Exoskeleton-assisted Anthropomorphic Movement Training (EAMT) for Post-stroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Stroke is the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, and it places a substantial burden on healthcare services and the socioeconomic system.1 More than two-thirds of individuals with stroke have upper extremity motor impairment and functional deficits at hospital admission,2, 3 manifesting as muscle weakness, loss of coordination and abnormal synergies.4 Moreover, upper limb dysfunction leads to long-term limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation.5 Extensive studies have reported that participants can benefit from high-intensity, task-specific training programs based on motor-le...

Different stroke(s)
A 13-year-old boy with mild learning difficulties presented to his district general hospital after an unwitnessed episode of collapse with vomiting but no loss of consciousness. He had 3 days of lethargy and intermittent occipital headaches waking him from sleep. Two days later, after another ‘funny turn’, he represented with right-side paraesthesia, weakness and word-finding difficulty. He had three previous ‘collapses’ over the last 6 months, including symptoms of transient dizziness, slurred speech, dribbling, difficulty swallowing and left-facial paraesthesia from which he had recovere...

Toward automatic evaluation of medical abstracts: The current value of sentiment analysis and machine learning for classification of the importance of PubMed abstracts of randomized trials for stroke
The exponential growth of the number of medical publications makes it more and more difficult for the clinical practitioner to keep track of relevant scientific progress. Computer-aided screening and analysis might help to overview and classify the content of medical publications more efficiently. The new wave of enthusiasm for machine learning algorithms has launched several new possibilities to analyze and categorize documents, ranging from sports news to hospital discharge summaries. Search algorithms for the medical literature, i.e.

Identification of key predictors of hospital mortality in critically ill patients with embolic stroke using machine learning
This study aimed to use machine learning (ML) to identify the key predictors of mortality for ES patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Data were extracted from two large ICU databases: MIMIC-IV for training and internal validation, and eICU-CRD for external validation. We developed predictive models of ES mortality based on 15 ML algorithms. We relied on the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) to address class imbalance. Our main performance metric was area under the ROC (AUROC). We adopted recursive feature elimination (RFE) for feature selection. We assessed model performance using three disease-severi...

Act F.A.S.T. and Save a Life!
Yes, I'm getting older! My knees hurt for no reason at times and my joints pop and crack like an old house settling. Yet I continue to push through by working out regularly, eating healthy, and hoping to slow down Father Time and ignore my athletic mortality. Many of my physician colleagues admit to neglecting their health due to the busy lives they lead, but I try my best to practice what I preach. Stressing the importance of healthy eating, being physically active, taking medication as prescribed and regular follow ups with a physician is more than just a reflex recommendation to my patients. It is an integral part of my...

New Data From Two Large Studies Reinforce Effectiveness of Dual Pathway Inhibition (DPI) with XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) Plus Aspirin in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and/or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
RARITAN, N.J., May 23, 2022 – Findings from the XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) Phase 3 COMPASS Long-Term Open Label Extension (LTOLE) study and the XARELTO® in Combination with Acetylsalicylic Acid (XATOA) registry have been published in the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) European Heart Journal, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. Additionally, the XATOA registry was presented at the American Congress of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session (ACC.22). These studies provide further evidence supporting the role of dual pathway inhibition (DPI) with the XARELTO® vascular dose (2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg...

How John Fetterman Came Out of the Darkness
When he looks back on the past year—a year in which he nearly died, became a U.S. Senator, and nearly died again—it is the debate that John Fetterman identifies as the breaking point.
“The debate lit the mitch,” he says, then shakes his head in frustration and tries again. The right word is there in his brain, but he struggles to get it out. “Excuse me, that should be lit the mitch—” He stops and tries again. “Lit the match,” he says finally.
Oct. 25, 2022: the date is lodged in his mind. “I knew I had to do it,” he tells me. “I knew that the vote...
