in collaboration with Bryce Vissel, a group leader of the neuroscience research program at Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research, appears this week in the early online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ...

Boosting 'cellular garbage disposal' can delay the aging process, UCLA biologists report
UCLA life scientists have identified a gene previously implicated in Parkinson's disease that can delay the onset of aging and extend the healthy life span of fruit flies. The research, they say, could have important implications for aging and disease in humans.   The gene, called parkin, serves at least two vital functions: It marks damaged proteins so that cells can discard them before they become toxic, and it is believed to play a key role in the removal of damaged mitochondria from cells.   "Aging is a major risk factor for the development and progression of many neurodegenerative diseases," said David Walke...

Eccentric Versus Concentric Resistance Training to Enhance Neuromuscular Activation and Walking Speed Following Stroke
Conclusion. ECC resistance training was more effective for improving bilateral neuromuscular activation, strength, and walking speed following stroke. Future research should assess whether a longer duration ECC training program can provide further benefit.

Classifying Patients with Spatial Neglect by "Aiming" Versus "Where" Spatial Bias May Explain Differential Response to Bromocriptine Treatment (P03.261)
CONCLUSIONS: Classifying spatial neglect may be vital to interpreting rehabilitation outcomes and treatment studies. In this group study, larger than those performed previously, patients with "aiming" bias appeared to respond favorably to bromocriptine. However, "aiming" neglect patients may also have had milder neglect than those with "where" bias. Therefore, identifying "aiming" bias may also identify milder forms of neglect likely to respond to bromocriptine. Future studies with more bias-characterized patients are indicated.Disclosure: Dr. Chaudhari has nothing to disclose. Dr. Shah has nothing to disclose. Dr. Goedert...

Stem Cells for Cell-Based Therapies
The world of stem cells We know the human body comprises many cell types (e.g., blood cells, skin cells, cervical cells), but we often forget to appreciate that all of these different cell types arose from a single cell—the fertilized egg. A host of sequential, awe-inspiring events occur between the fertilization of an egg and the formation of a new individual: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are also called totipotent cells. The first steps involve making more cells by simple cell division: one cell becomes two cells; two cells become four cells, etc. Each cell of early development is undifferentiated; that is, it is...
