First experience of international proctoring hands-on stroke course using Tegus telemedical system for overcoming education challenges during the war in Ukraine
Interv Neuroradiol. 2023 Aug 9:15910199231193912. doi: 10.1177/15910199231193912. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInterventional neuroradiology (INR) has not yet received official certification as a surgical subspecialty in Ukraine. Consequently, there is uncertainty surrounding the availability of a neurosurgical internship and a structured INR training program to provide neuroendovascular procedures. In recent years, mechanical thrombectomy has become the standard of care for acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion, as supported by evidence-based guidelines. This emphasizes the need for INR specialists, whic...

E-223 Improved time to diagnosis with portable MR imaging
ConclusionPortable MRI is a promising innovation with the aim to expand patient access and improve diagnostic times so that critical and potential lifesaving imaging diagnoses can be promptly treated with the urgency that is required. While initial analysis provides evidence that portable MRI has advantages over conventional MRI systems including workflow efficiency and improved patient imaging times, this will need to be compared to the unfortunate negative drawbacks of lessened image resolution and limited imaging sequences that come with the convenience of portable MRI systems. If the hypothesis is further corroborated,...

Stakeholders' Experiences Using Videoconferencing for a Group-Based Stroke Intervention During COVID-19: A Thematic Analysis
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Tailored training protocols may support stakeholders who are participating in telerehabilitation interventions using new software or devices. Future studies that identify specific tailoring variables will advance the development of telerehabilitation training protocols. What This Article Adds: These findings provide stakeholder-identified barriers and facilitators, in addition to stakeholder-informed recommendations, for technology training protocols that may support uptake of telerehabilitation in occupational therapy.PMID:37314955 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050111

COVID-19 Can Cause New Cholesterol Problems. What to Know
Not long after the start of the global coronavirus pandemic, it was apparent that many people infected with SARS-CoV-2 were developing persistent and, in some cases, debilitating health problems. Now known widely as post-Covid syndrome or Long COVID, the most common symptoms of this condition are fatigue, attention problems, headaches, muscle or joint pain, and weakness. But those are just the start. Medical researchers have also linked SARS-CoV-2 to lingering complications in multiple organs and systems, and some recent work has found that new-onset cholesterol problems may be an under-recognized but common complication o...

Loneliness Is As Deadly As Smoking, Surgeon General Says
WASHINGTON — Widespread loneliness in the U.S. poses health risks as deadly as smoking a dozen cigarettes daily, costing the health industry billions of dollars annually, the U.S. surgeon general said Tuesday in declaring the latest public health epidemic.
About half of U.S. adults say they’ve experienced loneliness, Dr. Vivek Murthy said in a report from his office.
“We now know that loneliness is a common feeling that many people experience. It’s like hunger or thirst. It’s a feeling the body sends us when something we need for survival is missing,” Murthy told The Associated Press in ...

Case report: Dysphagia after COVID-19 infection in a stroke patient —Is neurostimulation a potential management?
A 90-year-old man with stroke was weaned from tube feeding 4 months after stroke onset. However, he had a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection after 2 months and suffered from drastically worsened oropharyngeal dysphagia that required a reinsertion of the nasogastric tube. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study revealed poor bolus oral transit, significantly delayed swallowing reflex, reduced pharyngeal movements, and insufficient cough response. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation were applied, in addition to conventional swallowing training. The feeding tube was re...

The patient, a man in his 70s with a shock of silver hair, lies in the neuro intensive care unit (neuro ICU) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Looking at him, you’d never know that a few days earlier a tumor was removed from his pituitary gland. The operation didn’t leave a mark because, as is standard, surgeons reached the tumor through his nose. He chats cheerfully with a pair of research associates who have come to check his progress with a new and potentially revolutionary device they are testing.
The cylind...

Effect of an extension speech training program based on Chinese idioms in patients with post-stroke non-fluent aphasia: A randomized controlled trial
by Sun Pei, Li Weiwei, Zhang Mengqin, He Xiaojun
BackgroundChinese idioms have potential to act as preliminary training material in studies on post-stroke aphasia. ObjectiveTo explore an extension speech training program that takes Chinese idioms as context and expands them into characters, words, sentences and paragraphs and evaluate the effects of this program in patients with post-stroke non-fluent aphasia. MethodsThis was a randomized controlled trial. We recruited patients with post-stroke non-fluent aphasia from the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2021 to January 2022. Participants were randomly assi...

National stroke management plan in Uruguay: Challenges and opportunities
Stroke accounts for 5.5% of the national Global Burden of Disease (GBD) and ~2,000 deaths per year in Uruguay. To respond to this medical emergency, the Ministry of Public Health (MPH) of Uruguay devised the National Stroke Plan (NSP). Scientific associations, universities, scholars, and patient organizations, both at the national and international levels, took part in the process, which ended with the generation of the national stroke management guidelines, including measures based on the best evidence available. This was accompanied by presidential regulatory decrees and several ordinances that set the foundations of the...

Cognitive impairment, anxiety and depression: a map of Cochrane evidence relevant to rehabilitation for people with post COVID-19 condition
CONCLUSIONS: These results are the first step of indirect evidence able to generate helpful hypotheses for clinical practice and future research. They served as the basis for the three recommendations on treatments for these PCC symptoms published in the current WHO Guidelines for clinical practice.PMID:36534008 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.22.07813-3
