Efficacy of mirror therapy and constraint induced movement therapy on upper extremity function and activities of daily living in stroke
Stroke has been identified as an epidemic and an important cause of morbidity and mortality globally, and at least 85% of stroke survivors experience hemiplegia and upper-extremity function of at least 69% of patients are affected. Over 50% of stroke survivors have impairment of motor function of the upper extremity; therefore there is pertinent need to use functional rehabilitation approaches such as; mirror therapy and constraint induced movement therapy for stroke survivors to regain upper extremity motor function.

Lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D is associated with severer white matter hyperintensity and cognitive function in patients with non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular events
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is the second most common type of cognitive impairment, referring to the entire spectrum of cognitive impairment contributed by cerebrovascular pathology1. Due to the progressively higher incidence of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases, VCI, including post-stroke cognitive impairment are the leading causes of disability epidemic worldwide2-3. White matter lesions, manifested as white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, are one of the most common pathological characteristics of VCI4.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Stroke: Clinical Manifestations and Pathophysiological Insights
An outbreak of an acute respiratory illness of unknown cause started in Wuhan, Hubei province, China on December 12, 2019.1,2 A new strain of coronavirus, named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified in these patients. Subsequently, the identified acute respiratory illness was named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Soon thereafter, the COVID-19 epidemic in China became a pandemic with a significant burden on healthcare and the world-wide economy. SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to be a distinct class of the beta coronaviruses (Beta-CoVs) with a 79.5% gene sequence homology to the severe ...
